EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Property Situation
The property is located at 2411 Sam School Road.
Development Details
• The applicant is requesting approval of a zoning change and site plan from AG
Agricultural District to S -P -1 Detailed Site Plan District with 0-1 Office District and limited
1 -1 Light Industrial District uses. The property has a Land Use Designation of Low
Density Residential so the applicant has also submitted a Comprehensive Plan
Amendment (CP09 -003) requesting a Mixed Use designation. The property consists of
just less than one acre. An existing commercial building of 7,106 square feet is located
on the property. The most recent use of the property was office /warehouse. The
commercial building was constructed on the property in 1984. The City of Southlake
annexed and zoned the property in 1987 rendering the commercial building non-
conforming. The applicant proposes to remove the illegal addition that was built and use
the original 5,150 square foot commercial building. The applicant stated that they have
cleaned up the property and will make subtle improvements once the addition is
removed. Once additional properties become available for development to the north, the
applicant has stated a desire to plan a much larger, high -end development.
QUESTIONS / CONCERNS
• Is there a wall in the back?
o Yes, a nice retaining wall that is in very good condition. We plan to keep it.
• The plan shows parking. Are you going to pave that area?
o The parking is depicted on the site plan in case future use evolves as offices. We
currently do not intend to pave the parking lot.
• Will there be light manufacturing there?
o No, it will mainly be a warehouse area for someone who may want to store a car
collection.
• Will trucks be coming in and out?
o No, this will not be a public storage area. There will only be one entity occupying
this space.
• What was the original use?
o Cabinet making
• When Sam School Road gets developed, will you improve this piece?
o Yes, this one acre will likely turn into a 5 -acre + development... possibly garden
offices.
