Agenda Item No. 5B. Authorize the Mavor to enter into an Interlocal Aureement with Tarrant Count
for the rehabilitation of Union Church, Randol Mill, and Lonesome Dove Avenue In December 2002,
Tarrant County officials contacted the staff and inquired about roadway projects with which they might
assist. For such projects, the County provides labor and equipment and the City provides or pays for
the materials, such as hot mix, cement, storm sewer pipe, concrete, etc.
Staff reviewed with the County three possible projects: 1.) Union Church Road /S. Pearson Avenue
(approximately 7,800 feet); 2.) Randol Mill Avenue (approximately 5,830 feet) from the 90 degree
turn to Dove Road; and 3.) Lonesome Dove Avenue (approximately 670 feet) from Dove Road to
Emerald Circle. A total of 14,300 feet of pavement will be rehabilitated under this agreement. The
Union Church Road /S. Pearson Avenue project will include installing pipe culverts under Union
Church Road to eliminate the low -water crossings. Tarrant County has estimated the cost of the
materials as follows:
Union Church/S. Pearson $315,000
Randol Mill Avenue $ 91,000
Lonesome Dove Avenue $ 19,000

Funds for the materials for county projects were included in FY2002 -03 CIP. The City has an
interlocal agreement with the City of Keller to pay half the cost of the hot mix and cement for the
Union Church project (agreement approved / executed on July 20, 1999).
Tarrant County Commissioners approved this interlocal agreement on February 18, 2003. It is
anticipated that Tarrant County could complete Union Church/S. Pearson and Lonesome Dove Avenue
in March and April and Randol Mill Avenue later in the year. If you have any questions, contact
Pedram Farahnak.
Agenda Item No. 5C. Appointment of Malcolm Jackson as Director of Community Services. As you
know, Malcolm Jackson has been Interim Director of Community Services for the past four months,
and City Manager Billy Campbell and I believe he has done an excellent job. He has carried out the
day -to -day business of the department with the utmost professionalism and attention to detail with very
little guidance. Billy and I have heard nothing but praise from his peers as well as his fellow workers.
As a fourteen year Southlake veteran, Malcolm easily marshals the resources needed to get things
done, understands city procedures, and has a strong familiarity with the community. His appointment
to this position will allow us to move forward with park projects and programs with few, if any,
transitional challenges. Contact me if you have any questions on this item.

• Minimum Lot Width:
• Minimum Floor Area
• Minimum Front Yard
• Minimum Side Yard
Adjacent to a Street:
Allow 85' width on lots having 50%
frontage on a curve (SF -20A 100')
3,500 S.F. (SF -20A 1,800)
45' for Lots fronting Ridgecrest (SF -20A 35')
20' (SF -20A 35', except P &Z or CC can allow
up to 15')
The applicant requests the following variances:
1) Review Item No. la - requiring a street stub into the west boundary connecting to the dedicated
public roadway easement stub for Sweet Street.
2) Review Item No. 2a - requiring a minimum 125' rear lot line width on certain lots.
The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval on January 23, 2003 (7 -0) subject to
review, granting the requested variances, and accepting the applicant's willingness to install temporary
fire lane along south boundary of site through the city property if it can be worked out with the city and
his willingness to move the entrance (street intersecting Ridgecrest) approximately 125' to the south.
The plan before you designates the required Sweet Street connection as a 24' wide common
area /emergency & pedestrian access easement rather than a 50' public right of way. This street
connection is required by the subdivision ordinance. It will provide a needed connection to N. White
Chapel Boulevard, allowing an alternate route for White Chapel, Sweet Street and Ridgecrest residents
during any street closures and will provide a more direct access for Ridgecrest residents to the future
school on White Chapel. It will also help disperse traffic in the area by offering multiple traffic routes.
The street intersecting Ridgecrest has been relocated ± 45' to the south.
The City Council approved on first reading on February 18, 2003 (7 -0) subject to Concept Plan
Review Summary No. 5, dated February 14, 2003, accepting R -PUD regulations as proposed; granting
requested variances; providing an emergency and pedestrian easement into Sweet Street; and accepting
the applicant's agreement to improve the East Dove/Ridgecrest intersection.

a Item No. 7C. Resolution No. 03 -008_ Amendment to the currently adoated Land Use Plan
creating a new land use category to be known as "Town Center." This amendment is proposed to
support the creation of the "DT" Downtown District and designate the geographical areas considered
appropriate for that type of land use and development. The proposal amends the text of the Land Use
Plan by adding language supporting development of a "town center" and a description of the new
designation. The proposal also revises the map placing the "TC" designation in the general area
bounded by State Highway 114, North Carroll Avenue, East Southlake Boulevard and the east
boundary of Southlake Town Square, specifically the area currently designated as "Mixed Use." This
area includes all land currently under control by the developers of Town Square, as well as the DPS
facility on N. Carroll Avenue.

any questions regarding this item, please contact Bruce Payne or Dennis Killough
Agenda Item No. 7D. Ordinance No. 480-SS. 2 nd Readinu_ An amendment to the Comarehensive
Zoninu Ordinance No. 480_ as amended_ as it aertains to the creation of a Downtown Zoninu District.
Southlake Town Square has become recognized as a unique development due to its qualities as a true
small town downtown. At the time of its inception, the City's Non- Residential Planned Unit
Development standards (NR -PUD) were used as a base to tailor regulations to create this mixed -use

development. Of late, valid concerns have been raised about the applicability of blanket NR -PUD
regulations to Town Square. In particular, questions about the appropriateness of the Town Square
land use mix elsewhere in the city are being raised. In addressing the above concerns and in
recognizing the unique nature of Town Square, the Planning Department, under Council direction, is
proposing the creation of a Downtown Zoning District.
The City Council approved first reading (6 -1) (Morris) December 17, 2002.
The material in your packet contains the revised "DT" uses and regulations following the last work
session held on February 20, 2003 and discussions with the property owners. If you have any questions
regarding this item, please contact Bruce Payne
Agenda Item No. 7E. Resolution No. 03 -011, Approving Downtown District Design Guidelines as it
pertains to development in the Downtown Zoning District At the first reading of Ordinance 480 -SS
at City Council on December 17, 2002, several concerns were raised about the elimination of the
applicability of the Overlay District standards on all development in the Downtown District. The
concerns stemmed from the lack of any specific design standards that reflected the character of
existing development. In order to address the above concerns, staff is proposing a set of Downtown
District Design Guidelines based on the existing patterns of development. The guidelines are not
intended to be regulatory but are intended to assist the decision making authorities in determining the
extent to which proposed development meets the goals of the Downtown District. The proposed
guidelines are not intended to be static, but will likely evolve to better address future development and
market trends. The guidelines shall be adopted by City Council in conjunction with the Downtown
Zoning District.
The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval (6 -0) on January 9, 2003. If you have
any questions regarding this item, please contact Bruce Payne.

2002, subject to review, specifically amending Exhibit A, l.a., Permitted Uses: restricting "hotels" to
"full service hotels" and providing a definition and deleting Bed and Breakfast lodging reference;

Agenda Item No. 7J. Ordinance No. 841, 2 " Reading, Approval of Wholesale System Access Fees
required by the contract for water service between the City of Southlake and the City of Fort Worth
dated September 4, 2002. On August 6, 2002 the Southlake City Council authorized the Mayor to
execute a contract for water service between the City of Fort Worth and the City of Southlake for
wholesale purchase of water. Subsequently, the Fort Worth City Council authorized and executed the
contract on September 4, 2002. Entering into this standard contract has put us in the position of having
to pass along Fort Worth's system access fee to customers tying into the system.
In accordance with section 16. 1, "System Access Fees," Southlake agrees to pay Fort Worth a
wholesale system access fee for each new or enlarged connection for water service made in
Southlake's service area served by the general benefit facilities of the Fort Worth Water System. The
wholesale system access fee to Southlake for each such connection shall be based upon the size of the
water meter. Sections 16.1 through 16.9 of the water service contract between Southlake and Fort
Worth has been included for your review with this memorandum. Provided in your packet information
is the "System Access Fees" (schedule, showing fees) ranging from $372.05 for a 3 /4" to $28,525.07 for
a 10" meter.
Council approved Ordinance No. 841 on first reading February 18, 2003. If you have any questions,

Agenda Item No. 8A. Ordinance No. 480 -330a, l Reading (ZA03 -005), Rezoning and Site Plan for
Lot 1, Block 1 and Lot 1, Block 2, Carroll I.S.D. No. 6 Addition. This property is located at the
intersection of S. Kimball and Silicon Drive. The purpose of this request is to add 2,020 additional
seats, revise the parking regulations, allocate areas for portable toilets and change previously approved
hours of operation. The review of this application is limited to those areas of change only. As you may
know, these changes are driven by the school district's contract with the Dallas Burn professional
soccer team for use of Dragon Stadium.
The approved zoning and site plan is limited to 7,500 seats. This proposal will increase seating limits
to 9,520 seats. The required parking ratio under the current zoning of the property is 1 space per 5
seats. The proposed seating capacity (9,520) requires a minimum 1,904 parking spaces. Only 1,701

spaces are being provided on site. This includes the 194 spaces added by the additional striping of the
bus storage and parking areas. All buses within the transportation facility would be removed the day
before an event. The total parking provided does not include future parking shown in the northwest
corner of the plan (approximately 465 spaces). Those parking spaces are not to be constructed at this
time. The remaining balance of required parking is proposed to be provided by remote off -site parking
with shuttle service. Please note that Ordinance 480, Section 35.6(9)(h) requires 1 space per 3 seats or
bench seating spaces for Sports Arena, Stadium or Gymnasiums, the current zoning on this property
allows a ratio of 1 space per 5 seats.
Areas for portable toilets are proposed at the northeast and southeast corners of the field. They are to
be screened by 8' fencing with solid slat inserts.
The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended denial (7 -0) on February 20, 2003 for the
following reasons:
1) Parking shortage;
2) Status of negotiation with adjacent property owners on parking, bus relocation and extra
hour of operation;
3) Lack of work with Department of Public Safety;
4) Lack of light shielding; and,
5) Lack of SPIN meeting.
A super- majority vote in the affirmative by the City Council (at least 3 /4 of all members) is required to
over -rule the P &Z`s recommendation for denial of this request. Note that a SPIN meeting has been
scheduled for Monday, March 3.

Agenda Item No. 8B. Ordinance No. 480 -TT, 1 St Reading, An amendment to the Comprehensive
Zoning Ordinance No. 480, as amended, as it pertains to the Planned Unit Development District
PUD . During the discussions and work session held by the City Council on the Southlake Town

Square request for residential brownstones, a concern was raised regarding the ability to request
ancillary uses within the Planned Unit Development Districts (i.e. residential uses in a NRPUD and
commercial uses in a RPUD). The current regulations for PUDs permit an applicant to request up to
10% of the land area within the PUD boundary to have ancillary uses. The City Council approved an
amendment (480 -RR) removing the provision on November 19, 2002.
Following more discussions on the Southlake Town Square residential brownstones, additional
concerns were raised about the ability to make future requests for attached, townhouse or apartment
type residential units within the RPUD zoning district. The City Council directed staff to bring forward
an amendment removing language regarding these types of structures and to add language limiting the
RPUD district to single - family detached type residential units. Staff was also asked to include a
minimum lot area provision for RPUD. A RPUD comparison matrix is included in this packet for
purpose of the lots size discussion.
This amendment also removes some language regarding ancillary uses and mixed use type
development that no longer applies following the removal of ancillary use provisions.
The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended denial (6 -0) on February 6, 2003
Their reasons were as follows: 1) they did not see any issues specific to the R -PUD that created a need
for such changes to be made; 2) they stated that the brownstone issue was separate and distinct from
the R -PUD and therefore should not be tied to making such changes; and 3) they noted that such
changes should be considered in a comprehensive fashion (in the way that the MH study was done).
They also noted that suggested changes to the city's PUD standards should be made in light of the
results of the Southlake 2025 planning effort, which would provide a solid land planning basis for
making changes.
A super - majority vote in the affirmative by the City Council (at least 3 /4 of all members) is required to
over -rule the P &Z`s recommendation for denial of this request.

Agenda Item No. 8C. Ordinance No. 480 -294a, 1 St Reading (ZA02 -124) Rezoning and Concept Plan
for Harris Methodist Southlake This property is located on the south side of E. Southlake Boulevard,
approximately 1500' east of Carroll Avenue. The proposed "S -P -2" Generalized Site Plan District
zoning includes all "O -1" Office District Uses and ambulatory surgery, imaging center, short stay beds
and associated services, medical- related retail, such as pharmacy and durable medical goods, and to
allow up to 43 covered parking spaces as shown on the concept plan (east side of building). The zoning
will follow the "O -1" Office District Regulations except for impervious coverage which is limited to a
maximum of 66 %. The maximum "O -1" impervious coverage is 65 %.
The northern portion of the building is two stories and the southern portion is one story. Phase one
consists of approximately 31,000 sf of hospital (6 beds) and 50,000 SF of medical offices. Phase two
will add approximately 45,000 SF of additional medical offices.
A variance is requested for the spacing of the eastern driveway. Staff recommends that this driveway
not be permitted unless it is aligned with Summit Avenue (80' east centerline to centerline) and used as
a common access driveway with the adjoining property owner to the east.

development of a Liberty Garden in Bicentennial Park. This request is for Council approval of SPDC
matching funds in the amount of $50,000 and park dedication funds not to exceed $40,000 for
construction of a Liberty Garden in Bicentennial Park. Since Park Board approval of matching funds of
$50,000 in October 2002, the committee and staff has reevaluated the original proposal at SPDC's
request and refined the cost analysis with assistance from the consulting firm of Dunkin, Sims,
Stoffels, Inc. The latest costs reflect some items for which quantities or unit prices were adjusted, a
reduction in contingency costs for fixture items, and allowances for ADA accessibility. The result
provides the most current representation of "actual costs" for the project, and, therefore, the most
accurate assessment of the varying funding source obligations. Because the project was recommended
by Park Board to be segregated into two phases, with the pavilion as the second phase, and because the
amount of the Committee's match is dynamic and may exceed $50,000, staff recommends that any
funds or donations received in excess of the requirement for Phase I be allocated to Phase IL Thus far,
the Liberty Garden Committee has secured $32,900 ($22,900 in Phase I) through donations,
contributions, and other cost reductions. The matching funds portion of this request is scheduled to be
considered by SPDC in their meeting immediately prior to the March 4, 2003, City Council meeting
and is contingent upon their approval. If you have any questions, contact Malcolm Jackson.

Change to Current SPDC Meeting Dates. Staff recommends converting the SPDC meetings to be held
in conjunction with the first City Council meeting (first Tuesday) of each month instead of the current
schedule of meeting with the second City Council meeting (third Tuesday) of each month. The
purpose is to maintain the convenience of meeting on the same day as the City Council meeting, and at
the same time facilitate coordination with the Park Board meetings held the second Monday of each
month. Under the current schedule, staff has only three work days to prepare agenda materials between
the Park Board meeting and the SPDC /City Council meeting held the following week. This short time
frame affords inadequate time to conduct a comprehensive review and to properly prepare agenda
items for the packets, but a delay extends the action all the way to the following month. The proposed
