STAFF COMMENTS: Attached please find the Second Site Plan Review Summary dated April 16, 1992. kiPa KPG 1210 Cross Timber Drive Southlake, TX 76092 March 18, 1992 Karen Gandy Planning and Zoning Southlake City Hall Southlake, TX 76092 Dear Ms. Gandy: Please consider my views regarding the Mobil development project. It is my understanding from questioning some of the members of the Planning & Zoning Commission that the Mobil PUD as currently proposed calls for the construction of homes on lots as petite as 6,000 square feet. I am supportive of the PUD concept, and I am aware of the cost of realty in Southlake. Therefore, I am open to a reasonable accomodation of developer's plans which naturally require more circumspect use of every square foot of land. Nonetheless, lots in the range of 6,000 square feet will, I fear, jeopardize Southlake's opportunity to stand out as a low density, high quality of life community. Southlake must take a calculated risk with regard to the Mobil project; it must decline the current proposal and insist upon lot sizes that are consistent with the variations from the half acre minimum that have already been approved for other PUD projects in Southlake. A project such as Arvida blends fairly well with the community as a whole. Gargantuous homes squeezed onto row house sized lots clash with the bucolic topography of the landscape and the rural spirit of the townspeople. I would ask that, due to the extensive ramifications of this issue, the Planning & Zoning Commission actively seek additional citizen input. I would ask that every possible effort be made to reach a compromise with Mobil that retains Southlake's most precious asset: Open Space. Respectfully submitted, 61-e Carol Lee Hamilton 1213 Whispering Lane Southlake Texas 76092 19 March 1992 Members of the Planning & Zoning Commission A few years ago the City of Southlake passed an Ordinance allowing homes to be built on 30,000 square foot lots. This was not in accordance with the wishes of a great many of the citizens of the city, but it passed at any rate. A little later the PUD section was added to the new zoning ordinance and I am sure most of the people of Southlake do not know the ramifications of having passed the ordinance with PUD included. Some residents are still under the impression that 30,000 square feet lots are minimum in Southlake. We were promised increased rooftops would mean increased revenue for the city by having more taxpayers. What has resulted is increased taxes for all members of the community with no relief in sight. Southlake is a rural community rapidly becoming another run -of- the -mill suburban town. If we allow 6,000 square foot lots, just because Mobil has promised a golf course, we are selling out the integrity of the community in order to for a few people to chase little white balls around a few acres. Please do not permit yourselves to be influenced by a carrot dangling in front of your face called "golf course." Without knowing the long range intent of the gift, it could be detrimental to the taxpayers. How many of the residents would actually vote to allow 6,000 square foot lots in exchange for a golf course beneficial to so few? Provided more time I would have made this a letter to the editor. I believe the residents of Southlake need to be informed of an impending sellout. Yes, in plain and simple words "sellout" is the correct wording. Please give careful consideration to this matter. Do not be swayed by promises of riches not beneficial to the whole city. Sincerely yours. Aloha Payne Concerned resident Former P &Z Member.

Gandy, Zoning Administrator SUBJECT: Ordinance No. 480 Revision: Section 45 On March 3, 1992, the City Council directed Staff to seek the Planning and Zoning Commission's recommendation on a revision to Section 45.1 (2), "Specific Use Permits" to allow churches, synagogues, temples and other similar facilities for worship, fellowship and education to make application for this permit in "ALL" zoning districts. Currently, the zoning ordinance allows religious institutions to locate in the "CS" Community Service district as a permitted right and to locate in certain residential zoning categories by specific use permit. This action was prompted by a request of Rev. Joe Bob McGinnis, pastor of the Rockhaven Church, to relocate to a Southlake site currently zoned "I -1" Light Industrial. Attached please find copies of Section 8, "CS" Community Service, Section 45.1 (2), "Specific Use Permits ", and Rev. McGinnis' letter. On April 9, 1992, the Commission discussed the issues relating to the proposed ordinance revision and directed Staff to ask the City Attorney: 1) do Specific Use Permits stay with the land (i.e. if a church with a SUP left a particular site could another church relocate to that site with no further review by the Commission and the Council) and 2) could the Commission and/ or Council place a time limit on the SUP without a maximum time period being listed in that specific SUP request. The City Attorney responded to the above referenced questions in the following manner: 1) yes, Specific Use Permits do stay with the land and 2) yes, the P & Z Commission and /or the City/ Council may impose a time limitation on the use and establish conditions to th- • . approval; however, it would be better to establish . . imu 'time period for that specific S.U.P. request in the 4 •' - ce. In response to Chairman Wright's concern about future zoning requests in the area, the attorney responded that it was "only human nature" to consider the preexistent uses, whether there by permitted right or by special permits. /0 KPG SECTION 45 SPECIFIC USE PERMITS 45.1 GENERAL PROVISIONS - GENERAL PROVISIONS - The uses listed in this section are prohibited in the City of Southlake unless and until a specific use permit is granted for such use by the City Council in accordance with the requirements and procedures set forth in this Section. A specific use permit shall be required for the following uses (as amended by Ordinance No. 430 -D): DISTRICT SPECIFIC USE WHERE PERMITTED 1. Sale of alcoholic beverages. 0 -2, C -1, C -2, C -3, C -4, HC, S -P -1, S -P -2, PUD 2. Churches, synagogues, temples and other cAG,, RE, SF -1A, SF- similar facilities for worship, fellowship and 1B, SF -30, SF - 20A, education, subject to the following conditions: SF -20B, MF -1, MF -2 a. The City Council shall impose such reasonable conditions as it deems necessary to protect the residential neighborhoods, in so far as practicable, from the detrimental effects of noise, traffic, fire, etc. and to protect the character of the neighborhood and the value of surrounding properties; b. In granting or denying such application, the City Council shall consider such items as the total land area to be devoted to the religious use, the size of the church structures and the congregation, the frequency of church services, other activities which take place on the premises, and the suitability of the property for residential use. The City Council shall consider all effects of such a facility, both beneficial and detrimental, and shall deny such application when the detrimental effects substantially outweigh the beneficial effects. • c. Children's nurseries, child day care centers, and kindergartens may be approved as a part of the main or accessory religious building provided exterior instructional or play areas are suitably fenced from any adjacent street, parking area or property. 45 -1
