PROJECT: Site Plan for Florence Elementary Driveway and Parking Improvements
EXECUTIVE
SUMMARY:
On behalf of Keller Independent School District, Teague, Nall and Perkins is requesting
approval of a Site Plan for driveway and parking improvements at Florence Elementary
School on property described as Tracts 1F and 1G, Jesse G. Allen Survey, Abstract
No. 18, City of Southlake, Tarrant County, Texas and located at 3095 Johnson Rd.,
Southlake, Texas. Current Zoning: CS Community Service District. SPIN Neighborhood
# 11.
REQUEST
DETAILS:
The applicant is requesting a site plan for improvements to the driveway and parking in
front of the school to improve traffic flow and to provide additional parking spaces for
pick up and drop off of students and for special events. The limited internal driveway
stacking and off-street parking that currently exists is resulting in traffic backing up on
Johnson Rd. and parents parking in surrounding neighborhoods during drop off and
pick up times. The proposed driveway configuration will increase the internal driveway
stacking from approximately 10-15 cars to approximately 60-70 cars. Off-street parking
will increase from 101 spaces to 148 spaces.
ACTION NEEDED: 1) Conduct a public hearing
2) Consider approval of a site plan

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
OWNER:
Keller Independent School District
APPLICANT:
Teague, Nall and Perkins
PROPERTY ADDRESS:
3095 Johnson Rd.
PROPERTY
DESCRIPTION:
Tracts 1F and 1G, Jesse G. Allen Survey, Abstract No. 18
LAND USE CATEGORY:
Public/Semi-Public
CURRENT ZONING: “
CS” – Community Services District
HISTORY:
-The school was constructed in 1975 or 1976.
-The property was given the “CS” – Community Service District zoning
designation with the adoption of Zoning Ordinance No. 480 in 1989.
-A concept plan (ZA98-028) for an addition to the school and an additional
parking area was approved by City Council on May 5, 1998.
-A revised concept plan (ZA99-104) to add a shade structure was approved by
City Council on Dec. 7, 1999.
-A site plan (ZA10-028) to add a shade structure over existing playground
equipment was approved by City Council on June 15, 2010.
PATHWAYS
MASTER PLAN:
A six (6) foot sidewalk exists along Johnson Rd. No sidewalk exists or is
planned for Harrell Dr. The City Engineer has determined that the requirement
for a 5’ sidewalk along all public streets with a Council approved site plan is not
roughly proportional to the proposed driveway and parking improvements since
the number of students is not increasing. An on-street bikeway is planned for
Harrell Drive and Johnson Rd.
TRANSPORTATION
ASSESSMENT:
The school is located on the south side of Johnson Rd. and the east side of
Harrell Drive. Johnson Rd. is designated and constructed as a 2-lane undivided
collector within approximately 70 feet of right-of-way.
WATER & SEWER:
Water and sewer service is existing. No new extension or modification is
needed.
DRAINAGE ANALYSIS:
The proposed improvements should not have an impact on existing storm
water run-off or systems.
TREE PRESERVATION:
No trees are proposed to be removed with the project.Five trees are to be
saved in the area of the proposed driveway and parking improvements and
three canopy trees are proposed to be added in that area.
