AGENDA ITEM #4. IMPERVIOUS COVERAGE. ORDINANCE NO. 480-BB:
Zoning Administrator Karen Gandy presented this item to the Commission. She said there was one
remaining item she needed to discuss with the Commission which was not shown on the summary
chart. This item was the percentage of required impervious coverage for Personal Care Facilities.
She said that in the first drafts of this ordinance (approximately a year ago), the work group felt that
they should delete the 70% impervious coverage requirement for Personal Care Facilities and go
with the impervious coverage requirement for the underlying zoning category. Ms. Gandy requested
that the Commission make a recommendation on this matter.
She stated that variances may be granted in all districts, except I-1 and I-2, to allow increased
impervious coverages, up to, but not exceeding, an additional 5% if the following criteria is met: for
each 1% of impervious coverage granted, the applicant shall add an additional 2 feet to the depth of
the required bufferyard(s) adjacent to any street and an additional 1 foot of depth to the required side
and rear bufferyard(s).
Vice-Chairman Murphy asked if that would be considered a variance.
Ms. Gandy stated that it would be a variance.
Chairman Creighton opened the Public Hearing. No one in the audience stepped forward to speak.
Chairman Creighton closed the Public Hearing.
Commissioner Jones asked if there was a unanimous vote from the Work Group in favor of this
ordinance.
Chairman Creighton stated that she did not think there was a formal vote taken, but she felt everyone
was generally satisfied with it.
Ms. Gandy stated there were some compromises made, but by the end of the meetings, she felt there
was a consensus between the elected and appointed officials and the development community.
Commissioner Jones stated, by looking at the chart, he can not see where the compromises were
made. Regarding the 5% variance, Commissioner Jones asked what the legal implications would
be if sometimes it was granted and sometimes it was not.
City Attomey Debra Drayovitch stated that her understanding was if the developer met those
requirements, then he would be entitled to the extra 5% impervious coverage.
Commissioner Peebles stated that it is not so much that the developer would be asking for a variance
because he would be within the ordinance. He said the word variance is probably a little deceiving.
Ms. Gandy agreed.

Chairman Creighton stated her recollection of the discussion was that a developer could essentially
earn additional impervious coverage by making certain concessions elsewhere on the tract.
Commissioner Jones asked staff if future review letters would list such an item as a variance or
would it be shown as an informational comment.
Ms. Gandy stated that staff would have to point it out somehow, probably as an informational
comment.
Ms. Gandy asked the Commission if they would be amiable to accepting other areas on the site (such
as, groves of trees, natural areas along creeks, etc.) in lieu of the proposed perimeter bufferyard strips
as currently set forth in the ordinance, if equivalent land area was provided elsewhere on site. She
asked if the developer could also provide equivalent land area within the parking lots by creating
larger parking islands to help break up the sea of parking.
Chairman Creighton stated that, having worked on the Work Group, she thinks that is clearly within
their intent. She said it was not so much a desire to add a foot here or there of bufferyard, but to
allow a development to gain additional impervious coverage if additional pervious coverage was
provided elsewhere.
Vice-Chairman Murphy stated if we are going to do that, he thinks we ought to specifically ask for
the Landscape Administrator to comment on the survivability of the trees and whether or not it is
a practical implementation of what we are trying to accomplish. He stated if the trees die in two (2)
years, then that would not accomplish anything.
Commissioner Sandlin stated in the language regarding increasing impervious coverage up to 5%,
the word "may" needs to be changed to "shall."
Ms. Gandy agreed.
Motion was made to approve Impervious Coverage Ordinance No. 480-BB, recommending in the
S.U.P. for Personal Care Facilities to allow the underlying zoning district to be the determinant for
the impervious coverage percentage; allowing specifically for the additional impervious coverage
percentages and eliminating any language such as "may vary;" allowing for the equivalent area
within the site such as in parking islands, but reqtfiring comments from the Landscape Administrator
regarding the practicality and survivability of the existing trees; and requiring the equivalent area
to be located at the front or the sides of the site.
Motion: Murphy
Second: LeVrier
Ayes: Sandlin, LeVrier, Peebles, Shankland, Jones, Murphy, Creighton
Nays: None
Approved: 7-0
Motion carried.

item to the Commission. He asked staff if 40' is sufficient lot width for Lot 4R3R2 listed in Item
#6b.
Senior Current Planner Dennis Killough stated that it would.
Mr. Levitt asked to delete Item #6a (provide lots perpendicular or radial to the R.O.W.).
Vice-Chairman Murphy stated that the blueline has two (2) lots labeled as 4R3R1 and asked if the
lot which is referred to in Item #6b as Lot 4R3R2 could instead be referred to as the north east comer
lot. He said he does not want any confusion.
Chairman Creighton opened the Public Hearing.
Tom Levitt stated he owns a residence adjacent to the northeast comer lot. He asked what has been
proposed for that comer.
John Levitt stated that it has been designated for "O-1" uses. He said they will have to provide a Site
Plan for each lot.
Tom Levitt asked if there had been any provisions made for structural barriers such as sound fences.
Mr. Killough stated there is an 8' screening device required adjacent to residential properties.
Chairman Creighton stated that it could be a six foot (6') fence combined with trees.
Tom Levitt stated that trees are nice, but fences make a better noise barriers.

Commissioner Peebles asked the City Attorney if this S.U.P. can be tied to this applicant.
City Attorney Debra Drayovitch stated that Commissioner Jones said that is different from what the
C.O.G. classes are teaching Commissioners. She said her recommendation is for the Commission
to do what they want to tonight and, before this item goes to City Council, she will have that
confirmed.
Conunissioner LeVrier agreed with Commissioner Jones that they were taught that an S.U.P. was
tied to the land and not the user.
Commissioner Sandlin asked the City Attorney to get them a clarification because he does not feel
comfortable tying it to a specific person. He said he does not feel they have that right.
Commissioner Shankland asked if the S.U.P. was for felines or for any animal.
Ms. Drayovitch stated the ordinance refers only to kennels.
Senior Current Planner Dennis Killough stated it was the applicant's request to make this for cats
only.
Commissioner Shankland stated that he wood like to see it limited to felines with a weight limit of
50 lbs.
Motion was made to approve ZA 98-093, Specific Use Permit for a kennel for household cats only.
Motion: Sandlin
Second: LeVrier
Commissioner Peebles stated he does not want the Commission to get the wrong idea that he is
denying this for any reason other than not tying it to this specific applicant.
Chairman Creighton stated that since legal counsel has not said otherwise, she would prefer to tie
this to the individual applicant and let it get sorted out before it went to City Council.
Mr. Grant stated that he would agree to the request to limit his application to his business only, if
that is the Commission's desire.
Ayes: Shankland, Jones, Murphy, Sandlin, LeVrier
Nays: Peebles, Creighton
Approved: 5-2
Motion carried.

Chairman Creighton closed the Public Heating.
(Planning and Zoning Commission meeting, 09-03-98, tape 1, section #3203)

Mr. Wilkinson requested a variance to Item #6.a.6 (required spacing between driveways along 70'
collector).
Mr. Wilkinson asked for a variance to Item #6.b (stacking depths) on driveways C6, E, G, H, and
J. He said they looked into adding more driveways possibly on the S.H. 114 side which would
reduce the required stacking depth. He said they did not want to do that; they wanted to limit the
number of driveways as much as possible.
Commissioner Peebles asked if the reason that driveway 'J' is not in compliance is because of the
four (4) parking spaces.
Senior Planner Dennis Killough stated that is the reason.
Mr. Wilkinson stated the four (4) parking spaces are there to accommodate the required number of
spaces for that restaurant site.
Commissioner Peebles stated he would be inclined to waive the parking requirement rather than to
have those four (4) spaces along that main entrance.
Mr. Dozier stated that would be fine.
Mr. Wilkinson asked for a variance to Items #6.c.2 and 6.c.3 (driveway alignmems).
Mr. Wilkinson asked for a variance to Item #7.d Off Type C bufferyard along the 70' collector). He
said ifa 10' bufferyard is placed between the adjacem O-1 lot and the R.O.W., the street alignment
will not match with the Northwest Highway overpass.
Mr. Wilkinson asked for a variance to Item #10.a (50' building setback on both F.M. 1709 and S.H.
114). He asked for a 30' setback on Building 1 and Building 19.
Regarding Item #12, Mr. Wilkinson requested eliminating the following uses in the C-3 zoning
district: 7) Conventional golf courses; 16) lodges, sororities, and/or fraternities; and 23) plumbing
and heating appliances, repair and installation services.
(Planning and Zoning Commission meeting, 09-03-98, tape 1, section #5353)
Chairman Creighton asked if Item 17 listed in the C-3 district permitted uses would include assisted
living facilities.
Mr. Killough stated this item is referring to nursing homes and hospitals, not assisted living
facilities.
Chairman Creighton suggested striking the words "and care" in Item #17 to avoid any confusion.

Chairman Creighton stated since C-3 includes all C-2 uses which has outdoor Christmas tree sales.
She stated she would also strike in the C-2 district: #8 - business colleges or private schools, #24 -
frozen food lockers, and #36 - tires, batteries, and automobile accessory sales. She said she would
not object to Kuman or Sylvan, but she would not want an ITI.
Vice-Chairman Murphy stated he thinks that is being a little overly restrictive.
Mr. Dozier stated that a tenant might have Christmas trees outside on their sidewalk. He said there
will not be a major Christmas tree lot which only sells Christmas trees. He said he does not want
to prohibit their tenants from having them on their sidewalks. He said they are currently talking to
a grocery store who he knows sells trees at Christmas on their sidewalk.
Mr. Carpenter suggested that possibly the applicant would agree to limit Christmas tree sales to the
5% of the floor area that they are granted by right.
Mr. Dozier agreed to that suggestion.
Mr. Dozier agreed to limit #8 (business colleges or private schools) in the C-2 district to 30% of the
floor area of the lease space.
(Planning and Zoning Commission meeting, 09-03-98, tape 1, section #6475)
Commissioner Peebles asked if he would eliminate #29 - radio recording and television broadcasting
offices and studios.
Mr. Dozier agreed.
Chairman Creighton asked if he would eliminate #18 in the C-3 district - mortuaries, funeral homes
and undertakers.
Mr. Dozier said he does not intend to have a mortuary or funeral home but does not want to be in
conflict since there is an existing cemetery on the property.
Chairman Creighton, Vice-Chairman Murphy, and Commissioner Shankland all agreed that
driveway 'F' should be eliminated.
Commissioner Peebles stated that he loves this development, and he is all for it. He would like to
see more green space on that entry lot and does not want a gas station at that location. He suggested
flipping the locations of the water and green space area and the building.
Vice-Chairman Murphy stated that is great direction to give them, and he completely agrees. He is

according to the plat recorded in Volume 388-W, Page 51, Plat Records, Tarrant County, Texas; and

Chairman Creighton opened the Public Hearing.
Carlos Dorris, 213 Eastwood, Southlake, Texas, owns part of the property for this case. He said he
has had many offers to buy this piece of property, but he has totally disagreed with the concept of
what they had in mind. He thinks this will be a quality project for the City.
Chairman Creighton closed the Public Heating.
Mr. Wilkinson asked if the Commission would agree to possibly moving the location of the gas
station to the comer of the 70' collector and F.M. 1709. He said it would not meet our current
ordinance because that is not an arterial.
Commissioner Peebles stated that he would not mind it being at that location particularly if Mr.
Wilkinson would add some more green space at the front of the City. He said if Mr. Wilkinson came

back with the architectural rendering on Building 9 instead and more green space at the head of F.M.
1709 and S.H. 114, he would favorably consider having the gas station on Building 9.
Chairman Creighton stated that substituting a McDonald's for a gas station does not make her feel
any better.
Commissioner Sandlin stated that he would agree to move the gas station down to the other location
as long as we could come up with something that would really be high quality at the entrance to the
City.
Vice-Chairman Murphy suggested to the applicant that P&Z might be easy compared to where they
have to go after this and to not start celebrating, yet.
