Development Details Proposed revisions to the previously approved business park concept plan from 5 buildings to 7 buildings ranging in size from 12-14,000 SF to 20,000 SF buildings. The total SF for all the buildings would be increased from 100,000 SF to 120,000 SF (pending required green space calculations). All buildings would be one story (similar to Champion Crossing) with additional architectural features including more colored masonry treatments and additional landscaping for a campus atmosphere. An additional feature would include a potential walking trail throughout the property. The proposed drive would be changed with a possible connection to the west Dragon Stadium parking lot pending discussions with Carroll ISD. Tenants would be local businesses looking for larger facilities and local residents wanting to have office space in Southlake. Buildings would be placed or tucked into the trees to help preserve the existing trees as much as possible.
