FORUM SUMMARY
Property Situation:
The property is located at 700 Blessed Way.
Development Details:
Gateway Church desires to add a new parking lot north of the existing worship center at their
existing campus located at 700 Blessed Way in Southlake, Texas. The purpose of the new
parking lot is to allow for the next building phase. The existing temporary lot south of the main
building will be demolished in the next building phase and this parking will be in place to allow
the temporary lot to be removed. The next building phase in anticipated in the next two years
and will likely be an addition for adult classrooms. The location chosen for this parking lot is in
an area planned for future parking.
The new parking lot is meant to utilize the same layout as the adjacent parking lot and the
overall concept plan. Minor differences may be to the access points of the new parking lot. The
concept plan showed access to the second level parking deck and not the lower level. Access
to the lower level may be modified when the second level parking deck is constructed.
Roadway/Access
Driveways/access are not affected by this addition. The parking lot will be accessed from the
existing loop road and from the existing entrance drive off of Kirkwood Blvd.
Utilities
Water and Sanitary Sewer service: There are no water or sanitary sewer extension required for
this parking addition.
Storm Sewer: The onsite drainage will consist of curb inlets, and area drains. We anticipate the
use of RCP for larger diameter pipes and HDPE for smaller diameter pipes. The storm drainage
will be piped into the existing storm drainage system on campus.
Electric, Telephone, and Gas: Franchise utilities exist on-site.
Landscape: New plantings shall comply with applicable requirements of the City of Southlake
Landscape Ordinance. The existing landscape areas are assumed to be compliant with the City
of Southlake Landscape Ordinance
Presented at SPIN:
QUESTIONS / CONCERNS:
You are showing 400 parking spaces but what is the overall additional parking going to
be?
Right now we have an exact number but the 400 shown is about 2/3 of
R
what will be built.
How are you addressing the traffic?
As construction occurs, existing parking will go off-line. We are working with
R
police and anticipating the use of the Texas u-turn.
