Department of Planning & Development Services S T A F F R E P O R T April 15, 2015 CASE NO: PROJECT: EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: ZA15-012 Site Plan for Block 2R1, Lot 4, Southlake Town Square Cooper and Stebbins is requesting approval of a Site Plan for the development of an approximately 12,003 square foot single-story retail/restaurant building on approximately 4.06 acres located at 1240 Main Street. SPIN Neighborhood #8 DETAILS: Cooper and Stebbins is requesting approval of a Site Plan for Block 2R1, Lot 4 of Southlake Town Square located on the southwest corner of State Street and Prospect Street for the development of an approximately 12,003 square foot one-story building. As proposed, the applicant is showing the building to contain two spaces, an approximately 8,000 square foot retail space and an approximately 4,000 square foot restaurant space. The development of this building will remove fifty-two (52) parking spaces located where the current building is being proposed, two (2) of those spaces being on-street parking spaces. The building façade is proposed to be made up of primarily brick, stucco, glass and cast stone. The materials being proposed are similar to other buildings within Southlake Town Square and share similar architectural themes. A site plan was previously approved by City Council in July of 2008 (Planning Case ZA08-039) for an approximately 46,900 square foot two-story building containing office and retail uses. The location of this approved building would have removed 106 parking spaces.

integrated into one cohesive district or into distinct sub-districts, each with its own unique characteristics. A mix of different uses is encouraged to create a vibrant, lively, and unique environment. TREE PRESERVATION: PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION: STAFF COMMENTS: There are five (5) existing Live Oaks and four (4) Red Maples that are proposed to be transplanted to new and existing landscape islands within the parking lot of Block 2R1, therefore preserving all trees affected by the development of this building. The DT Zoning District does not require the applicant to preserve any minimum amount of trees but rather makes their tree preservation plan subject to City Council s approval. April 9, 2015; Approved (4-0) subject to Site Plan Review Summary No. 2, dated April 2, 2015 and the staff report dated April 2, 2015. The City has adopted Downtown District design guidelines that should be considered when reviewing elevation changes such as the one being proposed and are as follows: Site Design and Parking Site Design: In order to create attractive, pedestrian friendly streets and provide street-level activity and interest, buildings shall: be built to or close to the sidewalk have entrances oriented to the sidewalk for ease of pedestrian access be located in such a manner as to minimize conflicts between pedestrians and automobiles Building Orientation: Buildings shall be oriented toward the major street front with the primary entrance located on that street Corner Lots: At key intersections, buildings located on corner lots shall utilize variations in building massing to emphasize street intersections as points of interest in the district. Parking: On-street parking (parallel or angled) shall be permitted in the Downtown district. Off-street surface parking shall be predominantly located behind buildings and accessed by alleys or rear drives when ever possible. Building Massing, Scale & Rhythm Building Massing & Scale: A building s massing is its exterior volume and its scale is the relationship of its overall size and its component parts with its adjoining buildings, spaces, and people. A building s massing shall relate to its site, use, and to the massing of adjacent buildings. A building s massing shall serve to define entry points and help orient pedestrians. The scale of individual building facade components shall relate to one another and the human scale, particularly at the street level. Attachment A ZA15-012 Page 2

Buildings and/or facades shall emphasize and frame or terminate important vistas. Building Rhythm: A building s rhythm is the pattern created by the regular recurrence or alteration of its constituent architectural components. Non-residential and mixed use buildings in Downtown, to the extent practicable, shall maintain a 25 or multiples of 25 building facade widths. Variations in the rhythms within individual building facades shall be achieved within any block of building facades. Breaks in the predominant rhythm may also be used to reinforce changes in massing and important elements such as building entrances or pedestrian pass-throughs. Storefronts Retailers located at the street level primarily use storefronts to orient and advertise merchandise to customers. Retail buildings shall provide street-level pedestrian-oriented uses at the ground floor level. Storefronts on facade treatments that span multiple tenants shall use architecturally compatible materials, colors, details, awnings, signage, and lighting fixtures. Entrances The design and location of building entrances in the Downtown district are important to help define the pedestrian environment and create retail-friendly environments. Entrances shall be easily identifiable as primary points of access to buildings. Building entrances may be defined and articulated by architectural elements such as lintels, pediments, pilasters, columns, porticos, porches, overhangs, railings, balustrades, and others as appropriate. All building elements should be compatible with the architectural style, materials, colors, and details of the building as a whole. Entrances to upper level uses may be defined and integrated into the design of the overall building facade. Building Materials Exterior finish building materials shall consist of: Masonry, which is defined as brick, cast stone, glass fiber reinforced concrete, glass fiber reinforced gypsum, and split face concrete masonry units Stucco, including synthetic stucco (exterior insulation finishing system - EFIS) Glazed ceramic and porcelain tile Fiber reinforced plastic (with the exception of plastic or vinyl siding) - used for exterior building components, including but not limited to: cornice and entablature elements, decorative columns and pilasters, storefront trim, railings, and balustrades, spandrel panels, and similar elements.
