ITEM This item supports the following Vision Point and Key Result Areas: VISION POINT AND KEY RESULT AREAS Inviting Residential & Corporate neighborhoods o On-going comprehensive planning o Sensitivity to neighborhood integrity o Outstanding community appearance o Highest quality development and aesthetic standards o Open space preservation This property was removed from the PD 3-9 zoning district was rezoned to PD 3-11. The current PD 3-11 Zoning and accompanying Concept Plan were approved on April 24, 2008. Convenience stores and gas stations are permitted by right in this zoning district. BACKGROUND On October 25, 2010, the Preliminary and Final Plats were approved by the Town Council after receiving a unanimous recommendation for approval from the Planning and Zoning Commission. Approval of a Planned Development Site Plan is the next requisite step prior to applying for a building permit. The applicant has submitted a accompanying Planned Development Site Plan for approval. The Planning and Zoning Commission is authorized to approve Site Plans that do not involve any variances. Since the submitted Site Plan, if approved as proposed, will require approval of a variance, the Town Council must approve the Site Plan after receiving a recommendation from the Planning and Zoning Commission. Details regarding the variances are included in the staff report. s:\town secretary\planning & zoning\p&z agendas\2010\11-29-10\qt site plan pz am 11-29-2010.doc Page 2of 2 N/A FUNDING Staff has reviewed the Planned Development Site Plan for compliance with the adopted ordinances and the Town of Westlake Comprehensive Plans. Although the applicant seeks approval of some variances, staff feels that the plans submitted meet or exceed the intent of the adopted ordinances and the Comprehensive Plans. Staff recommends approval as submitted subject to the comments in the staff report. RECOMMENDATION Staff report ATTACHMENTS: Site Plan Elevation exhibits 1 TOWN OF WESTLAKE, TX STAFF REPORT TO PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION & TOWN COUNCIL I. CASE INFORMATION Case No(s): SP- 11- 01- 2010 Date: 11/22/2010 Request: Applicant is requesting approval of a Planned Development Site Plan in order to construct a convenience store / gas station. Project Name: Quick Trip. Location: 2301 Hwy 377. Subject property is located in the Westlake Corners North subdivision, a triangular parcel at the Northwest corner of Hwy 170 and Hwy 377 in the PD 3-11 zoning district. The Western boundary of this land abuts the rail road tracks and Fort Worth city limits. The South and East boundaries abut Highway Right-of-way. The abutting property to the North is also zoned PD 3-11. Zoning: PD- 3-11 Proposed Use(s): Convenience Store and Gas station, both uses are allowed by right in this zoning district. II. STAFF REVIEW COMMENTS 1. Platting The preliminary and final plats have been approved and will be filed following the approval of this Site Plan. A minor adjustment to the plats will be necessary to accommodate some relocated parking spaces. These changes will be approved administratively by the Town Engineer. 2. Landscaping The applicant is proposing to provide the number of trees required by ordinance but is seeking a variance to allow them to place the trees some place other than in the Town Edge Landscape Zone. Some trees could be planted between the store and the rail road tracks to provide a visual and 2 sound buffer. The applicant has expressed interest in planting some trees off-site if the town has a need for landscaping along some new roadways. 3. Signs Monument signs . The monument signs proposed will require a variance. The ordinance allows monument signs for building less than 15,000 square feet to be a total of 50 square feet, including architectural features, with a sign face area of 20 square feet. The proposed signs are 60 square feet with 33.6 square feet faces. The signs will comply with all set back requirements. Based on the size and configuration of the property, the applicant desires to have two monument signs, one for each street frontage. Both signs are proposed to be the same size and configuration. Building façade signs . The signs on the building and the canopy are allowed to have an area equal to 6% of the façade areas. The proposed are 9% of the building façade. The maximum allowed sign square footage is 180, and the proposed is 361. It should be taken into consideration that the sign regulations for this zoning district were created from the perspective of each structure having a single street front. The proposed structure has two street frontages that the signage is being divided upon, and with the building being set back over 150 feet from the roadway significantly smaller signs would be ineffective. 4. Outdoor Lighting Plan While the applicant states that all luminaries will be shielded to comply with the Town’s outdoor lighting requirements as found in Section 102-207, they feel that it will be necessary for security purposes to illuminate the area under the canopy over the fuel pumps more than is allowed by ordinance. The ordinance provides that it is an authorized exception to exceed the lighting limitations for security or safety purposes. The applicant has shown that all luminaries will be recessed or shielded so as to mitigate glare and spill over lighting. 5. Building Articulation Vertical and horizontal articulation of the exterior facades is required to meet specific design criteria. The Proposed structure does not meet the design articulation criteria on all facades. 3 III. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS Staff recommends approval of the Planned Development Site Plan application with the following stipulations: 1. Outdoor lighting After the installation of the outdoor lighting the applicant must agree to adjust or shield any light fixture found to adversely impact neighboring properties or glare excessively as viewed from adjacent properties or right-of-ways.
