Strategic Initiative Outside the Scope of Identified Strategic Initiatives Time Line - Start Date: January 4, 2016 Completion Date: January 25, 2016 Funding Amount: 00.00 Status - ® Not Funded Source - N/A EXECUTIVE SUMMARY(INCLUDING APPLICABLE ORGANIZATIONAL HISTORY) This property, located along the east side of Pearson Road,was the infamous kennel site that generated frequent noise complaints over the past several years. The property's unincorporated status (the former property owner successfully defeated Town attempts to annex the parcel)had limited the Town's ability to regulate use and development. However, ownership of the property recently changed hands, and the new owner requested voluntary annexation. The Westlake Town Council subsequently voted to annex the property at their December 14, 2015 meeting. Per Chapter 102, Section 102-37 of the Westlake Code of Ordinances, the Town must zone the annexed property at the time of or directly following annexation(within 60 days). The property is surrounded on three sides by Country Residential District (R-5) zoned property within the Town of Westlake and the applicant's zoning application requests that this property be zoned R-5 as well. Chapter 102 of the Code of Ordinances defines the R-5 district as "single- family dwellings on lots measuring a minimum of five acres (217,800 square feet) excluding all required public dedications, including but not limited to rights-of-way, parks, and open spaces. Country residential districts are intended to provide an opportunity for rural character residential development." The applicant purchased this property with plans to ultimately construct an estate home. This intended use comports with the Land Use Plan element of the Comprehensive Plan, which defines the area surrounding this property as Pastoral Community, a use that stresses "compatibility with existing high-end residential development" and lots "generally an acre or larger." Annexation and rezoning of this property will also help mitigate home value encroachment, a major objective identified in the Housing Plan element of the Comprehensive Plan. The applicant has removed the buildings used for kennel operations, leaving only two single- family dwellings on the property. These two homes will be used as rental properties until both parcels are platted into a single 5.28 acre lot. Note that per the Petition for Annexation(see attached) the owner certifies that"the land is used for single family use, and my plans are to continue that use." Further, minimum lot size requirements of the R-5 zoning district preclude the issuance of any building permits until the property is platted into a single lot (Westlake Code of Ordinances, Chapter 102, Article Il, Sections 102-33 and 102-34). Language contained in the Petition for Annexation and the zoning type requested, along with the timely approval of the applicant's zoning request, will prevent the property from reverting to an undesirable use. The property currently receives water service from the City of Keller, and may continue doing so until the property is platted. Per the Service Plan (see attached) approved as part of the voluntary annexation process, a determination as to how and when the property will be connected the Town of Westlake water system will be made at the time of platting. Sewer is provided by an on-site septic system, and per the adopted Service Plan may continue in use until a sanitary sewer main is extended to within the minimum distance from the property that would trigger a required connection. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of this zoning request. ATTACHMENTS 1. Site Map 2. Petition for Annexation 3.

WASTE WATER FACLITIES The Town Council of the Town of Westlake, Texas has determined that the area is currently being served by an on-site sanitary sewer system and may continue to be served by such until a sanitary sewer main is extended to within the minimum distance from the property that would trigger a required connection. 5. ROADS AND STREETS Maintenance of properly dedicated roads and streets will be consistent with the maintenance provided by the Town to other roads and streets in areas of similar topography, land use, and sub-development of the annexed territory. Developers will be required pursuant to the ordinances of the Town of Westlake, Texas, to provide internal and peripheral streets and to construct those streets in accordance with the specifications required by the Town of Westlake, Texas for the properly dedicated street. Town participation in capital expenditures will be in accordance with Town policies. SPECIFIC FINDINGS The Town Council of the Town of Westlake, Texas finds and determines that this proposed Service Plan will not provide fewer services, and it will not provide a lower level of service in the area proposed to be annexed than were in existence in the proposed area at the time immediately preceding the annexation process. Ordinance 758 Because of the differing characteristics of topography, land utilization and population density, the service levels which may ultimately be provided in the newly annexed area may differ somewhat from services provided other areas of the Town of Westlake, Texas. These differences are specifically dictated because of differing characteristics of the property and the Town of Westlake, Texas will undertake to perform consistent with this Service Plan so as to provide the newly annexed area with the same type, kind and quality of service presently enjoyed by the citizens of the Town of Westlake, Texas who reside in areas of similar topography, land utilization and population.

Zoning ordinances typically provide for two types of uses — uses by right and by special exception, i.e. special / conditional use permits. The uses that are permitted by right are those which are allowed without additional approvals being required. For the purpose of Westlake, we use the term Special Use Permit. SUP's may be permitted within a zoning district; however, the Page 1 of 4 use is conditional and not granted automatically (or entitled) like a use by right. SUP's require additional public hearings and scrutiny—meaning the approval is discretionary. That being said, if certain stipulated conditions are met, the municipality may grant the permit after review by the Planning&Zoning Committee and the Town Council. The Town Council may, in the interest of the public welfare, and to ensure compliance with this ordinance, establish conditions of operation, location, arrangement, and construction of any authorized Specific Use. In approving any Specific Use, the council may impose such development standards and safeguards as conditions warrant for the welfare and protection of adjacent properties and citizenry as a whole as it may be affected by this use. The Council shall not grant an SUP for a particular use except upon a finding that the use will: a. Complement or be compatible with the surrounding uses and community facilities; b. Contribute to, enhance or promote the welfare of the area affected by the SUP and adjacent properties; c. Not be detrimental to the public health, safety or general welfare; and d. Conform in all other respects to all applicable zoning regulations and standards. A Concept Plan, Development Plan, PD Site Plan and Final Plat relating to this project have all been previously approved by the Town Council. The approval of this Specific Use Permit does not conflict with any previous approvals. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of the Specific Use Permit as requested by the applicant.

Page 2 of 4 estlake Planning and Zoning Commission TYPE OF ACTION Regular Meeting - Action Item Monday, January 04, 2016 TOPIC: Conduct a Public Hearing and Consider a Recommendation Regarding an Amendment of Ordinance 691, Amending the Development Regulations Applicable to the PD 1 Zoning District, Planning Area 1 (PD 1-1), Restoring a 500 foot, Previously Existing Setback in the Areas Adjacent to a Residential Neighborhood. STAFF CONTACT: Eddie Edwards, Director of Planning and Development Stratellic Alignment Vision,Value, Mission Perspective Strategic Theme & Results Outcome Objective Planned/Responsible Citizen, Student& Natural Oasis-Preserve& Preserve Desirability Development Stakeholder Maintain a Perfect Blend of the &Quality of Life Community's Natural Beauty Strategic Initiative Tree Preservation/Reforestation Time Line- Start Date: January 4, 2016 Completion Date: January 25, 2016 Funding Amount: 00.00 Status - ® N/A Source -N/A EXECUTIVE SUMMARY (INCLUDING APPLICABLE ORGANIZATIONAL HISTORY) On January 7, 2013, Ordinance 691 created three Planning Areas within the PD 1 Zoning District: PD 1-1 (Solana), PD 1-2 (Entrada), and PD 1-3 (Granada). The ordinance was passed with a section stating that the building setback from any residentially zoned area shall be 500 feet for the areas described in exhibits "A-1" and"A-2" (Entrada and Granada). However, the section was intended to require the 500 foot setback from all residentially zoned areas except for the areas described in"A-1" and"A-2." The intent was to preserve the 500 foot building setback, originally established by Ordinance 202, for the areas of PD 1-1 adjacent to residential neighborhoods including the Glenwyck Farms, Terra Bella, and Carlyle subdivisions, but excluding the Entrada and Grenada developments. Our rationale was that Entrada, being a mixed-use development, does not need a setback separating commercial uses from residential uses, and Granada would receive adequate separation via the 60 foot open space between the lots and the PD 1-1 area, combined with the setback resulting from the "Residential Slope"regulation that requires commercial buildings to be set back five-feet from residential property for every one-foot in building height, as measured from the ground height of the residential property. For example an 80 foot tall building would require a 400 foot setback(80X5=400)plus the 60 foot open space. Higher ground at the commercial building site results in either a shorter building or greater setback, and low ground allows for taller buildings or lesser setbacks. Town staff has been working with PDl-1 owner representatives on an amendment to Ordinance 691 for many months to address issues related to multiple ownerships within the Planning Area, and has always taken the position that the aforementioned section would be corrected with the next amendment. What was not anticipated by Town staff was that so much time would pass before their amendment would be applied for. Now lots in Granada have been sold with the purchasers believing that the 500 foot building setback applies to their properties. Depending on building height, there may not be any difference in the setbacks, but concern over the unknown is only natural. Therefore, the proposed amendment to Ordinance 691 will restore the 500 foot building setback for all areas of PD 1-1 adjacent to residential property, except for PD 1-2 (Entrada). Town staff is taking this opportunity to propose amendments to several sections of the ordinance that we feel should be modified(see attached staff report). The proposed amendments will not only correct the previous error but will clarify the Town's position on several sections within the ordinance. This will provide more predictability to the current and future owners of all affected properties. Please note that this Town initiated amendment is limited to specific development regulations that the Town wishes to clarify and does not change the Permitted Uses or allowed density within PD 1-1. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of the restoration of the 500 ft. setback. ATTACHMENTS 1. Staff Report 2. Letter of Protest regarding Amendment of Ordinance 691 3. Letter of Support regarding Amendment of Ordinance 691 yy t 5 TOWN OF WESTLAKE, TX STAFF REPORT REGARDING AMENDMENT TO ORDINANCE 691, RELATING TO THE DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS OF THE PD 1-1 PLANNING AREA. Date: 12-22-2015 Request: Review and Recommendation of Ordinance XXX, amending ordinance 691, regulating the PD 1-1 Planning Area. Agenda Item: Conduct a Public Hearing and Consider a Recommendation Regarding approval of Ordinance XXX, an ordinance amending Ordinance 691, to correct and clarify development regulations related to the PD 1-1 Planning Area, commonly known as Solana. CASE INFORMATION Development Name: Solana. Location: The property is generally located south of Highway 114, extending from Davis Blvd. eastward to the town border, bounded by the Granada subdivision to the west, and the Glenwyck Farms, Carlyle, and Terra Bella subdivisions to the south. The PD 1 Zoning District (PD 1) is comprised of three sub-areas called Planning Areas, including PD 1-1 (Solana), PD 1-2 (Entrada Mixed-Use Development), and PD 1-3 (Granada Mixed-Use Development). Summary: This Town initiated amendment is limited to specific development regulations that the Town wishes to clarify and does not change the Permitted Uses or allowed density within the development. This amendment will include language to restore a previously existing 500 foot building setback from certain residential properties located adjacent to the PD1-1 Planning Area. In addition, the application of density regulations to specific Planning Areas is clarified. This amendment provides predictability for all affected stakeholders and further aligns existing ordinances with the recently adopted comprehensive plan. Owner: The Planning Area includes multiple properties and owners. Applicant: This is a Town initiated amendment. Developer: N/A Site Size: 251. 757 acres Page 1 of 8 I. Chronology of the PD 1 Zoning District and the PD 1-1 Planning Area November 1992- Ordinance 202 created PD 1, and included a 500 foot building setback from residential property. Note that a building setback is not an open space or landscape buffer; vertical structures are not permitted within this type of setback, but a parking lot would be permitted. March 2008 — Ord 588 amended PD 1 to adjust the PD1 boundary when land was acquired for the right-of-way needed for the realignment and widening of FM 1938 (Davis Blvd), and to address other PD Site Plan issues. The amendment also added an exhibit "A" to the 500 foot setback language. January 2013 — Ord 691 amended PD 1 to create three Planning Areas: PD1- 1(Solana), PD 1-2 (Entrada), and PD 1-3 (Granada). Exhibit "A" from Ord 588 was determined to have not appropriately described the property north of Glenwyck Farms, which was the target area of the 500 foot building setback, and the ordinance was reworded to require a 500 foot building setback from any residential properties except for properties in Planning Areas PD 1-2 (Entrada) and PD 1-3 (Granada). This language was intended to exclude the areas described in exhibits A-1 and A-2, (PD1-2 and PD 1-3 respectively) from the 500 foot building setback. However, the word "except" was unintentionally deleted from the final ordinance text, as highlighted below: Intended text of Part 11, Section 4 of Ordinance 691: Section 4. Dimensional standards and requirements. The following dimensional standards and requirements shall apply: A. The minimum required lot area shall be five (5) acres, with the exception of Lot 1R2 of Block 2 of Westlake/Southlake Park Addition No. 1. which shall measure 1.722 acres (before right of way dedication). Exception: Property containing existing buildings may be re-platted into lots of less than five acres B. The maximum percent of PD to be occupied by (i) principal use buildings shall be ten percent (10%) of the land area (as defined below), excluding court yards, atria, etc. not enclosed within the buildings. Parking garages shall not be included in the calculation of density or site coverage. For these purposes PD 1 shall be deemed to have 436.077 acres of land area which is its original acreage before donations for roadways except for right of way within PD donated for SH114. Planning Area 1 shall be deemed to be 251.757 acres. Planning Area 2 shall be deemed to be 92.08 acres. Planning Area 3 shall be deemed to be 92.24 acres. Page 2 of 8 C. The minimum size of any front, side or rear yard for principal and accessory use buildings, with the exception of Lot 1 R2 of Block 2 of Westlake/Southlake Park Addition No.1. shall be: 1. One hundred (100) feet from any public road, street or highway, except for the building located immediately adjacent to the intersection of Sam School Road and Solana Boulevard, for which building the setback shall be eighty (80) feet; 2. The minimum setback from State Highway 114 shall be two hundred 200) feet; 3. Five hundred (500) feet from any residentially zoned area except for the areas described in exhibits "A 4"and "A -2"y- 4. In accordance with Section 102- 124(b)(2)(b) of the Zoning Ordinance contained in the Code of Ordinances for the property described in Exhibits 'A 4"and "A -2 or 5. Otherwise setbacks shall be one hundred (100) feet for side yards. Setbacks shall be one hundred (100) feet for rear yards. Exception: Property containing existing buildings may be re-platted into lots with less than 100 feet of setbacks. Q2 2015 to Q1 of 2016 — The omission of the word "except" was planned for correction along with other clarifications/corrections as they were identified or submitted. The new owners of PD1-1 desire to create multiple Planning Areas within the current PD 1-1 Planning Area. There are multiple land owners within this area but some PD regulations pertain to a ratio of the entire Zoning District or Planning Area. This could allow one property owner to develop a greater percentage of his land, than would be allowed if calculated independently, and this would force the other property owners to compensate by developing less area. Page 3 of 8 II. Proposed amendments to Ordinance 691, highlighted, and their effect on future development within the PD 1 Zoning District and the PD 1-1 Planning Area: A. Text to be inserted in the Caption, Preamble, and Part II of Ordinance 691: 1. Text to be inserted in the Ordinance Caption (highlighted): AN ORDINANCE OF THE TOWN OF WESTLAKE, TEXAS, AMENDING ORDINANCE 691, BY AMENDING THE DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS FOR THE PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT NO. 1, PLANNING AREA 1 ("PD1- 1"); PROVIDING FOR INTERPRETATION, PURPOSE AND CONFLICT; PROVIDING A SEVERABLITY CLAUSE; PROVIDING A PENAL CLAUSE; AND MAKING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. 2. Text to be inserted in the Preamble (highlighted): WHEREAS, Ordinance No. 200, as amended, the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance for the Town of Westlake, was amended by ordinance 691, and WHEREAS, there were found to be provisions that needed clarification in the amending ordinance 691; and WHEREAS, Planning Area 2 (PD 1-2) is now regulated by Ordinance 703; and WHEREAS, Planning Area 3 (PD 1-3) is now regulated by Ordinance 693; and 3. Text to be inserted in Part II of the body of the proposed Ordinance (highlighted): Section 1. Planning Areas. The PD1 Zoning District is hereby divided into three distinct planning areas. These planning areas are to be referred to as Planning Area 1 (PD1-1), Planning Area 2 (PD1-2), and Planning Area 3 (PD1- 3). The planning areas are described in Exhibits "PD1-1", "PD1-2", and "PD1-3". Section 2. Planning Area 2 (PD1-2) shall be regulated by ordinance 703, as amended. Section 3. Planning Area 3 (PD1-3) shall be regulated by ordinance 693, as amended. Section 4. Planning Area 1 (PD1-1) shall be regulated by the following sections of this ordinance and the Town of Westlake Code of Ordinances. Page 4 of 8 Note that Part II, Sections 2, 3, and 4 in the existing Ordinance become Sections 5, 6, and 7 in the proposed Ordinance. Effect of changes: The inserted text limits the regulations specified in Ordinance 691 to the PD 1-1 Planning Area only, clarifying that the 10% limit for land area coverage by Principal Use Buildings contained in Section 4B of existing Ordinance 691 applies only to the PD 1-1 Planning Area. PD 1-2 (Entrada) and PD 1-3 (Granada) both received differing regulations when they were effectively rezoned by separate ordinances. B. Amendments to Part II, Section 7A (Section 4A in existing Ordinance 691): Section 7. Dimensional standards and requirements. The following dimensional standards and requirements shall apply: A. The minimum required lot area shall be five (5) acres, with the exception of Lot 1 R2 of Block 2 of Westlake/Southlake Park Addition No. 1, which shall measure 1.722 Acres (before right-of-way dedication). Exception: Property containing existing buildings may be re-platted into lots of less than five acres if approved as part of a PD Site Plan approval. Effect of changes: 1. Clarifying that the minimum required lot area is five acres. 2. The intent of the exception, which was added with the passage of Ordinance 691, was to allow the property owner the ability to re-plat property containing an existing building that could not comply with the minimum lot size requirements due to the proximity of other buildings on the property. This would allow for a fee simple real estate transaction as opposed to forcing a condominium or other type transaction. Staff has subsequently determined that the selling of portions of a property, that is part of a property that was developed with an approved PD Site Plan, may need closer scrutiny and possible approval by the approving boards or commissions prior to breaking up the property. For example: Cross access easements, shared parking agreements, percentage of coverage by Principal Use Buildings, open space or parkland dedication and trail requirements, etc.. Page 5 of 8 C. Amendments to Part II, Section X (Section 4C in existing Ordinance 691): A. The minimum size of any front, side or rear yard for principal and accessory use buildings, with the exception of Lot 1 R2 of Block 2 of Westlake/Southlake Park Addition No. 1, shall be: 1. One hundred (100) feet from any public road, street or highway, except for the building located immediately adjacent to the intersection of Sam School Road and Solana Boulevard, (southeast corner) for which building the setback shall be eighty (80) feet; 2. Two hundred (200) feet from The minimum sothaGk from State Highway 114. shall be two hi Rdred (200) feet-, 3. Five hundred (500) feet from any adjacent residentially zoned lot area for the area i-I bed on rexhibit " an�Jp `Ac except for residential lots located in PD 1-2, which is a mixed-use development; or 4 in—aGGOrdanGe with the Section 102 124(b)(2)(b) of the Zoning nrdinanGe Gentain ed on the Code of OrdinanGes for the property deSGribed in Exhibitr and "2"; or 4. Otherwise setbacks shall be one hundred (100) feet for side yards and rear yards. Setha„Us shall be one hundred (100) foot for roar yards Effect of changes: a. Paragraph 1. Clarifying that the exception is intended to apply only to the existing building located on the southeast corner and not to any other property adjacent to the intersection. b. Paragraph 3. Clarifying that a 500 foot setback is required from adjacent residential lots other than those lots within the PD 1-2 (Westlake Entrada development) Planning Area. c. Paragraph 4. Deleted. The referenced Code of Ordinance Section applies to all commercial districts located near a residential lot. This is referring to the "Residential Slope or 5:1 building setback to building height ratio." Citing code sections within an ordinance is not considered a good practice since there are no controls to assure that if the code section being referred to gets renumbered or relocated within the code, that the ordinances referencing the code section will also get amended. d. Paragraph 4. (new #4, previous #5) The intent of the exception, which was added with the passage of Ordinance 691, was to allow the property owner the ability to re- plat property containing an existing building that could not comply with the minimum Page 6 of 8 set back requirements due to the proximity of other buildings on the property. This would allow for a fee simple real estate transaction as opposed to forcing a condominium or other type transaction. Staff has subsequently determined that the selling of portions of a property, that is part of a property that was developed with an approved PD Site Plan, may need closer scrutiny and possible approval by the approving boards or commissions prior to breaking up the property. For example: Building wall fire rating requirements based on proximity to property lines, cross access easements, shared parking agreements, percentage of coverage by Principal Use Buildings, open space or parkland dedication and trail requirements, etc.. D. Other changes are included to remove unnecessary references to the PD 1 Zoning District or Planning Areas PD 1-2 and PD 1-3. III.What is not changing: A. Permitted Uses: The Permitted Uses for this property are not being changed but are listed below for informational purposes: Principal Uses Permitted. No building, structure or premises shall be used other than for the following purposes, together with the ancillary and accessory uses specified in Section 3: A. Office buildings for business and professional use, including, but not limited to, administrative, executive, engineering, accounting, scientific research and development, educational, marketing, information processing, computers, statistical and financial purposes, provided such use shall not involve any machinery or process which pollutes the environment, including without limitation those which emit dust, smoke, odor, fumes, noise, vibrations or the like; B. Educational facilities and temporary accommodations for employees, customers and visitors to such educational facilities; C. Hotel and conferencing facilities; D. Retail uses including but not limited to, medical and dental clinics, cafeterias, restaurants, travel agencies, banks and other financial institutions, hair salons, jewelry stores, child care centers, dry cleaners, and other uses permitted under the retail category of the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance of 1992, as amended; E. Institutional and Governmental Uses; and F. Sports and health club. Page 7 of 8 B. Permitted Uses within the 500 foot building setback: No changes are proposed with this amending ordinance. Part II, Section 4C of the original text states that "The minimum size of any front, side or rear yard for principal and accessory use buildings..." Staff has interpreted this to apply to principal and accessory use buildings only. A parking lot is not considered a building. However, parking lots do have numerous regulations relative to screening and landscaping that greatly influence where they are placed. IV. Alignment with the Comprehensive Plan Reinstalling the 500 foot building setback moves the Town closer to the intent of the recently adopted Comprehensive Plan, which shows the area covered by the 500' setback as open space (shown on page 167 of the Comprehensive Plan). Note that the property owner has the option to satisfy much of the open space requirements for PD 1- 1 by dedicating the acreage within the building setback as open space, but has chosen not to exercise this option.

Background BRE Solana LLC acquired this property in August 2014 with Ordinance 691 in place to govern the area known as PD 1-1. There are different setback provisions in Ordinance 691 consisting of generally 100 feet from most areas and 200 feet from State Highway 114 (Section 4. C. 1, 2, 5). Section 4. C. 3. states the setback is 500 feet from any residentially zoned areas for the area described in exhibit"A-1"and exhibit "A-2". Exhibit A-1 is the land on which Entrada is being developed and exhibit A-2 is the land on which Granada is being developed. BRE Solana LLC does not own any land referenced in these exhibits. Ordinance 691 amended Ordinance 588 (which amended Ordinance 202). The applicable section in Ordinance 588 that references a 500 foot setback is Section 4. C. 2. where it is written exactly the same as Section 4. C. 3. of Ordinance 691 except that it references the area described in Exhibit "A". Exhibit A in this case references the entire Solana project pre-disposition of the Granada and Entrada tracts. Among other changes, it appears the intent of changing the reference to the exhibits was to reduce the land area that the 500-foot setback referred to. It is important to remember that Ordinance 691 went into effect in January 2013, 22 months prior to our acquisition. Update Our primary focus since the August 2014 acquisition has been executing the redevelopment plan to improve the Solana Business Park and subsequently lease office space. There are currently no plans whatsoever to develop the undeveloped Solana land in the near term. It is also unlikely that BRE Solana LLC will directly participate in a development- it will most likely dispose of the land to a developer or end user. We understand that the Town of Westlake staff believes that Section 4. C. 3. in Ordinance 691 was a mistake and has been approached by Westlake residents regarding such. In good faith, we have met with Town staff as well as with Colin Stevenson and Neil McNabnay of Glenwyck Farms to discuss a mutually beneficial solution that would compensate Solana for the negative impact to our land of having this extensive additional setback imposed while also providing adjacent property owners with the views they desire. It is clear that the Glenwyck Farms residents enjoy the natural setting that our land provides and wish to retain that setting as viewed from their backyards. The 500 foot building setback, if it were to be imposed on us with this amendment, does not guarantee that setting, because a developer could build a parking lot within the setback area as long as a structure was not developed within 500 feet (as confirmed multiple times by Town staff and the Town attorney). We believe that a far superior solution exists that would preserve the views that Glenwyck residents desire, while also offsetting any of the significant and unanticipated loss in value to us that a new setback or buffer would create. We attempted to schedule a site visit to discuss this greenbelt with Colin and Neil prior to the January 4 P&Z meeting but were unable to do so because of holiday schedules. Both sides are interested in exploring options to determine if there is a mutually satisfactory solution with respect to the property. We have agreed to meet in late January or early February to initiate that process. We have also met with the Town of Westlake to discuss the most appropriate ways to compensate BRE Solana LLC for the severe loss in value on the land should new setbacks be instituted. Summary We are proud of the Solana redevelopment effort to date and appreciate the Town of Westlake's support. We believe that the completed redevelopment will generate significant revenue for the Town of Westlake. We acquired this property with specific zoning that was put in place prior to our ownership. Changing the setback will reduce the value of the undeveloped land,and as fiduciaries for numerous public pension plans and institutional investors, this is not something that we can agree to without mitigation that the Town of Westlake can provide. That being said, it is our sincere desire to work in good faith with the Town of Westlake and with our neighbors on a solution that we believe could be more favorable to our neighbors than what the requested change to Ordinance 691 contemplates. Therefore, we respectfully object/protest to the amendment proposed under 2-12- 15-15 AND request a continuance of the amendment discussion/vote until March so we can continue negotiating with the Town and with our neighbors in good faith towards a mutually beneficial solution for all parties. Best regards, Brian Driesse Representative of BRE Solana LLC Cc: Payton Mayes email: December 23, 2015 Town of Westlake Planning and Zoning Commission 3 Village Circle, Suite 202 Westlake,TX 76262 RE: Z-12-15-15 Zoning Change, Amending Ordinance 691 Dear Planning and Zoning Commissioners: I live at 1825 Broken Bend Drive in Glenwyck Farms (our property borders PD1-1 to the north and east) and I've recently purchased Lot 78 in Granada (2018 Valencia Cove which borders PD1-1 to the east) and intend to move there once our new home is built. I'm writing you because I will be out of the country on January 4th and unable to attend the January 4th P&Z meeting. As such, my wife, Erin, and I request that the following be read into public record. We urge the P&Z to amend Ordinance 691 to provide a minimum 500 foot building setback within the PD1-1 Planning Area from ALL residential properties located within the Glenwyck Farms,Terra Bella, Carlyle developments AND from all residential properties located along the eastern border of the Granada developments. As I understand it,when Ordinance 691 was drafted the 500 foot setback restriction was mistakenly removed from all areas adjacent to PD1-1 except the newly formed residential development known as Granada;whereas the intention was to maintain the setback restriction in all areas except Granada. It's unclear to me when the city became aware of this conflict but it appears to have been roughly 18 months ago. Nevertheless, what is clear is that the city actively chose to remain silent on its intent to modify the ordinance until very recently. In the meantime, the lots along the eastern border of Granada were developed, marketed, and sold with the express added value of the 500 foot setback restriction as evidenced in Ordinance 691.As you can imagine, eliminating the 500 foot setback restriction from PD1- 1 now,as it relates to those lots within Granada,would be problematic for all parties, including the city of Westlake. Take my situation as an example. On 10/26/15 my wife and I entered into a contract with Simmons Estate Homes to purchase Lot 78 in Granada. We selected Lot 78 solely on the basis that it's eastern border was protected by the same 500 foot setback restriction that we've enjoyed for 12+years in Glenwyck Farms. Then, on Friday, 11/13/15, four days before we were scheduled to close escrow on the lot, I heard a rumor that the 500 foot setback did not apply to Granada. I immediately contacted Simmons Estate Homes and advised Scott Simmons of that rumor and asked him to provided confirmation that the 500 foot setback was in fact in place and enforceable. Scott was unaware of any such rumor. He promptly contacted the city of Westlake and then forwarded me a copy of Ordinance 691 pointing to Part II, Section 4, C.3 as affirmative evidence that the 500 foot setback was in fact in place and enforceable. The city made no mention of any pending action or intention to change the setback protection. Based on that we proceeded with our escrow closing and purchased Lot 78. Had the city acted on, or declared, its original intention to modify Ordinance 691 and remove the 500 foot setback protection from the Granada development we would never have considered purchasing Lot 78. At this point, I'm not certain what the legal ramifications are should the city now decide to remove the 500 foot setback protection from the Granada properties but it seems reasonable to me that the cities prolonged and continued silence creates a condition of liability on its part should it now choose to remove the 500 foot setback protection from the Granada properties. To that point, at the 11/18/15 Westlake town hall meeting in Glenwyck Farms Westlake city officials initially proposed that the solution to this conflict was to simply remove the 500 setback protection from Granada and reinstate it for Glenwyck,Terra Bella, and Carlyle. I pointed out that,while I agree completely with the need to reinstate the 500 foot setback protection for Glenwyck, Terra Bella, and Carlyle, removing the 500 foot setback protection from Granada would be an untenable solution and a serious hardship for Granada property owners that would likely lead to legal action on their behalf. After further discussion, Eddie Edwards, Westlake Director of Planning & Development, indicated that the proper and preferable solution would be to extend the 500 foot setback requirement to include all residential properties located within the Glenwyck Farms, Terra Bella, Carlyle developments, AND all properties along the eastern border of the Granada development. Mr. Edwards' solution is the right answer, and frankly it's the only reasonable solution for all parties given the circumstance outlined above. I urge your support of this solution as the permanent path forward. Sincerely, 0. acL� Patrick A.
