HEARING DATE: April 21, 2005 (Withdrawn from consideration March 17,2005) May 10, 2005 STAFF REP.: Gary L. Sieb, Planning Director LOCATION: Northwest corner of Beltline and Airline Roads. SIZE OF AREA: 16.8 acres of property CURRENT ZON1NG: LI (Light Industrial) REQUEST: Site Plan approval to allow the development of one 137,000-square- foot office/warehouse building and one 153,000-square-foot office/warehouse building. APPLICANT: Majestic Realty 5000 Quorum Dr. Suite 100 Dallas, TX. 75254 (972) 726-0700 Fax: (972) 726-0710 Architect: Hardy McCullah/MLM 12221 Merit Dr. #280 Dallas, TX. 75251 (972) 385-1900 Fax: (972) 385-1937 HISTORY: Although there has been no recent development history on the subject tract, there have been a number of proposed development schemes presented over the last ten years or so. All proposals have suggested industrial use and fit into the general-use category outlined and recommended by the Comprehensive Plan. The applicant requested that this case be withdrawn from the March hearing Item#4 Page 1 of 3 TRANSPORTATION: because of concerns with stafPs position that access be provided to the property to the north through a mutual access/fire lane easement. Beltline Road is a P6D six-lane divided major thoroughfare built to standard in a 120-foot right-of-way. Airline Road is a paved, concrete two-way street built within a 60-foot right-of-way. SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING: North - vacant; LI (Light Industrial) South - office/warehousing; LI (Light Industrial) East - auto parts, gas station, oil/lube shop; C (Cornmemial) West - warehousing; LI (Light Industrial) COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Cbmprehensive Plan of May 1996 shows the property as suitable for warehousing. DISCUSSION: This property is one of the last parcels immediately adjacent to Beltline Road to be developed. Over the years there have been any number of proposals for its use~all warehousing--but none were carried out to development. The proposal before you this evening proposes two warehouse buildings, one of 153,000-square feet adjacent to Beltline Road and a second building immediately west at 137,000-square feet, to be built on this almost 17-acre site. Because of its proximity to Beltline Road and the fact that Beltline/Denton Tap is a primary image zone, it is very important that the design of these buildings reflect the high standard created by the existing development. This plan retains much of the streetscape along both Beltline and Airline. It respects the architectural feature existing at the comer of Beltline and Airline and provides needed interest in the long facades through the design of vision glass, multiple entrances and a varying building footprint across the frontages and sides of these two buildings. Detailing also includes the addition of accent squares at the entrances of the buildings and stone veneer colunms at these same entrances. The Landscape Plan meets our requirements, and masonry walls on both the south and north property lines physically screen the interior service area. The height of these walls is 10 feet at finished floor level, thus screening the concrete truck courts from the exterior of the site. With regard to the north screening wall, it cannot interfere with a 72-inch storm drain located in a 30- Item# 4 Page 2 of 3 foot utility/drainage easement, all along the north property line. A condition contained within the Replat of this property (which follows this Site Plan review), specifies where the screening wall can be located and not interfere with our easements. The Site Plan reflects that general location. We have also included a condition regarding the construction of a new 16"-water line scheduled for construction in mid-2005. With the applicant acknowledging these conditions, we can support this request. Just prior to the Planning Commission meeting of March 17, we received correspondence from the applicant asking that this case be withdrawn and resubmitted for the April hearing. The reason for the withdrawal related to a staff position that a mutual 24-foot access/fire lane easement be provided on the north end of this property. Although both the Site Plan and Replat documents showed this easement and all conversations with the applicant prior to the day of the Planning Commission hearing had been mutually agreeable, upon re-review, the applicant no longer agreed and requested its elimination. The resubmittal package eliminates the common access easement. Staff feels this easement is needed, and strongly recommends that it be a condition of approval of both the Site Plan and Replat. RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION: Staff recommends APPROVAL of this request subject to the following conditions: 1) Relocate fire hydrant on north side of building 'A" to a landscape island. 2) Obtain permission from property owner to the west to connect into that owner's fire line. 3) Abide by departmental comments (Fire and Engineering). 4) Inclusion of the 24-foot mutual access/fire lane easement to the property to the north. ALTERNATIVES 1) 2) 3) 4) Recommend approval of the request Recommend disapproval of the request Recommend modification of the request Take under advisement for reconsideration at a later date.
