Kimball Avenue, Southlake, Texas. Current Zoning: "C-3" General Commercial District. Requested Zoning: S-P-1 Detailed Site Plan District. SPIN Neighborhood # 8. The applicant is requesting approval of a zoning change and site plan for the existing Lowe s Home Improvement Center in Southlake primarily to allow a reduction in required parking spaces along the south portion of the lot and to use this area for outside seasonal storage of merchandise generally between the months of February through October. In addition, the applicant is seeking approval to add screening walls along the front of the store to allow for outside storage. Additional screening through plant materials along the FM 1709 right of way is proposed (see Attachment C, pages 4 and 5). The proposed location of the screening walls along the store front and screening materials are found in Attachment C pages 6 and 7. A parking study was conducted and submitted by the applicant in support of the requested reduction. The study has been reviewed by Lee Engineering and it was determined that the reduction would not adversely affect parking demand. See pages 3-4 in Attachment E for full report.

Regional Retail as defined within Southlake 2030: The Retail Commercial category is a lower- to medium-intensity commercial category providing for neighborhood-type retail shopping facilities and general commercial support activities. It is intended to provide limited local retail and/or office uses which serve neighborhoods in close proximity. It is intended that all uses in this category will be compatible with adjacent single family uses, thereby maintaining the character and integrity of existing neighborhoods. This category is intended to encourage comprehensively planned developments. In areas where the Retail Commercial designation is adjacent to residentially zoned properties or areas with a residential designation on the Land Use Plan, lower intensity activities such as office or office-related uses should be planned adjacent to the residential uses. Other suitable activities are those permitted in the Public Parks/Open Space, Public/Semi-Public, and Office Commercial categories previously discussed.

Zoning Regulations presented to P&Z October 22, 2015 Lowes Southlake Proposed Permitted Uses and Development Regulations for SP-1 Zoning ZA15-104 Permitted Uses: This property is an existing home improvement store that was approved in 1999. It is one lot consisting of 14.7 acres and is currently zoned C-3. There is no proposal to change the C-3 use rather a request to zone the property SP-1 to allow for variances from the C-3 Zoning. Development Regulations: This property shall be subject to the development regulations for the C-3 General Commercial District, and all other applicable regulations with the following exceptions: Allow for a reduction in the parking requirements more fitted to home improvements centers. Attached Parking Study supports the request for lesser parking needs. Proposed parking requirement is 564 spaces. Lowe s corporate standard is 400 spaces. Allow for additional outside sales of various products beyond lawn care items along the store frontage through the use of screen walls. Allow for seasonal outside sales and storage in the 78 spaces in the south parking lot. Seasonal sales times are generally February through the end of October. Allow for impervious coverage and open space as shown on site plan and as previously approved. Use and Operation: Lowes relies heavily on the sale of merchandise that is visible upon entry to the store. At the contractor entrance screen walls will allow for the visibility to commonly used materials that contractors purchase daily. Along other areas in front of the store screen walls will allow for the display of seasonal specialty items that are either top sellers or close-out items. Most importantly is the visibility and ease of access to seasonal items such as mulch and compost that can be stored, sold and loaded in the south parking area. Additional plantings along Southlake Boulevard are proposed to screen the storage and sales in the south parking lot and are shown on the submitted landscape plan. Security for outside storage has not historically been a problem or concern for Lowes at this as well as their other locations. As an existing measure that area currently does have security camera.

FORUM SUMMARY: Property Situation: 201 N. Kimball Avenue Development Details: Lowes Southlake is requesting to add some screening walls in front of the store andreduce the paring requirements so that outside storage and sales can occur seasonally in the south parking area. Currently zoned C-3 General Commercial District to S-P-! Detailed Site Plan to allow outdoor storage and screening walls. The south parking lot has 77 parking spaces currently. Off-loading of seasonal products currently occurs in the rear east side of the building with limited storage space and conflicts with cars coming from Costco to the east via the cross access easement. Directly unloading at the south parking lot will reduce the conflict. 5-foot tall by 15-foot wide screening walls in front of the store will allow seasonal products such as grills to be located outside and in front of the store. A local parking study and a comparison parking demand study were conducted and shown on the slides. Additional landscape screening is proposed at the south parking lot along the entrance at FM 1709 to screen the outside storage. Attachment D ZA15-104 Page 1

Additional landscaping is proposed along the north property line and parking lot to fill in some gaps in the landscaping. Presentation: Attachment D ZA15-104 Page 2

QUESTIONS / CONCERNS: Will there still be traffic conflicts with the traffic from Costco along the south parking lot driveway? o The existing speed bumps and seasonal products in the parking lot will be traffic calming. There is a need to keep the products out of the fire lane. SPIN Meeting Reports are general observations of SPIN Meetings by City staff and SPIN Representatives.
