OF TRACT 1, ELIZA ANN CROSS SURVEY, ABSTRACT 281; A PORTION OF
LOTS 27 AND 28, AND LOTS 29-32, BLOCK 1, W.E. ODELL ADDITION.
(CONTINUED FROM JUNE 12 CITY COUNCIL MEETING)
APPROVED
Mayor Trevino announced the public hearings for items C.1 and C.2 were opened at the
June 12 City Council meeting. Staff will provide a joint presentation for items C.1 and C.2
and City Council will take separate action on each item.
Director of Planning Clayton Comstock informed City Council the applicant is requesting
a zoning change for property located at 6900 Davis Boulevard, 8205-8217 Odell Street
and 6900-7100 Davis Boulevard. The property located at the northeast corner of Davis
Boulevard and Odell Street is proposed to be transit oriented development with a special
development plan. The companion item, C.2, is proposing a zoning change of R-PD,
residential planned development, for 6900-7100 Davis Boulevard to construct a 63-lot
single-family residential development. Mr. Comstock provided site photos of the property.
The area is designated on the Comprehensive Land Use Plan as medium density
residential. This designation provides for attached dwelling units, such as duplexes,
townhomes, and higher density detached dwelling units with zero lot line patio/cottage
homes.
Applicant representative Curtis Young with the Sage Group, located at 1130 North Carroll
Avenue, Suite 200, Southlake, Texas, presented the request. Mr. Young informed City
Council they listened to the comments and suggestions from the 2020 zoning application
that was denied for the same parcel. The proposed development provides for 63
single-family detached lots that are 50-feet wide. The development includes a 20-foot
buffer along the eastern boundary that is heavily populated with trees, which will remain
undisturbed. Retaining walls along this eastern boundary will be constructed to ensure
drainage flows to the front of the lots. The development standards includes language to
address the addition of trees, if needed, along the 20-foot buffer. The development
includes two open space areas and a connection to Brookhaven Drive. Mr. Young
shared that if needed, they are open to providing a gate, if the city does not want the
connection to Brookhaven Drive. He shared that they have discussed the drainage with
staff for the natural area located on the southern boundary of the property. The area will
most likely be designated as a jurisdictional stream by the Army Corps of Engineers, and
a standard graded drainage channel with concrete does not comply with their
June 26, 2023
City Council Meeting Minutes
Page 5 of 17
requirements. They visited with staff and propose to remove the underbrush and items
from the stream so the drainage flows freely to the concrete channel. The natural channel
will be cleaned by removing dead/hazardous trees and underbrush and pruning trees.
The homeowner association will be responsible for removing debris from the channel,
mowing the edges adjacent to the street, pruning trees to a healthy height, and spraying
for mosquitoes.
City Council and the applicant discussed the street connection to Brookhaven Drive, the
homeowner association's agreement to include responsibility for the landscape
right-of-way, cleaning of the natural channel and maintenance the 20-foot buffer.
Mr. Comstock presented staffs report. The concept plan for item C.2 includes 16.54
acres with 63 residential lots and 3.58 acres of open space. The landscape plan provides
for 3.58 acres of open space; seven open space lots; a landscape buffer adjacent to
Stonybrooke lots; Davis Boulevard street trees (one tree per 50 feet); internal street trees
(one tree per lot); and internal lot trees with a minimum of one large tree and one
ornamental tree per lot. The development plan includes a six-foot masonry wall along
Davis Boulevard, an ornamental metal fence adjacent to open space areas, and an
eight-foot cedar fence along the eastern boundary adjacent to the existing neighborhood.
Mr. Comstock reviewed the building designs standards, drainage channel design, tree
preservation, removal, and mitigation and the existing inoperable gate at the connection
to Brookhaven Drive. The companion item, C.1, is a special development plan for 2.42
acres that currently has 1.72 acres (fronting Odell Street) zoned as transit oriented
development (TOD). The remaining 0.70 acres is proposed for a zoning change from C-1
(commercial) to TOD to expand the existing TOD boundary north to align with a planned
street in the development. The Planning and Zoning Commission held two public hearings
on May 18 and June 1, 2023, and recommended approval with a vote of 5-0.
City Council and staff discussed the natural drainage channel and selective clearing of
trees; public safety and staffs position regarding neighborhood gates; jurisdictional water
and cleaning of the culverts; Brookhaven Drive connection; schedule for proposed
medians on Davis Boulevard; concern with litter in the natural drainage channel; removal
of utility poles/lines along Davis Boulevard; tree survey for the property; what uses are
allowed by right in C-1 zoning; the location of utility boxes; irrigation for the area between
the development's masonry wall and Davis Boulevard; and the purpose of street hubs to
provide connections to adjacent neighborhoods.
In response to the natural drainage channel discussion, Assistant City Manager Caroline
Waggoner informed City Council there is a nine-foot fall from the Davis Boulevard
concrete apron to the flow line of the receiving channel. The city can request that the
developer honor the flow line of the down stream apron as the upstream flow line.

Mr. Comstock informed City Council the applicant is requesting a revised special
development plan for 11.1 acres located at 6701-6725 Davis Boulevard and 8005-8029
Main Street. The area is designated on the Comprehensive Land Use Plan as urban
village and the current zoning is transit oriented development. Mr. Comstock provided
site photos of the property.
Mr. Josh Eames, Vice President of Presidium Development LLC, located at 3100
McKinney Street, Suite 250, Dallas, Texas presented the request. Mr. Eames provided an
overview of Presidium's history and recent developments. He shared the process to date
for the project, which included a 2020 request for proposals from the city inviting
developers to propose a mixed-use development on the northwest corner of Davis
Boulevard and Main Street. In 2021, Presidium competed with three other developers
over a series of presentations and interviews with staff and City Council. In 2023,
Presidium was selected to proceed and they submitted an acceptable bid to place 9.4
acres of the project under contract. The project includes 296 units (average unit size of
1,152 square feet); 20,000 square feet of commercial; and 393 parking spaces for
multifamily and 110 parking spaces for commercial. Mr. Eames provided an overview of
the community and unit amenities. He also reviewed the landscape plan and renderings
for the multifamily residences (three and four stories) and commercial buildings. Mr.
Eames met with Smithfield Cemetery representative Vickie Coles and Presidium has
agreed to provide a wrought iron fence between their properties.
Mr. Comstock presented staffs report. The revised plan provides for 296 dwelling units;
the project size includes seven buildings (three residential buildings, two commercial
buildings, a leasing office, and amenity building) on 11.1 acres; 392 parking spaces for
residential and 104 parking spaces for commercial; 0.47 acres (5% of the site) of open
space; street access from Davis Boulevard, Northeast Parkway, Snider Street (new road

Street. The landscape plan provides for 0.47 acres of open space; Snider Street
streetscape design; Main Street plaza; Northeast Parkway traffic circle; cemetery
adjacency; and street trees on Davis Boulevard, Northeast Parkway, and Snider Street.
The special development plan also includes a community services area that will provide
electric vehicle charging spaces, trash compactor, recycling enclosure, car wash, dog
wash, and a maintenance building. The plan identifies restricted parking for commercial
uses. The applicant seeks waivers to the transit oriented development district to allow
100% ground floor residential use and accessory uses in the mixed use criteria for the
ground floor; first floor height be less than 15 feet based on residential use; arterial
frontage to allow residential on the first floor along Davis Boulevard; reduce required
parking spaces from 537 to 496; waiver of building front on Northeast Parkway to
accommodate curve of road and shape of building; and landscape standards on private
property to provide one large tree per 20 parking spaces versus one tree and three
shrubs per 1,000 square feet of paved area. The Planning and Zoning Commission, at
their June 15, 2023 meeting, recommended approval with a vote of 5-0, with three
conditions (1) enhance the pedestrian experience and walkability on Snider Street, (2)
additional information regarding the Smithfield Cemetery property line (landscaping,
setbacks, tree preservation, driveway connections, and fencing styles), and (3)

optimal staffing requirements, operating costs, and construction costs). The Dueling
PipelineBlast proposal submitted by ProSlide Technology, Inc., was selected as the
replacement slide for the Green Extreme. Due to ongoing supply chain demands, the city
