SUMMARY:

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

8-1

Z134-106(WE)

GUIDING CRITERIA FOR RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval based upon: 1. Performance impacts upon surrounding property The request for a Planned Development District to increase the density of single family uses in this location will not have a negative impact on the surrounding area. 2. Traffic impact The Engineering Section of the Department of Sustainable Development and Construction has determined that the request to increase the number of dwelling units will not have a negative impact on the street system. 3. Comprehensive Plan or Area Plan Conformance The forwardDallas! Comprehensive Plan shows that the request site in located in a Residential Building Block and is in compliance with the Comprehensive Plan. 4. Justification for PD Planned Development District Zoning as opposed to a straight zoning district With the exception of lot coverage, the straight zoning district that would most accommodate the proposed development is R-5 Single Family Residential due to the lot area, lot coverage and setbacks. The desire for a screening wall in what would be considered a front yard and an increase in the lot coverage over whats permitted in R-5 are what triggered this PD request. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The request site is currently undeveloped and is proposed to be developed with a single family shared access development. The proposed development will be permitted to construct between 14 and 18 single family units. The proposed shared access development will have a minimum lot size of 7,150 square feet and is similar in lot size to the Planned Development Districts in the surrounding area. The request site is adjacent to single family uses and a church. Planned Development District No. 115 is east of the request site, across Creekway Drive, is a 11-unit single family development with minimum lot size of 7,800 square feet. There has been one recent zoning change requested in the area. On January 23, 2013, the City Council approved a Specific Use Permit for private streets on property zoned an R-16(A) Single Family District on the north side of Forest Lane, between Hampstead Lane and Creekway Drive.

Traffic: The Engineering Section of the Department of Sustainable Development and Construction has reviewed the request and determined that the proposed development will not have a negative impact on the surrounding street system. The analysis is based upon the traffic worksheet the applicant provided during the application submittal.

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The forwardDallas! Comprehensive Plan was adopted by the City Council in June 2006. The forwardDallas! Comprehensive Plan outlines several goals and policies which can serve as a framework for assisting in evaluating the applicants request. The Plan identifies the request site as being in a Residential Building Block. The proposed shared access development is also consistent with the lot size of several Planned Development District for single family uses in the surrounding area. The Residential Building Block represents the life-blood of Dallas, the traditional neighborhood of single-family detached homes. Dallas has many neighborhoods that match this description, including Winnetka Heights, Preston Hollow, Lakewood and Wheatley Place. Single-family dwellings are the dominate land use in these areas. Some shops, restaurants or institutional land uses such as schools and religious centers that serve neighborhood residents may be located at the edges or at key intersections.

LAND USE GOAL 1.2 PROMOTE DESIRED DEVELOPMENT

Policy 1.2.1 Use Vision Building Blocks as a general guide for desired development patterns. STAFF ANALYSIS: Land Use Compatibility: The 4.47 acre site is undeveloped and is adjacent to single family uses and a church. Planned Development District No. 115 which is east of the request site, across Creekway Drive, is a single family development with lot sizes ranging between 8,200 square feet and 17,000 square feet. The applicant is proposing to construct a maximum of 18 dwelling units in a singlefamily shared access development. The proposed gated development will comply with the development standards and regulations for a shared access development. The Planned Development is consistent with several Planned Development Districts that are developed with single family uses as it relates to the lot coverage and lot size. The minimum lot size proposed is 7,150 square feet. A chart showing a comparison between the applicants development and surrounding Planned Development Districts with similar lot coverage and lot sizes is provided below.

The applicant is also proposing to preserve a green belt along Forest Lane. This green belt will serve as a buffer between the proposed development and the vehicular traffic. The proposed shared access development will have two driveway approaches, with the primary access being located at the terminus of Creekway Drive. The applicant will submit an application to the City to abandon a 50-foot right-of-way and a 15-foot alley that are located on the property. Staff recommendation is for approval of the applicants request for a Planned Development District for single family uses, subject to a development plan and conditions.
