Staff presented the proposal as a revised concept from a previously approved plan. The main changes include a larger steakhouse (increasing from about 8,955 square feet to roughly 10,000 square feet) and a larger event space (from about 8,075 to 10,000 square feet). Retail space on the property was reduced on the current concept from roughly 11,700 square feet to about 10,975 square feet. Staff said required parking under the new proposal would be about 255 spaces while the plan provides 182 spaces; the applicant intends to offer valet service and to rely in part on an off-site parking arrangement.

The commission approved a set of variances that staff described as minor: two driveway-spacing variances and a driveway stacking variance (staff recorded the provided spacing and stacking measurements in the staff report). Commissioners pressed the applicant on tree preservation — the previously approved plan preserved about 16% of canopy while the new proposal would preserve roughly 2% — and on how a long-term off-site parking agreement would be structured.

Applicant Tim McEnany said the team has an agreement in principle with the VeriSpace property across the street to use 75 spaces after 5 p.m., and that the parking agreement would be formalized in writing. Commissioners and staff raised a concern that a temporary or informal agreement would not satisfy the long-term parking need; one commissioner explained that an off-site parking arrangement usable in perpetuity generally requires a deeded easement or permanent parking agreement.

Planning staff (Dennis) explained mitigation options for tree removal under the city’s code, including caliper-inch-for-caliper-inch replacement, planting on- or off-site, or payment into a tree bank when on-site preservation is infeasible. Staff also noted the commission and council can approve some parking adjustments if uses have complementary hours.

After extended discussion the commission made a motion recommending approval of ZA 25-0026, subject to staff reports dated 05/02/2025 and conditioned on the applicant bringing: (1) a tree survey and two alternative concept plans that increase tree preservation (targeting roughly the previously approved 16% level), and (2) alternative concepts that reduce retail square footage (for example half the retail square footage or no retail buildings) so that on-site parking is closer to required levels. The commission emphasized applicants should be prepared to provide concrete parking agreements and a tree-survey-backed preservation plan when the case goes to City Council.","The Planning & Zoning Commission recommended approval of the Dakota's Steakhouse concept site plan and related variances (ZA 25-0026) by a 6-1 vote, conditioning the recommendation on the applicant providing two additional concept options for City Council that increase tree preservation and reduce retail square footage to improve on-site parking.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6564923,"Planning commission approves EV charging specific-use permit at Park Village",1138,132000,1270000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3241111-e980a5bd3a84717e01cb6ba4bc4f4436&start=132&end=1270","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3241111-e980a5bd3a84717e01cb6ba4bc4f4436/thumbnail_132000.jpg","/articles/6564923/Southlake/Tarrant-County/Texas/Planning-commission-approves-EV-charging-specific-use-permit-at-Park-Village","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6564923-826b4c42b0f4fbd572d0e8a25d1e56e9/orig.mp4?Expires=1771149772&Signature=mXjFCWtkrXlRYjymPyHEC-nqIO6ZOVELS-ZrN3IuDBtQgSnzwz5wu-IPimsWXI5Rh9cZy-z~gbLi3VWAMlJycoRxsCtFmMPGOuM0mYSh-wMMxAjoPyIZx3BfRVQayEf487oNSjFmmvDP-VOHtKOqwBd9~-5DyecxmTrJ61Y6B~LmG2F9Wsut~w9pUkbCMzNTzyAjIrS3BEqCGPS90m72f03hwXgKw54Sk-EppeqzDLk~hke0pu0sWu4CUD6jgDrzX1bLZt9BvDkmogxLIggo1K4YQX-pS7v~6dB7Idg3UsOlMkAePMm~OkQxFMNswaTWIzH3cSVuimWUaAWV6ntWTQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Southlake Planning & Zoning Commission on May 2 approved a specific-use permit for electric vehicle charging spaces at the Park Village shopping center, 1035 East Southlake Boulevard.

The permit, case ZA 25-0021, passed 7-0 after staff and the applicant described the planned location, parking adjustments and aesthetics. Chairman Dan Kubiak opened the item and staff described the proposed chargers as sited at the corner near Carroll and Zena Rucker; one existing parking stall would be converted for a charger and a separate unstriped stall would be striped to avoid any net loss of parking.

Staff identified a 10% cap on how much of a site’s required parking can be converted to charging spaces under the city’s SUP guidance. Brian Powers, a project manager with Black & Veatch representing Electrify America, told the commission Electrify America would be a tenant at the property and that users will pay to charge, with payment handled at the charger. Powers said the equipment is compatible with a wide range of electric vehicles and that adapters are commonly used for different vehicle connections.

Commissioners asked for details about the lease term and whether the SUP should be time-limited. The motion approving the SUP asked the applicant to provide the primary term of the lease and any options to the city council for its review and requested that screening and paint-color options for the equipment be included for council consideration. Staff also said the commission has discretion over the SUP’s term and could tie conditions to a lease if council wished.

No members of the public spoke during the public hearing. Commissioners discussed site visibility and asked that the applicant present options to screen or color the equipment and consider landscaping or fencing to reduce visual impact. The motion approving the SUP referenced the staff report dated 05/02/2025 and the SUP staff review summary dated 05/02/2025.

The commission’s recommendation now goes to the City Council for final action; staff indicated the next council hearing date for affected items would be May 20.","Southlake Planning & Zoning Commission approved a specific-use permit for electric vehicle charging stations at Park Village (1035 E. Southlake Blvd.), requiring the applicant to provide lease-term information and screening/paint options to city council; vote was 7-0.","actionData","errors"]
