ITEM 2. CONSIDER APPROVAL OF SITE PLAN CASE NO. 23-13-SP
Lisa Payne gave a brief description of the case. The applicant intends to construct 29,566
square feet of building additions onto the Euless Police Department. The existing building is
currently 56,005 square feet over two stories on its 9.454-acre lot.
Access and Parking: The Euless Police Department's fire lane and three access points to
W. Euless Blvd. will not be impacted by the proposed additions. The proposed enlargement
of the building calls for the removal of 26 standard parking spaces and 5 accessible parking
spaces, but all 31 parking spaces will be replaced on -site by newly constructed spaces, so
there will be no loss of parking.
Landscaping: The only change in landscaping is at the front entrance, as existing
landscaping throughout the parking lot is not being disturbed. Two shades of new stamped
integral colored concrete will provide pathways to the front door and contain landscaped
areas of canopy trees, ornamental trees, shrubs, grasses, and seasonal color. Several large
limestone blocks will provide a decorative security measure for the building. There will also
be benches, a relocated statue, and an area of donated brick pavers near the building's new
entrance.
Building Construction: The Police Department will be 39'-2" tall at its highest point, which
is the new front entrance, and brick and stone will be used as exterior building materials.
There are four building additions proposed — two on the north side and two on the south
side. The addition at the southeast elevation is the front entrance to the building and it is
proposed as two-story; however, the other three additions all show the option to be one-
story or two-story in the elevation drawings based on cost.
Lighting: All lighting on -site will be upgraded, and the photometric plan has been designed
to match the property's existing light emissions.
The Development Services Group has reviewed the site plan and has certified that it meets
City standards.
There were no questions or comments presented by the Commission.
Commissioner Owens made a motion to approve Case No. 23-13-SP of a request for the
Euless Police Department ai Fountain Center Addition, Lot 2, located at 1102 West Euless
Boulevard.
