ITEM 2. APPROVED SITE PLAN NO. 17-11-SP
Senior Planner Stephen Cook gave a brief description of the case. Ferguson, a company
which specializes in providing professional grade plumbing supplies, wishes to expand
the fire lane (emergency access, drainage and utility easement — EADUE) and parking
around their southern existing building located off S. Pipeline Road. The property was
rezoned to a Planned Development on March 24, 2015 in order to consolidate all of their
property holdings into one zoning category. The company intends to renovate the interior
of the building to include more office space which has created the need for additional
parking.
Access—Access to the property is made from an existing drive approach from S. Pipeline
Road and the construction of a secondary drive approach on the east side of the building.
The new parking area will be located along the south and east sides of the building and
formalize parking spaces from an existing concrete pad on the north side of the building.
Parking — With the conversion of some of the warehouse space to office space — this
necessitates the need for additional parking surrounding this building. Out of a total
40,401 SF, the building, after renovation will have approximately 16,000 SF to office
space and the remainder to interior warehouse. Parking for office is 1 space per 300 SF
and 1 space per 1000 SF for warehousing. The total parking around this building of 85
spaces will exceed the total number required for the building.
Landscaping — Landscaping is focused primarily on the streetyard located between the
front of the building and the street right-of-way. New landscaping will be introduced along
the streetyard of this building to S. Pipeline Road including new trees, shrubs and
groundcover. S. Pipeline Road is within the jurisdiction of the City of Fort Worth and will
not be improved at this time — therefore a sidewalk will not be installed along that street
frontage.
