Agenda - City of Dallas

Z112-137(WE)
The number of required off-street parking spaces for the elementary school is 69
spaces and the applicant is proposing to provide 71 off-street parking spaces. The total
number of proposed classrooms determines the number of required parking spaces.
RISD will have to meet the parking requirements in accordance to Section 51A-4.200 of
the Dallas Development Code for any future expansion.
Landscaping: Landscaping of any development will be in accordance with Article X, as
amended. .
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.
Staff has reviewed and supports the proposed conditions. Typically, there is language
in the Planned Development District conditions that prohibits new schools from queuing
within the City's right-of-way. This language was not included in the proposed POD
conditions because the request site is an existing elementary school. Aikin Elementary
School has been in operation since the 1980s. The applicant has provided staff with a
Traffic Management Plan (TMP) that reflects the current implementation of the
administration's procedures in directing traffic during school hours.
The Engineering Section of the Department of Sustainable Development and
Construction has reviewed and supports the Traffic Management Plan. The applicant is
required, as with all Traffic Management Plans, to submit a traffic study to the director
biannually, to determine if the TMP is being implemented effectively.
CPC Action (January 19, 2012)

Development District No. 572 for a Public school other than an Openenrollment

management plan and conditions on the southeast corner of Pleasant Valley
