BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

The site is developed with a private school and related structures/activity areas.
The expansion area is undeveloped.

On August 23, 1993, the City Council approved the creation of PDD No. 385.
Various minor amendments have been approved during this period, most
recently in 2005, providing for a modular classroom area for use during
construction within the main campus.

The applicant is requesting an amendment to and expansion of the PDD to
provide for an illuminated athletic field within the expansion area.

On October 24, 2001, the City Council denied a request for an amendment to
and expansion of PDD No. 385 to provide for an illuminated soccer field.
Zoning History: There has been no recent zoning activity in the immediate area
relevant to this request.

Thoroughfare/Street Designation; Existing & Proposed ROW


Walnut Hill Lane Principal Arterial; 100 & 100 ROW

Inwood Lane Principal Arterial; 80 & 80 ROW
STAFF ANALYSIS:

Comprehensive Plan: The request site is located in an area considered a Residential
Neighborhood. This 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.

GOAL 1.2 Promote desired development.

Policy 1.2.1 Use Vision Building Blocks as a general guide for desired
development patterns.

Land Use Compatibility: The site is developed with various structures and
improvements that support the existing private school campus. The expansion area,
located at the southwest corner of Walnut Hill Lane and Inwood Road, is undeveloped.

Z112-290(RB)

The PDD provides for other uses and development standards consistent with those
found in an R-1ac(A) Single Family District.

The applicant is requesting an amendment to and expansion of the PDD to provide for
an illuminated athletic field within the above referenced expansion area. It should be
noted that no revisions are being requested for the approximate 23.57 acres currently
regulated by the PDD.

The site is surrounded by low density residential uses. Access to the school campus is
provided along Walnut Hill Lane (three ingress/egress points) and Inwood Road (one
ingress/egress point), with no means of ingress/egress along the sites internal property
lines.

The applicant has worked closely with staff as well as involving the surrounding property
owners in dialogue during this process. As noted above, a similar request was denied
by the City Council in 2001, thus many property owners in the immediate area were
involved during the previous public hearing process as well.

While the built environment has not changed since that time, staff has approached this
request from a somewhat refreshed perspective. The applicant has provided two forms
of additional analysis not specifically provided during the 2001 rezoning; 1) a
photometric study based on anticipated lighting infrastructure, and 2) a traffic
management plan focusing on anticipated vehicular activity generated by providing for
the athletic field.

Staff has determined that three main areas of impact should be addressed regarding
this request: 1) illumination of a new athletic field; 2) trip generations specific to
utilization of the athletic field, whether illuminated or not; and, 3) noise levels generated
by utilization of an athletic field outside of normal school hours (students have daily
activities scheduled throughout normal classroom hours). Each is addressed below:
No. 1-Lighting of an athletic field provides for illumination to produce clear visibility (i.e.,
radiance or intensity of lighting at the source) without blinding glare cast onto adjacent
properties. To address this situation, lighting experts must mathematically determine
the precise level of foot-candles needed for the size of a particular field. Additionally,
they must also take into account whether or not spectators will be watching the game,
as this constitutes a second layer of light that must be evenly spread over the field.
A term that is somewhat misunderstood in its application is stadium lighting. In this
environment, lighting tends to rise above the area of illumination. The type of fixtures
utilized in this application tend to increase the chance of spillover lighting as there are
many additional variables to address. It is anticipated lighting for this site will not be of
this type, but rather more managed (reduced light standard height utilizing shielded
fixtures) to keep the intensity of lighting directed downward onto the field.
Dallas City Code exists to ensure that spillover lighting generated from the source is
minimized on adjacent properties. It should be noted that the existing 30 foot-tall light
standards located in the medians of Inwood Road and Walnut Hill Lane emit
approximately 2.5 footcandles at grade.
Z112-290(RB)

Lastly, staff requested a photometric plan to assess the anticipated impact of lighting
the athletic field. As noted in staffs recommended conditions, a future study update of
existing conditions will be required.

No. 2-Regardless of whether these fields are lighted or not, it is anticipated that
additional vehicular traffic will present itself during competitive use of the field. As a
result, staff requested the attached TMP address anticipated levels of additional vehicle
trips associated with usage of the field for district games. As noted, there will be
approximately 40 home games per year (approx. 20 for soccer, both varsity and junior
varsity when applicable, and 20 for lacrosse, both varsity and junior varsity when
applicable). As noted in the analysis, adequate ingress/egress points exist and there is
no anticipated circulation issues that would force vehicles into the right-of-way.

Staff is recommending annual updates for the first three years of actual athletic field
usage (biennially afterwards) to assess actual trip generation/circulation associated with
the field once it becomes operational.

No.3-As is the situation with existing outside athletic activities, certain noise levels are
anticipated and present during school hours as well as usage of these areas after
classroom hours until dusk. Environmental staff has not expressed any concern related
to potential noise intrusion, however a condition is being recommended that a minimum
of four scheduled district and non-district games (during the first 20 games hosted on
the property) be monitored to measure noise at adjacent property lines, with this study
being submitted to city staff.

For comparison purposes, five PDDs exist that provide for athletic facilities for private
schools, although one (PDD No. 143-Covenant School) prohibits lighting of its athletic
field, thus it has been excluded from the table in this section. Each of these schools do
have a residential adjacency. It should be noted that certain provisions exist regarding
use of these improvements as ultimately adopted by the City Council during each
respective zoning request.

The general provisions for a Specific Use Permit in Section 51A-4.219 of the Dallas
Development Code specifically state: (1) The SUP provides a means for developing
certain uses in a manner in which the specific use will be consistent with the character
of the neighborhood; (2) Each SUP application must be evaluated as to its probable
effect on the adjacent property and the community welfare and may be approved or
denied as the findings indicate appropriate; (3) The city council shall not grant an SUP
for a use except upon a finding that the use will: (A) complement or be compatible with
the surrounding uses and community facilities; (B) contribute to, enhance, or promote
the welfare of the area of request and adjacent properties; (C) not be detrimental to the
public health, safety, or general welfare; and (D) conform in all other respects to all
applicable zoning regulations and standards. The regulations in this chapter have been
Z112-290(RB)
6
established in accordance with a comprehensive plan for the purpose of promoting the
health, safety, morals, and general welfare of the city.

While each of the above referenced private schools with illuminated athletic fields/areas
possess varied provisions adopted by their respective PDD regulating ordinance, one
could deduce that the staff recommendation for this request appears much more
restrictive. Staff has determined this focused approach is warranted in this situation for
the following reasons:

1) more pronounced residential adjacency (only two of the four schools noted
above possesses residential adjacency along all property lines);

2) minimal physical separation of proposed field area and light standards (see
table); and,

3) timing of such request (i.e., proposed athletic field areas were part of the
initial request to create specific zoning for each of the schools noted as compared to
this school physically expanding to add the improvements).

As a result of this analysis, staff has determined the addition of an illuminated athletic
field to the school campus should be permitted, subject to a certain level of on-going
responsibilities to be exercised by both the property owner and city staff (see Nos. 1, 2
and 3, above). The vehicle to accomplish this is a specific use permit. Based on staffs
recommended conditions, all parties must remain engaged to ensure the actual impact
of the requested improvements (all analysis to date has generally been industry-based
generated assumptions) is routinely monitored with an ability to engage surrounding
property owners (automatic renewal process) in the process.

Structure Height: With respect to existing regulations, the PDD provides for specific
structure height flexibility across the campus; none of these are being requested for
amendments.

The expansion area will provide for consideration of structure height for the following:
1) light standards (eight) installed to a height of 45 feet, and 2) field netting installed to a
height of 20 feet on top of a four foot/six inch retaining wall.
Traffic: As has been the situation for many years, staff generally has requested a traffic
management plan for all public and private schools, whether they are to be newly
established, or in the case of this school, an existing entity requesting an amendment to
previously approved zoning for this institutional use category. Due to the operational
characteristics of the applicants request (consistent use of the school campus after
normal school hours), staff requested the same analysis devoted to utilization of an
athletic field.
As a result, the Engineering Section of the Department of Sustainable Development and
Construction has reviewed the applicants request and Traffic Management Plan
(divided into two sections; Traffic Management Plan-School, and Traffic Management
Plan-Athletic Field) and determined that it will not significantly impact the surrounding
street system, subject to the following improvements:
Z112-290(RB)
7
1. At Driveway A, install a No Left Turn sign and No Right Turn sign on Walnut
Hill Lane; at Driveway C, install a No Right Turn sign on Walnut Hill Lane; and, at
Driveway D, install a No Right Turn sign on Inwood Road.
2. Restripe the existing crosswalks on Walnut Hill Lane at Surrey Oaks
Drive/Driveway B and at Strait Lane to improve their effectiveness.
3. Consider adjusting the time of the existing school zone operation on Walnut
Hill Lane to better coincide with school hours of operation.
As has been a consistent provision (required updates) for uses that require a TMP, staff
is recommending biennial updates (both sections of the TMP) to ensure sustained
compatibility with the adjacent residential areas.
Off-Street Parking: Required off-street parking is provided per the PDDs permitted
uses as required by the Dallas Development Code, with not less than 585 spaces for a
private school. With respect to the athletic field, staff has determined additional off-
street parking spaces will not be required. Competitive use of the field will occur after
normal school hours, thus the vast majority of the existing spaces will be available for
the competitive matches. The submitted TMP accounts for this scenario which is
supported by staff.
Lastly, it should be noted that the required TMP updates will address actual vehicular
movements to and from the property but actual parking demands for the respective
reporting periods (see frequency in staffs recommended PDD conditions).

Landscaping: PDD No. 385 provides for landscaping per a specific landscape plan.
Additionally, certain buffers must be provided around the practice fields located along
the southern portion of the school campus. No revisions are proposed for that portion
of the property currently zoned PDD No. 385.

With respect to the expansion area, the applicant has worked with the chief arborist to
ensure the expansion area (illuminated athletic field) can sufficiently provide for a
natural buffer, utilizing much of the existing tree line along both street frontages, and the
addition of new plantings.

Traffic Management PL1n for Ursuline Academy of DaiL1s and Athletic Field Addition

INTRODUCTION
TI1e services of DeShazo Group, Inc. (DeShazo) were retained by Ursuline Academy of Dalla.s
(UA) to CC11lduct a traffic management plan (IMP) for their existing ca.mpus located at 4900 Walnut
Hill Lane in Dallas, Texas. The requirement for this document is precipitated by the proposed
additicm of an athletic field in the northeast porticm of the c&npus, which is also included in this
study.
DeShazo is a11 engineering ccmsulting fum providing licensed engineers skilled in the field of
trafficj t:ra11S]>Drlation engineering.
Background
TI1e existing school has a11 enrolln1ent of approxin1ately 800 students from grades 9"' through U"'.
As part of the proposed atluetic field entitlements, no ch=ges to the s tudent enrollnlent are
proposed. Operational characteristics of the school will also renlain tmch=ged aside from those
directly related to t11e atluetic field as described below.
Purpose
TI1e purpose of this report is to document t11e existing traffic operations at Ursuline Academy during
the nwnili>g drop-off a1ld afternocm pick-up hours (to renlain uncllanged) . In additicm tl>is report
will document the anticipated traffic operaticms associated with athletic field (visitors) as requested
by the City of Dallas- t11ough, as described later in this study, the volume of visitors associated with
the athletic field are quite low and otuy occur 011 approxin1ately 20 days per year. \!\'here applicabl e

facilitate safety and nili"timize impact. Tile TMP is available for distl'ibution to the City of Dallas staff
("the Staff') for review as to fulfill the associated equirements of the local aPI"oval process.
TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT PLAN - SCHOOL
A Traffic Management Plan (TMP) is important to safely achieve an optimum level of traffic flow
and ruculation during peak traffic periods associated with student drop-off and pick-up. Tile
following summary depicts the cin:ulation plan, traffic management strategies, and observed
queuing (i.e., vehicle stacking) space used on site to accommodate peak demands nelated to student
ruop-off and pick-up at the scl\ool as well as student drivers. A concel'ted effort by the scl\ool
adnililistration and the parents is encouraged to maintain safe and efficient traffic operations.
School Hours
Tile scllool Ope!'ates on a regulru: scl\edule. Classes on typical scl\ool days begin and conclude at
following tim.es.
o Mondays - start 9:30AM, end: 3:45PM
o Tuesdays-Fridays - start: 8:50 Al'-1, end: 3:45PM
Most peak traffic activity OCC\U'S witlilil tllil'ty minutes of the slal't and end times. A 20-MPH scl\ool
zone is provided on V\iahu.tt Hill Lane adjacent to the school.
Accol'ding to scl\ool epresentatives, approximately 37% of students pMk pel'sonal vehicles at tile
scl\ool; and, typic-ally, approximately 5-20% of students stay at the scllool followUl g disnlissal fol'
ex1::ra-cunicular activi ties. School bus service is not pt'Ovided.
Access and Circulation
Tile site J'l'OVides tiU'ee driveways on Walnut Hill Road (labeled "A", "B'', and " C", on Exhibit 1)
and one driveway (Driveway "D" on Exhibit 1) on Inwood Road. All chiveways rue Sec\U'ed
and/ or access-controlled when not in \l.Se'.
All illbound traffic to the school enters at Driveway Bon V\iahu.tt Hill Lculf'. Driveway B is one-way,
inbotU\d-only with a full median opening. During the morning peak period, an off-duty police
officer is stationed on Walnut Hill Lane at Drive\vay B to assist entering traffic. hl temally, access
through Driveway B is m01litored by a serurity guru:d.
Driveway A is one-way, outbotul d-only and serves most of the site's outbound traffic. An off-duty
police officer COll trols traffic on Walnut Hill Lane at Driveway A during the aftemoon egress peak.
Driveway C is a right-tum-, exit-only driveway serving tile student pMking lot. 1ll e chi veway is
dosed except dtuing ilie aftenl OOll peak exit period.
Access to Driveway D, on Inwood Road, is conuolled by an automatic gate at all times. AJ.ly vehicle
may exit by pulling up to the gate, but only authorized vehicles are allowed to enter. Overall,
Driveway D setves a very low vol1.une of traffic.

During student drop-off/ pick-up periods, parents enter via Driveway B, drive through the student
parking lot to the peripheral campus loop road. Most s tudent unloading and loading occutS in the
designated loading areas at the SOltlheast of the building. Most traffic exits via Driveway A, though
some may opt to use Driveway D.
Queue Lengths
A goal for any school should be to accommodate all vehicuial' queuing and clroJroff/pick-up
procedures on private property (i.e., not utilize public right-of-way for passenger
loading/wuoading). At the same lime the schools should try to minimize the nwnber of vehicles
present on site at any given lime in Ol'der to mininlize potential of vehicles queuing and/ or parking
in public right-of-way.
DeShazo conducted site observations of the aftemoon pick-up-related queuing conditions at the
school on Thl.tl'Sday, August30, 2012. The existing scllool fealut'es a one-way loop road arotul d the
main scl\Ool building from whicl\ parents may queue and load passengers. All queuing associated
with student pick-up occurred in the loop road and did not extend to the public street. Exhibit 1
provides a graphical summary of the observed queue conditions.

TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT PLAN- ATHLETIC FIELD
By request of the City of Dallas slaff, this analysis also provide a SUlllllUUY of the Traffic
Management Plan f01' the proposed athletic field.
Traffic Characteristi cs
Tile following sumnuuy describes the planned use of the proposed athletic field based upon a phone
interview conducted an May 23, 2012 with Mr. Mike Jensen, Athletic Director for UA. Traffic
generation associated with the field can be intuitively projected accOl'ding to the use cl\al'acterist:ics.
Til e proposed athletic field will be for the exclusive use of UA for school- and athletic-related
activities and will not be available for use by 1.Ulaffiliated persons.
Specifically, the field will primarily be used for the UA lacrosse and soccer team practices
and official games. Secondary uses of the field may include: practice area for other UA
sports teams, UA wellness classes, and other UA..-elated athletic programs.
Til e UA lacrosse season lasts from September through early May. Practices generally occur
from 4:()(}.5:30 PM, weekdays. UA lacrosse teams may host up to ten game days per season.
Most game days consist of doubleheaders (i.e., Jtuuor Varsity followed by Varsity) and
typically slalt at 5:00 PM and 6:30 PM (or, 5:30 PM and 7:00 PM). Occasionally, play-off
games may occur on weekend aftemoons (may be Saturday or Sw\day), wiucl\ have different
start tin>es. Practices consist of players and coacl\es who are abeady on the campus - no

additional traffic or parking demand is generated (only the time of departure is adjusted,
accordingly).
TI1e UA soccer season lasts from October tiuough mid-Ma1ch. Practices generally occur two-
to-three days per week from 6:30-8:30 Al\1 (to avoid conflict witi1 lacrosse practices). UA
soccer teams may host up to ten game days per season. About half of ti1e game are
doubleheaders (since not all teams have both Jwlior Va1-sity and Varsity squads), which
typically st<Ut at 6:00PM and 7:30PM (or, 6:30 for su1gle games). Occasional play-off games
may occur on weekends (Saturday only), which have different start tunes. Practices consist
of players and coaches who would oti1e1wise already be on ti1e ca1npus - no additional
traffic or parkil1g demand is generated (only ti1e time of <U'lival is adjusted, accordil1gly).
Soccer games may attract up to 50 spectators (but, usually less ti1an for lacrosse) from off site.
Pa1kil1g for game spectators can easily be accommodated ill adjacent parkil1g spaces which
gave been vacated by school traffic.
Circulation
As witi1 general school traffic, all u1botmd traffic will enter ti1e site via Dliveway B. From ti1e mau1
ruiveway, vehicles may continue souti1 tiuough ti1e cuctt1a1 ruiveway and travel toward ti1e atilletic
field. Sufficient parkil1g will be available ilnmediately stmotmd ti1e field as shown in Exhibit 2.
Upon exit, mot01ists may exit via Dliveway A or Dliveway D.
RECOMMENDATI ONS
Exhibit 3 provides a sununary of existing traffic signage witilin public light-of-way ill ti1e
inunediate vicinity of the school. Exhibit 4 provides a surmna1y of traffic control recommendations,
which are listed below:
I. To reduce ti1e 1isk of wrong-way tw'lling maneuvers: at D1iveway A, u1stall a No Left Tw'll
sign and a No Right Ttu'll sign on Walnut Hill La11e; at D1iveway C, install a No Right Ttml
sign on Walnut Hill Lane; at Dliveway D u1stall a No Right Tum sign on Inwood Road.
II. Restlipe ti1e existing crosswalks on Walnut Hill Lane at Stu-rey Oaks D1ivej lliiveway Band
at Strait Lane to unprove ti1eu effectiveness.
ill. Consider adjusting ti1e time of ti1e existing school zone operation on Wahmt Hill Lane to
better coincide with school homs of operation.
SUMMARY
Tilis TMP is provided to swnn1a1ize ti1e traffic characte1istics of Ursulille Academy of Dallas for
general school traffic a11d traffic associated witi1 the proposed athletic field. TI1e Pla11 is intended to
ma.il1tain passenger vehicle loadil1g/ unloadil1g witilin ti1e site and to avoid vellicle queuu1g and
passenger loading/ tulloadillg witilin ti1e City right-of-way. TI1e details of ti1e TMP shall be
reviewed by ti1e school on a regula1 basis to co11fil'ln its effectiveness a11d compliance and to
consider adjustments as needed to provide overall safety.
