(ZA20-0040) SOUTHLAKE 2035 PLAN: Future Land Use Plan The site is designated “Mixed Use”. Purpose and Definition: To provide an option for large-scale, master- planned, mixed use developments that combine land uses such as office facilities, shopping, dining, parks, and residential uses. The range of activities permitted, the diverse natural features, and the varying proximity to thoroughfares of areas in the Mixed Use category necessitates comprehensively planned and coordinated development. New development must be compatible with and not intrusive to existing development. Further, special attention should be placed on the design and transition between different uses. Typically, the Mixed Use designation is intended for medium- to higher-intensity office buildings, hotels, commercial activities, retail centers, and residential uses. Nuisance-free, wholly enclosed light manufacturing and assembly uses Case No. Attachment A ZA21-0009 Page 1 that have no outdoor storage are permitted if designed to be compatible with adjacent uses. Other suitable activities are those permitted in the Public Parks/Open Space, Public/Semi-Public, Low Density Residential, Medium Density Residential, Retail Commercial, and Office Commercial categories. Crooked/Kimball Small Area Plan 2030 The property is also included in the 82-acre Crooked/Kimball Small Area Plan. The Future Land Use designation was changed from Low Density Residential to Mixed Use in 2012 as a result of the recommendations in the plan. The proposed development area is located within the 75-LDN overlay for the DFW airport and prohibits residential uses. 2035 Southlake Plan The Southeast Sector Plan from the 2035 Southlake Plan for the S. Nolen Drive/Crooked Lane recommendations: • Provide access or street/cul-de-sac from Village Center to help preserve the rural nature of Crooked Lane. • Development should occur in a manner that preserves and integrates the natural tree cover into the area through the use of open space and creative design. • Preserve trees adjacent to Crooked Lane to maintain the character of the roadway. • Future development on these properties should be approved in a manner that is sensitive to potential impacts on adjacent residential areas, particularly as related to noise, traffic, building heights, lighting and views. Mobility & Master Thoroughfare Plan The Mobility and Master Thoroughfare Plan shows S. Nolen Drive. to be a 3-lane undivided arterial with 70-foot of right of way. The future Village Center Drive location will be north of the property and connect to S. Nolen Drive and S. Kimball Avenue; it is planned as a 2-lane undivided collector with 60’ of right of way. The property will not have direct access to Crooked Lane, a 2-lane local street with a 60-foot right-of-way. Pathways Master Plan & Sidewalk Plan There are currently no sidewalks along Crooked Lane or S. Nolen Drive of the subject property. The Pathways Master Plan indicates a less that 8-foot wide sidewalk on both the west side of S. Nolen Drive and the west side of Crooked Lane. The applicant is providing a 5-foot sidewalk along the west side of S. Nolen Drive and a 6-foot sidewalk on the west side of Crooked Lane.

Kimball Drive. TREE PRESERVATION: The site is subject to the City’s Tree Preservation Ordinance No. 585-E Under traditional zoning the proposed preservation of the existing tree cover would not comply with the Existing Tree Cover Preservation Requirements of the Tree Preservation Ordinance 585-E. There is 42.7% of existing tree cover across the property and 50% of the existing tree cover would be required to be preserved. 74.4% of the existing tree canopy cover is proposed to be removed and 25.6% proposed to be preserved. UTILITIES: The water line access to the site is located along the west side of S. Nolen Drive with an 8-inch water line, a 6-inch water line on the west side of Crooked Lane, and two (2) 8-inch water lines at the Pinnacle Point development to the west of the property. The property has access to an 8-inch sewer line along the west side of S. Nolen Drive and an 8-inch sewer connection at the Kimball Heights development to the west. DRAINAGE: The site drains from the west to the east and southeast towards S. Nolen Drive and Crooked Lane. The proposed drainage improvements include a detention pond at the south end of the property in Phase 1 and an underground drainage pond (structure) under the parking lot located in the southeast corner of Phase 2.
