for the revised project (ZA16-045). A SPIN Meeting Report from the June 23,
2015 SPIN Town Hall Forum is included as Attachment “D” of this report.
SOUTHLAKE 2030: Consolidated Future Land Use
The Southlake 2030 Future
Land Use Plan designates
this property as Medium
Density Residential. As
proposed, this development is
consistent with the Future
Land Use Plan. The image to
the right illustrates the Future
Land Use for the proposed
location.
Master Thoroughfare Plan
Zena Rucker Road currently
does not connect between
Byron Nelson Parkway and Carroll Avenue. Access to this proposed
subdivision is contingent upon the construction of Zena Rucker Road, which
according to the Southlake Master Thoroughfare Plan is designated as a 2-
lane collector (C2U) with a minimum 60’ R.O.W. required. A minimum radius of
400’ and minimum tangent length of 50’ between curves is required per
Case No. Attachment A
ZA1 7-035 Page 2
Subdivision Ordinance No. 483. This development as proposed is dependent
upon acquisition of offsite R.O.W. and construction of a portion of Zena
Rucker Road. Note, the applicant is not proposing to finish the connection of
Zena Rucker Road between Byron Nelson Parkway and Carroll Avenue; the
street is proposed to stub approximately leaving 600’ to the nearest cross
street to the east.
Mobility Master Plan
The Mobility Master Plan recommends the extension of Zena Rucker Road
east to S. Carroll Avenue. Below is the recommendation as written within the
Mobility Master Plan. The proposal for Matthews Court states that in
conjunction with the installation of culverts immediately west of the
neighborhood by the City, Zena Rucker Road will be extended across these
culverts and along the frontage of the neighborhood by the developer, which
will bring Zena Rucker Road closer to its ultimate connection at Tower
Boulevard which will then complete the alternative connection between S.
Carroll Avenue and Byron Nelson Parkway.

Bob Jones Nature Center – Site Plan request to replace tent with permanent pavilion structure
30x50 Hip structure
pavilion with stone
columns and standing
seam metal roof to
match main building
The Bob Jones Nature Center has 758 acres of natural fun. It provides a unique opportunity for the
community to explore nature and discover the Cross Timbers ecosystem. It is a hidden natural treasure
located in the heart of the DFW metroplex. The normal operating hours of the Nature Center are
Monday thru Saturday 9am-5pm. Additional information can be found on the website at www.bjnc.org.
The City of Southlake Community Services Department intends to install a permanent shade structure to
replace the tent currently located on the back patio of the Bob Jones Nature Center. The proposed
shade structure will be 30ftx50ft and have 8ft clearance underneath. The ridge height of structure will
be approximately 13ft tall. The 4-12 roof pitch will be same as existing building and utilize similar metal
roofing material. Stone veneer will be attached to columns. See photos included of a similar existing
shade structure located at the Nature Center.
The shade structure will create a permanent covered space where the city can provide outdoor
education, family event rentals, and a respite after a long hike on the beautiful nature trails.
Construction is expected to begin late 2017 with an early 2018 completion date.

PROJECT: Site Plan for Bob Jones Nature Center EXECUTIVE
SUMMARY: The City of Southlake is requesting approval of a Site Plan for Bob Jones
Nature Center on property being described as Tracts 3, 4, 5 & 5A, R.D. Price
Survey, Abstract No. 1003A and Tracts 1 & 2, M. Mahaffey Survey, Abstract
No. 916A, City of Southlake, Denton County, Texas; and Tract 5A, R.D. Price
Survey, Abstract No. 1207, City of Southlake, Tarrant County, Texas. The
property is located at 355 E. Bob Jones Road, Southlake, Texas. Current
Zoning: “AG” Agricultural District. SPIN #1.
DETAILS: Bob Jones Nature Center (BJNC) is generally located on the northeast
boundary of Bob Jones Park, off of Tucker Drive. The purpose of this item is to
gain site plan approval for the construction of a 1,500 square foot shade
pavilion with stone columns and a standing seam metal roof. The proposed
structure will replace an existing tent in the same location and provide a
permanent covered space for outdoor education, family event rentals, and a
respite after a long hike on the nature trails. No other changes to the site are
proposed.
A site plan approval by City Council following a recommendation from the
Planning & Zoning Commission is needed because the non-residential use is
within 400 feet of residential properties resulting in the application of Residential
Adjacency Overlay Standards.
VARIANCE
REQUEST: Per Ordinance No. 480, as amended, Section 43.13.a(2) – Roof Design
Standards: Standing seam metal roofs shall be constructed of a factory-treated,
non-metallic, matte finish.
The applicant is requesting to use a metallic “Galvalume” color standing seam
metal roof to match the roof material used for the main BJNC building. This roof
material was approved by City Council in 2006 with a variance request
associated with a Revised Site Plan application for Bob Jones Park (ZA06-163).
Although the roof initially has reflective metallic properties, it soon weathers to a
non-reflective gray color.

Narrative
The City of Southlake is partnering with TXU and ChargePoint to install one Level 2 dual head EV
charging station in the Town Square East Parking Garage between two parking spaces (see photo in
Plans and Support Information). Additionally, a second charging station that is an exact replica and
adjacent to the proposed location have also been planned for the future. When the need arise, the
second charging station will be installed. This initiative aligns with Southlake’s 2030 Mobility Master Plan
as a Tier 1 project. This project includes the installation of facility infrastructure, signage and dual head
charger that will allow two electric vehicles to charge simultaneously. The charging station is a CT4000
Level 2 commercial charging station. No additional lighting is proposed. Four spaces in the first floor
parking garage is well below the 10% allowable. Bollards or wheel stops will be provided to protect the
charging station.
In summary, two charging stations in 4 spaces are requested with this application. It is proposed that the
two stations are installed in two different phases. The timeline for the second station installation is
unknown at this time.

Ms Fletcher,
Good afternoon,
I attended last night's SPIN Town Hall Forum and had specific questions regarding the proposed
electric vehicle charging stations in the Southlake Town Square East Parking Garage that the
presenter did not have answers. Since, the meeting, I have additional questions.
1) What is the type of electric charger that will be installed? Please provide detail of the
manufacturer and type of Electric Vehicle Charger.
2) What is the anticipated project cost? What will be the annual cost to operate the charging
stations?
3) What is the cost share between the City of Southlake and the electric provider?
4) Has the City of Southlake obtained bids from or vetted other electric providers for this
project?
5) The presenter stated that there would be an initial period whereby electricity used by
consumers would be "free" while the City does a study to ascertain what the usage will be and
what needs to be charged. Has the City of Southlake obtained financial impact studies from
other cities or businesses that have installed these charging stations?
6) Why as a taxpayer who does not have an electric car support the City of Southlake providing
free electric vehicle charging at taxpayers expense?
7) Why has the City of Southlake not obtain a cost analysis to ascertain the cost of the electricity
to ascertain what to charge consumers?
8) Will the City of Southlake obtain a cost analysis BEFORE the implementation of the proposed
project to ascertain the costs associated and to ascertain what to charge consumers?
9) Is this project expected to be a revenue generating project for the City of Southlake?
10) What City of Southlake agency will be responsible for overseeing Electric Vehicle Charging
stations?
11) What expertise does the City of Southlake agency have in Electric Vehicle Charging
stations?
12) What is the estimated return on investment for these Electric Vehicle Charging stations?
13) What is the estimated annual revenue the City of Southlake expects to generate from these
Electric Vehicle Charging stations?
14) What is the estimated annual maintenance costs associated with these Electric Vehicle
Charging stations?
15) Electric Vehicle Charging stations have an inherent risk of shock hazards due to vandalism,
copper theft, chaffed cables, collisions, standing water, or accidents involving the charging
devices. What experience does the City of Southlake have in safety inspections, safety training,
installation, maintenance of these devices to ensure public safety and mitigate claims and
Case No. Attachment E
ZA17-033 Page 4
litigation against the City of Southlake from damages, injury or death that may occur?
16) Has the City of Southlake Fire Department Fire Marshall completed a safety feasibility study
to ascertain if the placement in the parking garage is safe and if Fire Department staff is trained
to provide appropriate fire suppression or rescue involving these Electric Vehicle Chargers?
17) What will be the proposed safety maintenance inspection schedule and who will be
responsible to complete this task? What is the expertise of the personnel assigned to this role and
responsibility?
18) Will there be ADA accessible Electric Vehicle Charging stations? The photos did not provide
for handicap accessible stations.
19) The citizens of the City of Southlake are not services by a municipal owned power company
or cooperative. Regulatory authority falls to the Public Utility Commission of Texas for these
proposed charging stations. How will the City of Southlake navigate and meet the requirements
of the PUC in charging consumers for usage?
20) Why does the City of Southlake wish to engage in the business of electric vehicle charging
stations?
21) Companies such as Green Mountain Energy, a subsidiary of NRG, offers EV drivers a special
rate on 100% wind power to charge their cars. What will be the electricity source from the
proposed electrical provider? Will the electrical provider provide 100% renewable source?
22) What is the rationale for the proposed location of the project and not at another location
within the City of Southlake?
These are just a few questions and would appreciate your information and feedback.
Thank you,
Diana Wagner

PROJECT: Site Plan for Miron Grove Business Park
EXECUTIVE
SUMMARY: Conifer Real Estate, Inc., on behalf of the owner Southlake Miron Office, LLC, is
requesting approval of a Site Plan on property described as Lot 4R, Block 1, Miron
Addition, City of Southlake, Tarrant County, Texas, located at 240 Miron Drive,
Southlake, Texas. Current Zoning: “S-P-2” Generalized Site Plan District. SPIN #8
REQUEST
DETAILS: The applicant is requesting approval of the site plan for Miron Grove Business Park to
install an electric generator and generator enclosure adjacent to Building #4 for a
medical office. The generator enclosure will be installed on the north side of the
building in two parking spaces and a portion of the landscape island. The
development provides 211 parking spaces (207 spaces required) on the site to
accommodate the elimination of two parking spaces for the proposed generator
enclosure. One trash enclosure was eliminated (two trash enclosures remain) to add
three parking spaces to the development. Further explanation may be found in the
Narrative. The generator enclosure will be constructed with the same masonry building
materials used for the office building.
With this site plan, the medical office building elevation will be modified to remove one
door on the east elevation to accommodate the operation of the tenant. The window
design will be modified on the east and west elevations and the masonry details will
enhance the windows. The proposed elevation enhancements will be compatible and
consistent with the other building in the development.

NARRATIVE FOR MIRON GROVE SITE PLAN REVISION
Southlake Miron, LLC is requesting a site plan revision to accommodate a plastic
surgery center for Vennemeyer Plastic Surgery. Vennemeyer Plastic Surgery
specializes in elective outpatient cosmetic plastic surgery, most under general
anesthesia provided by an anesthesiologist. Most of the procedures will be breast
augmentation and other relatively short procedures. Patients are generally
discharged approximately 90 minutes after the procedure. This new office will be
their primary location to see new patients for consolations, procedures and follow
up visits. This will also be their main office with the all of their administrative staff
and general offices.
The application is required to amend the site to accommodate an electrical
generator and enclosure. The generator is a safety measure to ensure that in the
event of power loss, there are no interruptions during procedures and the
recovery period.
The original Miron Grove site plan included three dumpsters to service eleven
buildings. We determined that three dumpsters were not required to
accommodate the development. One dumpster was eliminated which added
three additional parking spaces. The generator location will take two parking
spaces and we relocated one accessible route which eliminated one parking
space. The parking spaces provided on this revised site plan are the equal the
number of parking spaces shown on the original site plan.
Additionally, Vennemeyer desires to enhance the elevation of the previously
approved building elevation. The enclosed elevation includes enhancements to
the windows and eliminates one door on the east elevation. Since this building be
occupied 100% by Vennemeyer Plastic Surgery only one door is required on the
east side and will be the main entry to the building. The proposed elevation
enhancements are be compatible and consistent with the other buildings in the
Miron Grove development.

S.H. 114 Corridor Plan
xxxx, 2017 Page i
Abstract
The S.H. 114 Corridor Plan is the first of six sector plans adopted during the Southlake 2035 process. The
plan encompasses approximately 1,878 acres that are adjacent to S.H. 114. The most prominent land
uses include commercial activities and residential uses; although a significant portion of the plan area is
classified as vacant or underdeveloped. As such, the primary objectives for planning in the S.H. 114
corridor are maintaining high development and urban design standards, buffering residential uses from
the roadway corridor and commercial uses, and ensuring continued quality growth. The Plan further
addresses the unique characteristics and challenges of the S.H. 114 corridor and provides specific
planning recommendations in regard to land use, mobility, environmental resources, as well as parks,
recreation and open space.
Sector Planning and Land Use Planning
Introduction
The City of Southlake’s Land Use Plan serves as the community’s vision for future development by
allocating the appropriate location, concentration and intensity of future development by land use
categories. The plan serves as a guide to all decision making as it pertains to the City’s future
development.
The City of Southlake approaches land use planning through sector planning, a method which divides
the City into sectors to identify development issues and to develop recommendations for each individual
area. This approach recognizes that planning issues are numerous and complex, and may vary from area
to area or even site to site. In short, the purpose of a sector plan is to:
Establish a detailed background for the planning area,
Identify current development constraints and issues,
Identify features, resources and areas to be protected or improved,
Explore development opportunities and
List recommendations for the future development and conservation of the area.
Sector planning was first implemented in Southlake during the development of the Southlake 2025 Plan
in 2004. For the Southlake 2030 Plan, eight sector plans were created:

MAP 1: SOUTHLAKE 2030 PLANNING SECTORS
This strategy is continued in the Southlake 2035 Plan with four sector plans (West, North, Central,
Southeast) and two corridor plans. The 1709 corridor and 1938 corridor will be combined into one plan
called the F.M. 1709 and F.M. 1938 Corridor Plan (also known as the F.M. Corridor Plan). Due to its
visibility, as well as its unique challenges and opportunities, the 114 Corridor will continue to be
evaluated as a distinct planning area from the other sectors.
Although recommendations may vary from area to area, all sector plans are intended to work together
to support a desired direction for growth as outlined in the adopted Vision, Goals and Objectives of the
Southlake 2035 Plan (Ordinance No. xxxx). As such, the land use recommendations from the sector
plans are consolidated to create one cohesive document for the City as a whole and the result is the
City’s Land Use Plan.
Recommendations developed in the sector plans will also be incorporated into other plan elements,
such as the Master Thoroughfare Plan and Parks, Recreation and Open Space Master Plan, as
appropriate. In addition, the sector plans will be utilized in setting priorities in the Capital Improvement
Program (CIP) planning process, updating current development ordinances and creating new planning
related ordinances or programs as needed.

Relationship to Southlake’s Strategic Management System
Strategic planning is an ongoing process where resources, critical concerns, community priorities and
citizen needs are combined to produce both a plan for the future and a measure for results. More
specifically, Southlake’s Strategic Management System links the city’s day-to-day activities to a
comprehensive long term strategy for public policy and management decisions. The Strategic
Management System identifies Strategic Focus Areas and Objectives to guide effective and efficient
resource allocation and provides benchmarks to assess performance. The Strategic Focus Areas and
Objectives are driven by the City’s Citizen Survey and are outlined in the City’s Strategy Map (please see
Appendix B).
The Strategic Management System guided the development of the Southlake 2035 Plan Vision, Goals
and Objectives (VGO), which define a desired direction for growth for the City. As such, all
recommendations in the Southlake 2035 Plan are tied to at least one Strategic Focus Area from the
Strategic Management System and at least one Objective from the Adopted Vision, Goals and
Objectives.
Relationship to Vision North Texas
Vision North Texas is a public, private, non-profit and academic partnership headed by the North Central
Texas Council of Governments, the Urban Land Institute, and the University of Texas at Arlington. The
partnership was created to serve as a forum for discussion, research, and action on issues related to the
growth and development of North Central Texas. In addition, the partnership strives to increase public
awareness about important regional land use issues and to build support for initiatives that create a
successful and sustainable future for North Texas.
Over the last few years, Vision North Texas has invited stakeholders from across the region to
participate in a series of workshops to develop a vision for the region’s future as well as an action plan

to achieve that vision. The result of these workshops is North Texas 2050, which describes the preferred
future envisioned by Vision North Texas participants. The document also provides guiding principles to
help decision-makers achieve the regional vision. The City of Southlake recognizes the importance of
the regional vision and has worked to align the Southlake 2035 Plan with North Texas 2050. All
Southlake 2035 recommendations are linked to at least one of the guiding principles (please see
Appendix C). Additional information on North Texas 2050 and Vision North Texas is available at

1.0 Introduction to the S.H. 114 Corridor
The S.H. 114 Corridor generally includes all properties adjacent to S.H. 114 from the western city limit to
the eastern city limit. The S.H. 114 Corridor includes some of the City’s larger developments including
Southlake Town Square, Gateway Plaza, the campuses of Sabre and TD Ameritrade and the master
planned development of Carillon. This plan is focusing on the entire length of S.H. 114 that crosses the
city from the northwest to the southeast but also includes Southlake Boulevard (F.M. 1709) from North
Carroll Avenue to the eastern City limit. The western portion of Southlake Boulevard (F.M. 1709), west
of North Carroll Avenue, is not included in the S.H. 114 Corridor because it is within the boundaries of
the F.M. 1709 Corridor Plan and is addressed therein.
The boundaries of the plan area are shown in the following map.

1.1 Character of the Corridor
The S.H. 114 Corridor is generally characterized by office, retail, medical and residential uses along with
some larger tracts of vacant land. Office and Medical uses are generally found along the frontage road
of S.H. 114 and most of the retail is located between S.H. 114 and Southlake Boulevard. The largest
concentration of retail and restaurant uses is found at Southlake Town Square, The Shops at Southlake,
Village Center and Gateway Plaza. More recent developments in the corridor that are built or under
way for construction along the corridor include TD Ameritrade, Kimball Park, and the Granite Office
Building.

1.2 Preliminary Analysis
To fully understand the development issues facing S.H. 114 corridor, an analysis of existing conditions is
critical. The following section offers an assessment of the existing land uses and zoning as well as a
description of recent development changes in the corridors.

1.2.1 Existing Land Use Distribution
An evaluation of existing land use in the S.H. 114 corridor shows that approximately 35.0% is classified
as “Vacant”, which is down from 47% in 2012. Significant properties with this classification are the “NR-
PUD” Non-Residential Planned Unit Development, “ECZ” Employment Center zoning and “AG”
Agriculture zoning districts. With the development of TD Ameritrade on approximately 80 acres near the
Sabre campus, the most significant pieces of undeveloped land along the corridor are the 125 acre
Milner tract west of N. Carroll Ave., the 55 acre and 40 acre tracts near the intersection of Dove Rd. and
White Chapel Blvd., and the approximately 50 acres of land remaining in Carillon. Other significant tracts
are the former flea market at the southeast corner of S.H. 114 and N. White Chapel Blvd. and the 21
acre tract at the corner of S.H. 114 and Blessed Way.
“Household Activities” and “Unbuilt Residential” comprises the next most common land use category
with 16.2% of the land area or 304.7 acres. “Shopping and Dining” comprise approximately 275.4 acres,
or 14.7% of the land area in the corridor. “Social, Cultural or Religious” land use consists of
approximately 79 acres or 4.5% of the total land area in the sector, although this is down about 50%
from the Southlake 2030 analysis due to Gateway Church selling portions of its property for
development. Medical and Healthcare also comprises a growing portion of the 114 Corridor with 2.9% of
the land area or 55.2 acres. This growth is due largely to the development of the Methodist Southlake
Health Center but also due to growing demand for and construction of medical office space along the
corridor and within the city.
TABLE 1: S.H. 114 EXISTING LAND USES
*Exclusive of public right-of-ways
The map below illustrates existing conditions of the corridors. The classifications indicated on the map
are based on the Land Based Classification Standards (LBCS) model developed by the American Planning
Association. This model extends the notion of classifying land uses by refining traditional categories into
multiple dimensions, such as activities, functions, building types, site development character, and
ownership constraints. Each dimension has its own set of categories and subcategories. These multiple
dimensions allow users to have precise control over land-use classifications.
Existing Land Use Acres* Percentage
Vacant / Developable 657.0 35.0%
Residential 304.7 16.2%
Shopping/Dining 275.4 14.7%

1.2.2 Existing Zoning
The existing zoning in the S.H. 114 Corridor is primarily a mix of Site Plan District (S-P-1 and S-P-2),
General Commercial District (C-3), Downtown District (DT), Non-Residential Planned Unit Development
District (NR-PUD) and Employment Center Zoning District (ECZ) designations. There is also a large
portion of land area with the Agricultural Zoning District (AG) and limited Single-Family Residential and
Two Family Residential Zoning District designations (SF-1A, SF-2, SF-20A, SF-20B, SF-30, MF1).

2.0 Planning Challenges and Issues
Along with the adopted Vision, Goals and Objectives of the Southlake 2035 Plan, these challenges and
issues serve as the basis for many of the recommendations outlined in the following chapters.
Development along the S.H. 114 Corridor
According to traffic counts conducted by the City in 2015, an average of 58,202 vehicles traverse the 114
corridor each day. With the City’s proximity to both DFW Airport and Alliance Airport in Ft. Worth and
the overall health of the northeast Tarrant County market, the vacant land along S.H. 114 has become
extremely desirable for development. Providing a diverse and attractive range of land uses along the
corridor will be necessary to attract the type of development the City would like to see along the
corridor. Since much of this land consists of large tracts, there are opportunities to master plan many of
these areas to ensure good vehicle/pedestrian connectivity, land use mixes and public services. In
addition, as development occurs, this will provide for opportunities to implement the City’s Urban
Design Plan.
S.H. 114 also presents visual opportunities and challenges. It is the public face and dominant impression
of the community for thousands of freeway commuters and travelers daily. The City’s 2008 Urban
Design Plan set a number of goals for the Corridor, many of which have been achieved with the quality
design of bridge structures and landscaping improvements. This plan and the 2035 Urban Design Plan
seek to build upon these improvements and set new goals for design and aesthetics in both the public
and private realms.
The growing corporate corridor along W. Kirkwood also holds great potential for creation of a cohesive
urban design theme directly off of S.H. 114. The critical challenge along the S.H. 114 corridor is to
establish private development standards that can create a sense of place along this highway corridor.
Essentially, the scale and character of any future development along the highway corridor will be able to
better define the corridor due to the expanse of the highway right-of-way.
Pedestrian Mobility and Safety
As with any highway, pedestrian mobility and safety will be a challenge on a high volume roadway such
as S.H. 114. The implementation of strategies to reduce cut-through traffic will also help protect
residential neighborhoods and enhance pedestrian safety around schools, churches, community centers
and parks. Of particular concern are the safety hazards posed by vehicles to school-aged children and
other residents during the peak drop-off and pick-up hours. The City will continue to work with local
school districts to identify safe routes to all schools, establish safe drop-off and pick-up zones and
encourage walking or bicycling as safe alternatives to driving children to school.

3.0 Land Use Recommendations
In the context of comprehensive planning, “land use” typically refers to future land use designations as
shown on the Future Land Use Map. The Future Land Use Map illustrates the desired location and
distribution of land uses throughout the City, as opposed to the Existing Land Use Map (discussed in
Section 1.2.1) which shows how land is currently being utilized. As such, the Future Land Use Map is an
important visual tool used by city decision-makers, city staff, developers, and citizens to understand the
community’s desired development pattern.
RELATIONSHIP TO ZONING
A comprehensive plan and its land use plan component are policy instruments; therefore, they are
advisory and general in nature. Zoning, in the form of a zoning ordinance, is the primary mechanism
used by a municipality to implement its land use plan portion of the comprehensive plan.
Texas Local Government Code, Section 211.004, Compliance with Comprehensive Plan, differentiates
zoning ordinances from land use (or comprehensive) plans. The generally accepted interpretation of
Section 211.004 is that an adopted land use plan (or comprehensive plan) forms a legal basis for zoning
and, therefore, zoning should be in accordance with the land use plan. The zoning ordinance interprets
the general pattern and categories of land uses in the land use plan into districts of permissible activities
within specific district boundaries.
LAND USE CATEGORIES AND DEFINITIONS
The following sections describe the twelve underlying land use categories. Additional information such
as the recommended land use mix, scale and context criteria, and overall character and design
characteristics are provided for land use categories that include a mix of uses and require further
clarification.
FLOODPLAIN
Purpose and Definition: The Floodplain category illustrates areas designated by the August 1995 Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) maps as being in the 100-year floodplain. The “floodplain” is
an expanse of natural vegetation and wildlife, and should be preserved as natural open area. Within the
floodplain is “floodway” that must be kept free of encroachment in order that the 100-year flood may
be carried without harmful increases in the height of flood waters. Although it is not to be encouraged,
the portion of the floodplain not in the floodway may be reclaimed for development under certain
circumstances if in accordance with FEMA regulations. The designated land use for areas of reclaimed

xxxx, 2017 Page 9
floodplain is that of the immediately adjacent land use category. This designation may also include
environmentally sensitive areas, habitats, or wetlands that may not be in FEMA identified floodplains.
CORPS OF ENGINEERS
Purpose and Definition: The Corps of Engineers category includes all property adjacent to Grapevine
Lake owned by the federal government and managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (COE). The
primary purpose of this property is the temporary reservoir storage of flood waters. Within the COE
ownership (and, in some instances, on adjacent private land), there is a regulatory flowage easement at
an elevation of 572 feet above sea level. Through lease agreements with the COE, property within the
Corps of Engineers category may be utilized as parks, recreation, and open space. Ancillary commercial
and retail activities associated with these uses are permitted, but no habitable structures may be
developed within the flowage easement.
PUBLIC PARKS / OPEN SPACE
Purpose and Definition: Public Parks/Open Space are public areas designated for active and passive
recreation, such as parks and athletic complexes, and public open space for the preservation of the
scenic vistas and natural vegetation of the City. This Land Use Plan depicts only existing Public
Parks/Open Space facilities; potential Public Parks/Open Space sites are illustrated in the Parks,
Recreation, and Open Space Master Plan.
PUBLIC / SEMI-PUBLIC
Purpose and Definition: Public/Semi-Public areas are suitable for a wide range of public, civic, and
religious uses, such as government offices and facilities, public and private schools, churches and related
facilities (including parsonage and parochial schools), cemeteries, and Public Parks/Open Space uses in
conjunction with these developments.
LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL
Purpose: The purpose of the Low Density Residential land use category is to provide for and to protect
low intensity detached single-family residential development that promotes the openness and rural
character of Southlake.
DR
A
F
T
4/1

7
S.H. 114 Corridor Plan
xxxx, 2017 Page 10
Definition: The Low Density Residential category is for detached single-family residential development
at a net density of one or fewer dwelling units per acre. Net density is the number of dwelling units per
net acre, which excludes acreage in all public rights-of-way. Other suitable activities are those permitted
in the Public Parks / Open Space and Public / Semi-Public categories described previously. The Low
Density Residential category encourages the openness and rural character of the City of Southlake.
Land Use Mix*: The percentages below for the land use mix in the Low Density Residential category are
intended only to be guidelines, and greater flexibility may be appropriate under site specific conditions.
Land Use Percentage of Acreage Flexibility Allowed
Single-family Residential 85% ±15%
Open space** 10% ±10%
Civic use 5% ±5%
Total 100%
*These percentages are not regulatory and should only be used as a guide.
**Park dedication fees may be appropriate in lieu of open space. Small subdivisions (less than 4 lots)
may be designed without open space.
Scale and Context Criteria: Scale and context criteria describe intensity, location, and compatibility
criteria for the mix of land uses proposed.
Residential Uses:
Single family detached dwellings at a net density of one or
fewer dwelling units per acre.
Open Space:
Open spaces should be designed to add value to the
development and may include parks, playgrounds, greenbelts,
ponds and lakes, gardens, and conservation areas.
Provide natural walking paths along stream and creek corridors.
Preserve existing wooded areas and stream corridors when feasible.
Emphasize environmental elements as “features” rather than constraints.
Civic Uses:

Small scale government offices and facilities, schools, churches and related facilities.
Overall Character and Design: This land use category is primarily characterized by single family
detached dwellings with rural cross-section roadways.
MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL
Purpose: The purpose of the Medium Density Residential land use category is to promote a
neighborhood setting primarily comprised of single family detached houses.
Definition: The Medium Density Residential category is suitable for any single-family detached
residential development. Other suitable activities are those permitted in the Public Parks/Open Space
and Public/Semi-Public categories previously discussed.
Land Use Mix*: The percentages below for the land use mix in the Medium Density Residential category
are intended only to be guidelines, and greater flexibility may be appropriate under site specific
conditions.
Land Use Percentage of Acreage Flexibility Allowed

Purpose and Definition: The Office Commercial category is a commercial category designed and
intended for the exclusive use of office and limited office-related activities. It is established for and will
be allocated to those districts best suited for supporting commercial activity of an office character. It
has been established to encourage and permit general professional and business offices of high quality
and appearance, in attractive landscaped surroundings with the types of uses and design exterior
appearance so controlled as to be generally compatible with existing and future adjacent and
surrounding residential development. Properties with this designation may serve as a transition
between established residential neighborhoods, major roadways, and retail development. Other

Purpose and Definition: The Retail Commercial category is a lower- to medium-intensity commercial
category providing for neighborhood-type retail shopping facilities and general commercial support
activities. It is intended to provide limited local retail and/or office uses which serve neighborhoods in
close proximity. It is intended that all uses in this category will be compatible with adjacent single family
uses, thereby maintaining the character and integrity of existing neighborhoods. This category is
intended to encourage comprehensively planned developments. In areas where the Retail Commercial
designation is adjacent to residentially zoned properties or areas with a residential designation on the
Land Use Plan, lower intensity activities such as office or office-related uses should be planned adjacent
to the residential uses. Other suitable activities are those permitted in the Public Parks/Open Space,
Public/Semi-Public, and Office Commercial categories previously discussed.
Land Use Mix*: The percentages below for the land use mix in the Retail Commercial category are
intended only to be guidelines, and greater flexibility may be appropriate under site specific conditions.
Land Use Percentage of Acreage Flexibility Allowed
Retail 65% +35%
Office 20% ±20%
Open space 10% ±10%
Civic use 5% ±5%
Total 100%
*These percentages are not regulatory and should only be used as a guide.
REGIONAL RETAIL
Purpose: To preserve and promote quality, high-intensity retail centers along the S.H. 114 corridor that
provide convenient shopping for Southlake residents and to attract residents of neighboring
communities.
DR

S.H. 114 Corridor Plan
xxxx, 2017 Page 15
Definition: The Regional Retail land use category is a higher-intensity commercial category providing for
regional retail shopping facilities that generally draw customers from a very large market area (5 mile
radius or greater). Development within this land use may consist of a single large anchor store (>
100,000 sq. ft.) or have multiple anchor tenants (department, supermarket, drug, home improvement,
sporting, variety, or specialty) along with pad sites developed on the fringe of the area. Other permitted
secondary uses include fast food, restaurants, banks and service stations; however, these uses must be
integrated into the larger primary use. Regional Retail designated areas should have direct access to
State Highway 114. Also, development within the Regional Retail land use category must adhere to
specific design guidelines (see appendix).
Land Use Mix*: The percentages below for the land use mix in the Regional Retail category are intended
only to be guidelines, and greater flexibility may be appropriate under site specific conditions.
Land Use Percentage of Acreage Flexibility Allowed
Retail 90% ±10%
Office 5% ±5%
Open space 5% ±5%
Total 100%
*These percentages are not regulatory and should only be used as a guide.
MIXED USE
Purpose: 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.
Definition: 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 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 previously discussed.
Land Use Mix*: The percentages below for the land use mix in the Mixed Use category are intended
only to be guidelines, and greater flexibility may be appropriate under site specific conditions.
Land Use Percentage of Acreage Flexibility Allowed
Retail 30% ±20%
Office 35% ±30%
Residential 15% ±15%
Open space 15% ±15%
Civic use 5% ±5%
Total 100%
*These percentages are not regulatory and should only be used as a guide.
Scale and Context Criteria:
General:
Buildings and their pedestrian entrances are to be oriented towards internal streets.
Larger-format retail uses (with footprints larger than 40,000 s.f.) shall be located adjacent to
the arterial or highway with pedestrian entrances from internal streets.
Retail and Office Uses:
Pedestrian-oriented or automobile-oriented.
Hotel Uses:
DR
A
F
T
4/1

/
1
7
S.H. 114 Corridor Plan
xxxx, 2017 Page 17
Hotel uses should be full-service hotels at market-driven locations, primarily in the S.H. 114
Corridor. Full-service, for the purposes of this plan, shall be hotels that include a table-
service restaurant within or directly attached to the hotel. Other services or amenities
typically included would be bell service and room service, as well as available meeting space.
The desire is to approve hotels adequate to support market-driven commerce in the City,
paying attention to the product mix such that the hospitality services in the area are
complementary to one another.
Single-family Residential Uses:
Residential uses are to be located between the proposed office or retail uses and existing
residential neighborhoods. These uses are intended to provide a lower intensity transition
between existing neighborhoods and commercial uses.
Residential uses should be well integrated with proposed open space and other civic uses to
create a sense of place.
They should also be integrated with proposed commercial uses in a manner that provides
internal automobile and pedestrian access to convenience commercial uses.
Single-family residential uses are recommended to be to the density and scale that is
appropriate based on the context and character of the proposed overall development.
Open Space:
Consider environmental elements as “features,” rather than constraints.
Emphasis shall be placed on preservation of existing wooded areas and stream corridors.
Avoid channeling or piping of streams.
Streams or creeks should become a focal point rather than the rear of the development.
Provide natural walking paths along stream and creek corridors.
Well designed and integrated open spaces are critical to the creation of successful mixed-
use neighborhoods.
Open spaces should be designed to add value to proposed development and not as an

office uses. Open spaces shall occupy a prominent place in the development of a
neighborhood and form the center pieces of a community.
Open spaces are intended to be the “front-yards” and invite passive recreational activities.
Open spaces may be in the form of pocket parks, children’s play areas, squares, linear
greens, and conservation areas.
Use the topography as an advantage, do not flatten the site.
Preserve views.
Civic Uses:
Civic uses such as day-cares, post office, police substation, local government offices,
churches, etc. are encouraged. Ideally, civic uses should be located centrally in the
development and provide convenient access to all other uses and activities in the
development.

TOWN CENTER
Purpose: The purpose of the Town Center land use district is to
encourage the creation of a pedestrian-oriented, mixed-use urban
environment that serves as Southlake’s downtown and center of
community life.
Definition: The Town Center land use designation is intended to
enhance and promote the development of the community’s
downtown. The goal is to create an attractive, pedestrian-oriented
environment that becomes the center of community life in Southlake. It may include compatibly
designed retail, office, cultural, civic, recreational, hotel and residential uses. All uses shall be developed
with a great attention to design detail and will be integrated into one cohesive district or into distinct
sub-districts, each with its own unique characteristics. A mix of different uses is encouraged to create a
vibrant, lively, and unique environment.
Land Use Mix*: The percentages below for the land use mix in the Town Center category are intended
only to be guidelines, and greater flexibility may be appropriate under site specific conditions.

*These percentages are not regulatory and should only be used as a guide.
Scale and Context Criteria:
Retail Uses:
Pedestrian-oriented retail and service uses.
Office Uses:
Pedestrian-oriented office uses.
Residential Uses:
Residential uses are to be located between the proposed office or retail uses and existing
residential neighborhoods. These uses are intended to provide a lower intensity transition
between existing neighborhoods and commercial uses.
Residential uses should be well integrated with proposed open space and other civic uses to
create a sense of place.
They should also be integrated with proposed commercial uses in a manner that provides
internal automobile and pedestrian access to convenience commercial uses.
Residential uses are recommended to be to the density and scale that is appropriate based
on the context and character of the proposed overall development.
Open Space:
Consider environmental elements as “features,” rather than constraints.
Emphasis shall be placed on preservation of existing wooded areas and stream corridors.
Avoid channeling or piping of streams.
Streams or creeks should become a focal point rather than the rear of the development.

INDUSTRIAL
Purpose and Definition: Industrial and business service development that is relatively free of unwanted
side effects, such as unsightliness, noise, odor, glare, vibrations, etc., is permitted in the Industrial
category. If meeting the qualification of relatively free of unwanted side effects, suitable types of
development in the Industrial category can be characterized by the manufacturing, processing,
packaging, assembly, storage, warehousing and/or distribution of products. Ancillary commercial and
retail activities associated with these uses are permitted. Public Parks / Open Space and Public / Semi-
Public activities as described above may be permitted if surrounding industrial uses do not pose hazards
and are sufficiently buffered.
OPTIONAL LAND USE CATEGORIES AND DEFINITIONS
The following Optional Land Use Categories, or Overlays, were developed using the Southlake 2035 Plan
Vision, Goals and Objectives as a guide, as well as the recommendations of the Economic Development
Master Plan, which was the first Southlake 2035 element to be adopted. Using market studies
commissioned by City Council, the Economic Development Master Plan assessed the areas in which the
Southlake marketplace is oversaturated, such as retail, and recommends a focus on target growth
industries to build and sustain both the daytime and resident population of Southlake.
The target industries, which include corporate offices, information technology, biotechnology, high-
value services firms, research and development, restaurants and restaurant clusters, and medical, health
and wellness, have been developed as Land Use overlay recommendations for the 114 Corridor. While
existing land use designations were largely retained, three new overlay districts were created and
applied based on the recommendations of the Southlake 2035 Economic Development Master Plan.
CORPORATE OFFICE OVERLAY
Purpose and Definition: The Corporate Office Cluster category is a commercial overlay category
designed and intended for the use of high-quality, medium to large-scale office buildings or campuses
and their ancillary uses and structures. This district is inherently suited for the development of office
developments 50,000 square feet or larger for the use of corporate or regional headquarters,
professional services firms, financial firms, information technology and media companies, biomedical
companies, and other users which drive demand for medium to large-scale office buildings or campuses.
Ideally, such developments will be located in areas adjacent to and contiguous with existing users of the
same type and scale to create a critical mass of daytime population within the city. These uses will be
DR

xxxx, 2017 Page 23
well-connected to the existing highway and arterial street network, with the buildings themselves
typically presenting one or more significant façades along the 114 Corridor.
The Corporate Office Cluster generally consists of three typologies of office development, Campus
Office, Multi-Tenant Office and Multi-Story Office. These definitions are not regulatory and are intended
only to be guidelines. Greater flexibility may be appropriate under site specific conditions.
CAMPUS OFFICE BUILDINGS
Campus Office
The Campus Office overlay category is a commercial overlay category designed and intended for the use
of high-quality, medium to large-scale office buildings or campuses and their ancillary uses and
structures. This district is inherently suited for the development of built-to-suit office developments
100,000 square feet or larger for the use of corporate or regional headquarters, professional services
firms, financial firms, information technology and media companies, biomedical companies, and other
users which drive demand for medium to large-scale office buildings or campuses.
Generally characterized by 2-4 story buildings that have a Floor-to-area ratio (FAR) under 1, with highly
integrated green space as a key feature of the design, parking structures or underground parking
DR

dispersed and/or separated from the main building, horizontally-integrated floor plans, more subdued
low-impact building design, and the presence of multiple buildings or building wings if accomplished in
an environmentally sensitive manner. Amenities such as walking trails, open space, plazas, water
features, special roadway and sidewalk treatments, and unique landscaping should be incorporated into
the development.
In most cases campus office type development is envisioned to occur near or adjacent to established
neighborhoods. While it is understood that developments of this scale and size will change the
development characteristics in the area, special attention must be paid to designing the development in
a manner that addresses neighborhood adjacency concerns. This may be accomplished by preserving
natural buffers or establishing new buffers, installing low-level lighting, locating buildings and parking
structures in a manner which will create the least impact, including locating parking structures
underground, and designing traffic circulation to disperse traffic or focus it on higher-capacity roads
which create the least impact on residential properties.

The Multi-Tenant Office category is a commercial overlay category designed and intended for the use of
high-quality, medium to large-scale office buildings of 2-4 stories that may be build-to-suit or speculative
(“spec”) built. These office developments are envisioned to be 50,000 square feet or larger in either a
standalone or office park configuration, and are for the use of corporate offices, professional services
firms, financial firms, information technology and media companies, biomedical companies, research
and development, medical office, and other users which drive demand for medium to large-scale office
buildings. These buildings are less prominent than high-rise office with floor layouts that are designed
for maximum user flexibility.
HIGH RISE BUILDINGS
High-Rise Office
Generally characterized by 5+ story buildings having a FAR of 1-5, smaller floor plates, below-ground or
concentrated parking areas or structures integrated with the building, highly visible or iconic building
design features, and more concentrated or delineated open spaces. Greater building heights may be
considered if open space and tree preservation are increased on the site and signature design features
or amenities are provided. Some ancillary retail may be allowed in this district if it is intended to support
or be supported by the primary office users.

MEDICAL AND WELLNESS DISTRICT OVERLAY
The Medical Cluster category is an overlay category designed and intended for the concentration of local
to regional healthcare and related facilities, including Medical/Wellness, specialty surgical centers,
pediatric care, geriatric care of an outpatient nature, research and development facilities including those
operated in partnership with a hospital, university, or other similar institutions, and health, beauty and
wellness clinics and facilities. Retail and office should be strictly limited to uses which support the
primary medical facilities. By its nature, the Medical Cluster is intended to foster collaboration and
multiplication of benefits by locating medical services and disciplines in close proximity to each other,
thereby benefitting both the institutions and the patients they serve. The Medical Cluster is envisioned
to provide the greatest benefits when used in close proximity to existing medical facilities such as those
clustered around the 114 Corridor between N. Carroll Avenue and N. White Chapel Avenue.

RESTAURANT AND SPECIALTY RETAIL OVERLAY
The Restaurant and Culinary Cluster category is a commercial overlay category designed and intended
for the concentration of unique dining options not otherwise found in Southlake’s established retail and
restaurant centers. The purpose of this category is to foster the development of a dynamic, destination
restaurant district. This district should feature mostly independent, local restaurants offering diverse
and healthy cuisine in a sit-down format, which may also include aspects of culinary tourism or

educational components up to and including schools offering training in culinary arts. The cluster may
provide for incubation of new businesses and concepts which might otherwise struggle to operate in
more traditional retail commercial spaces. Physical aspects of this district may include proximity to
Community Services uses, proximity to niche retail, frontage onto shared space for dining or gathering
rather than streets, and shared parking.
In areas of the district which are located east of N. Carroll Ave., up to 30% of the land area may be
suitable for retail operations that are boutique or specialized in character, such as specialty grocers or
home goods stores. Boutique hotels may also be considered, particularly if they can be integrated into
and serve areas hosting a concentration of tourists or visitors, such as a restaurant cluster or medical
cluster.

incubator, and possibly a culinary
school component, along with
specialty retail and health and
wellness uses consistent with target
industries as identified in the
Economic Development Master Plan.
Design process for the non-residential
portion of Carillon should focus on
preserving natural tree stands and
utilizing existing trees to create
inviting open spaces. Restaurant
cluster is envisioned with common
use outdoor eating and gathering
space utilizing natural and manmade
features. In all overlays, a central park
or greenspace may include public
facilities not already discussed which
offer a variety of cultural experiences.

4.0 Mobility Recommendations
“Mobility” refers to the City’s transportation network and includes automotive, pedestrian, bicycle and
other alternative modes of transportation. Over the past several decades, the physical, social and
economic success Southlake has experienced can be attributed in part to the City's transportation
network. The highways, streets, paths, railway and proximity to the Dallas-Fort Worth International
Airport that provide mobility within the City and access to points beyond have caused Southlake to
transition from a relatively isolated community at its incorporation to a premier City in the DFW
Metroplex and beyond. However, the same transportation network has also created adverse side
effects: traffic congestion due to regional travel patterns, increased pollutant emissions and high stress
levels due to commuting.
4.1 Roadways in the F.M. Corridors
As previously discussed, S.H. 114 is a major roadway corridor in the City of Southlake and in the region
of Northeast Tarrant County. According to the Master Thoroughfare Plan, S.H. 114 is classified as a
highway with 300 to 500 feet of right of way. There are also many other important arterials in the City
that cross this plan area and also S.H. 114 such as Carroll Avenue, Kimball Avenue and White Chapel
Boulevard. The thoroughfare designations for these major roadways as well as other streets in the S.H.
114 Corridor Plan Area are illustrated in the following map.

MAP 7: EXISTING MASTER THOROUGHFARE PLAN FOR THE S.H. 114 CORRIDOR
4.1.1 Major Corridors Urban Design Plan
A key component of the Southlake 2035 Comprehensive Plan is the Urban Design Master Plan. This plan
will be an update to the 2008 Urban Design Plan which contained several recommendations for the 114
Corridor. Because the 2035 Land Use Plan runs ahead of the new Urban Design Master Plan, urban
design recommendations for the 114 Corridor are introduced here and will be carried forward to the
new Urban Design Plan as scheduled.
4.1.2 Major Corridors Urban Design Plan: S.H. 114 Enhancements
Although many of the recommendations of the 2008 Urban Design Plan were implemented, there are
still numerous opportunities to enhance the primary roadway through the city. This will be best realized
with a combination of public and private enhancements which could take the form of landscaping,
bridge design, and corner features identifying developments at major intersections. During the
development of the 114 Corridor plan, several recommendations were discussed which are noted in the
following section. These recommendations will be built upon and expanded with the development of
the Southlake 2035 Urban Design Plan.

Specific to Highway 114, there are still opportunities for landscaping and design enhancements at key
intersections such as F.M. 1709, Dove Rd., and Kirkwood Blvd. Recent highway projects in the DFW area
such as the George Bush Turnkpike and the Chisolm Trail Parkway in southern Tarrant and northern
Johnson counties provide examples of high-quality freeway design and landscaping.
Chisolm Trail Parkway
Other than Highway 114 itself, one of the areas in the corridor with the greatest potential for
enhancement is the Kirkwood Boulevard corridor. Although not complete, this roadway will eventually
link Solana to the north with the Kimball Ave. corridor to the south. In between, the roadway winds
through a growing cluster of corporate and regional headquarters and office buildings, including One
Kirkwood, Sabre, and TD Ameritrade. These developments all linked by a single roadway create an
opportunity for creative branding of the Kirkwood Corridor through signage, lighting, and landscaping.
Examples of professional district branding are found in the following images.

4.2 Pathways in the S.H. 114 Corridor
The City of Southlake places a high priority on sidewalks and trails for both mobility and recreation.
Currently the City has an approved Sidewalk Pathways Plan which indicates the location of future
sidewalk facilities in the City and priorities these facilities for construction. Also, the City of Southlake
ensures construction of sidewalks by the following actions: 1) allocates approximately $400,000 annually
for the construction of trails and sidewalks in the CIP (Capital Improvements Program); 2) seeks grants
for funding; 3) requires new development to construct sidewalks along public streets adjacent to the
site; 4) implemented the sidewalk matching program (a 50% cost sharing program for the design and
construction of sidewalks within neighborhoods); and 5) implemented the Sidewalk Partnership
program (promotes the dedication of easements by citizens and business for the construction of
sidewalks). The map below shows the existing Pathways Plan for the S.H. 114 Corridor.
MAP 8: EXISTING PATHWAYS PLAN
As shown in the map above, the primary east-west route for pedestrian mobility is found along S.H. 114
and also the future Kirkwood Boulevard. However, the sidewalks adjacent to S.H. 114 have several
missing segments and will be built as development occurs along the highway.

5.0 Environmental Resource
Recommendations
Environmental sustainability is vital to the current and long term financial health of the City and the
physical and emotional health of area residents. As such, the City of Southlake places a high priority on
the protection and conservation of the community’s natural assets. “Environmental resources” in this
section primarily refers to natural amenities, such as trees, water, soil, air, and wildlife. A more detailed
discussion on sustainability, including topics such as energy use, waste reduction, and recycling, may be
found in the Sustainability Plan. The primary environmental resource issues in the S.H. 114 corridor are
protection of the floodplain and preservation and enhancement of the existing tree canopy. Several
creeks drain into Grapevine Lake with a significant area in the 100 year flood plain running near S.H. 114
and East Highland Street and adjacent to the mixed use development, Carillon, presenting unique
opportunities and challenges.
Many of the trees are found adjacent to the floodplain, as shown in the map below. Most of these
trees are characteristic of the Cross Timbers ecosystem, including Post Oaks, Blackjack Oaks, Cedar Elms,
American Elms, Hackberries, Pecans, and Cottonwoods.
In addition, significant grade changes in the S.H. 114 Corridor present challenges. Specifically, along S.H.
114 itself, a steep grade separates the highway from the adjacent properties particularly towards the
western half of S.H. 114 within the City limits. This grade change will require special consideration for
any proposed development.

SPIN MEETING REPORT
SPIN Item Number: SPIN2017-12
City Case Number: CP17-004
Project Name: Southlake 2035 State Highway 114 Corridor Plan
SPIN Neighborhoods: City-Wide
Meeting Date: May 9, 2017
Meeting Location: 1400 Main Street, Southlake, TX
City Council Chambers
Total Attendance: Six (6)
Host: Sherry Berman, Community Engagement Committee
Applicant Presenting: David Jones, AICP, City of Southlake Principal Planner
City Staff Present: Lorrie Fletcher, Planner; David Jones, Principal Planner and Om
Chhetri, Civil Engineer
Town Hall Forums can be viewed in their entirety by visiting http://www.cityofsouthlake.com and clicking
on “I Want to” and “View” “Video on Demand” – forums are listed under SPIN by meeting date.
FORUM SUMMARY:
The S.H. 114 Corridor Plan is the first of six sector plans adopted during the Southlake 2035
process. The plan encompasses approximately 1,878 acres that are adjacent to S.H. 114. The
most prominent land uses include commercial activities and residential uses; although a
significant portion of the plan area is classified as vacant or underdeveloped. As such, the
primary objectives for planning in the S.H. 114 corridor are maintaining high development and
urban design standards, buffering residential uses from the roadway corridor and commercial
uses, and ensuring continued quality growth. The Plan further addresses the unique
characteristics and challenges of the S.H. 114 corridor and provides specific planning
recommendations in regard to land use, mobility, environmental resources, as well as parks,
recreation and open space.
For the Southlake 2035 Future Land Use plan, three optional land use categories were
developed to align the plan with the Economic Development Plan adopted in 2016 and the
Tourism Plan adopted in 2017. The three optional land use categories are the Medical and
Wellness Overlay, the Restaurant and Specialty Retail Overlay, and the Office Overlay, which is
further broken out into Campus Office, Multi-Tenant Office, and High-Rise Office. These
overlays would not have an effect on the existing property zoning.
Exhibits presented at SPIN:
FUTURE LAND USE RECOMMENDATIONS:
In all, nine (9) site-specific recommendations are being proposed with the 114 Corridor Plan,
with other general recommendations for land use, mobility, and environmental conservation.
