SOUTHLAKE 2030: Consolidated Land Use Plan
The Southlake 2030 Future Land Use Plan designates this property as
Industrial. 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. The development as proposed appears to be consistent with the
intent of the land use designation at this location.
STAFF COMMENTS: A SPIN meeting was not held for this property.
The Specific Use Permit Review Summary No. 2, dated September 1, 2017
is located in Attachment C of this Staff Report.
Note: A specific use permit shall auto matically expire if a building permit is
