PROJECT: Land Use Plan Amendment for Highland Corner EXECUTIVE
SUMMARY: On behalf of Resort Homes of Texas LP, G&A Consultants, LLC is requesting
approval of a Land Use Plan Amendment from Medium Density Residential and
Mixed Use to Office Commercial for Highland Corner on property described as
Tract 2C, T. Mahan Survey, Abstract No. 1049, and Lot 1A1A, Hanna Addition,
City of Southlake, Tarrant County, Texas and located at 2149 E. Highland Street
and 1030 N. Kimball Avenue, Southlake, Texas. Current Zoning: “AG”
Agricultural District. Proposed Zoning: “S-P-1” Detailed Site Plan District. SPIN
Neighborhood #4.
DETAILS: The proposed development is located on the SW corner of E Highland St. and N
Kimball Ave.
The purpose of the request is to gain approval of a Land Use Plan Amendment to
accommodate an eight (8) lot office development. The proposed development
consists of eight (8) lots to include seven (7) general/medical office buildings (lots
1-7) and one (1) X lot on approximately 6.068 acres. An associated application
for a Zoning Change and Site Plan (ZA17-043) and a Preliminary Plat (ZA17-
042) are concurrently being considered for the site.
The Medium Density Residential land use category is defined by the Southlake
2030 Comprehensive Plan as:
“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.”
The Mixed Use land use category is defined by the Southlake 2030
Comprehensive Plan as:
“The Mixed Use category is suitable for a range of activities being 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

permitted if designed to be compatible with adjacent uses. Other suitable
activities are those permitted in the Public Parks/Open Space, Public/Semi-

and Office Commercial categories.”
Existing Land Use Designations – Medium Density Residential and Mixed Use
The applicant’s proposed development complies with the Office Commercial land
use category, which is defined by the Future Land Use Plan as:
“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 suitable activities
are those permitted in the Public Parks/Open Space and Public/Semi-Public
categories”.
