Action Requested: Recommend approval of the Southlake 2035 S.H. FM 1709/1938 Corridor Plan. Background Information: 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. The 2035 FM 1709/1938 Corridor Plan is the second of six sector plans being considered during the Southlake 2035 Land Use Plan update. The SH 114 Corridor Plan was adopted by City Council on June 20, 2017. Financial Considerations: None. The plan was developed by the Southlake 2035 Corridor Planning Committee. Strategic Link: The FM 1709/198 Corridor Plan relates to all focus areas of the strategy map. Citizen Input/ Board Review: Development of the FM 1709/1938 Corridor Plan was overseen by the Corridor Planning Committee. All Committee meetings were open to the public. The committee met on August 7th, August 31st, and October 4th of 2017 to discuss the S.H. 114 Corridor.
