Subject: Item 18 – Consider Ordinance No. 1183, (CP17-006), the City of
Southlake FM 1709/1938 Corridor Land Use Plan, an element of
the Southlake 2035 Comprehensive Plan.
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. A public open house to receive
input on the plan was October 9th with approximately 30 people in
