The F.M. Corridor Plan is divided into the following sections: 1) Introduction 5) Environmental Resource 2) Planning Challenges and Issues Recommendations 3) Land Use Recommendations 6) Parks, Recreation and Open Space Recommendations 4) Mobility Recommendations Sector Plannina and Land Use Plannin 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 a categories. The plan serves as a guide to all decision making as it pertains to the City's future o development and is thoroughly reviewed approximately every 4 years. :° 0 U 1 Southlake 2035 1 Ordinance No. 1183 Adopted on xxxxx, 2017 The City of Southlake approaches land use planning through sector planning, a method which divides the City into sectors (or corridors) 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 (or corridor 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. SO,U-ITH L AKE 2 0 2 5 I-` ADr, Planning Today for a Better Tomorrow Sector planning was first implemented in Southlake during the development of the Southlake 2025 Plan in 2004. However, the F.M. 1709 and F.M. 1938 corridors were first identified as a single study area during the development of the Southlake 2030 comprehensive plan update. Consequently, the first F.M. 1709 and F.M. 1938 Corridor Plan was adopted in September 2011 as part of the Southlake 2030 Plan. d203Q F.M. 1709 and F.M. 1938 Corridor Plan Adopted by City Council on September 20, 2011 Qrdina nce Nu- 1012 This comprehensive plan update, the Southlake 2035 Plan, includes the same sectors established under the Southlake 2030 Plan with small changes to plan boundaries. This includes four sector plans (West, North, Central, and Southeast) and two corridor plans (S.H. 114 Corridor and F.M. Corridors). 2 Southlake 2035 1 Ordinance No. 1183 Adopted on xxxxxx, 2017 MAP 1: SOUTHLAKE 2030 AND SOUTHLAKE 2035 PLANNING SECTORS a W BOB JONE5 RD 6 t7 114 W'DOVE RD —E DOVE RD a s � z d Y O E HIGHLAND s D—OJOFLORENCE.

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 / Community Facilities 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. 3 Southlake 2035 1 Ordinance No. 1183 Adopted on xxxxx, 2017 Relationship to the 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. (See Appendix B for enlarged image) CITY OF SOUTH LAKE STRATEGY MAP The City of SouthlAe provides municipal services that support the highest quality of life 1�riolfor our residents, businesses, and visitors. We do this by being an exemplary model of lbalancing efficiency, fiscal responsibility, transparency, and sustainability. 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 shown above. The Strategic Management System guided the development of the Southlake 2035 Vision, Goals and Objectives (VGO), which define a desired direction for growth in the City. All recommendations in the Southlake 2030 and subsequent Southlake 2035 plans are tied to at least one Strategic Focus Area from the Strategic Management System and at least one objective from the adopted Southlake 2035 Vision, Goals and Objectives. The recommendations from the comprehensive plan elements guide the development of the Capital Improvements Program (a five-year plan for the purchase, _o construction or replacement of the City's physical assets) as well as a departmental business plans. In turn, the Capital Improvements �° Program and departmental business plans dictate the City's day-to- 0 day activities and operations, ensuring the City is working to achieve the community's goals. LL 4 Southlake 2035 1 Ordinance No. 1183 Adopted on xxxxxx, 2017 Further, the Southlake 2035 Comprehensive Plan assists the City Council, Boards and Commissions in decision-making by establishing a blueprint for the City's future. 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. From 2004 through 2010, Vision North Texas 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 ). Additional information on North Texas 2050 and Vision North Texas is available at www.visionnorthtexas.org. Adoption Process The City Council appointed the 2035 Corridor Planning Committee to oversee the update of the S.H. 114 Corridor Plan and the F.M. 1709 and F.M. 1938 Corridor Plan, the first two sector plans developed during the Southlake 2035 comprehensive plan update. The Corridor Planning Committee's first task was to develop the Southlake 2035 Plan Vision, Goals and Objectives. The committee used the Southlake 2030 Plan Vision, Goals, and Objectives as a foundation; making modifications to reflect changes in the community over the last several years and to address the expansion of the comprehensive plan's scope. Next, the committee developed the S.H. 114 Corridor Plan, which was approved by City Council on June 20', 2017. Following the S.H. 114 Corridor Plan, the committee reviewed and updated the Southlake 2030 F.M. 1709 and F.M. 1938 Corridor Plan, using the Vision, Goals and Objectives as a guide. Recommendations from previously approved plans, including the Southlake 2030 Carroll/1709 Small Area Plan, Southlake 2035 Economic Development Master Plan, Southlake 2035 Tourism Master Plan, and newly adopted Southlake 2035 S.H. 114 Corridor Plan were reviewed and guided the development of the plan as well. Recent development additions and trends were also considered in drafting recommendations for the F.M. 1709 and F.M. 1938 corridors. The committee held meetings between August 7, 2017 and to develop, review, and discuss the recommendations for the F.M. 1709 and F.M. 1938 Corridor Plan. All of these meetings M were open to the public and advertised on the City's website. The committee also hosted an open a house and held a Southlake Program for the Involvement of Neighborhoods (SPIN) Town Hall Forum.°a to solicit stakeholder input. SPIN forums foster open and timely communication between the citizens o and city government regarding programs and issues affecting the quality of life in the community, u encouraging positive relations and a stronger sense of community. After incorporating stakeholder 5 Southlake 2035 1 Ordinance No. 1183 Adopted on xxxxx, 2017 input, the Committee forwarded the plan to the Planning & Zoning Commission for consideration and recommendation and ultimately to City Council for consideration and approval. Both the Planning & Zoning Commission and the City Council held public hearings prior to adoption by City Council as Ordinance No. on 2017. In summary, the approval process for the F.M. 1709 and F.M. 1938 Corridor Plan was as follows: 1) 2035 Corridor Planning Committee meetings 2) SPIN Town Hall Forum 3) Planning & Zoning Commission recommendation 4) City Council 1 st reading 5) City Council 2nd reading (final plan approval) 6 Southlake 2035 1 Ordinance No. 1183 Adopted on xxxxxx, 2017 Introduction to the Corridors The F.M. 1709 Corridor generally includes properties fronting F.M. 1709 or non-residential developments with access onto F.M. 1709 between Players Circle and Carroll Avenue. The F.M. 1938 Corridor includes properties adjacent to Davis Boulevard as well as a few properties north of F.M. 1709 adjacent to Randol Mill Avenue. However, some of the recommendations in this plan encompass all properties adjacent to the entire length of F.M. 1709 and/or F.M. 1938 within Southlake's city limits. The boundaries of the two corridor plan areas are simply provided to assist in focusing the land use discussion when considering smaller areas or individual properties. Character of the Corridors The F.M. 1709 and F.M. 1938 Corridors are generally characterized by office and retail uses. Office uses are mostly found immediately adjacent to F.M. 1709, and primarily include neighborhood services and medical offices. One of Southlake's major medical centers, Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital, is located at the eastern boundary of the plan area across the street from Southlake Town Square. Texas Health Southlake is a multi -specialty surgical hospital, including physical therapy services and a 24-hour emergency room. Retail uses in the plan area are primarily located near intersections. The two largest concentrations of retail and restaurant uses are found at the intersection of F.M. 1709 and F.M. 1938 and at the intersection of F.M. 1709 and Carroll Avenue. The retail cluster at F.M. 1709 and F.M. 1938 includes a small retail strip center called Parker's Corner as well as larger neighborhood centers Jellico Square and Southlake Marketplace. Jellico Square is anchored by Sprouts Farmers Market. Southlake Marketplace is anchored by Hobby Lobby and a second anchor lease space of approximately 59,000 square feet that is currently vacant. This space was formerly occupied by a Walmart Neighborhood Market. Southlake Marketplace M The second, and largest, retail cluster in the plan area is located at the intersection of F.M. 1709 and a Carroll Avenue. This area includes three lifestyle centers, which are defined by the International Council of Shopping Centers (ICSC) as "multi-purpose leisure -time destination(s), including c restaurants, entertainment, and design ambience and amenities such as fountains and street furniture that are conducive to casual browsing." These centers include: 7 Southlake 2035 1 Ordinance No. 1183 Adopted on xxxxx, 2017 Southlake Town Square Southlake Town Square is the core of the city's retail, dining, and entertainment uses. It is a super -regional shopping destination that pulls in consumers from around the DFW Metroplex, and as far as Oklahoma. It is currently Southlake's only true walkable, pedestrian - friendly mixed-use development, with retail, restaurant, office, residential, and civic uses all in one place. Shops of Southlake The Shops of Southlake provides a shopping ,. j experience that complements Town Square across the street, with a park and fountain fronting Southlake Boulevard. The design of Shops of Southlake can be viewed as a quasi -lifestyle center, although it does not have the same pedestrian friendly nature and urban grid that has been constructed at Town Square. Park Village Located southwest of Southlake Town Square, Park Village is anchored by REI and Michaels and is supported by several restaurants that are new to Southlake. This site also includes a large fountain that has been designed to perform lighted, synchronized displays. The aforementioned office and retail uses are all adjacent to F.M. 1709. The area south of F.M. 1709 along the F.M. 1938 corridor, however, is less intensely developed. This area was previously characterized primarily by industrial uses, limited retail/office uses, and undeveloped or underdeveloped properties. Although these uses are still present, the addition of two neighborhoods (Ridgeview and Hidden Knoll) is changing the character of the area. Further, the improvements to F.M. 1938 are also expected to drive new development and redevelopment in this section of the plan area. The largest concentrations of residential uses are found in the neighborhoods of Ridgeview and Hidden Knoll off of Davis Boulevard, Woodbury Estates off of Continental Boulevard, and Winding Creek off of Carroll Avenue. There are also several individual large lot home sites in the plan area. 8 Southlake 2035 1 Ordinance No. 1183 Adopted on xxxxxx, 2017 Residential Property on Davis Boulevard Preliminary Anal To fully understand the development issues facing the F.M. 1709 and F.M. 1938 corridors, an analysis of existing conditions is critical. The following section provides an overview of the existing land uses and zoning as well as a description of recent development changes in the corridors. Development Status The plan area is 87% developed, with 741 acres classified as developed vs. 109 acres classified as undeveloped as illustrated in the following map: C M a i O �i i O V LL 9 Southlake 2035 1 Ordinance No. 1183 Adopted on xxxxx, 2017 i 1 0"22O 3 5 E I HIGHLAND 5 N Y Q p Q ? = w a U FM 9 ■ w 4 CMTHLAKE.f Lip J O d U AmnpMerave pan Mall rid canmMezcning repula9 q[ehtlgA �a��eta ma,m, weaay �manea to eea �,�me arm pne�m� �a�e n,ay ma r ala�.�.�aalaa PRaseMn W IYre 3W�IeNe3l9@ Plan xdell rta rxnpmem elxmnb ixxlbwnal iMmnWim.

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.

E LL 15 Southlake 2035 1 Ordinance No. 1183 Adopted on xxxxx, 2017 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. Completion of F.M. 1938 � 1938 The development of F.M. 1938 from a 2 -lane undivided cross section to a variable width, divided regional thoroughfare with raised curb medians north of F.M. 1709 has changed the character of the surrounding area from a rural appearance to a more urban appearance. View of F.M. 1938 prior to construction View of F.M. 1938 under construction In addition, the establishment of a new direct connection from F.M. 1709 to S.H. 114 will allow residents and visitors on the west side of Southlake to have faster, easier access to S.H. 114. Accordingly, completion of the roadway is expected to significantly increase traffic counts on F.M. 1938. This increase may drive growth and redevelopment in the F.M. 1938 corridor, particularly south of F.M. 1709. However, F.M. 1938 south of F.M. 1709 is not a part of the F.M. 1938 construction project and is a 7 lane facility with a center turn lane (no F.M. 1938 Median Concept Highways for Life Grant The F.M. 1938 project was awarded a 2009 Highways for Life grant by the Federal Highway Administration for its use of new innovative technologies that are expected to extend the life of the roadway and enhance air quality. These new technologies include optimized graded concrete, improved compaction of base materials, special linings between the base and pavement, special pavement curing formulas, and improved roadway texturing and grooving. The project is a partnership between TxDOT and Tarrant County, the North Central Texas Council of Governments and the cities of Keller, Southlake and Westlake. 16 Southlake 2035 1 Ordinance No. 1183 Adopted on xxxxxx, 2017 medians). This type of lane configuration creates additional vehicle conflict points. The Major Corridors Urban Design Plan recommended landscaped medians on F.M. 1938 south of F.M. 1709, which would improve safety and provide the opportunity to improve the visual appearance of the corridor. � d We row � •,�a-i,� :a��naw�c�iQ Median concept for Davis Boulevard from the Major Corridors Urban Design Plan Pedestrian Mobility and Safety In recent years, pedestrian mobility along F.M. 1709 has improved greatly due to the construction of missing sidewalk segments as part of the deceleration lane construction project and through the Statewide Transportation Enhancement Program (STEP) F.M. 1709 sidewalk project. STEP is a competitive funding program administered by the Texas Department of Transportation for certain transportation related activities, such as sidewalks, bicycle lanes, landscaping, historic preservation, and environmental mitigation. The City of Southlake's F.M. 1709 sidewalk completion project was selected for funding as part of the 2009 program. To date, there are three remaining sidewalk segments and the City is working on plans to complete those segments. Upon completion, Southlake will have a continuous sidewalk system along both sides of F.M. 1709 from the city boundary with Keller to the city boundary with Grapevine. Along F.M. 1938 north of F.M. 1709, there is an 8 foot trail on the east side of the roadway and a 5 foot sidewalk on the west side of the roadway. Any missing segments are being completed with the construction of the F.M. 1938 expansion project and will link to the trail and sidewalk system in Westlake. However, south of F.M. 1709, sidewalks on the east side of the roadway end at the Ridgeview/Knoll subdivisions and there are very few sidewalk segments on the west side of the roadway. With the completion of the sidewalk and trail system north of F.M. 1709 and the addition of the Ridgeview and Hidden Knoll 17 Southlake 2035 1 Ordinance No. 1183 Adopted on xxxxx, 2017 subdivisions, there is an increased need for pedestrian mobility in this area. Sidewalks along the east side of F.M. 1938 would provide access to shopping and services (at the corner of Continental and F.M. 1938) as well as access to Koalaty Park and Carroll Elementary School. Build -out of the Corridor As a city reaches build -out, there tends to be less emphasis on managing growth and development and more emphasis on maintaining community character, enhancing urban design, preserving neighborhoods, providing educational, cultural and recreational opportunities, maintaining and improving infrastructure, managing congestion, and supporting economic development. All of these aspects are important for maintaining and improving quality of life. In the F.M. 1709 and F.M. 1938 Corridor planning area, F.M. 1709 and F.M. 1938 play an important role in quality of life. These major roadways are important beyond simple traffic movement — they help support the goals of the community. Major roadways with pleasing landscaping, urban design elements, and attractive, safe sidewalks or trails improve visitors' impressions of the community and can reduce driver stress levels. Alternatively, roadways that are poorly maintained or overly congested leave a negative impression and may also be less safe. Congestion, poor aesthetics, and the appearance of reduced safety (either real or assumed), can seriously harm a city's ability to thrive. The Major Corridors Urban Design Plan noted the "need for increased attention to both safety and aesthetics in order to preserve the long-term viability of the city's commercial corridors and preserve its neighborhoods". As Southlake continues to approach build -out, continued emphasis on the aesthetics, safety, and roadway performance of F.M. 1709 and F.M. 1938 is critical. As a specific example, landscaped medians along F.M. 1938 south of F.M. 1709 would improve the appearance of the corridor as well as improve the safety of the roadway. In addition, the implementation of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) to handle traffic demand would reduce congestion and improve pedestrian and bicycle safety. ITS is the application of various technologies to improve the safety, mobility and efficiency of roadways. 18 Southlake 2035 1 Ordinance No. 1183 Adopted on xxxxxx, 2017 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 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 Desianations and Site Specific Recommendations The City of Southlake has twelve underlying land use designations: Corps of Engineers Public Parks/Open Space Public/Semi-Public Low Density Residential Medium Density Residential Office Commercial Retail Commercial Regional Retail Mixed Use Town Center Industrial Floodplain These land use designations provide general guidelines for the character of uses in the City. Since these guidelines are intentionally broad, they do not adequately address the unique circumstances of all areas within the city. In some specific locations, additional guidance is necessary and takes the form of site specific guidelines and/or optional land use designations. In the F.M. 1709 and F.M. 1938 Corridor Plan, there are no applicable optional land use designation changes but there are site specific guidelines for certain locations. These locations and associated recommendations are included in the Land Use Recommendations Table and are noted on the land use map. Of particular note are some properties with the Medium Density Residential land use designation. Historically, the Medium Density Residential land use category allowed limited retail and office uses along with residential uses. In the Southlake 2025 Plan, office and retail uses were allowed as follows: "Limited low intensity office and/or retail uses may be permitted provided that the nature of the commerce is to support the surrounding neighborhood and that the area is sufficiently buffered from adjacent residential property. Such non-residential uses must be compatible with and not intrusive to the adjacent residential uses." With the adoption of the Southlake 2030 Plan, the Medium Density 19 Southlake 2035 1 Ordinance No. 1183 Adopted on xxxxx, 2017 Residential land use category specified that "Limited office and/or retail uses may be appropriate only in areas with a site specific recommendation to allow such uses." For a complete discussion of all land use categories, please refer to the Consolidated Land Use Plan. In addition, the applicable recommendations from the Carroll/1709 Small Area Plan (a component of the Southlake 2030 Plan) are also included in the Land Use Recommendations Table.

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. Roadways in the F.M. Corridors As previously discussed, F.M. 1938 and F.M. 1709 are two of the three major roadway corridors in the City of Southlake. According to the Master Thoroughfare Plan, F.M. 1938 is classified as a parkway with 140 feet of right of way north of F.M. 1709 and as an arterial with 130 feet of right of way south of F.M. 1709. F.M. 1709 is classified as an arterial with 130 feet of right of way. The thoroughfare designations for the City are illustrated in the following map. 29 Southlake 2035 1 Ordinance No. 1183 Adopted on xxxxx, 2017 n � 11 II •. � � 5 MIN ■ it ml IIIP9u `__ ' ' _ u• IIT u� nilm' ■ , t ■ Imr.. sS -fIIRI = � �1156 JR �.�. � • 1 1 ■ 1 �., Je■dI�d ■r �� ''H I 1 � `�. 1 i1aing mal ;� �'�inl � r • r - r - • - w - r f � !� IdIN � '�h'a�in"'1 f�' • f ��' �.� � a ,�' a■ til r ' 1 WE�' i1GC:l1 i ��N��-l� � sem,; �xrywl� u ■s�{�F_� I�� ` � E3 '�1 SII �iNflul - a 1 nn■ IRF�G ticrkx 1 ' I � - err u "'••C L�;� 1 � rgM11NMI 6 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 Major Corridors Urban Design Plan which contained several recommendations for the F.M. 1709 and F.M. 1938 corridors. Because the 2035 Land Use Plan runs ahead of the new Urban Design Master Plan, urban design recommendations for the F.M. corridors are introduced here and will be carried forward to the new Urban Design Plan as scheduled. One of the important recommendations from the 2008 Major Corridors Urban Design Plan was the construction of medians along F.M. 1938 south of F.M. 1709. As previously discussed, medians have the potential to enhance the aesthetics of the corridor and improve safety. The image below shows the proposed locations of medians along F.M. 1938 south of F.M. 1709 from the Major Corridors Urban Design Plan. 30 Southlake 2035 1 Ordinance No. 1183 Adopted on xxxxxx, 2017 4, • '•JUS �'�� - � �,�,�� 4 r �' • . t� aff�`y � � 1. �� •�#41� Ff�y^ e4, owl v i r In Or vr,.

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) a seeks grants for funding; 3) requires new development to construct sidewalks along public streets c adjacent to the site; 4) implemented the sidewalk matching program (a 50% cost sharing program for 2 •i the design and construction of sidewalks within neighborhoods); and 5) implemented the Sidewalk c Partnership program (promotes the dedication of easements by citizens and business for the construction of sidewalks).
