Requested: Approval on 2nd reading of the Southlake 2035 FM 1709 — FM 1938

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 — FM 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
