CASE NO: CP17-007
PROJECT: Land Use Plan Amendment for 105 and 109 Brock Dr. EXECUTIVE
SUMMARY: Michael Quinones is requesting 1st Reading approval of a Land Use Plan
Amendment from Low Density Residential to Medium Density Residential on
property described as Lot 9, Brock Addition, an addition to the City of Southlake,
Tarrant County, Texas and located at 105 and 109 Brock Dr., Southlake, Texas.
Current Zoning: "SF-1A" Single Family Residential District. Requested Zoning:
“SF-20A” Single Family Residential District. SPIN Neighborhood #11.
DETAILS: The proposed development is located on the east side of Brock Dr.
approximately 200 feet south of W. Southlake Blvd.
The purpose of the request is to gain 1st Reading approval of a Land Use Plan
Amendment from Low Density Residential to Medium Density Residential in
conjunction with an associated request for a Zoning Change and Concept Plan
(ZA17-083) from “SF-1A” Single Family Residential District to “SF-20A” Single
Family Residential District. The property owner is proposing to subdivide the
existing lot with a total area of approximately 1.09 acres into two lots which do
not meet net density required in the Low Density Residential land use
designation or the minimum one acre lot size required in the “SF-1A” Single
Family Residential District. The Tarrant Appraisal District currently shows
separate tax accounts for the northern and southern portions of the property.
Subdivision of the property will also require that a Plat Revision be processed
and approved by City Council following a recommendation by the Planning and
Zoning Commission and recorded with the County prior to the conveyance of any
portion of the existing platted lot or the issuance of any building permits for a new
home on the proposed southern lot.
The Low Density Residential land use category is defined by the Southlake 2030
Comprehensive Plan as:
Purpose: The purpose of the Low Density Residential land use category is to
provide for and to protect low intensity detached single-family residential
development that promotes the openness and rural character of Southlake.
Definition: The Low Density Residential category is for detached single-family
residential development at a net density of one or fewer dwelling units per acre.
Net density is the number of dwelling units per net acre, which excludes acreage
in all public rights-of-way. Other suitable activities are those permitted in the
Department of Planning & Development Services

Public Parks / Open Space and Public / Semi-Public categories described
previously. The Low Density Residential category encourages the openness and
rural character of the City of Southlake.
Existing Land Use Designations – Low Density Residential
The applicant’s proposed lots comply with the Medium Density Residential land
use category, which is defined by the Future Land Use Plan as:
Purpose: The purpose of the Medium Density Residential land use category is to
promote a neighborhood setting primarily comprised of single family detached
houses.
Definition: 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
previously discussed.

PLANNING AND ZONING
COMMISSION ACTION: November 9, 2017; A motion to deny the item pursuant to the staff report
dated November 3, 2017 was approved (3-1). Forman, Springer and
Rothmeier voted to deny.
Chairman Forman voted against the request based on Council’s guidance
to not change the Future Land Use without some extraordinary
circumstances. City Council may consider changing the Land Use based
on the proposed Stony Brook development to the west.
Commissioner Springer voted against the request based on the whole
neighborhood being zoned “SF-1A” and he is against splitting lots for no
good reason.
Commissioner Rothmeier voted against the request because of concerns
of setting a precedent for the other properties in the subdivision.
