Item 7C JustificationFuture Land Use Map Amendment Letter for Lot 9S and Lot 9N for Brock Addition
Planning and Zoning Committee and City Council,
Our hope is to build a primary residence on a current vacant lot we own. Below will address some of the
Future Land Use Map Amendment Letter requirements:
a) A summary of features in the proposed project that do not conform to the Future Land Use
Map.
Currently lot 9S and 9N are zoned as SF1A low density residential, I am wanting to build a home
on Lot 9S which will require to be rezoned for SF20A medium density residential.
b) Identification of conditions that have changed to warrant a change in the land use
designation. Provide specific reasons as to why the existing land use designation (both
underlying and optional, if applicable) is no longer appropriate for the site. This may
include demographic data, traffic counts, etc.
The current surrounding properties to Brock Addition are in work to be developed and rezoned
from Ag to residential development. Our hope is that we can simply build on a vacant lot that we
currently own, and because of current zoning restrictions are unable to do.
c) An explanation of why the requested land use designation is more appropriate than the
existing designation.
Currently we own a vacant lot that we will never be able to develop if it remains under its existing
designation.
d) An explanation of how the requested land use designation is compatible with surrounding
land use designations.
The request for medium density residential will be in line with the request for medium density
residential of nearby Stone Trails concept plan
e) Justification as to how the proposed development fits within the area and fulfills the goals
of the Consolidated Land Use Plan, the goals of the applicable Area Plan, and the goals of
Southlake 2030.
The Quality of Development will meet all Goal 1: Quality Development objectives. By adding
more appeal to existing neighborhood and offering the opportunity to increase the value of the
existing neighborhood.
Goal 1: Quality Development
Promote quality development that is consistent with the
Urban Design Plan, well- maintained, attractive,
pedestrian friendly, safe, contributes to an overall sense
of place and meet the needs of a vibrant and diverse
community.
Objective 1.1 Encourage the maintenance of existing
neighborhoods, features and amenities in order to
preserve property values and a unique sense of place.
Objective 1.3 Encourage appropriately -scaled
neighborhood design that compliments existing
development patterns while creating unique places,
recognizing that quality residential neighborhoods are the
cornerstone of our community.
Objective 1.4 Emphasize creativity and ensure
environmental stewardship in the design of all
development and public infrastructure, maximizing the
preservation of desirable natural features such as trees,
topography, streams, wildlife corridors and habitat.
Objective 1.6 Consider high-quality single-family
residential uses as part of a planned mixed-use

development at appropriate transitional locations.
Objective 1.7 Explore and encourage opportunities for
redevelopment when appropriate.
Objective 1.8 Ensure high-quality design and a
heightened sensitivity towards the integration of new
development with the existing development and urban
design pattern.
f) Identification of unique characteristics of the area that supports this type of development.
If zoning of SF20A is approved it will still require a lot size minimum of 20,OOOsgft which will
supersede the other development attempts nearby development Stone Trails.
g) Any additional information to support the amendment.
Currently both lot 9N and 9S are appraised and taxed independently. My hope is simply to utilize
both lots to their fullest extent.
Thank you for your consideration.
