From: Ken Baker, Sr. Director of Planning and Community
Development
Subject: Item 8A: Resolution No. 17-050, Appointment of the
Committee for the development of the remaining Southlake
2035 Land Use Plan elements.
Action
Requested: Approval of Resolution No. 17-050, Appointment of the
Committee for the development of the remaining Southlake
2035 Land Use Plan elements.
Background
Information: The City Council has historically appointed committees to
work with staff to develop the various Comprehensive Plan
elements.
The purpose of this item is to appoint the Southlake 2035
Corridor Planning Committee in addition to the Southlake
2035 Land Use Plan Committee to develop the remaining
elements of the Southlake 2035 Land Use Plan. These
elements include the North, West, Southeast and Central
Sector Plans as well as the Consolidated Future Land Use
Plan.
The comprehensive plan is a reflection of the community’s
values and serves as a blueprint for Southlake’s future. More
specifically, the comprehensive plan establishes a
framework to coordinate the city’s activities and to guide the
city’s decision-making for the next 20 years. As such, the
comprehensive plan and its components are updated on a
regular basis.
The existing Southlake 2035 Corridor Planning Committee
includes:

On October 18, 2016 Southlake City Council appointed
members to the Southlake 2035 Land Use Plan Committee
to oversee the review and update of the various remaining
Southlake 2035 Land Use sector plans and the Consolidated
Future Land Use Plan.
The Southlake 2035 Corridor Planning Committee has
worked with staff to develop both the Southlake 2035 SH
114 Corridor Plan as well as the Southlake 2035 FM 1709 –
FM 1938 Corridor Plan.
Combining these two Committees to oversee the
development of the remaining Southlake 2035 Land Use
Plan elements allows for continuation of involvement by the
Southlake 2035 Corridor Planning Committee, drawing on
the knowledge gained from developing other plans, while
also incorporating additional Committee members into the
process.
Financial
Consideration: There is an inherent cost savings associated with developing
land use plan elements in house. Although certain plan
Item 8A

elements will include consulting work, the plans will be
drafted and carried through the development process by City
staff.
Strategic Link: The proposed resolution aligns with the City Strategy Map
under the Focus Areas “Partnerships & Volunteerism” as
well as the Corporate Objectives “C5” Promote opportunities
for partnerships and volunteer involvement and “C6”
Enhance the sense of community by providing excellent
customer service and citizen engagement opportunities. This
initiative also aligns with the City’s Critical Business
Outcome of “CBO3” Engage in thoughtful planning to ensure
continued high quality development that is integrated well
into the current built environment.
Citizen Input/
Board Review: N/A
Legal Review: None
Alternatives: Take action to not combine the Southlake 2035 Corridor
Planning Committee and the Southlake 2035 Land Use Plan
Committee, thereby leaving development of the remaining
land use plan elements solely with the Southlake 2035 Land
Use Plan Committee.

Recommendation: City Council approval of combining the Southlake 2035
