SOUTHLAKE 2030 PLAN: Consolidated Future Land Use Plan
The 2030 future land use designation
for the site is Public/Semi-public and
100-Year Flood Plain.
Public/Semi-Public areas are suitable
for a wide range of public, civic, and
religious uses, such as government
offices and facilities, public and private
schools, churches and related facilities
(including parsonage and parochial
schools), cemeteries, and Public Parks/Open Space uses in conjunction
with these developments. The Floodplain category illustrates areas
designated by the August 1995 Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA) maps as being in the 100-year floodplain. The
“floodplain” is an expanse of natural vegetation and wildlife, and should
Case No. Attachment A
ZA18-034 Page 2
be preserved as natural open area. Within the floodplain is “floodway”
that must be kept free of encroachment in order that the 100-year flood
may be carried without harmful increases in the height of flood waters.
Although it is not to be encouraged, the portion of the floodplain not in
the floodway may be reclaimed for development under certain
circumstances if in accordance with FEMA regulations. The designated
land use for areas of reclaimed floodplain is that of the immediately
adjacent land use category. This designation may also include
environmentally sensitive areas, habitats, or wetlands that may not be in
FEMA identified floodplains.
CITIZEN INPUT: A SPIN meeting was held for this project March 27, 2018.
