To: City Council
From: Ken Baker, AICP – Senior Director of Planning & Development Services
Subject: CP18-0001, Ordinance No. 1191, adopting the City of Southlake Land
Use Sector Plan (North, Central, West and Southeast), an element of the
Southlake 2035 Comprehensive Plan
Action
Requested: Approval on 1st Reading of the Southlake 2035 Land Use Sector Plan
(North, Central, West and Southeast).
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 Land Use Sector Plan represents the third of four land use plan
elements that will be adopted as part of the Southlake 2035 Land Use
Plan update. During the Southlake 2030 planning effort, the North, West,
Southeast and Central Sectors were adopted as separate ordinances.
With this update, these four elements are being presented in one plan
document as just one ordinance.
The Planning & Zoning Commission will also be considering the final
element of the land use plan update, the Southlake 2035 Consolidated
Future Land Use Plan (Ordinance No. 1192).
The SH 114 Corridor Plan was adopted by City Council on June 20, 2017.
The FM 1709 – FM 1938 Corridor Plan was adopted by City Council on
December 5, 2017.
Financial
Considerations: None. The plan was developed by the Southlake 2035 Corridor Planning
Committee and the 2035 Land Use Plan Committee.
Strategic Link: The comprehensive plan falls in line with a number of strategic initiatives;
specifically CBO3 (Engage in thoughtful planning to ensure continued
high quality development that is integrated well into the current built
environment) and CBO5 (Improve quality of life through progressive
implementation of Southlake’s Comprehensive Plan recommendations).
Citizen Input/
Board Review: Development of the Southlake 2035 Land Use Sector Plan was overseen
by the Southlake 2035 Corridor Planning Committee and the 2035 Land
Use Plan Committee. All Committee meetings were open to the public.
The joint Committee met on January 22nd and March 1st of 2018 to review
and discuss the Southlake 2035 Land Use Sector Plan. A public open
house to receive input on the plan was held on April 10th.
