May 29, 2018
To: City Council
From: Ken Baker, AICP – Senior Director of Planning & Development Services
Subject: CP18-0002, Ordinance No. 1192, adopting the City of Southlake
Consolidated Future Land Use Plan, an element of the Southlake 2035
Comprehensive Plan
Action
Requested: Approval on 1st Reading of the Southlake 2035 Consolidated Future Land
Use Plan.
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 Consolidated Future Land Use Plan (the Land Use Plan) is the fourth
and final element of the Southlake 2035 Land Use Plan, which is a
component of the Southlake 2035 Comprehensive 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 Land Use Plan is Southlake’s vision for future development that
serves as a guide for land use decisions and as a foundation for
Southlake’s zoning and subdivision regulations. The plan is a policy
document that allocates the general location, concentration, and intensity
of future development within the City by land use categories. The
Southlake 2035 Land Use Plan replaces the Southlake 2030 Land Use
Plan, which was adopted in 2012.
The Planning & Zoning Commission will also be considering the third
element of the land use plan update, the Southlake 2035 Land Use
Sector Plan (North, Central, West and Southeast) (Ordinance No. 1191).
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/

was overseen by the Southlake 2035 Corridor Planning Committee and
the 2035 Land Use Plan Committee.
