Definition: The Low Density Residential category is for detached single-family residential development at a net density of one or fewer dwelling units per acre. Net density is the number of dwelling units per net acre, which excludes acreage in all public rights- of -way. Other suitable activities are those permitted in the Public Parks / Open Space and Public / Semi- Public categories described previously. The Low Density Residential category encourages the openness and rural character of the City of Southlake. Existing Land Use Plan Designation (2300 E. State Hwy. 114 and 411 N. Kimball Avenue) Mixed Use – The purpose of the Mixed Use land use category is to provide an option for large- scale, master-planned, mixed use developments that combine land uses such as office facilities, shopping, dining, parks, and residential uses. Definition: The range of activities permitted, the diverse natural features, and the varying proximity to thoroughfares of areas in the Mixed Use category necessitates comprehensively planned and coordinated development. New development must be compatible with and not intrusive to existing development. Further, special attention should be placed on the design and transition between different uses. Typically, the Mixed Use designation is intended for medium- to higher-intensity office buildings, hotels, commercial activities, retail centers, and residential uses. Nuisance-free, wholly enclosed light manufacturing and assembly uses that have no outdoor storage are permitted if designed to be compatible with adjacent uses. Other suitable activities are those permitted in the Public Parks/Open Space, Public/Semi-Public, Low Density Residential, Medium Density Residential, Retail Commercial, and Office Commercial categories previously discussed. 2035 S. H. 114 Corridor Plan Optional Land Use Recommendations The following Optional Land Use designations apply to two of the properties in the proposed development: The property addressed as 2300 E. State Hwy. 114 is in the Restaurant and Specialty Retail Overlay. The Restaurant and Specialty Retail Overlay is a commercial overlay category designed and intended for the 6 concentration of unique dining and specialty retail options not otherwise found in Southlake’s established retail and restaurant centers. The purpose of this category is to foster the development of a dynamic, destination restaurant district. This district should feature mostly independent, unique or local restaurants offering diverse and healthy cuisine in a sit-down format, which may also include aspects of culinary tourism or educational components up to and including schools offering training in culinary arts. The overlay may provide for incubation of new businesses and concepts which might otherwise struggle to operate in more traditional retail commercial spaces. Physical aspects of this district may include proximity to Community Services uses, proximity to niche retail, frontage onto shared space for dining or gathering rather than streets, and shared parking. In areas of the district which are located east of N. Carroll Avenue, up to 50% of the land area may be suitable for retail operations that are boutique or specialized in character. Boutique or unique hotels designed to be integrated into the environment, health and medical services and support office may also be appropriate. The property addressed as 411 N. Kimball Avenue is in the Medical and Wellness Overlay. The Medical Cluster category is an overlay category designed and intended for the concentration of local to regional healthcare and related facilities, including Medical/Wellness, specialty surgical centers, pediatric care, geriatric care of an outpatient nature, research and development facilities including those operated in partnership with a hospital, university, or other similar institutions, and health, beauty and wellness clinics and facilities. Retail and office should be strictly limited to uses which support the S.H. 114 Corridor Plan primary medical facilities. By its nature, the Medical Cluster is intended to foster collaboration and multiplication of benefits by locating medical services and disciplines in close proximity to each other, thereby benefitting both the institutions and the patients they serve. The Medical Cluster is envisioned to provide the greatest benefits when used in close proximity to existing medical facilities such as those clustered around the 114 Corridor between N. Carroll Avenue and N. White Chapel Avenue. Site specific recommendations for the properties addressed as 2300 E State Hwy. 114 and 411 N. Kimball Ave. are as follows:  Add the Medical and Wellness Overlay to all areas west of Shady Lane and Restaurant and Specialty Retail Overlay to the area at the northeast corner of Kimball and SH 114.  Amend Future Land Use Map and change the land use designation from Office Commercial and Retail Commercial land use categories to the Mixed Use Land Use Category.  Medical uses should consist of lower intensity destination uses such as health and wellness designed around specific user.  Retail establishments consistent with target industries identified in the Economic Development Master Plan may be considered if potential traffic impacts are adequately addressed.  Cross access between properties should be provided. Natural tree buffers should be preserved along residential boundaries.  Future development should be approved in a manner that is sensitive to potential impacts on adjacent residential areas, particularly as related to noise, traffic, building heights, lighting and views. 7 Conceptual Elevations 8
