EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Property Situation
The property is located on the south side of Southlake Boulevard approximately 500 feet
west of the Southlake Boulevard Carroll Avenue intersection.
Development Details
Property is approximately 10 acres and is zoned AG Agricultural District.
Applicant is proposing a SP -2 Generalized Site Plan District to include mixed -use
retail, restaurant and commercial development.
Concept Plan shows two phases. First phase fronting Southlake Boulevard and
proposing retail restaurant elements with one story bank at the northwest corner
(proposed 5 buildings). The second phase extends south to the future Zena Rucker
Road and includes four (4) one story office buildings and an existing retention pond.
The proposed Plaza Boulevard along the west side of the development adjacent to
Invitation Park will connect to the future Zena Rucker Road at a full sized round -a-
bout.
The proposed buildings along Southlake Boulevard will have glass on all sides to
help soften a definite front and back to the building.
QUESTIONS DISCUSSION
There were no questions asked, however, one statement was made, "I don't like
buildings facing 1709 with no apparent `back of building'; I also don't like one story
flat top buildings. I think they are ugly."
