SOUTHLAKE 2035 PLAN: Future Land Use Plan
The site is designated “Mixed Use”.
Purpose and Definition: 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. 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,
Case No. Attachment A
ZA19-0035 Page 2
Medium Density Residential, Retail Commercial, and Office Commercial
categories.
Crooked/Kimball Small Area Plan
The property is also included in the
Crooked/Kimball Small Area Plan. The
Future Land Use designation was
changed from Low Density Residential to
Mixed Use in 2012 as a result of the
recommendations in that plan.
Mobility & Master Thoroughfare Plan
The Mobility and Master Thoroughfare Plan shows S. Kimball Ave. to be
a 4-lane divided arterial with 88’ of right of way.
Pathways Master Plan & Sidewalk Plan
There is an existing 6’ sidewalk along the west side of S. Kimball Avenue.
The approved site plan indicates a 6’ sidewalk to be built on the east side
of S. Kimball Avenue along the west boundary of the subject property.
TRANSPORTATION
ASSESSMENT: Area Road Network and Conditions
The approved development has one direct access drive onto S. Kimball
Avenue as well as two access points into the Pinnacle Point development
to the north and one access point into the Church of Christ Our King
development to the south. There is also one future access point onto
Village Center Drive once that roadway is constructed.

be constructed. 37% of the existing tree cover was approved to be
preserved but because of the relocation of the retaining wall 36% is
proposed to be preserved.

1. Insure adjacent owner references are current.
* The Subdivision Ordinance No. 483, as amended, requires that all lots front on a public or
private street. A Variance was approved with the zoning change and site plan under City
case ZA18-0051 to allow lot configuration as proposed, with lots fronting on common
access easement with 24’ fire lanes.
* Connecting stubs must align horizontally and vertically with adjacent property.
* For common structures, uses, shared parking, irrigation, etc., an Owner’s Association shall be
established.
* Provide a copy of the executed cross access, reciprocal parking and property maintenance
agreement.
* Although the existing retaining wall appears to be located within the 15’ dedicated right of way,
the City does not currently own or maintain the wall and does not accept responsibility for it
without an official agreement.

TREE CONSERVATION COMMENTS:
Case No. Attachment C
ZA19-0035 Page 2
* The submitted Tree Conservation Plan differs from the formerly approved Tree Conservation
Plan. Four (4) additional existing trees are proposed to be removed to relocate the existing
retaining wall within the right-of-way of North Kimball so that it will not be within the right-of-way,
over the existing sanitary sewer line, and so that the sidewalk may be constructed. The
difference in the amount of tree cover proposed to be preserved is 1%.
* There is 29% of existing tree cover on the property and if the proposed development was
approved as traditional zoning a minimum of 60% of the existing tree cover would be required
to be preserved. 37% of the existing tree cover was approved to be preserved but because of
the relocation of the retaining wall 36% is proposed to be preserved.
* Except as provided by subsection 7.2.b. of the Tree Preservation Ordinance, a Tree
Conservation Analysis or Tree Conservation Plan shall be approved if it will preserve existing
tree cover in accordance with the percentage requirements established by Table 2.0. If the
property has previously received a tree permit related to development, the percentage of existing
tree cover at the time the first such permit was issued shall be used to calculate the minimum
existing tree cover that must be preserved under this section.
Table 2.0 – Existing Tree Cover Preservation Requirements
Percentage of existing tree cover on
the entire site
Minimum percentage of the
existing tree cover to be
preserved*
0% – 20% 70%
20.1 – 40% 60%
40.1% - 60% 50%
60.1% - 80% 40%
80.1% - 100% 30%
*The minimum percentage of existing tree cover to be preserved shall exclude any area in
public rights-of-way as approved by City Council.
For property sought to be zoned for the Downtown zoning district or a planned development
zoning district, including an S-P-1 Site Plan, S-P-2 Site Plan, Transition, Rural Conservation,
Planned Unit Development, or Employment Center zoning district, the City Council shall
consider the application for a Conservation Analysis or Plan in conjunction with the
corresponding development application (as established in Table 1.0). The Planning and Zoning
Commission shall review the application and make a recommendation to the City Council
regarding the application. The City Council shall approve the Plan or Analysis if the Council
finds that the Plan or Analysis provides for the:
i. placement of building pads, parking areas, driveways, streets, and utility easements so
as to maximize the preservation of environmental features of the property including
mature tree stands, natural creeks and ponds, and significant grades;
ii. maximizes the preservation of tree cover preservation areas indicated on the
Environmental Resource Protection Map;
iii. maximizes the preservation of existing tree stands with the potential to buffer residential
areas from the noise, glare, and visual effects of nonresidential uses;
iv. maximizes the preservation of existing trees, if any, adjoining a natural or man-made
drainage creek;
Case No. Attachment C
ZA19-0035 Page 3
v. maximizes the preservation of existing protected trees along rural roadways and other
streets as identified and prioritized in the Street Typology designation; and
vi. mitigation of altered trees through proposed tree replacement procedures pursuant to
this Ordinance.
* Please be aware that all existing trees shown to be preserved on the City Council approved Tree
Conservation Plan must be preserved and protected during all phases and construction of the
development. Alteration or removal of any of the existing trees shown to be preserved on the
approved Tree Conservation Plan is a violation of the Tree Preservation Ordinance and the
zoning as approved by the Southlake City Council. Please ensure that the layout of all structures,
easements, utilities, structures grading, and any other structure proposed to be constructed do
not conflict with existing trees intended to be preserved.
