It is a statement of community values and establishes a vision for the long-term growth and development of the city. On March 2, 2004, City Counciladopted Phase I — Vision, Goals, and Objective of the Southlake 2025 Plan. This document for the basis for Phase II — developing the specific recommendations on the land use, thoroughfare (mobility), environmental protection, and other elements. In order to facilitate a detailed but efficient planning process for Phase II, the Planning and Zoning Commission has divided the city into nine (9) distinct pplanning areas. The South Side Plan Area is the third of the nine planning areas in this phase f the Southlake 2025 Plan. The purpose of this report is to: 1. Establish a detailed background for the planning area and planning process; 2. Identify current development constraints and issues; 3. Identify critical environmental and natural resources to be preserved; 4. Explore development opportunities within the study area; and 5. Make recommendations for the future development of the area. The South Side Plan Area combines 4 distinct planning areas (C, D, G, & H) given their common land use and development characteristics. The area plans developed as a part of the Southlake 2025 Plan process will be used as the basis for updating the city's land use and master thoroughfare plans and creating new plans for environmental protection and mobility. Also, these area plans will be utilized in setting priorities in the Cap''tal Improvement Program (CIP) planning process, updating current development ordinances, aid could serve as a catalyst for creating new planning related programs.

The area includes F.M. 1709 (Southlake Blvd.), which is a principal arterial in the city and an important east -west corridor linking the cities of Grapevine, Southlake, and Keller. 1 0 1 - Location ofF.M. 1709 (Southlake Blvd.) in its Regional Context F.M. 1709 (Southlake Blvd.) forms the northern edge and S.H. 26 forms the southeastern edge of the South Side Plan Area. Bear Creek separates the plan area and the city from Colleyville to the south. The western edge of the South Side Plan area is the Davis Boulevard/F.M. 1938 Corridor plan area. F.M. 1709 is characterized by intense retail uses east of Carroll Avenue and lower intensity office and residential uses west of Carroll Ave. View of large format retail uses along Southlake Blvd., east of Carroll Avenue Southlake 2025 Plan Phase H View of lower -intensity ofice uses west of Carroll Avenue South Side Area Plan Analysis & Recommendations Resolution 05-006 March 15, 2005 The following preliminary analysis and recommendations for development in the South Side Plan Area are part of the larger effort of Phase II of the Southlake 2025 Plan. The city has been generally divided into 9 distinct planning areas in order to facilitate an efficient, but detailed study of the entire city (see figure below). The boundaries shown for the different planning areas may change as the Planning and Zoning Commission sees fit. They are intended to be flexible with general identification of areas of distinct development impact. These delineations are for planning purposes only and may contain areas similar in character and/or land use. The South Side Plan Area includes areas "C", "D", "G", and "H" as indicated by the map below. Southlake 2025 Plan — Phase II South Side Plan Area (Areas C, D, G, & H) 1.1 General Character of the Area The northern boundary of the South Side Plan Area includes the properties along the northern edge of F.M. 1709 (Southlake Blvd.) and is the location for the majority of the commercial development in the area, including Southlake Town Square and Harris Methodist Hospital. It also includes Bicentennial Park, the second largest public park in the city. The park provides a variety of recreational opportunities, however, pedestrian and bicyclist access from neighboring subdivisions is limited.

Some of the houses are located in or adjacent to the 100 -year flood plain. In addition, there are a number of large estates along White Chapel with a unique rural character not found in many other areas of the city. View of residential development along F.M. 1709. View of recent garden office projects along F.M. 1709. The eastern section of the plan area is characterized primarily by industrial uses. There are a few former industrial sites, such as the former PUMPCO site, that will present unique challenges for future development. I Typical industrial uses 1.2 Traffic Count Trends Former PUMPCO site F.M. 1709 is an important transportation corridor in the city for influencing the development patterns and character of Southlake. It is a regional arterial that runs from S.H. 114 west to Interstate 35W and is designed to serve regional and major traffic generators. Traffic volumes along FM 1709 have remained generally stable over the past few years: Southlake 2025 Plan 4 South Side Area Plan Phase H Analysis & Recommendations Resolution 05-006 80,000 70,000 60,000 0 U w 50,000 m 40,000 3 0 3 30,000 0 20,000 vN 10,000 March 15, 2005 F.M. 1709 (Southlake Blvd.) Traffic Count Trends 2000 -2025 Source: 2004 Traffic Count Report & NCTCOG Traffic counts along F.M. 1709 are expected to stabilize or increase slightly over the next few years. However, if F.M. 1709 is widened from the current five lanes to seven, there is a potential fora significant traffic increase. In contrast, the other primary east -west route in the plan area, Continental Blvd., has seen a significant decrease in traffic with the opening of S.H. 114. North -south routes include White Chapel Blvd., Carroll Ave., and Kimball Ave. All three of these routes are expected to see significant increases in traffic counts once they are widened. The year 2025 estimates (NCTCOG) for the same segments along F.M. 1709 indicate the highest increases in traffic volumes east of Carroll Ave. and west of Southridge Lakes.

Southlake 2025 Plan 5 South Side Area Plan Phase H Analysis & Recommendations Resolution 05-006 2.0 EXISTING PLANS & STUDIES March 15, 2005 Four existing plans and one study impact the South Side Plan Area. These include: 1998 Land Use Plan 1997 Master Thoroughfare Plan 2001 Parks, Open Space, & Recreation Master Plan 2001 Pathways Plan 1995 Corridor Study The following sections summarize how these plans and the corridor study relate to the South Side Plan Area. 2.1 1998 Land Use Plan The majority of the South Side Plan Area is designated as Medium Density Residential in the 1998 Land Use Plan, as shown below. 1998 Land Use Plan Designation Legtnd Plan Areas R FLOOD PLAIN111,11 MMOFFICECOERCIAL O C•D.G.d' Bc 1"1 S O U T H L A K E CORPS OF ENGINEERS BOUNDARY PUBLIC PARKS/OPEN SPACE RETAIL COMMERCIAL MED USE c„ Lo._ CDG & Hfff2U15PUBLIC/SEMI-PUBLIC TOWN CENTER P B.--, LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL INDUSTRIAL A4.M—ynr, .:•. 1998 Future VGFYV Kan. Land Use Plan Medium Density Residential is defined as follows: The Medium Density Residential category is suitable for any single-family detached residential development. Limited low intensity office and/or retail uses may be permitted provided that the nature of the commerce is to support the surrounding neighborhood and that the area is sufficiently buffered from adjacent residential property. Such non- Southlake 2025 Plan 6 South Side Area Plan Phase H Analysis & Recommendations Resolution 05-006 March 15, 2005 residential uses must be compatible with and not intrusive to the adjacent residential uses. Other suitable activities are those permitted in the Public Parks/Open Space and Public/Semi-Public categories previously discussed. " The land use designations along F.M. 1709 generally reflect the recommendations from the 1995 Corridor Study, which recommended that the F.M. 1709 corridor primarily consist of residential subdivisions with some local service retail, offices, and institutional uses at major intersections. The 1995 Corridor Study recommendations are discussed in further detail in Section 2.5. Other significant land use designations in the South Side Plan Area include Low Density Residential, Town Center, and Industrial (on the southeast portion of the plan area). In addition, several properties in the area are located in or border on the 100 year flood plain. Another significant consideration for development in the plan area is the presence of the airport noise overlay zone. Specifically, residential development is generally discouraged in the 65 LDN and prohibited in the 75 LDN. 2.2 1997 Master Thoroughfare Plan According to the 1997 Master Thoroughfare Plan (MTP), the South Side Plan Area includes the arterials F.M. 1709, Brumlow Ave., Carroll Ave., Byron Nelson Parkway, Kimball Ave., Continental Blvd., and White Chapel Blvd. Legend Plan Areas SDD'R0 N MD -,OD -An.

South Peytonville Ave. is classified as a collector in the southern portion of the area and as an arterial to the north. The following table summarizes the characteristics of each of these roadways as outlined in the MTP. Arterials in the South Side Plan Area F.M. 1709 (Southlake Blvd.) As noted in the Analysis and Recommendations for the Davis Boulevard/F.M. 1938 Plan Area, F.M. 1709 is a principal arterial with the primary function of serving regional and major traffic generators. The focus on this roadway is access management to limit intersections and traffic signals. F.M. 1709 is designated with a right-of-way (R -O -W) of 130 feet. It is currently slated to be a 7 -lane undivided arterial with a continuous center turn lane and right turn lanes at key intersections. View ofF.

Recreation. and Oaen Space Master Plan March 15, 2005 The 2001 Parks, Recreation, & Open Space Master Plan for the city of Southlake indicates several significant park areas in the South Side Plan area, however, the majority of the park areas are privately owned. The largest public park in the area (and second largest in the city) is Bicentennial Park. The regional park is well-known for its variety of athletic facilities, including baseball, softball, T -ball, basketball, in-line hockey, volleyball, tennis, and playground equipment. Bicentennial Park is the only park in the plan area that provides all the above listed athletic game facilities. The Texas School of Baseball site on Crooked Lane is also slated to provide for some athletic facilities.

The 1 acre Rustin Park is considered relatively complete and includes benches, a small pond, two fountains, and a pavilion/bandshell. In contrast, Koalaty Park is undeveloped with the exception of four unlighted practice fields. The 2001 Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Master Plan recommended adding benches and picnic tables, a nature trail, interpretive signage, additional trees, park entry signage, and irrigation to the 6 acre park. Noble Oaks Park is also undeveloped and covers 5 acres, including a pond. The Plan recommended a multi-purpose trail, connections to the City trail system and school grounds, benches and picnic tables, practice areas, park rules and park entry signage, addition of aquatic plants and animals to the pond, irrigation, and a small shelter by the pond with security lighting. Further recreational opportunities may be created in partnership with the Carroll Independent School District (CISD). The South Side Plan Area includes several developed CISD properties that could potentially provide joint -use opportunities. The Community Services Department of the City of Southlake is currently undertaking a periodic update of the 2001 Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Master Plan. The recommendations for the South Side Plan Area will be forwarded to the Community Services Department in an effort to coordinate the two planning processes. 2.4 2001 Southlake Pathways Plan Plan Areas o,,;;,,nol.nn.eSOUINLAKEo.sl,.a•1 er•,..enoroe.a ae•.a wouu Hent'. vewl.a v«ea lem. ue. r,ee.e.

Existing Pedestrian Network Southlake 2025 Plan 14 South Side Area Plan Phase H Analysis & Recommendations Resolution 05-006 March 15, 2005 The 2001 Southlake Pathways Plan is the city's trail system master plan for pedestrian, bicyclist, and equestrian transportation and recreation. With pedestrian -oriented shopping in and around Town Center, recreational opportunities in the public parks (see Section 2.3), and the completion of Dragon Stadium, the South Side Plan Area has many destinations to which residents and visitors might choose to walk, skate, or ride a bike. This makes the 2001 Pathways Plan particularly relevant to the South Side Plan Area. The Plan's specific recommendations that pertain to the area are outlined below. As discussed in the Analysis and Recommendations for the Davis Boulevard/F.M. 1938 Corridor, the 2001 Pathways Plan identifies on -street bicycle facilities (15' outside lanes) along F.M. 1709 and F.M. 1938. F.M. 1709 is a major regional connector in the Northeast Tarrant County area and provides opportunities for non -automobile access to the adjoining cities of Keller and Grapevine. The Plan also recommends on -street bicycle facilities along Continental Blvd. With the completion of S.H. 114 and the resulting reduced traffic on Continental Blvd., the bike route on Continental Blvd. should provide easy east and west cycling. h ac° Sidewalk along Continental Blvd. Sidewalk construction along Kimball Ave. The Plan recommends complementing the on -street bicycle facilities with a network of multi- use trails along arterials as well as sidewalks along collectors and residential streets. Some of the specific trail and sidewalk recommendations for the South Side Area Plan include: Creating a connection from Continental and Brumlow to the Cottonbelt Trail. The Cottonbelt Trail is a major regional bikeway that runs along the Cottonbelt Railroad tracks. It is a part of the Veloweb, which is a region -wide network of spine trails recommended by the Regional Transportation Council of the North Central Texas Council of Governments. The completed 8.2 mile trail will link North Richland Hills, Hurst, Colleyville, Southlake, and downtown Grapevine. Providing multi -use connectivity between neighborhoods around Bicentennial Park and the south side of F.M. 1709 to the Bicentennial Park trails. The Plan also suggested a pedestrian bridge over F.M. 1709. Building an inter -city connection to Colleyville's planned 10' Pleasant Run Trail by providing a sidewalk along South White Chapel Blvd. from F.M. 1709. Establishing a connection between retail along South Kimball Avenue, S.H. 114, and Nolen Drive to Dragon Stadium. Southlake 2025 Plan 15 South Side Area Plan Phase II Analysis & Recommendations Resolution 05-006 March 15, 2005 In addition, other opportunities to refine the pathways network through new development and street improvements should be maximized.

Southlake 2025 Plan 16 South Side Area Plan Phase H Analysis & Recommendations Resolution 05-006 March 15, 2005 Design Recommendations for F.M. 1709: The 1995 Corridor Study provided design recommendations for F.M. 1709 related to the entry -way into the city, major intersections along the roadway, and private development along the roadway. F.M. 1709 Portal Recommendations The 1995 Corridor Study recognized F.M. 1709 as a critical entry -way into the city that needed enhancements as a portal into the city. The enhancement recommendations primarily apply to the western border of the city, and are therefore fully discussed in the Analysis & Recommendations chapter for Plan Area B.

Southlake 2025 Plan Phase H 17 South Side Area Plan Analysis & Recommendations Resolution 05-006 Private Development Recommendations March 15, 2005 Additional design recommendations for F.M. 1709 included: Elimination of concrete erosion control along the corridor and utilization of retaining walls of natural materials and plantings. Increasing bufferyard standards with respect to width and required plantings to differentiate the corridor. Canopy trees planted along the corridor in groupings to buffer surface parking and frame private development. Plant material should be limited to selected hardy plants and trees should be a minimum of 2" — 4" caliper to achieve a "natural tree grove" corridor edge. Southlake 2025 Plan 18 South Side Area Plan Phase H Analysis & Recommendations Resolution 05-006 3.0 PRELIMINARY ANALYSIS March 15, 2005 The F.M. 1709 (Southlake Blvd.) corridor is the major commercial corridor in the city of Southlake. Not only does it function as a critical retail hub, it also provides vital east -west regional connectivity between the cities of Keller, Southlake, and Grapevine. The eastern part of the corridor (east of Carroll Ave.) has developed as a regional and local retail destination while the western part of F.M. 1709 (west of Carroll Ave.) is currently developing as a premier location for small-scale office developments. 3.1 Existing Land Use and Character The South Side Plan Area is dominated by single family residential housing. The largest residential development is Timarron, a master -planned community with approximately 1400 homes. The first houses were constructed in 1992 and typical lot sizes range from .15 to 1 acre. The community includes a golf course, fitness center, club house, greenbelts, and a number of other amenities. There are also significant retail and office developments in the plan area. The major commercial developments are outlined below. Southlake Town Square Aerial View of Southlake Town Square Typical Street in Southlake Town Square A 125 -acre master planned, pedestrian oriented, mixed-use development. 600,000 s.f of mixed retail, office and government uses employing approximately 1,800 people.

The current development includes over 68,000 s.f of retail and restaurants, and future development is expected to add another 30,000 s.f. 3.2 Existing Zoning The Village at Timarron The South Side Plan Area is dominated by Residential Planned Unit Development ("R - PUD") zoning. The entire area that is designated "R -PUD" is the Timarron development, which consists primarily of medium density residential uses. Other significant zoning designations include "SF -IA" (Single Family Residential, minimum 1 acre lot), "SF -20A" and "SF -20B" Single Family Residential, minimum 20,000 s.f. lot). There are also a few lots along White Chapel Blvd. that are zoned "RE", Residential Estate, minimum 5 acre lot. On the east side of the plan area, particularly along S.H. 26, "I-1" (Light Industrial) and 1-2" Heavy Industrial) zoning is common. Also on the east side, two relatively small areas zoned MH" (Manufactured Housing) may be found south of Continental Blvd. In addition, commercial ("C-1", "C-2", and "C-3") and Office ("O-1") zoning is found primarily along F.M. 1709. A few areas zoned "SP -1", "SP -2" (Site Plan) and `B-1" (Business Service Park) are also found on the north side of the plan area. Town Center is zoned "DT", Downtown District.

Parcels with "AG" (Agricultural) zoning are also scattered throughout the plan area, but a concentration of them may be found on the west side of Carroll Ave., south of F.M. 1709. 3.3 Toi)ograDhv and Environment Natural character can have a significant impact on quality of life and should be taken into account when planning for future development. In the South Side Plan Area, the topography, creeks and flood plain, and trees are some of the most important natural features. In general, the topography of the plan area is relatively level. However, one area that may present a challenge for development is the southwest corner of F.M. 1709 and Kimball Ave. There is a significant grade change from the street level of F.M. 1709 to the property on the south side of the road. A retaining wall is currently in place. In addition, several properties are located in the 100 year flood plain, adjacent to the 100 year flood plain, or adjacent to streams. While most of these properties have already been developed with medium density residential uses (primarily in the Timarron neighborhood), any recommendations for development of the remaining properties should take the flood plain into account.

Evaluate and adopt changes to the Land Use Plan which reflect the current and desired future development patterns in the South Side Plan Area. Preserve the character of the lower -intensity residential uses along South White Chapel Blvd. and Lilac Lane by applying the Rural Conservation (RC) land use category as an alternative to the Low Density Residential land use category. View ofproperties along S. White Chapel Blvd. View of residential uses along Lilac Lane. Limit higher intensity industrial uses to existing areas along S.H. 26 and provide incentives for some areas to be redeveloped or improve their overall visual appearance. Strengthen the retail node at F.M. 1709 (Southlake Blvd.) and Kimball Ave. by re - designating the southwest corner of the intersection from Office Commercial to Retail Commercial. Prioritize the undertaking of a median study that includes the following street sections in the South Side Plan Area: F.M. 1709 from White Chapel Blvd. to Kimball Ave., White Chapel Blvd from Dove Street to F.M. 1709, and Carroll Ave. from F.M. 1709 to Breezeway.

Prioritize the undertaking of a median study that includes the following street sections in the South Side Plan Area: F.M. 1709 from White Chapel Blvd. to Kimball Ave., Carroll Ave. from F.M. 1709 to Breezeway, and Brumlow Ave. from Continental to S.H. 26. Carroll Ave., looking south at F.M. 1709 Brumlow Ave., looking south. As a part of this median study, evaluate the feasibility of designating Carroll Ave. from F.M. 1709 to Continental and Brumlow Ave. from Continental to S.H. 26 to a 4 -lane divided "parkway" with medians, landscaping, and sidewalks on both side of the street. a. --fie` Ar xr F.M. 1709 looking west from Central Ave. Intersection ofF.M. 1709 and Carroll Ave. Specifically, as a part of the median study, develop F.M. 1709 (Southlake Blvd) from Village Center Drive to Carroll Ave as a "boulevard" with sidewalks, street trees, medians, and buildings that establish that portion of Southlake Blvd. as the heart of the Southlake 2025 Plan 38 South Side Area Plan Phase 11 Analysis & Recommendations Resolution 05-006 March 15, 2005 community's Downtown. Utilize any available bond financing for streetscape improvements to this stretch of F.M. 1709 and Carroll Ave. Develop a unique intersection treatment at F.M. 1709 and Carroll Ave. to create a sense of place and arrival at Southlake's Downtown as a part of the median study. Improve pedestrian access on F.M. 1709 between Carroll Avenue and Central Avenue by evaluating options for pedestrian crossings — both at -grade and above grade pedestrian bridge options. Designate White Chapel Blvd.'s ultimate cross section north of F.M. 1709 (3 -lane or 4 - lane divided) based on a study to move traffic efficiently and safety through the area. Recommend the following changes to the Master Thoroughfare Plan: o Designate White Chapel Blvd. to a 2 -lane arterial (94' arterial) with turn lanes at key intersections, o Designate Carroll Ave. from F.M. 1709 to Continental (80' R -O -W) and Brumlow Ave. from Continental to S.H. 26 (88' R -O -W) to a 4 -lane divided facility. o Designate Continental Blvd. from Davis Blvd. to Crooked Lane as a 2 -lane collector (retaining its 84' R -O -W from Davis Blvd. to Carroll Ave. and 94' R -O- W from Carroll Ave. to Kimball Ave.) Encourage the development of a pedestrian greenway along floodplains and creeks in the area to provide alternative connectivity between neighborhoods and adjacent commercial development. Encourage automobile and pedestrian connectivity between adjoining commercial developments in the corridor. This in turn will reduce auto trips and turning movements on the arterial roadways and improve level of service. Evaluate potential for pedestrian connectivity from retail/office uses to adjacent neighborhoods. Establish design characteristics in addition to technical standards for all identified streets in the planning area. Preserve the character of S. White Chapel Blvd. from F.M. 1709 to the southern city limit line along Bear Creek. Prioritize pedestrian safety and access to area schools, sporting facilities (e.g., Dragon Stadium), and city park facilities (e.g., Bicentennial Park). Specifically, designate a school zone along F.M. 1709 in the vicinity of Carroll Senior High School. View of S. White Chapel Blvd View ofpedestrian crosswalk at Carroll Senior High and F.M. 1709 Southlake 2025 Plan 39 South Side Area Plan Phase II Analysis & Recommendations Resolution 05-006 5.2 Mobilitv Plan Implementation Strateeies Recommendation Justification Develop an interconnected system of trails and sidewalks along all streets to maximize pedestrian connectivity from neighborhoods to shopping and employment areas. 2. Designate Continental Blvd. from Davis to Crooked Lane as a 2 -lane collector with turn lanes at key intersections. Designate White Chapel Blvd.'s ultimate cross section north of F.M. 1709 3 -lane or 4 -lane divided) based on a study to move traffic efficiently and safety through the area. 4. Designate White Chapel south of F.M. 1709 as a 2 - lane arterial with turn lanes at key intersections. 5. Designate Brumlow from Continental to S.H. 26 as a 4 -lane divided facility from a 5 -lane undivided arterial. Trails and sidewalks provide an alternative to automobile trips that help to reduce vehicle emissions and improve air quality. Further, these facilities provide for recreational jogging, walking, and bicycling. Trails and sidewalks add value to the neighborhood. Improve traffic flow and retain the aesthetic qualities of Continental Blvd. Maintain and improve the visual aesthetic of White Chapel while providing for safe and efficient movement of traffic. Changing the designation of White Chapel will preserve the unique character of the road. A 4 -lane divided facility has the same capacity as a 5 -lane undivided roadway. A 4 -lane divided can be accommodated in the 88' R -O -W and is aesthetically a better fit with the existing and future development along this corridor. March 15, 2005 Implementation Ensure that trails and sidewalks are incorporated into the planning and development process. Amend the zoning and subdivision ordinances to require all development to provide sidewalks along public and private streets with the exception of alleys). Revise the Master Thoroughfare Plan for Continental Blvd. from a 3 - lane undivided arterial to a 2 - lane collector with turn lanes C2U — 84' R -O -W west of Carroll and 94' R -O -W east of Carroll Ave). Have Public Works in conjunction with Planning undertake a traffic study and revise the Master Thoroughfare Plan based on the recommendations of such a study. Revise the Master Thoroughfare Plan for White Chapel south of F.M. 1709 to a 2 -lane arterial (A2U — 94' R -O -W). Revise the Master Thoroughfare Plan accordingly (A4D — 88'R -0- W). Southlake 2025 Plan 40 South Side Area Plan Phase H Analysis & Recommendations Resolution 05-006 Recommendation 6. Evaluate intersection improvements (such as a roundabout, pavement markings, crosswalks, etc.) at Peytonville and Continental Blvd. in conjunction with improving pedestrian access and connectivity to Carroll Elementary School. 7. Convert one south bound lane of White Chapel at F.M. 1709 to a right -turn only lane. 8. Evaluate intersection improvement options at White Chapel and Continental Blvd., such as a roundabout, pavement markings, crosswalks, etc. 9. Evaluate connectivity around the senior center based on future development patterns. 10. Evaluate the feasibility of changing Carroll Ave. from F.M. 1709 to Continental Blvd. to a 4 - lane divided facility with a planted median with sidewalks on both sides of the street. 11. Encourage automobile and pedestrian connectivity between adjoining commercial developments in the corridor. Justification Need to improve pedestrian access and safety to the school from surrounding neighborhoods. Improve traffic flow. South bound White Chapel reduces to one lane south of the traffic light at F.M. 1709. South bound traffic is impeded from turning right onto F.M. 1709. Improve traffic flow and to improve safety Improve traffic flow onto/around F.M. 1709. Improve pedestrian connectivity (such as pedestrian access to Old Union Elementary School from neighborhoods along Carroll) and improve the visual aesthetic of Carroll Ave. This will reduce auto trips and turning movements on the arterial roadways and improve level of service on area arterials and collectors. March 15, 2005 Implementation Have Public Works evaluate feasibility. Prioritize funding for sidewalks near schools in the CIP. Make recommendation to the City Engineer. Have Public Works evaluate feasibility. Consider connectivity during further planning and development of the area. Include as part of the median study and amend the Master Thoroughfare Plan accordingly. Emphasize connectivity between adjoining developments during the planning and development or redevelopment of properties in the plan area. Southlake 2025 Plan 41 South Side Area Plan Phase H Analysis & Recommendations Resolution 05-006 Recommendation 12. Evaluate potential for pedestrian connectivity from retail/office uses to adjacent neighborhoods. 13. Evaluate connectivity around the northwest corner and southeast corner of F.M. 1709 and Carroll Ave. in conjunction with proposed development. 14. Evaluate the feasibility of a planted median on F.M. 1709 from Village Center to Carroll Avenue. 15. Upgrade Crooked Lane, retaining the existing 2 - lane facility. If property along Crooked Lane is developed with industrial land uses, recommend limiting truck traffic from accessing Kimball. Justification Automobile trips can be reduced by improving pedestrian and bicycle accessibility between commercial and residential developments. Improve connectivity of existing neighborhoods to Carroll Ave. and F.M. 1709 and to Southlake Town Square. Improve the visual aesthetic of F.M. 1709 and improve safety. Existing road is a sub -standard roadway and needs to be upgraded. Truck traffic may be detrimental to the homeowners and schools along Kimball. March 15, 2005 Implementation Emphasize pedestrian connectivity between adjoining developments during the planning and development or redevelopment of properties in the plan area. Amend relevant ordinances to require sidewalks and/or trails along all public and private streets. Consider connectivity during the planning and development of the sites. Include as part of the median study. Prioritize the utilization of any available bond financing for streetscape improvements and burying utility lines in this part of F.M. 1709 and along portions of Carroll Ave from S.H. 114 to future Rucker Road) Prioritize in the CIP. Review at the time any development application is made to the city. Southlake 2025 Plan 42 South Side Area Plan Phase H Analysis & Recommendations Resolution 05-006 Recommendation 16. Maximize pedestrian connectivity to schools and to Dragon Stadium from adjoining neighborhoods. Specifically, establish a school zone along F.M. 1709 in the vicinity of Carroll Senior High School. 17. Limit industrial traffic access to S.H. 26. 18. Develop a unique intersection treatment at Carroll Ave. & F.M. 1709. 19. Improve pedestrian access on F.M. 1709 between Carroll Avenue and Central Avenue by evaluating options for pedestrian crossings — both at -grade and above grade pedestrian bridge options. Justification There is currently limited pedestrian access to the stadium. Reduce wear and tear on local arterials and collectors and improve safety. A well-designed intersection treatment would complement Town Square and help to create a unique sense of place. With existing Town Square to the north and the future expansion of the Town Center designation across F.M. 1709 to the south, pedestrian connectivity and access along F.M. 1709 between Carroll & Central Avenues should be encouraged. But this is made challenging due to the future cross-section of F.M. 1709 as a 6 -lane roadway. March 15, 2005 Implementation Prioritize funding for sidewalks in the CIP. Have DPS work with CISD to establish an appropriate school zone near Carroll Senior High. Review at the time any development application is made to the city. Include as a part of the median study. Evaluate pedestrian access issues along F.M. 1709 between Carroll Ave. and Central Ave. as a part of the median study. Specifically explore both at grade and above grade options for pedestrian crossings.

Encourage the preservation of a tree buffer adjoining the flood plain corridor and existing neighborhoods. Encourage the maintenance of existing vegetation adjacent to roadways when wooded areas are developed. Adapt development to the topography rather than topography to the development. Incorporate significant landscape features into new development. Preserve view sheds that add value to the development in the plan area. View of the natural topography from the intersection of Kimball Ave. andFM 1709, looking west towards F.M. 1709.

Protect the city's surface and groundwater supplies. Protect the city's remaining ranching/agricultural and environmental areas in the southern part of the city by requiring residential development to occur in a manner that has the minimum impact on these resources. Rehabilitate/protect stream corridors in conjunction with new development. Prioritize the burying of overhead utilities along F.M. 1709 (between Village Center Drive and Carroll Ave.) and Carroll Ave. (between S.H. 114 and future Rucker Road). View of F. M. 1709 (Southlake Blvd.) at Carroll Ave. View of existing pedestrian trails along a stream corridor in the Timarron neighborhood. Evaluate and make recommendations on possible storm water improvements in the S. Carroll Ave. area (immediately south of F.M. 1709) Develop S. Carroll Ave. from F.M. 1709 to Breezeway as a parkway with medians, landscaping, and sidewalks on both sides of the street. 6.2 Specific Recommendations and Implementation Strate Les Recommendation 1. Improve pedestrian access to schools and school facilities from adjoining neighborhoods. Justification Implementation There is currently limited Prioritize funding for sidewalks in pedestrian access to schools the CIP. and school facilities (such as Dragon Stadium). 2. Maximize pedestrian There is currently limited Prioritize funding for sidewalks, connectivity from pedestrian access to parks. trails, crosswalks, and other neighborhoods to park improvements in the CIP. facilities. Southlake 2025 Plan: 46 South Side Area Plan Phase II Analysis & Recommendations Resolution 05-006 Recommendation 3. Develop an interconnected network of trails and sidewalks linking neighborhoods to Southlake Town Square. 4. Preserve tree buffers along existing creeks and flood plains whenever possible. 5. Preserve existing tree buffers adjacent to neighborhoods. 6. Preserve existing tree buffers between new development and existing neighborhoods. 7. Develop a unique intersection treatment at Carroll Ave. & F.M. 1709. 8. Prioritize the burying of overhead utilities along portions of F.M. 1709 and Carroll Ave. Justification There is currently limited pedestrian access to Southlake Town Square. Trees serve as a filter for storm water runoff, provide critical habitat, and add aesthetic value. Trees help to provide privacy and add aesthetic value. Trees help to shield neighborhoods from noise and light from nearby development and add aesthetic value. A well-designed intersection treatment would complement Town Square and help to create a unique sense of place. Underground utilities would improve the visual character of F.M. 1709 and would enhance the Town Center's aesthetic integrity. Also, undergrounding improves safety by removing the overhead wires that may arc or be brought down during storms. March 15, 2005 Implementation Prioritize funding for sidewalks, trails, crosswalks, and other improvements in the CIP. Ensure that trees and vegetation along the stream corridors remain in a natural state. Develop regulations that allow for creative and flexible site design. Encourage the placement of critical environmental resources into a conservation easement to ensure the protection of the area. Encourage the placement of critical environmental resources into a conservation easement to ensure the protection of the area. Develop regulations that allow for creative and flexible site design.

Fund the undergrounding of electrical utilities through a future bond election. Southlake 2025 Plan: 47 South Side Area Plan Phase II Analysis & Recommendations Resolution 05-006 Recommendation 9. Protect the city's remaining ranching/agricultural and environmental areas in the southern part of the city by requiring residential development to occur in a manner that has the minimum impact on these resources. 10. Rehabilitate/protect stream corridors in conjunction with new development. 11. Evaluate and make recommendations on possible storm water improvements in the S. Carroll Ave. area immediately south of F.M. 1709) in conjunction with any development in the vicinity. 12. Develop S. Carroll Ave. from F.M. 1709 to Breezeway as a parkway with medians, landscaping, and sidewalks on both sides of the street. Southlake 2025 Plan: Phase II Justification Aesthetic and fiscal values of low -intensity rural ranching uses are significant. Open space also commands property value premiums and it preservation/conservation should be encouraged Protecting stream corridors reduces storm water run-off and reduces flooding. If protected in conjunction with an open space plan, protected stream corridors can add value to private development. Existing storm water drainage issues may limit future development opportunities. March 15, 2005 Implementation Evaluate applicable properties for the Rural Conservation Subdivision land use category and amend the land use plan map accordingly. Develop a set of policies that implement this recommendation in the city's ordinances (including drainage, subdivision, zoning, etc.) Have Public Works undertake a study on appropriate measures needed to mitigate any future development in the area. As a key street linking the Require all proposed development to city's Town Center, provide sidewalks along public and pedestrian safety and private streets, including along aesthetics are critical to Carroll Ave. Include the creating a functional, but development of the parkway as a part attractive street. of the median study. 48 South Side Area Plan Analysis & Recommendations Av 1 sbr '1a' 1 in kir%p-man e--; V4 A Pilo' . 5 a F-tww71ka sir/ K 't a'tie i WHOM.,\tl1 tel.' c f i ' :yi'i OAFS Cm. a ' + -'=.• ' 1 0 ,,`gyp 41 t mop —i Resolution 05-006 APPENDIX A Transition Land Use Categories Transition 1 (T-1) March 15, 2005 Purpose: The purpose of the Transition 1 (T-1) land use category is to provide an alternative tool to allow for the flexibility and creativity in the development of "transition" sites. The T-1 district is intended to consist of primarily non-residential uses; however, limited residential development may be appropriate in some cases. The standards and criteria established under this land use category constitute zeneral Quidelines for the staff, Planning & Zoning Commission, and City Council to evaluate comprehensive development proposals for specific transition properties as identified in the city's Land Use Plan. The T-1 transition land use may be utilized by the developer lieu of the underlying land use category in cases where master planned developments are proposed. Definition: This land use category is applied to transition properties that are adjacent to both commercial land uses or arterial roadways and lower intensity residential uses. These properties share unique characteristics in that, they have commercial potential due to adjacency to a major arterial or existing commercial uses, but need to address compatibility issues with adjacent established neighborhoods. This land use category is intended to allow for creative development and flexible transition opportunities with a mix of development types. Each individual area designated for Transition 1 (T-1) land use category will generally range from 15 to 40 acres. Land Use Mix: The percentages below for the land use mix in the T-1 Transition category are intended only to be guidelines, and greater flexibility may be appropriate under site specific conditions. Land Use Percentage o fAcreage Flexibility Allowed Retail 30% 10% Office 35% 20% Residential 15% 15% Open space 15% 15% Civic use 5% 10% Total 100% Scale and Context Criteria: Scale and context criteria describe intensity, location, and compatibility criteria for the mix of land uses proposed. Retail uses: Retail uses are to be located at a major street intersection or immediately adjacent to existing retail development along a major arterial. Retail uses are to be limited to convenience and neighborhood retail and service uses such as a drug store, grocery store, laundry, cleaners, etc. developed in conjunction with the adjoining retail commercial uses. Southlake 2025 Plan A - 1 South Side Area Plan Phase H Appendix A Resolution 05-006 March 15, 2005 Provide safe and easy pedestrian access to the retail from the surrounding neighborhoods and other adjacent developments. The total amount of retail in a specific T-1 category is recommended to be in the 25,000 sq.ft.-50,000 sq.ft. range. Office uses: Office uses are to be located along a major arterial or immediately adjacent to existing or proposed retail uses. Office uses are encouraged to be limited to professional offices that are 1 — 2 stories with footprints between 5,000 — 8,000 square feet. This criterion is established to limit surface parking and maximize the shared usage of parking between retail and office uses. This land use category is not intended for larger planned office or business parks and campuses. Residential uses: Residential uses in are to be located between the proposed office or retail uses and existing residential neighborhoods. These uses are intended to provide a lower intensity transition between existing neighborhoods and commercial uses. Residential uses should be well integrated with proposed open space and other civic uses to create a sense of place. They should also be integrated with proposed commercial uses in a manner that provides internal automobile and pedestrian access to convenience commercial uses. Residential uses are recommended to be to the density and scale that is appropriate based on the context and character of the proposed overall development. Open space: Consider environmental elements as "features," rather than constraints. Emphasis shall be placed on preservation of existing wooded areas and stream corridors. Avoid channeling or piping of streams. Streams or creeks should become a focal point rather than the rear of the development. Provide natural walking paths along stream and creek corridors. Well designed and integrated open spaces are critical to the creation of successful mixed-use neighborhoods. Open spaces should be designed to add value to proposed development and not as an "after -thought". To that end, open spaces should maximize frontage along residential and office uses. Open spaces shall occupy a prominent place in the development of a neighborhood and form the center pieces of a community. Open spaces are intended to be the "front -yards" and invite passive recreational activities. Open spaces may be in the form of pocket parks, children's play areas, squares, linear greens, and conservation areas. Active sports fields and activities are not recommended in the T- I land use category. Southlake 2025 Plan A-2 South Side Area Plan Phase II Appendix A i T Resolution 05-006 March 15, 2005 Use the topography as an advantage, do not flatten the site. Preserve views. Civic uses: Civic uses such as day -cares, post office, police substation, local government offices, churches, etc. are encouraged in the T-1 category. Ideally, civic uses should be located centrally in the development and provide convenient access to all other uses and activities in the development. Civic uses are to be designed to the scale and context of the neighborhood. Uses are encouraged to be appropriately scaled to the proposed development and generally limited to a maximum of 10,000 square feet of built area. Some representative images of land uses in the T-1 Transition land use category are included below: Residential Use Residential Use Neighborhood scale retail uses Natural open space areas Professional Office Use Professional Office Use Integrated Open Space t Civic Use Southlake 2025 Plan A-3 South Side Area Plan Phase 11 Appendix A Resolution 05-006 March 15, 2005 Overall Character and Design: Given the close proximity of the different land uses permitted in this land use category, attention to design detail is critical to a successful development in the T-1 land use category. The proposed development is encouraged to establish an overall concept and theme for the project as a whole. Emphasis should be placed on an interconnected street pattern that encourages internal circulation, both automobile and pedestrian, within the district. Development should limit the visual impact of surface parking lots by dividing parking lots into smaller pods and locating parking to the side and rear of buildings. The scale of development should encourage 1-2 story buildings which are oriented toward the street, limiting the impact of surface parking lots. Street design shall be compatible with the character of the development. Streets are encouraged to create a safe and inviting walking environment through an interconnected network of roads with sidewalks, street trees, street furniture, and amenities. Streetscane Discouraged Encouraged Recommended street and streetscape design in the T-1 Transition Land Use Category. Southlake 2025 Plan A-4 South Side Area Plan Phase II Appendix A Resolution 05-006 Transition 2 (T-2) March 15, 2005 Purpose: The purpose of the Transition 2 (T-2) land use category is to provide an alternative tool to allow flexibility in the development of smaller "transition" sites. The T-2 district is intended to consist of primarily residential uses; however, non-residential development may be appropriate in some cases, particularly near an arterial roadway. The standards and criteria established under this land use category constitute Qeneral euidelines for the staff, Planning & Zoning Commission, and City Council to evaluate comprehensive development proposals for specific properties as identified in the city's Land Use Plan. The T-2 transition land use may be utilized by the developer lieu of the underlying land use category in cases where master planned developments are proposed. Definition: This land use category is applied to smaller transition properties that are adjacent to both lower intensity commercial land uses and lower intensity residential uses. These properties share unique characteristics, in that they have limited commercial potential due to adjacency to existing commercial development but need to address compatibility issues with adjacent established neighborhoods. T-2 properties may also have significant environmental limitations such as flood plain or significant grade issues. This land use category is intended to provide creative infill and flexible transition opportunities with a mix of residential and limited commercial land uses. Each individual area designated for Transition 2 land use category shall generally range from 4 to 20 acres. Land Use Mix: The percentages below for the land use mix in the T-2 Transition category are intended only to be guidelines, and greater flexibility may be appropriate under site specific conditions. Land Use Percentage of Acreage Flexibility Allowed Retail 5% f5% Office 10% 25% Residential 65% 25% Open space 15% 15% Civic uses 5% 10% Total 100% Scale and Context Criteria: Scale and context criteria describe intensity, location, and compatibility criteria for the mix of land uses proposed. Retail uses: Retail uses are to be limited convenience corner commercial stores and similar neighborhood service and scaled retail uses located at a street intersection. Such neighborhood serving retail shall be pedestrian oriented and limit its impact on adjoining neighborhood. The total amount of retail uses in a specific T-2 category is recommended to be less than 10,000 square feet. Southlake 2025 Plan A-5 South Side Area Plan Phase II Appendix A Resolution 05-006 Office uses: March 15, 2005 Office uses are to be located along a major arterial, collector, or immediately adjacent to existing retail uses. Office uses are encouraged to be limited to professional offices that are 1 — 2 stories with footprints between 3,000 — 6,000 square feet. This criterion is established to limit surface parking and maximize the shared usage of parking between retail and office uses. This land use category is not intended for larger planned office or business parks and campuses. Residential uses: Residential uses are to be located adjacent to proposed office and existing residential neighborhoods. These uses are intended to provide a lower intensity transition between existing neighborhoods and non-residential uses. Residential uses should be well integrated with proposed open space and other civic uses to create a sense of place. They should also be integrated with proposed commercial uses in a manner that provides internal automobile and pedestrian access to convenience commercial uses. Residential uses are recommended to be to the density and scale that is appropriate based on the context and character of the proposed overall development. As a general rule, density may be off -set by pedestrian oriented design, streetscape treatments, open space allocation, and other amenities. Oven space: Well designed and integrated open spaces are critical to the creation of successful mixed-use neighborhoods. Emphasis shall be placed on preservation of existing wooded areas and stream corridors. Avoid channeling or piping of streams. Streams or creeks should become a focal point rather than the rear of the development. Provide natural walking paths along stream and creek corridors. Open spaces should be designed to add value to proposed development and not as an "after -thought". To that end, open spaces should maximize frontage along residential and office uses. Open spaces shall occupy a prominent place in the development of a neighborhood and form the center pieces of a community. Southlake 2025 Plan A-6 South Side Area Plan Phase II Appendix A Resolution 05-006 March 15, 2005 Open spaces are intended to be the "front -yards" and invite passive recreational activities. Open spaces may be in the form of pocket parks, children's play areas, squares, linear greens, and conservation areas. Active sports fields and activities are not recommended in the T-2 land use category. To the extent possible, open spaces shall be designed to be contiguous with existing open spaces or provide pedestrian connections to existing trail or greenway networks. Use the topography as an advantage, do not flatten the site. Preserve views. Civic uses: Smaller scaled civic uses such as day -cares, post office, police substation, local government offices, churches, etc. may be appropriate in the T-2 category. Ideally, civic uses should be located centrally in the development and provide convenient access to all other uses and activities in the development. Civic uses are to be designed to the scale and context of the neighborhood and generally limited to a maximum of 7,000 square feet of built area. Some representative images of land uses in the T-2 Transition land use category are included below: Images of commercial and civic uses in the T-2 Transition Land Use Category Images of natural and designed open spaces in the T-2 Transition Land Use Category Southlake 2025 Plan A-7 South Side Area Plan Phase II Appendix A Resolution 05-006 March 15, 2005 Images of residential uses in the T-2 Transition Land Use Category Overall Character and Design: Given the close proximity of the different land uses permitted in this land use category, attention to design detail is critical to a successful development in the T-2 land use category. The proposed development is encouraged to establish an overall concept and theme for the project as a whole. Emphasis should be placed on an interconnected street pattern that encourages internal circulation, both automobile and pedestrian, within the district. Commercial development should limit the visual impact of surface parking lots by dividing parking lots into smaller pods and locating parking to the side and rear of buildings. The scale of development should encourage 1-2 story buildings which are oriented toward the street, limiting the impact of surface parking lots. Street design shall be compatible with the character of the development. Streets are encouraged to create a safe and inviting walking environment through an interconnected network of roads with sidewalks, street trees, street furniture, and amenities.

Southlake 2025 Plan A-9 South Side Area Plan Phase II Appendix A Resolution 05-006 7 - -__ March 15, 2005 Appendix B Rural Conservation Subdivision (RCS) Land Use Category The purpose of the Rural Conservation Subdivision Land Use District is to protect and preserve a portion of Southlake' agricultural/ranching environment and rural character. Areas to be considered for this desienation: Areas greater than 20 acres that consist of either: large estates ranchettes equestrian activities, agricultural activities. Served by rural cross section roadway (bar ditches) Natural features, agricultural, grazing, or equestrian uses. Features of the land use district 1) Standard subdivision development at a net density range of up to one-half (0.5) dwelling units per acre will be allowed. 2) Subdivisions with a contiguous land area of greater than twenty (20) acres may be permitted to develop smaller lots (>20,000 sq. ft.) under a cluster option at an overall net density not to exceed one (1) dwelling units per acre, provided that the following conditions are met: Sewer and water service is available. For every square foot of land allocated for a residential lot, an equal or greater amount of open space will need to be dedicated. The open space dedicated shall be continuous and shall be protected by a perpetual easement held by a qualifying party approved by the City. The open space will remain in a natural or passive state. Clustered lots shall be developed in the least obtrusive location and away from environmentally sensitive areas such as tree areas, active agricultural activities, or equestrian activities. 3) Properties designated RCS are eligible for purchase development rights (PDRs) to developers in area designated. 4) In some cases, SF1-A zoning may be appropriate for tracts that do not meet the minimum lot size requirements of the RCS land use category. Appendix B B-1 Rural Conservation Subdivision Land Use Category Resolution 05-006 Appendix B-1 Rural Conservation Subdivision - An Introduction March 15, 2005 Conventional zoning does little to protect open space or to conserve rural character. The reason many subdivisions consist of nothing more than houselots and streets is because zoning and subdivision design standards usually require developers to provide nothing more. While the zoning ordinance provides detailed standards for lot area, setbacks, density and floor area, the ordinance does not set any noteworthy standards for the quantity (except for the PUD district), quality and configuration of open space to be preserved. Conventional zoning assigns a development designation to every acre of land. The only lands which are normally not designated for development are wetlands and floodplains. Conventional zoning has been accurately described as "planned sprawl," because every square foot of each development parcel is converted to front yards, back yards, streets, sidewalks, or driveways. Nothing is left over to become open space, in this land -consumptive process. A local governments interested in limiting the development of all the land area within a city, now have a practical and effective alternative: conservation subdivision design. This technique has been successfully implemented by a number of municipalities in New England and the Mid - Atlantic states, and by several counties in Virginia, Colorado, Washington, and California and is gaining popularity in the Midwest. In order to avoid disturbing the equity held by existing landowners of large tracts, conservation subdivision design allows the same overall amount of development that is already permitted. The key difference is that this technique requires new construction to be located on only a portion -- typically half -- of the parcel. The remaining open space is permanently protected under a conservation easement co-signed by a local conservation commission or land trust, and recorded in the registry of deeds. Example: Conventional Subdivision Design Conventional Subdivision Design Appendix B-1 F_cample: Conservation Subdivision Conservation Subdivision Design B-1-1 Rural Conservation Subdivision An Introduction Resolution 05-006 March 15, 2005 Rural Conservation Subdivision Design The basic principle of cluster development is to group new homes onto part of the development parcel, so that the remainder can be preserved as unbuilt open space. The degree to which this accomplishes a significant saving of land while providing an attractive and comfortable living environment depends largely on the quality of the zoning regulations and the expertise of the development designer. Although the concept of clustering is fairly simple, this "new" form of development has raised concerns among some residents of rural or suburbanizing areas because it is quite different from the conventional, standardized subdivision pattern with which most of us are very familiar. Interestingly, the conventional suburban model, commonplace in many growing communities, is actually a pattern that is at odds with the otherwise traditional rural landscape. It looks "at home" only in our sprawling metropolitan post-war suburbs, where it has become the predominant building pattern. The Advantages of Rural Conservation Subdivision Design The conventional approach to development results in the entire parcel being covered with house -lots and subdivision streets. Communities which have had a lot of experience with this type of development ultimately realize that, as one parcel after another is eventually developed, their formerly open landscape evolves into a network of "wall-to-wall" subdivisions. The beauty of open space zoning is that it is easy to administer, does not penalize the rural landowner of large tracts, does not take development potential away from the developer, and is extremely effective in permanently protecting a substantial proportion of the development tract. It does not require large public expenditures, and allows land owners and others to extract their rightful equity without seeing their entire land holding bulldozed for complete coverage by house -lots. This pattern of down -sized house -lots and preserved open space offers distinct economic advantages to all parties. Developers can reduce the costs of building roads and water and sewer lines. Local governments save on periodic road re -surfacing. And home buyers often pay less because of these cost savings. Landowners who view their property as their "pension" no longer have to destroy their woods and fields in order to retire with a guaranteed income, as their equity is not diminished. Local governments do not have to raise property taxes to finance expensive open space acquisitions. Developers are not placed under unreasonable constraints, and realtors gain a special marketing tool, in that views from the new houses will be guaranteed by conservation easements protecting the open space from future development. Appendix B-1 B-1-2 Rural Conservation Subdivision An Introduction Resolution 05-006 March 15, 2005 Ouestions About Rural Conservation Subdivision Development: Will It Harmonize With Its Surroundings? A concern that is often heard is that cluster housing will not blend in with an areas rural character or established neighborhoods because the lots will be less than an acre in size. However, it is contended that a well designed cluster development that is well integrated with its surrounding does more to enhance the rural environment than a standard 1 acre subdivision. Also, the open space can be designed in a manner that it abuts existing established residential neighborhoods or lots. Property Values? The related issue of "impact upon surrounding property values" is also often raised. As mentioned above, along any part of the parcel perimeter where cluster lots would adjoin standard -sized lots or existing neighborhoods, permanently protected open space would be required. Lots abutting permanent open space almost always enjoy higher property values. Also, most realtors would attest to the fact that all lots within a well- designed cluster development usually gain enhanced value as a result of the protected open space. How will it work? Create a Purchase Development Rights (PDR) program as a voluntary open -space protection technique that compensates a landowner from limiting future development on the land. Consider allowing developers developing under the EC district to use purchase development rights from areas designated Rural Conservation Subdivision and apply the rights to the EC -1 district (in the S.H. 114 Corridor). Southlake is one of the fasting growing cities in the Metroplex and as a result much of its rural character is disappearing rapidly. Many rapidly growing cities throughout the United States utilize a PDR program to allow property owners to protect in perpetuity, critical natural and environmental resources. A landowner's development rights include the right to subdivide and develop the property. Often compared to mineral rights, development rights can be separated from a land owner's property. Under a PDR program, a land owner voluntarily sells the right to develop a parcel of land to a public agency interested in natural resource conservation. The development value is determined by subtracting the value of the land as restricted from its value on the open market. While a conservation easement is placed on the land and recorded in title, the land remains in private ownership, and the land owner still retains all other rights and responsibilities associated with being a property owner, including the right to prevent trespass and the right to sell the property. PDR programs have been used by local and state governments since the mid 1970's, and at least twenty states have implemented the program. The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department is promoting PDR, and the largest private conservation organization in the United States, the American Farmland Trust (AFT), opened a Texas field office in Texas in 1999. Private conservation organizations like AFT have already begun purchasing development rights in Texas using private funding. Appendix B-1 B-1-3 Rural Conservation Subdivision An Introduction
