Comprehensive Plan Analysis
Mixed Use
The purpose of this land use category is to provide
an option for large-scale, master -planned, mixed
use developments that combine land uses such as
office facilities. shODDina. dinina. Darks. 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
Page 1 Item #7 — Magnolia Office Southlake
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.
The Future Land Use Plan also provides scale and context criteria for this land use designation.
The applicable items are shown below for reference.
General:
• Buildings and their pedestrian entrances are to be oriented towards internal streets.
• Larger -format retail uses (with footprints larger than 40,000 s.f.) shall be located adjacent
to the arterial or highway with pedestrian entrances from internal streets.
Retail and Office Uses:
Pedestrian -oriented or automobile -oriented.
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
"afterthought". 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.
• Use the topography as an advantage, do not flatten the site.
• Preserve views.
Overall Character and Design:
• Buildings are to be designed to be pedestrian friendly.
• Buildings shall have shallow setbacks and sidewalks that are a minimum of 10'.
• Buildings are to be oriented towards other buildings (across the street) or towards open
spaces.
• Minimize the impact of surface parking.
• Mix up land uses to maximize shared parking.
Staff note: This property is located in the City's Southeast Sector, immediately south of the City's
SH 114 Land Use Corridor.
