BACKGROUND INFORMATION
OWNER/
APPLICANT: MG Luxury Homes
PROPERTY SITUATION: 1425 Randol Mill Ave, generally located approximately 400’ south of the
intersection of Davis Blvd. and Randol Mill Ave.
LEGAL DESCRIPTION: Tract 1E02, John Childress Heirs Survey, Abstract No. 253
LAND USE CATEGORY: Low Density Residential
CURRENT ZONING: “AG” Agricultural District
PROPOSED ZONING: “SF-1A” Single Family Residential District.
HISTORY: - The property was annexed into the City in 1987 and given the “AG”
Agricultural District zoning designation.
- A single family home that was constructed in 1975 prior to annexation
was demolished in 2019.
SOUTHLAKE 2035 PLAN: Consolidated Future Land Use Plan
The 2035 future land use designation for the site is Low Density
Residential.
Purpose: The purpose of the Low Density Residential land use category
is to provide for and to protect low intensity detached single-family
residential development that promotes the openness and rural character
of Southlake.
Definition (this definition was updated by passage of Ordinance No.
1186 on February 20, 2018): 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 rights-of-way, easement,
and lots designated for public or private streets. Other suitable activities
are those permitted in the Public Parks / Open Space and Public / Semi-
Public categories. The Low Density Residential category encourages the
openness and rural character of the City of Southlake.
Pathways Master Plan & Sidewalk Plan
The Master Pathways Plan shows a future ≥8’ multi-trail on the east side
of Randol Mill Ave. An 8’ multi-use trail was constructed with the
improvements to Randol Mill Ave.
TRANSPORTATION
ASSESSMENT: Area Road Network and Conditions
The Master Thoroughfare Plan shows Randol Mill Ave. to be a six-lane
divided arterial with 130’ to 140’ of right of way. Adequate right of way
exists for Randol Mill Ave.
Case No. Attachment A
ZA21-0037 Page 2
Traffic Impact
Two driveways that were constructed with the improvements to Randol
Mill Ave. provide access to the proposed lots. No changes to the existing
driveways are proposed.
TREE PRESERVATION: Both lots comply with the Existing Tree Cover Preservation Requirements
of the Tree Preservation Ordinance 585-E. Lot 1 has 34% of existing tree
cover and a minimum of 60% is required to be preserved. A total of 60%
of the existing tree cover is proposed to be preserved.
Lot 2 has 46% of existing tree cover and a minimum of 50% the existing
tree cover is required to be preserved. A total of 75% of the existing tree
cover is proposed to be preserved.
UTILITIES: The property is served by an existing 12” water line in Randol Mill Ave.
City sewer is not available to the property, so the lots will be served by
on-site sewage facilities (OSSF). The applicant has provided site
suitability analyses for both lots that were prepared by a geotechnical
engineer stating that the lots are suitable for surface discharge (aerobic)
systems.
DRAINAGE: Existing drainage is generally west to east across the property.
CITIZEN INPUT: A SPIN meeting for this project was held on May 25, 2021. Please see
the SPIN Report attached separately.
STAFF COMMENTS: Attached is Concept Plan Review Summary No. 2, dated May 27, 2021.
