PROJECT: Land Use Plan Amendment for Highland Terrace EXECUTIVE
SUMMARY: On behalf of White Chapel Southlake, LLC, the Sage Group is requesting approval
of a Land Use Plan Amendment from “Public/Semi-Public” to “Medium Density
Residential” Land Use Designation use on property described as a portion of Lot
1R1, Block 1, Southlake Assembly of God, City of Southlake, Tarrant County,
Texas and located at 101 E Highland Street., Southlake, Texas. Current Zoning:
"CS" Community Services District. Proposed Zoning: "SF-20A" Single Family
Residential District. SPIN Neighborhood #7.
DETAILS: The property is generally located on the southeast intersection of N. White Chapel
Blvd. and E. Highland Street.
The purpose of this request is to propose a Land Use Plan amendment appropriate
for developing a 9 lot single family residential subdivision on an approximately
5.358 acres portion of the 6.77 acre church site (See Case No. ZA22-0018). The
church site occupies approximately 1.4 acres of the overall site. The remaining
5.358 acres is unimproved and is proposed for residential subdivision. The current
the “Public / Semi-Public” Land Use Designation does not include residential
development as an appropriate land use. A Land Use Plan Amendment to the
“Medium Density Residential” LUD is needed to justify the proposed residential
development.

Applicant’s Highland Terrace Narrative:
The proposed Highland Terrace neighborhood is intended to be a high-quality, half-acre lot development,
consistent with “Medium Density Residential” designation of the City of Southlake Future Land Use Plan.
We are requesting SF-20A zoning, and all lots will be at least 20,000 s.f. in size. It will be developed by
Hat Creek Development, with a long track record of delivering high quality neighborhoods in Southlake.
Development Layout:
The property is currently an open space area owned by the adjacent church. It falls off from the frontage
along White Chapel (on the western boundary) to the east a total of almost 40’. The plan anticipates a
single cul-de-sac road from White Chapel, with lots on either side “terracing” down the slope. Each home
will be approximately 8 feet, in elevation, higher or lower than the neighboring home, allowing each to
access the great views to the east.
Home Design:
Each of the 9 homes in this development are intended to be built by local Southlake area based custom
home builders. The plans for each homesite will be subject to a comprehensive design and review
process to ensure the high level of quality for design, layout, materials and construction methods.
