CURRENT ZONING: “S-P-2” Generalized Site Plan District with “C-3” General Commercial uses
HISTORY: May 4, 2000: A preliminary plat for Lot 1, Block 1 and Lots 1 and 2,
Block 2 of Gateway Plaza Phase II. (ZA00-032)

SOUTHLAKE 2030 PLAN: Consolidated Future Land Use Plan
The 2035 future land use designation for the site is Regional Retail. The
Regional Retail land use category
is a higher-intensity commercial
category providing for regional retail
shopping facilities that generally
draw customers from a very large
market area (5-mile radius or
greater). Development within this
land use may consist of a single
large anchor store (> 100,000 sq.
ft.) or have multiple anchor tenants
(department, supermarket, drug,
home improvement, sporting,
variety, or specialty) along with pad
sites developed on the fringe of the
area. Other permitted secondary uses include fast food, restaurants,

ZA22-0031 Page 2
banks and service stations; however, these uses must be integrated into
the larger primary use. Regional Retail designated areas should have
direct access to State Highway 114. Also, development within the
Regional Retail land use category must adhere to specific design
guidelines (see appendix).
Land Use Mix*: The percentages below for the land use mix in the
Regional Retail category are intended only to be guidelines, and greater
flexibility may be appropriate under site specific conditions.
*These percentages are not regulatory and should only be used as a guide.
Mobility & Master Thoroughfare Plan
The current access to the property is provided by two driveways onto N.
Nolen Drive, an A5U arterial with an 84-foot right-of-way.
Pathways Master Plan & Sidewalk Plan
The Master Pathways Plan shows a future multi-use sidewalk (>=8’) along
the south side of the SH 114 eastbound frontage road and future (< 8’)
sidewalks along both sides of N. Nolen Drive.
