PROJECT: Land Use Plan Amendment for Lot 1, Block 1 Raven Bend Addition EXECUTIVE
SUMMARY: J. D. Kearney is requesting approval of a Land Use Plan Amendment to change
the Land Use Designation from “Low Density Residential” to “Medium Density
Residential “on property described as Lot 1, Block 1, Raven Bend Addition, City of
Southlake, Tarrant County, Texas and located at 1100 Raven Bend Ct., Southlake,
Texas. SPIN Neighborhood #6.
DETAILS: The property is located at the northeast intersection of N. Peytonville Ave. and
Raven Bend Court.
The proposal is to change the Land Use Plan to a Land Use Designation
appropriate for the redevelopment of one single family residential lot into two single
family residential lots. The lot is located within Raven Bend Addition consisting of
13 single family residential lots, each approximately 1 acre in area. Because the
proposed redevelopment of the lot is inconsistent with the current “Low Density
Residential” Land Use Designation, a Land Use Plan Amendment to the “Medium
Density Residential” Land Use Designation is needed to justify the proposed
redevelopment.
Existing Land Use Designation – Low Density Residential
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: 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.
Proposed Land Use Designation – Medium Density Residential
MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL
Purpose: The purpose of the Medium Density Residential land use category is to
promote a neighborhood setting primarily comprised of single family detached
houses.
Definition: The Medium Density Residential category is suitable for any single-
family detached residential development. Other suitable activities are those
permitted in the Public Parks/Open Space and Public/Semi-Public categories
previously discussed.
