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 Pathways Master Plan has no recommendations for Lonesome
Dove Rd. A 5’ minimum sidewalk is required along Lonesome Dove Rd.
and the internal street and the 5’ sidewalk is shown on the plans.
TRANSPORTATION
ASSESSMENT: Area Road Network and Conditions
The Master Thoroughfare Plan shows Lonesome Dove Rd. to be a local
residential street, which requires a minimum 50’ right of way. The
subdivision proposes street connections to S. Gravel Circle and to
Lonesome Dove Rd.
TREE PRESERVATION: There is 21.29% of existing tree cover on the site and a minimum of 60%
of the existing tree cover would be required to be preserved if the request
was to a straight zoning district. There is 61.17% of the existing tree cover
proposed to be preserved, and 38.83% proposed to be removed.
For property sought to be zoned for the Downtown zoning district or a
planned development zoning district, including an S-P-1 Site Plan, S-P-2
Site Plan, Transition, Rural Conservation, Planned Unit Development, or
Employment Center zoning district, the City Council shall consider the
application for a Conservation Analysis or Plan in conjunction with the
corresponding development application (as established in Table 1.0).
The Planning and Zoning Commission shall review the application and
make a recommendation to the City Council regarding the application.
The City Council shall approve the Plan or Analysis if the Council finds
that the Plan or Analysis provides for the:
i. placement of building pads, parking areas, driveways, streets, and
utility easements so as to maximize the preservation of environmental
features of the property including mature tree stands, natural creeks
and ponds, and significant grades;
ii. maximizes the preservation of tree cover preservation areas indicated
on the Environmental Resource Protection Map;
iii. maximizes the preservation of existing tree stands with the potential
to buffer residential areas from the noise, glare, and visual effects of
nonresidential uses;
iv. maximizes the preservation of existing trees, if any, adjoining a natural
or man-made drainage creek;
v. maximizes the preservation of existing protected trees along rural
roadways and other streets as identified and prioritized in the Street
Typology designation; and
vi. mitigation of altered trees through proposed tree replacement
procedures pursuant to this Ordinance.
UTILITIES: The development proposes to connect to the existing 8” water line in
Lonesome Dove Rd. and to an existing 6” water line in S. Gravel Circle.
Sewer is proposed to connect to an existing 8” line in S. Gravel Circle.
