EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Southlake 2025 Plan is the city’s comprehensive plan update and a blueprint for its
future. It is a statement of community values and establishes a vision for the long-term growth
and development of the city. On March 2, 2004, City Council adopted Phase I – Vision, Goals,
and Objective of the Southlake 2025 Plan. This document forms the basis for Phase II –
developing the specific recommendations on the land use, thoroughfare (mobility),
environmental protection, and other elements.
In order to facilitate a detailed but efficient planning process for Phase II, the Planning and
Zoning Commission has divided the city into nine (9) distinct planning areas. The analysis and
recommendations for the West Southlake Blvd. (F.M. 1709)/Pearson Area Plan (Area B), the
West Highland/North Peytonville Area Plan (Area E), and the North Side Area Plan (Area F)
have been grouped together and form the last three of the nine planning areas in this phase of the
Southlake 2025 Plan. The purpose of this report is to:
1. Establish a detailed background for all the plan areas and planning process;
2. Identify current development constraints and issues in each of the plan areas;
3. Identify critical environmental and natural resources to be preserved in each of the plan
areas;
4. Explore development opportunities within all the study areas; and
5. Make recommendations for the future development of each of the study areas.
The area plans developed as a part of the Southlake 2025 Plan process will be used as the
basis for updating the city’s land use and master thoroughfare plans and creating new plans for
environmental protection and mobility. Also, these area plans will be utilized in setting priorities
in the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) planning process, updating current development
ordinances, and could serve as a catalyst for creating new planning related programs.
