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 1 - Vision, Goals, and
Objectives of the Southlake 2025 Plan. This document forms the basis for Phase II – developing
the specific recommendations on the Land Use, Thoroughfare (mobility), and other elements.
To facilitate a detailed but efficient planning process for Phase II, the Planning & Zoning
Commission divided the city into nine (9) separate planning areas. The Davis Boulevard/F. M.
1938 Corridor is the first one of the nine planning areas in the Phase II planning process. The
purpose of this report is to:
1. Establish a detailed background for the planning area and planning process;
2. Identify current development constraints and issues;
3. Identify critical environmental and natural resources to be preserved;
4. Explore development opportunities within the study area; and
5. Make recommendations for the future development of the area.
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.
