SOUTHLAKE
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: Consolidated Future Land Use Plan
The underlying land use designation is Mixed Use.
Purpose: To provide an option for large‐scale, master‐planned, mixed
use developments that combine land uses such as office facilities,
shopping, dining, parks, and residential uses.
Definition: The range of activities permitted, the diverse natural features,
and the varying proximity to thoroughfares of areas in the Mixed Use
category necessitates comprehensively planned and coordinated
development. New development must be compatible with and not
intrusive to existing development. Further, special attention should be
placed on the design and transition between different uses. Typically, the
Mixed Use designation is intended for medium‐ to higher‐intensity office
buildings, hotels, commercial activities, retail centers, and residential
uses. Nuisance‐free, wholly enclosed light manufacturing and assembly
uses that have no outdoor storage are permitted if designed to be
compatible with adjacent uses. Other suitable activities are those
permitted in the Public Parks/Open Space, Public/Semi‐Public, Low
Density Residential, Medium Density Residential, Retail Commercial, and
Office Commercial categories.
The optional future land use designation is Restaurant and Specialty
Retail Overlay.
The Restaurant and Specialty Retail Overlay is a commercial overlay
category designed and intended for the concentration of unique dining
and specialty retail options not otherwise found in Southlake’s established
retail and restaurant centers. The purpose of this category is to foster the
development of a dynamic, destination restaurant district. This district
should feature mostly independent, unique or local restaurants offering
Case No. Attachment A
ZA24-0064 Page 3
diverse and healthy cuisine in a sit-down format, which may also include
aspects of culinary tourism or educational components up to and
including schools offering training in culinary arts. The overlay may
provide for incubation of new businesses and concepts which might
otherwise struggle to operate in more traditional retail commercial spaces.
Physical aspects of this district may include proximity to Community
Services uses, proximity to niche retail, frontage onto shared space for
dining or gathering rather than streets, and shared parking.
Mobility & Master Thoroughfare Plan
Kirkwood Blvd. is classified as an “A4D” four-lane divided arterial with
100’ of right of way. S.H. 114 is classified as a Freeway with 300’ – 500’
of right of way.
Pathways Master Plan & Sidewalk Plan
The Master Pathways Plan calls for a minimum 8 ft. trail along the east
side of S.H. 114 and a less than 8 ft. sidewalk along the south side of W.
Kirkwood Blvd. The proposed concept plan includes 5 ft. sidewalks along
both roadways adjacent to the site.
TRANSPORTATION
ASSESSMENT: Area Road Network and Conditions
Access to the project will be provided by two access driveways onto W.

TREE PRESERVATION: There is approximately 39% existing tree cover on the site, of which
approximately 16% is proposed to be preserved. A standard zoning
district requires that a minimum 60% of existing tree cover be preserved.
The applicant is proposing that the tree removal be allowed as shown on
the plan.
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.
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

Tree Conservation/Landscape Review
TREE CONSERVATION COMMENTS:
1. If the development was proposed as traditional zoning the proposed tree preservation would not
comply with the Existing Tree Cover Preservation Requirements of the Tree Preservation
Ordinance 585-E. There is 39% of existing tree cover on the property and a minimum of 60%
would be required to be preserved. The percentage of existing tree cover proposed to be preserved
has not been provided, but it would not amount to 60% of the overall existing tree cover.
There are existing trees both protected and marginal proposed to be preserved within the interior
of the development but because of the topography on the property the trees would most likely
need to be removed or altered and mitigation would be required.
* Except as provided by subsection 7.2.b. of the Tree Preservation Ordinance, a Tree Conservation
Analysis or Tree Conservation Plan shall be approved if it will preserve existing tree cover in
accordance with the percentage requirements established by Table 2.0. If the property has
previously received a tree permit related to development, the percentage of existing tree cover at
the time the first such permit was issued shall be used to calculate the minimum existing tree
cover that must be preserved under this section.
Table 2.0 – Existing Tree Cover Preservation Requirements
Percentage of existing tree cover on the
entire site
Minimum percentage of the
existing tree cover to be preserved*
0% – 20% 70%
20.1 – 40% 60%
40.1% - 60% 50%
60.1% - 80% 40%
80.1% - 100% 30%
*The minimum percentage of existing tree cover to be preserved shall exclude any area in
public rights-of-way as approved by City Council.
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;
Case No. Attachment C
ZA24-0064 Page 4
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.
* Please be aware that all existing trees shown to be preserved on the City Council approved Tree
Conservation Plan must be preserved and protected during all phases and construction of the
development. Alteration or removal of any of the existing trees shown to be preserved on the
approved Tree Conservation Plan is a violation of the Tree Preservation Ordinance and the zoning
as approved by the Southlake City Council. Please ensure that the layout of all structures,
easements, utilities, structures grading, and any other structure proposed to be constructed do not
conflict with existing trees intended to be preserved.
LANDSCAPE COMMENTS:
1. Label all required bufferyards as to type and width.
2. Parking lot islands shall have a minimum width of 12’ back-to-back if curbed or 13’ edge-to-
edge if no curb is intended and shall be equal to the length of the parking stall.
