COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: Consolidated Future Land Use Plan
Underlying Future Land Use Designation
The underlying future land use designation for the site is "Office
Commercial".
The Office Commercial category is a commercial category designed and
intended for the exclusive use of office and limited office -related activities.
It is established for and will be allocated to those districts best suited for
supporting commercial activity of an office character. It has been
established to encourage and permit general professional and business
offices of high quality and appearance, in attractive landscaped
surroundings with the types of uses and design exterior appearance so
controlled as to be generally compatible with existing and future adjacent
and surrounding residential development. Properties with this designation
may serve as a transition between established residential neighborhoods,
major roadways, and retail development. Other suitable activities are
those permitted in the Public Parks/Open Space and Public/Semi-Public
categories previously discussed.
Optional Land Use Overlay
The optional land use overlay designation is "Multi -Tenant Office Overlay"
The Multi -Tenant Office category is a commercial overlay category
designed and intended for the use of high- quality, medium to large-scale
office buildings of 2-4 stories that may be build -to -suit or speculative
("spec") built. These office developments are envisioned to be 50,000
square feet or larger in either a standalone or office park configuration,
and are for the use of corporate offices, professional services firms,
financial firms, information technology and media companies, biomedical
companies, research and development, medical office, and other users

which drive demand for medium to large-scale office buildings. These
buildings are less prominent than high-rise office with floor layouts that
are designed for maximum user flexibility.
Mobility & Master Thoroughfare Plan
The property is bounded by Shady Oaks Drive to the west and the S.H.
114 access road to the east. SH-114 is designated as a Freeway with 300-
500 ft. right of way and Shady Oaks Drive is designated as a C2U, 2-lane
undivided collector with 60 ft. of right of way.
Pathways Master Plan & Sidewalk Plan
The Pathways Master Plan calls for an 8 ft. minimum sidewalk along Shady
Oaks Drive and the S.H. 114 access road. Per the Subdivision Ordinance,
a minimum 5 ft. sidewalk is required along residential streets. The
applicant is providing the required sidewalks along Shady Oaks Drive, the
S.H. 114 access road, and the proposed residential street.
TRANSPORTATION
ASSESSMENT: Area Road Network and Conditions
The proposed development has one driveway entrance from the S.H. 114
access road for the office component. A street is proposed connecting to
Shady Oaks Drive for the residential component.
Traffic Counts
Based on the (2017-2018) City of Southlake Traffic Count Report
Traffic Impact
The anticipated site traffic for the proposed development is approximately
290 vehicle trips on a daily basis.
UTILITIES: There is an existing 10-inch sewer line and an existing 6-inch water line
along Shady Oaks Drive.
DRAINAGE: The property predominantly drains east to west, although the southeast
portion of the property drains toward S.H. 114 and to the south. The plan
proposes capturing stormwater into the new street on the residential
portion of the property and into a detention pond on the western portion of
the property within the open space lot.
