ITEM #6 DISCUSSION — Review, discuss, and make recommendations regarding a
proposed residential subdivision of 2530 Johnson Rd.
Staff presentation: Wayne Powell
• Future Land Use: Low -Density Residential
• Zoning: AG
• Thoroughfare Plan: Johnson Rd. is a C2U 70' Collector
• Summary: The applicant is looking to divide the property at 2530 Johnson Rd.
into three single-family residential lots
Questions for Staff from the Committee:
Dr. Magdalena Battles:
Where would they be entering the neighborhood?
Wayne Powell:
For Lot 1, the entry, I believe, would be off of Johnson, and for the upper two, it would
be from the cul-de-sac.
Frances Scharli:
Is that cul-de-sac stubbed out for that?
Dennis Killough:
Yes.
Dr. Magdalena Battles:
Yes, it is. It's always had a sign at the end that says something like "future land
development may happen here." It's always been there, so we've always known it's a
possibility. But I would say that Johnson Place will push back and say they'd better join
the HOA and better be a part of it, because they're going to have access to the park
space, and most of our HOA fees go to support the City Park that is in there. That
makes sense. We have one of those situations where the developer needed the land
back and we have to maintain it as a very large park, and these people would now have
access to it, so I think it would require them to be a part of the HOA. Just my two cents
on that.
Applicant Presentation Summary:
This presentation outlines a proposal for a two -acre property on Johnson Road, situated
near a creek and the edge of a floodplain. The property was initially intended for future
Southlake Corridor Planning Committee Item #8 — 2530 Johnson Rd
Meeting #51— June23, 2025 Page 3
inclusion in the Johnson Place development, which was established 18-19 years ago.
This is evidenced by a stubbed road and a temporary cul-de-sac with a sign indicating
future development.
The proposal aims to rezone the property to medium -density residential, aligning with
the existing zoning north of Johnson Road. The applicant intends to integrate these new
lots into the Johnson Place community, including contributing to the Homeowners
Association (HOA) dues.
The original idea of extending the road further into the floodplain or to another cul-de-
sac has been abandoned due to cost and the impracticality of extensive reclamation.
Instead, the current proposal involves creating three new lots, each over a half -acre in
size. Lot 1 would feature a new house on Johnson Road, maintaining the existing
frontage and visual continuity for neighbors. The remaining two lots would access from
the end of Remuda Court. This approach aims to minimize new concrete and utilize an
existing 50-foot right-of-way. The applicant believes this proposal makes sense for the
area and is compatible with the surrounding neighborhood.
Questions for the Applicant:
David Cunningham:
My main question was: Is Lot 2 usable, developable, with the floodplain shown where it
is, does the floodplain have to be moved?
Applicant:
It's usable. We've actually done some little house layouts on that. You just can't build in
the floodplain. Certainly, your backyard and even a pool and things can be in the
floodplain.
Gina Phalen:
I have a question about that same lot. Why do you have the rear yard setback adjacent
to the west side next to the front yard setback? I mean, shouldn't the rear yard be
opposite the front yard? Right, because your floodplain, you're trying to do your rear
setback where the floodplain is?
Applicant:
Well, it gives us more room to build. Right, and that would be it. People would probably
want their backyards on Lots 2 and 3 to look that way because that's open space. So it
makes sense for that to be the backyard in that regard.
Dr. Magdalena Battles:
Would you continue with the aesthetic of Johnson Place? Because obviously, you were
a developer for that, and it's a very cohesive look. They're Toll Brothers homes, and
would that continue with this if they're going to be an extension of the neighborhood?
Applicant:

Meeting #51— June23, 2025
Item #8 — 2530 Johnson Rd
Page 4
Well, you know, they're going to be new homes, and lots have changed in the last 20
years in home construction. They're probably actually going to be quite a bit more
expensive homes because, you know, everything's gone up. So, hopefully, the idea will
certainly make them compatible, but they will probably be different.
Frances Scharli:
My concern about this is the properties to the west of it are bigger lots. If we develop
that into three lots, then the next property is going to say, "Well, you just did that for
them. We want to do that too." And then the next one's going to say the same thing.
And it concerns me that we're taking these one -acre -plus lots and now we're dividing
them into three lots. So I... Well, I don't necessarily believe that, because people try to
build on everything, so I apologize, but I don't buy that. Anyway, I don't like the
precedent of setting, taking one -acre lots or one -acre -plus —I can't remember exactly
what, excuse me —two -acre lots and dividing them into three. And if we start doing that
in this neighborhood, it has a lot of those possibilities. I just think it's a bad precedent. I
do not support this.
Applicant:
Well, it's all floodplain to our west, so I suspect that there's not going to be a proposal
for that coming in.
Kathy Talley:
I don't have a problem with it. I think it's great. I think you've matched it up with the
neighborhood that it's going to be a part of. It sounds like you're going to join the HOA.
You know, these lots, as time goes on, get tougher and tougher and tougher and more,
you know, more challenging for sure. So I don't have a problem with this.
Randy Robbins:
The only thing I would say is I would rather see the lot that's on Johnson Street
potentially a little bit larger, even if it means you shrink the other two to match what
you've got inside Johnson Place. If that makes sense, so that then you have a more
estate feel along Johnson. And Johnson, and the two lots that are connected to
Johnson Place, give you the opportunity to match what they've got there and potentially
build a little more comparable home. That's just what I would think.
Applicant:
Yeah, I understand what you're asking.
Gina Phalen:
No, I mean, I agree with everybody else. I think I could get on board with this one for
sure. I think it lines up with the remainder development that's already in place.
