Site Plan (ZA25-0074) and Specific Use Permit (ZA26-0011) to allow a snow cone
stand as a temporary, low-intensity use within the residential district.

approval of a specific use permit.
PROPOSED
CHANGE: The proposed change is to retain the underlying land use designation of “Low
Density Residential” and add a site specific recommendation to allow limited, low-
intensity retail services. If approved, this text will be added as site specific
recommendation “C-LU3” to the Future Land Use Plan.

SOUTHLAKE
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: Consolidated Future Land Use Plan
The future land use designation for the site is “Low Density Residential”.
Definition and Purpose:
The purpose of the Low Density Residential land use category is to provide
for and to protect low intensity detached single-family residential
development that promotes the openness and rural character of Southlake.
The Low Density Residential category is for detached single-family
residential development at a net density of one or fewer dwelling units per
acre. Net density is the number of dwelling units per net acre, which
excludes acreage in all rights-of-way, easement, and lots designated for
public or private streets. Other suitable activities are those permitted in the
Public Parks/Open Space and Public/Semi-Public categories. The Low
Density Residential category encourages the openness and rural character
of the City of Southlake.
