SOUTHLAKE
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: Consolidated Future Land Use Plan
The future land use designations for the site are Mixed Use and 100-Year
Floodplain.
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.
Floodplain Purpose and Definition : The Floodplain category illustrates
Case No. Attachment A
ZA26-0014 Page 2
areas designated by the August 1995 Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA) maps as being in the 100 ‐year floodplain. The “floodplain”
is an expanse of natural vegetation and wildlife and should be preserved
as natural open area. Within the floodplain is “floodway” that must be kept
free of encroachment in order that the 100 ‐year flood may be carried
without harmful increases in the height of flood waters. Although it is not to
be encouraged, the portion of the floo dplain not in the floodway may be
reclaimed for development under certain circumstances if in accordance
with FEMA regulations. The designated land use for areas of reclaimed
floodplain is that of the immediately adjacent land use category. This
designation may also include environmentally sensitive areas, habitats, or
wetlands that may not be in FEMA identified floodplains.
Mobility & Master Thoroughfare Plan
The site plan shows two driveways onto Davis Boulevard. The Master
Thoroughfare Plan designates Davis Boulevard as an “A6D” 130’ to 140’
divided arterial road.
A 5-foot sidewalk currently exists along the east side of Davis Boulevard
and Randoll Mill Avenue. This section of Davis Boulevard is designated to
have a sidewalk of a minimum 5-foot width. The Master Pathways Plan
also calls for an 8-foot multi-use trail on the western side of the property.
TRANSPORTATION
ASSESSMENT: Area Road and Network Conditions
The site proposes two primary access points along Davis Boulevard,
each aligned with planned median openings on Davis Boulevard..
Case No. Attachment A
ZA26-0014 Page 3
Traffic Impact:
The project does not exceed the traffic threshold criteria of the Driveway
Ordinance No. 634 that would require a full Traffic Impact Analysis.
TREE PRESERVATION: There is 52.95% of existing tree cover. A total of 50.51% of existing tree
cover is proposed to be preserved and 49.49 proposed to be removed.
UTILITIES: The site is served by a 6-inch water line main and by a 15-inch sewer main
along Davis Boulevard.
DRAINAGE: The project is proposing a storm drain system that outlets into the existing
creek behind the development.
CITIZEN INPUT: This item was heard at the January 28, 2026 Corridor Planning Committee.
This item was heard at the March 24, 2026 SPIN Meeting.

TREE CONSERVATION COMMENTS:
1. The proposed sanitary sewer in the open space in the southwest corner of the development
cuts directly through the critical root zone area of at least two (2) proposed protected trees.
2. The proposed masonry wall along the east side of the property will most likely conflict with
some of the existing trees proposed to be protected.
3. If the development were proposed as standard zoning disrict the proposed existing tree cover
preservation would comply with the Existing Tree Cover Preservation Requirements of the
Case No. Attachment C
ZA26-0014 Page 2
Tree Preservation Ordinance 585-E, but only by .23%. There is 54.40% of existing tree cover
and a minimum of 50% would be required to be preserved. A total of 50.23% is proposed to be
preserved and 49.77% is proposed to be removed.
* 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;
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:
* Existing tree credits are proposed to be taken for fifteen (15) required twenty -three (23) landscape
canopy trees within the east bufferyard. Existing tree credits shall only be granted if the tree/s are
in healthy condition and all requirements of the Tree Preservation Ordinance have been met as
determined at the time of inspection for release for home construction.

manual.
* Ensure that the proposed headwall doesn’t conflict with the existing sewer line.
* Please be aware that a drainage easement for the existing creek at the rear of the lot will
be required. The easement shall be sized to contain the 100 -yr storm plus 1' of freeboard.
* Lots along the westernmost side of the development will require minimum finish floor
elevations.
* If detention is not being proposed for the increase in runoff, then documentation
supporting and certifying that detention is not necessary will be required prior to approval
of construction plans. Discharge of post development runoff must have no adverse impact
on downstream properties and meet the provisions of Ordinance No. 605.
UTILITY
* The proposed sanitary sewer line within the open space lot will be required to be located
within a minimum 15’ easement.
* TxDOT approval will be required for sidewalk, street connection and water line
connections. The waterline connections will be required to be bored, unless TxDOT
approves an open cut.
* The minimum radius for an 8” waterline is 200’.
