CASE NO: CP26-0006
PROJECT: Amendment to the City of Southlake Consolidated Future Land Use Plan,
an element of the Southlake Comprehensive Plan
EXECUTIVE
SUMMARY: Curtis Young is requesting approval of an amendment to the City of Southlake
Consolidated Future Land Use Plan, an element of the Southlake Comprehensive
Plan for 3095 Johnson Road, on property described as a portion of Lot 16, J.G.
Allen No. 18 Addition. Current Underlying Land Use Designation: “Public/Semi-
Public”. Proposed Underlying Land Use Designation: “Low Density Residential”.
SPIN Neighborhood #11.
DETAILS: The purpose of this request is to obtain Land Use Plan amendment approval
appropriate for developing 4 residential lots on approximately 4.518 acres. As the
underlying future land use designation is Public/Semi-Public, a Comprehensive
Plan Amendment is needed to change the designation.
A Zoning Change and Concept Plan application (ZA26-0035) has been submitted
for the property and will be considered concurrently. The zoning change would
allow for 4 new single-family residential lots all of which would be a minimum of 1-
acre in size.
PROPOSED
CHANGE: The proposed change is to amend the underlying land use designation of
Public/Semi-Public to Low Density Residential, to allow for single family residential
lots. The Low Density Residential land use purpose and definition are as follows:
Low Density Residential 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.
Definition (this definition was updated by passage of Ordinance No. 1186 on
February 20, 2018): 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.
