SOUTHLAKE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: Consolidated Future Land Use Plan The underlying land use designation is Office Commercial. Purpose and Definition: 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. Pathways Master Plan: Pathways along Kirkwood Blvd. are shown on the Pathways Master Plan. However, the zoning for the site, as adopted in 1999 (ZA99-056), is interpreted to relieve development within the NR-PUD boundaries of constructing sidewalks. At the time of the Sabre Corporate Campus development, the portion of Kirkwood Blvd., which this project fronts, was to be a private road. Ordinance No. 480-313 waives formal Pedestrian Access Plans, and the only trails and pathways required are those shown on the Concept Plan. No pathways are shown on the Concept Plan along Kirkwood Blvd. Subsequent site plans approved for the Sabre Group Campus Addition Case No. Attachment A ZA26-0029 Page 3 do not show sidewalks provided along Kirkwood Blvd., except for the TD Ameritrade Campus, which provided sidewalks as part of their development. UTILITIES: There is an 8-foot water main that runs through the east side of proposed area. The area is served by an 8-inch sewer main line. DRAINGE: Drainage is proposed to generally flow northeast. TREE PRESERVATION: The applicant has indicated that no trees will be removed as part of this site plan. Dwarf Yaupon Holly should be placed within the south bufferyard in beds surrounded by landscape edging.
