Abstract No. 299 and Lots 3 & 7 A.H. Chivers No. 299 Addition , Located at
1080, 1086, 1090 and 1100 Primrose Lane and 1900 N. Carroll Avenue
REQUEST:
City of Southlake is requesting an amendment to the City’s Master Plan, proposing a
change in the land use designation for the area containing Tracts 2, 2B, 2B01 and
2C04A in the A.H. Chivers Survey, Abstract No. 299 and Lots 3 and 7, A.H. Chivers
No. 299 Addition in the City of Southlake, Tarrant County, Texas and being located at
1080, 1086, 1090 and 1100 Primrose Lane. and 1900 N. Carroll Avenue, Southlake,
Texas. The property has a current land use designation of Low Density Residential.
“detached single-
The Low Density Residential land use category is defined to be for
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
public rights-of-way. Other suitable activities are those permitted in the Public Parks /
Open Space and Public / Semi-Public categories described previously. The Low
Density Residential category encourages the openness and rural character of the City
of Southlake.”
An application for a land use plan amendment to change the land use
(Case CP09-001)
designation to Medium Density Residential along with a proposal for
(Case ZA09-021)
a zoning change and concept plan for the development of two (2)
single-family residential lots of approximately 20,000 square feet each is being
processed for the property to the west located at 1030 Primrose Lane. The properties
at 1080, 1086, 1090 and 1100 Primrose and 1900 N Carroll Avenue are all existing lots
or tracts under one acre in size ranging from 0.27 to 0.97 acre in area. Given the
prevailing development pattern, these properties along the north side of Primrose Lane
more closely match the definition for Medium Density Residential rather than Low
Density Residential. For this reason, staff recommends that the land use plan be
amended for these properties to reflect the Medium Density Residential land use
designation.
ACTION NEEDED: 1. Conduct public hearing
2. Consider Comprehensive Plan Land Use Amendment approval request

are all existing lots or tracts under one acre in size ranging from 0.27 to 0.97
