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.

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.
