It is located west of Randol Mill & Davis Blvd. Existing uses in the west sector are primarily residential uses, comprising 76% of the land area. Parks and open space comprise 6% and civic /religious uses account for 7% of the area. Commercial property only accounts for 3% of the area and is located primarily along F.M. 1709 and South Pearson Lane. Only 8% of the area is classified as vacant or underdeveloped, which indicates that there is little room for new development. Strategic Management System Vision Goals Objectives Plan Strategic Link Elements The Strategic Management System guides the development of the Southlake 2030 Plan Vision, Goals and Objectives (VGO), which define a desired direction for growth for the City. As such, all recommendations in the Southlake 2030 Plan are tied to at least one Strategic Focus Area from the Strategic Management System and at least one Objective from the Adopted Vision, Goals and Objectives as well as a guiding Principle from the North Texas 2050 Plan, Wr 1 1 1 1 17 The City of Southlake provides municipal services that support the highest quali for our residents and businesses.

M. 1938 Streetscape Master Plan 0 Nonconforming Uses • Pearson Lane and Union Church rz-_ - ®SOUTHLAKE o- There are a handful of nonconforming land uses in the west sector. Nonconforming land uses are uses that do not conform to the use regulations of the zoning district in which they are located. These land uses cannot be enlarged or increased without an appropriate change of zoning. Special consideration must be given to these land uses when evaluating future uses on adjacent properties and when those adjacent properties develop to ensure compatibility. In addition, the long term future of nonconforming uses is often uncertain and redevelopment on these properties should also be considered. One such nonconforming land use is The Flower Ranch, located on approximately 3 acres on the south end of South Pearson Road. This commercial nursery has "AG" Agricultural District zoning. The property is adjacent to Chesapeake Park and has a Medium Density Residential land use designation. Another nonconforming use is a commercial nursery, called M J Farm & Nursery, located at 2499 Union Church Road. This site is also zoned "AG" Agricultural District. The property is adjacent to Watermere Retirement Community and residential uses. The final nonconforming use is a plumbing business located at 607 South Pearson Lane. This site is adjacent to St. Martin -in- the - Fields Church to the north, Snow's Gymnastics Center to the south, and Chesapeake Park to the west. 9 Water Tanks Southlake 2025 Underlying Future Land Use Map Issues • Approx. 7 acres • City -owned property • 6 platted lots • Zoned SF -1A • 2025: Low Density Residential • Adjacent to ground water storage tanks • Water tanks and pumps to south may create noise issues • Adjacent to planned retail /office uses to south • Low Density Residential to the north The City of Southlake has two water tanks along F.M. 1709 near Pearson Road. The land to the north of the tanks is city- owned, although it is platted as 6 lots and zoned as "SF -1 A" Single Family Residential. These lots are currently undeveloped. The properties immediately to the north of the tanks may be undesirable for residential uses because the noise from the water tanks' pumps can be a nuisance. In addition, the city requires some of the land on those properties for equipment when performing maintenance on the tanks. 10 SOUTHLAKE 9 W Q - ®51 V)2030 City of Keller Master Plans Integrity Innovation Accountability Commitment to Excellence Teamwork 11 Source: City of Keller Future Land Use Map — January 2007 An additional consideration in the west sector is future development adjacent to Southlake's city boundaries in the City of Keller. According to the City of Keller's Land Use Plan, single family residential uses (25,000 sq. ft. and greater lots) are expected to remain along Florence Road and along most of North Pearson Road. Higher intensity single family residential uses (12,000 — 14,999 sq. ft. lots) are expected to remain along Union Church. The Land Use Plan also calls for retail uses around the intersection of F.M. 1709 and Pearson Road and office uses along most of South Pearson Road. 12 .�.�r S � ! ��} � J; ? a Q a 'O ( w �./ z M nor No ��.. 1 t „��111d1dd111rJVY�1� lawrrr'a ■ Y (exi '� ■ Ridgo ParkORTHEAS7 GREENWALKlPARKW ■ NORTHEAST GREENWALKIPARKWAY 6.

Reason: The general alignment of the proposed trail connection between Florence Road and Johnson Place Estates is uncertain. The alignment shown on the Sidewalk Plan Map may be too specific. 21 Mobility Recommendations M2 Intersection improvements at F.M. 1709 and Pearson h � Recommendation Work with the City of Keller and TXDOT to determine appropriate intersection improvements and secure funding. Reason As Keller and Southlake continue to grow, the need for safety and mobility improvements to the intersection of F.M. 1709 and Pearson Lane increases. 22 Mobility Recommendations M3 Entry feature at 1709 /Pearson 0 a u1111HI vu: r R _ v SOUTHLAKE l, N ��JIIIHI_ \ICI. F I /� Recommendation As recommended in the Urban Design Plan, provide an entry feature at F.M. 1709 and Pearson.

Reason: With new sidewalk construction along F.M.1709, there is an opportunity to improve the aesthetics of the corridor. 24 Mobility Recommendations M5 Correct the layout of Watermere Drive and the adjacent trail on the Mobility Maps UNION CHURCH RD 1 UNION CHURCH RD 1 Recommendation: Correct the alignment of the C2U collector and adjacent sidewalk shown on the Mobility Maps. Reason: The sidewalk and roadway through Watermere on the Mobility Maps (Sidewalk /Pathways Maps and Master Thoroughfare Map) do not accurately reflect the layout of Watermere Drive and the sidewalk along Watermere Drive. 25 Mobility Recommendations M6 Add a sidewalk along Florence to the Sidewalk Plan Map FLORENCE RD i 1 � a ` L w JOHNSON RD a w a z Recommendation: Add a sidewalk along Florence to the Sidewalk /Pathways Maps. Recommend construction of the sidewalk in conjunction with new development in the area. Reason: The City of Keller's Parks and Trails Master Plan shows a trail (the Florence Greenwalk) adjacent to Florence Road in the City of Keller. Southlake's Sidewalk /Pathways Maps currently do not show a continuation of this trail within Southlake. 26 Mobility Recommendations M7 Provide a sidewalk connection along the south side of Johnson Road between Florence Elementary School and Pearson o - JOHNSON RD w a z �0 P� 5 Recommendation: Add a sidewalk along the south side of Johnson Road between the elementary school and Pearson Road to the Sidewalk /Pathways Maps. Recommend construction of the sidewalk in conjunction with new development in the area. Reason: Southlake's Sidewalk /Pathways Maps currently do not show a future sidewalk connection along the south side of Johnson Road between Pearson Road and Florence Elementary School. 27 Mobility Recommendations M11 Revise the Sidewalk Plan and Pathways Plan maps to distinguish between public and private sidewalks /trails* *New citywide recommendation that will be carried over to all area plans.
