SUBJECT:
Status Report of the Southlake 2025 Plan Recommendations
The City Council adopted all the elements of the Southlake 2025 Plan, the city’s Comprehensive
Master Plan in 2005. This plan has become the foundation for guiding change in the city. Since
its adoption several of the recommendations of this plan have been implemented in a variety of
ways including ordinance amendments, further studies, establishment of other policies and
programs, and funding improvements.
In an effort to evaluate the extent to which the recommendations of the Southlake 2025 Plan
have been implemented, staff has developed a status report. Attached with this memorandum is
a summary table of the status of all recommendations of the Southlake 2025 Plan arranged by
category of recommendation (land use, urban design, pedestrian connectivity, parks, economic
development, and transportation). Staff will review this status report with City Council at their
next meeting on March 20, 2007. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.
