EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Southlake 2025 Plan is the city's comprehensive plan update and a blueprint for its
future. It is a statement of community values and establishes a vision for the long -term growth
and development of the city. On March 2, 2004, City Council adopted Phase I — Vision, Goals,
and Objective of the Southlake 2025 Plan. This document forms the basis for Phase II —
developing the specific recommendations on the land use, thoroughfare (mobility),
environmental protection, and other elements.
In order to facilitate a detailed but efficient planning process for Phase II, the Planning and
Zoning Commission has divided the city into nine (9) distinct planning areas. The South Side
Plan Area is the third of the nine planning areas in this phase of the Southlake 2025 Plan. The
purpose of this report is to:
1. Establish a detailed background for the planning area and planning process;
2. Identify current development constraints and issues;
3. Identify critical environmental and natural resources to be preserved;
4. Explore development opportunities within the study area; and
5. Make recommendations for the future development of the area.
The South Side Plan Area combines 4 distinct planning areas (C, D, G, & H) given their
common land use and development characteristics. The area plans developed as a part of the
Southlake 2025 Plan process will be used as the basis for updating the city's land use and master
thoroughfare plans and creating new plans for environmental protection and mobility. Also,
these area plans will be utilized in setting priorities in the Capital Improvement Program (CIP)
planning process, updating current development ordinances, and could serve as a catalyst for
creating new planning related programs.
