2.0 EXISTING PLANS & STUDIES
Four existing plans and one study impact the South Side Plan Area
• 1998 Land Use Plan
• 1997 Master Thoroughfare Plan
• 2001 Parks, Open Space, & Recreation Master Plan
• 2001 Pathways Plan
• 1995 Corridor Study
March 9, 2005
These include:
The following sections summarize how these plans and the corridor study relate to the South
Side Plan Area.
2.1 1998 Land Use Plan
The majority of the South Side Plan Area is designated as Medium Density Residential in the
1998 Land Use Plan, as shown below.

residential uses must be compatible with and not intrusive to the adjacent residential
uses. Other suitable activities are those permitted in the Public Parks /Open Space and
Public/Semi-Public categories previously discussed. "
The land use designations along F.M. 1709 generally reflect the recommendations from the
1995 Corridor Study, which recommended that the F.M. 1709 corridor primarily consist of
residential subdivisions with some local service retail, offices, and institutional uses at major
intersections. The 1995 Corridor Study recommendations are discussed in further detail in
Section 2.5.
Other significant land use designations in the South Side Plan Area include Low Density
Residential, Town Center, and Industrial (on the southeast portion of the plan area). In addition,
several properties in the area are located in or border on the 100 year flood plain.
Another significant consideration for development in the plan area is the presence of the
airport noise overlay zone. Specifically, residential development is generally discouraged in the
65 LDN and prohibited in the 75 LDN.
2.2 1997 Master Thoroughfare Plan
According to the 1997 Master Thoroughfare Plan (MTP), the South Side Plan Area includes
the arterials F.M. 1709, Brumlow Ave., Carroll Ave., Byron Nelson Parkway, Kimball Ave.,
Continental Blvd., and White Chapel Blvd.

Collectors in the area include Nolen Drive, Shady Oaks Drive, and Southridge Parkway.
South Peytonville Ave. is classified as a collector in the southern portion of the area and as an
arterial to the north. The following table summarizes the characteristics of each of these
roadways as outlined in the MTP.
Arterials in the South Side Plan Area
F.M. 1709 (Southlake Blvd.)
As noted in the Analysis and Recommendations for the Davis Boulevard /F.M. 1938 Plan
Area, F.M. 1709 is a principal arterial with the primary function of serving regional and major
traffic generators. The focus on this roadway is access management to limit intersections and
traffic signals. F.M. 1709 is designated with a right -of -way (R -O -W) of 130 feet. It is currently
slated to be a 7 -lane undivided arterial with a continuous center turn lane and right turn lanes at
key intersections.

2.3 Southlake Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Master Plan
March 9, 2005
The 2001 Parks, Recreation, & Open Space Master Plan for the city of Southlake indicates
several significant park areas in the South Side Plan area, however, the majority of the park areas
are privately owned. The largest public park in the area (and second largest in the city) is
Bicentennial Park. The regional park is well-known for its variety of athletic facilities, including
baseball, softball, T -ball, basketball, in -line hockey, volleyball, tennis, and playground
equipment. Bicentennial Park is the only park in the plan area that provides all the above listed
athletic game facilities. The Texas School of Baseball site on Crooked Lane is also slated to
provide for some athletic facilities.

Additional parks in the area include Rustin Park (in Town Square), Koalaty Park (adjacent to
Carroll Elementary School), and Noble Oaks Park (adjacent to Old Union Elementary School).
The 1 acre Rustin Park is considered relatively complete and includes benches, a small pond, two
fountains, and a pavilion /bandshell. In contrast, Koalaty Park is undeveloped with the exception
of four unlighted practice fields. The 2001 Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Master Plan
recommended adding benches and picnic tables, a nature trail, interpretive signage, additional
trees, park entry signage, and irrigation to the 6 acre park. Noble Oaks Park is also undeveloped
and covers 5 acres, including a pond. The Plan recommended a multi - purpose trail, connections
to the City trail system and school grounds, benches and picnic tables, practice areas, park rules
and park entry signage, addition of aquatic plants and animals to the pond, irrigation, and a small
shelter by the pond with security lighting.
Further recreational opportunities may be created in partnership with the Carroll Independent
School District (CISD). The South Side Plan Area includes several developed CISD properties
that could potentially provide joint -use opportunities.
The Community Services Department of the City of Southlake is currently undertaking a
periodic update of the 2001 Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Master Plan. The
recommendations for the South Side Plan Area will be forwarded to the Community Services
Department in an effort to coordinate the two planning processes.

Phase II Analysis & Recommendations
Final Draft March 9, 2005
The 2001 Southlake Pathways Plan is the city's trail system master plan for pedestrian,
bicyclist, and equestrian transportation and recreation. With pedestrian- oriented shopping in and
around Town Center, recreational opportunities in the public parks (see Section 2.3), and the
completion of Dragon Stadium, the South Side Plan Area has many destinations to which
residents and visitors might choose to walk, skate, or ride a bike. This makes the 2001 Pathways
Plan particularly relevant to the South Side Plan Area. The Plan's specific recommendations that
pertain to the area are outlined below.
As discussed in the Analysis and Recommendations for the Davis Boulevard/F.M. 1938
Corridor, the 2001 Pathways Plan identifies on- street bicycle facilities (15' outside lanes) along
F.M. 1709 and F.M. 1938. F.M. 1709 is a major regional connector in the Northeast Tarrant
County area and provides opportunities for non - automobile access to the adjoining cities of
Keller and Grapevine. The Plan also recommends on- street bicycle facilities along Continental
Blvd. With the completion of S.H. 114 and the resulting reduced traffic on Continental Blvd.,
the bike route on Continental Blvd. should provide easy east and west cycling.
The Plan recommends complementing the on- street bicycle facilities with a network of multi-
use trails along arterials as well as sidewalks along collectors and residential streets. Some of the
specific trail and sidewalk recommendations for the South Side Area Plan include:
Creating a connection from Continental and Brumlow to the Cottonbelt Trail. The
Cottonbelt Trail is a major regional bikeway that runs along the Cottonbelt Railroad
tracks. It is a part of the Veloweb, which is a region -wide network of spine trails
recommended by the Regional Transportation Council of the North Central Texas
Council of Governments. The completed 8.2 mile trail will link North Richland Hills,
Hurst, Colleyville, Southlake, and downtown Grapevine.
Providing multi -use connectivity between neighborhoods around Bicentennial Park and
the south side of F.M. 1709 to the Bicentennial Park trails. The Plan also suggested a
pedestrian bridge over F.M. 1709.
Building an inter -city connection to Colleyville's planned 10' Pleasant Run Trail by
providing a sidewalk along South White Chapel Blvd. from F.M. 1709.
Establishing a connection between retail along South Kimball Avenue, S.H. 114, and
Nolen Drive to Dragon Stadium.

In addition, other opportunities to refine the pathways network through new development and
street improvements should be maximized.
2.5 1995 Southlake Corridor Study
The 1995 Southlake Corridor Study identified F.M. 1709 ( Southlake Boulevard) as one of
three important transportation corridors in the city for influencing the development patterns and
character of Southlake. Specific recommendations for F.M. 1709 were divided into land use and
urban design recommendations as detailed below.

Design Recommendations for F.M. 1709:
The 1995 Corridor Study provided design recommendations for F.M. 1709 related to the
entry -way into the city, major intersections along the roadway, and private development along
the roadway.
F.M. 1709 Portal Recommendations
The 1995 Corridor Study recognized F.M. 1709 as a critical entry -way into the city
that needed enhancements as a portal into the city. The enhancement recommendations
primarily apply to the western border of the city, and are therefore fully discussed in the
Analysis & Recommendations chapter for Plan Area B.

Private Development Recommendations
March 9, 2005
Additional design recommendations for F.M. 1709 included:
• Elimination of concrete erosion control along the corridor and utilization of retaining
walls of natural materials and plantings.
• Increasing bufferyard standards with respect to width and required plantings to
differentiate the corridor.
• Canopy trees planted along the corridor in groupings to buffer surface parking and
frame private development.
• Plant material should be limited to selected hardy plants and trees should be a
minimum of 2" — 4" caliper to achieve a "natural tree grove" corridor edge.
