Q MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL Medium Density Residential is defined as follows: Plan Areas C, D, G, &N "The Medium Density Residential category is suitable for any single-family detached residential development. Limited low intensity office and/or retail uses may be permitted provided that the nature of the commerce is to support the surrounding neighborhood and that the area is sufficiently buffered from adjacent residential property. Such non - Southlake 2025 Plan 6 South Side Area Plan Phase II Analysis & Recommendations Final Draft March 9, 2005 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. Southlake 2025 Plan 7 South Side Area Plan Phase II Analysis & Recommendations Legend Plan Areas Hwy i 14 [a00= S00"R9w1 " MD - 107 P.R 1 dr C1V • 70 �pNNa ip� D 4Nr x Y7 D, G , & H S 0 U T H L A K E Randal LFM 1979 {t R{ 5VJ A.0 8E' AR 1 r r c7U W Cptl aetp /�/ RM i7091RM 1938 (130' ROW) MtJ • 80 A JI � C2V • W �ptl OCi4r ,,, ■e.r..i.

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.

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.

Southlake 2025 Plan Phase II 13 South Side Area Plan Analysis & Recommendations Liberty Garden within Bicentennial Park Noble Oaks Park Final Draft March 9, 2005 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. 2.4 2001 Southlake Pathways Plan Southlake 2025 Plan 14 South Side Area Plan Phase II Analysis & Recommendations Pl Areas 2001 Pathways Pfan Des lgnxions 1'"Ord SOUTH LAKE 11.S114tBk. yq - PI }nn @d ,'" Ph d rod Mut Vsa dsS'• pared M 0 T ilg E' C3 G.

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. Southlake 2025 Plan 15 South Side Area Plan Phase II Analysis & Recommendations Sidewalk along Continental Blvd. Sidewalk construction along Kimball Ave. Final Draft March 9, 2005 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. Land Use Recommendations for the South Side Plan Area: tl✓��L1L.lE���JIIII.lL� � � Lrsend Retail Commercial Office carnmercial Industrial Residential Eusii�ess�'Service Existing Retail Zoving EM Village Center Location for the majority of the local services in the community. Primarily a corridor of residential subdivisions, with some local service retail, offices and institutional uses at major intersections. Appropriate zoning districts include: • Any single family district for residential areas, • CS, 0-1, 0-2, B -1, HC, MF -1, and MF -2 for office commercial areas, and • CS, O -1, C -1, C -2, C -3, and B -1 for retail commercial areas.

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.
