CITY OF SOUTH LAKE MEMORANDUM October 27, 2010 To: City Council From: Ken Baker, AICP — Director of Planning & Development Services Subject: Ordinance 980: Southlake 2030 Southeast Sector Land Use Plan Action Requested: Conduct a public hearing and consider the 2nd reading for Ordinance 980: Southlake 2030 Southeast Sector Land Use Plan. Background Information: The City of Southlake approaches land use planning through sector planning, a method which divides the City into sectors to identify development issues and to develop recommendations for each individual area. This approach recognizes that planning issues are numerous and complex, and may vary from area to area or even site to site. In short, the purpose of a sector plan is to: • Establish a detailed background for the planning area, • Identify current development constraints and issues, • Identify features, resources and areas to be protected or improved, • Explore development opportunities and • List recommendations for the future development and conservation of the area. The fourth sector plan for formal consideration during the Southlake 2030 Plan process is the Southeast Sector Plan. Following the Planning & Zoning Commission meeting, a site specific recommendation has been added to two areas (one along South Kimball Avenue and one along Crooked Lane) that have a Low Density Residential land use designation and are within the 75 LDN airport overlay zone: "For properties with a Low Density Residential land use designation within the 75 LDN certain Non - Residential and /or Transition Uses may be appropriate in size and scale including Office Commercial type uses." This recommendation has been incorporated into the Southeast Sector Plan as LU6 and LU7 in the Southeast Sector Land Use Recommendations Table (page 16) and the Southeast Sector Underlying Land Use Recommendations Map (page 12). The purpose of this addition is to address the inconsistency between the underlying land use designation and the 75 LDN airport overlay zone, which prohibits new single family residential. In the Southlake 2025 Plan, these properties have a T -1 optional land use designation. However, the Southlake 2030 Plan recommends the removal of all T -1 and T -2 optional land use designations throughout the city. In addition, at the first reading, City Council directed staff to hold a separate Land Use Committee meeting to consider and discuss properties in the vicinity of South Kimball Avenue and Crooked Lane that are subject to the 75 LDN and has a Low Density land use designation. This has been added to the aforementioned LU6 and LU7 recommendations in the Southeast Sector Plan: "Hold a planning charrette to discuss and consider options for future development on these properties. The boundary of the area to be considered during the charrette may include additional properties adjacent to LU6 and LU7. " Financial Considerations: None. Strategic Link: The Southeast Sector Land Use Plan relates to all focus areas of the strategy map. Citizen Input/ Board Review: All meetings of the Southlake 2030 Land Use Plan Committee are open to the public. The committee met on April 15, 2010, May 27, 2010, July 15, 2010 and July 29, 2010 to discuss the Southeast Sector. In addition, a SPIN citywide meeting was held on July 26, 2010 (see the SPIN report in Attachment A). A public hearing was also held at the Planning & Zoning Commission meeting on October 7. Planning & Zoning Commission: October 7, 2010; Approved (7 -0) with the exception that a site specific recommendation be placed on the actual map that is similar in language to the slide for recommendation Number 6 that was presented by staff this evening. Staff Note: The referenced slide is provided below. This recommendation has been incorporated into the Southeast Sector Plan as LU6 and LU7 in the Southeast Sector Land Use Recommendations Table (page 16) and the Southeast Sector Underlying Land Use Recommendations Map (page 12). Recommendation #6 Site Specific Recommendation: For properties with Low Density land use designation within the 75LDN certain Non - Residential and /or Transition Uses may be appropriate in size and scale including Office Commercial type uses. Ig SOUTHLAKE City Council: October 19, 2010; Approved (7 -0) on consent, directing staff to pull out the properties around South Kimball Avenue and Crooked Lane and address those areas as discussed. Legal Review: None. Alternatives: Recommend modifications to the proposed Southeast Sector Plan or move forward with the Southeast Sector Plan as presented.

Sector Description Existing uses in the southeast sector are primarily residential uses, comprising 63% of the land area. Parks and open space encompass 10% of the area and civic /religious uses account for 4% of the area. There are only a handful of commercial properties in the southeast sector, comprising approximately 2% of the area. These commercial properties are scattered on the eastern side of the sector. The southeast sector is unique in that it has the largest concentration of industrial uses in the city. However, these uses only comprise 7% of the land area and they are located in the eastern side of the sector. Approximately 12% of the area is classified as vacant or underdeveloped, leaving little room for new development. QUESTIONS /CONCERNS • Now residential is all built up on that west side of Brumlow right? The majority is but there are some underdeveloped lots. How did those uses (Alpine Materials and Storage Business) go into a medium density residential? Those businesses were established prior to the current Zoning Ordinance No. 480 and have continuously been in operation in some form since then. • Is there any chance of placing an overlay on Continental from Carroll to Kimball, it's not a very attractive part of the city and I think some changes to make it look nicer would help. • Does the tank farm own any other properties? Can they expand? Hypothetically yes, but the demand would have to be there and they would need to go through the approval process. • At the south side of Continental near Davis, the sidewalk stops after you pass the grade school, there needs to be continuation of that sidewalk for the children. • 1 have heard some concern expressed at Monticello Estates, there appears to be a hill that is dangerous near where the children cross. • 1 have trouble finding that 10% of parks on the map for this sector. Parks can be both public and private depending on the development. The Parks Master Plan will be worked on shortly after the Land Use Plan where those concerns are addressed and placed in the plan. • 1 would like to see a large passive park, gazebo, pond and a few benches or tables in this area. • Half the population lives in the southeast sector and they would have to go north out of the sector to go to a park. • Another good place for a park is south of the Southlake sports complex, which would give you a nice long corridor of park area.

SOU Abst The Southeast Sector Plan is the third of seven sector plans developed during the Southlake 2030 process. The sector is comprised primarily of medium density and low density residential land uses. This sector is unique in that it also contains the largest concentration of low intensity industrial land uses in the city, which are located in the eastern section of the plan area. As such, the primary objectives for planning in the southeast sector are preserving the residential character of the area and ensuring that industrial uses are integrated appropriately with surrounding land uses. The Southeast Sector Plan further addresses the unique characteristics and challenges of the southeast side and provides specific planning recommendations in regard to land use, mobility, environmental resources, as well as parks, recreation and open space. Sector Planning and Land Use Planning Introduction The City of Southlake's Land Use Plan serves as the community's vision for future development by allocating the appropriate location, concentration and intensity of future development by land use categories. The plan serves as a guide to all decision making as it pertains to the City's future development. The City of Southlake approaches land use planning through sector planning, a method which divides the City into sectors to identify development issues and to develop recommendations for each individual area. This approach recognizes that planning issues are numerous and complex, and may vary from area to area or even site to site. In short, the purpose of a sector plan is to: • Establish a detailed background for the planning area, • Identify current development constraints and issues, • Identify features, resources and areas to be protected or improved, • Explore development opportunities and • List recommendations for the future development and conservation of the area. Sector planning was first implemented in Southlake during the development of the Southlake 2025 Plan in 2004. The City was originally divided into nine planning areas, although some areas were combined during the actual planning process. For the purposes of the 2030 Plan, the City has been divided into eight sectors: Southeast Sector Plan DRAFT Pagei MAP 1: SOUTHLAKE 2030 PLANNING SECTORS W Bob JONES RD V 5 774 DOVE RD E DOVE RD ro L E HIGHLAND ST [ 4 m /LOREHCE RD f W — I Z l � F Y 3 J04NSDN RD SDW'i BLVD x 4 tl m p K � [ m m s .'7 y UNION CHURCH RD o W CONR NEHTAL BLVD E CONiIN ENiF.L BLVD. 0 2500 5.000 10.000 ' N Feet m SOUTHLAKE 9 Sector Plan Areas 114 CORRIDOR l� 1708 CORRIDOR 193a CORRIDOR CENTRAL EAST NORTH SOUTH C WEST W Y Q During discussion of the south sector and east sector issues, the Land Use Committee decided to combine the two sectors into one plan area called the southeast sector. The resulting plan document is the Southeast Sector Plan. Although recommendations may vary from area to area, all sector plans are intended to work together to support a desired direction for growth as outlined in the adopted Vision, Goals and Objectives of the Southlake 2030 Plan (Ordinance No. 960). As such, the land use recommendations from the sector plans are consolidated to create one cohesive document for the City as a whole and the result is the City's Land Use Plan. Recommendations developed in the sector plans will also be incorporated into other plan elements, such as the Master Thoroughfare Plan and Parks, Recreation and Open Space Master Plan, as appropriate. In addition, the sector plans will be utilized in setting priorities in the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) planning process, updating current development ordinances and creating new planning related ordinances or programs as needed. Southeast Sector Plan DRAFT Pageii Relationship to Southlake's Strategic Management System Strategic planning is an ongoing process where resources, critical concerns, community priorities and citizen needs are combined to produce both a plan for the future and a measure for results. More specifically, Southlake's Strategic Management System links the city's day -to -day activities to a comprehensive long term strategy for public policy and management decisions. The Strategic Management System identifies Strategic Focus Areas and Objectives to guide effective and efficient resource allocation and provides benchmarks to assess performance. The Strategic Focus Areas and Objectives are driven by the City's Citizen Survey and are outlined in the City's Strategy Map (please see Appendix B). The Strategic Management System guided 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. Relationship to Vision North Texas Vision North Texas is a public, private, non - profit and academic partnership headed by the North Central Texas Council of Governments, the Urban Land Institute, and the University of Texas at Arlington. The partnership was created to serve as a forum for discussion, research, and action on issues related to the growth and development of North Central Texas. In addition, the partnership strives to increase public awareness about important regional land use issues and to build support for initiatives that create a successful and sustainable future for North Texas. Over the last few years, Vision North Texas has invited stakeholders from across the region to participate in a series of workshops to develop a vision for the region's future as well as an action plan Southeast Sector Plan DRAFT Page iii to achieve that vision. The result of these workshops is North Texas 2050, which describes the preferred future envisioned by Vision North Texas participants. The document also provides guiding principles to help decision - makers achieve the regional vision. The City of Southlake recognizes the importance of the regional vision and has worked to align the Southlake 2030 Plan with North Texas 2050. All Southlake 2030 recommendations are linked to at least one of the guiding principles (please see Appendix Q. Additional information on North Texas 2050 and Vision North Texas is available at www.visionnorthtexas.org.

MAP 2: SOUTHLAKE 2030 SOUTHEAST SECTOR BOUNDARIES 1.1 Character of the Sector With the exception of the eastern portion of the plan area, the southeast sector is generally characterized by medium density and low density residential subdivisions.

The largest residential development, Timarron, encompasses over 900 acres (including commercial property, schools and the Southeast Sector Plan DRAFT Pagel golf course) on the south side of the city. Timarron is a master - planned community that includes several neighborhoods with lot sizes ranging from approximately 6,000 square feet to 67,000 square feet. Although Timarron is the largest residential development within Southlake, the community also crosses the city's boundaries into Colleyville. Houses in Timarron In addition, there are a number of large, individual estates in the southeast sector. These estates, found primarily along South White Chapel Boulevard, have a unique rural character not found in many other areas of the city. Residential Estates In contrast to the residential uses, the eastern section of the plan area is characterized by industrial uses. While some of these properties have heavy industrial uses such as petroleum product storage, other properties have much lower intensity uses such as the Champion Crossing flex office complex. Southeast Sector Plan DRAFT Page 2 r Champion Crossing s � Industrial Uses Along East Continental Boulevard 1.2 Preliminary Analysis �l To fully understand the development issues facing the southeast side, an analysis of existing conditions is critical. The following section offers an assessment of the existing land uses, zoning and demographics as well as a description of recent development changes in the southeast sector. 1.2.1 Existing Land Use Distribution Existing uses in the southeast sector are primarily residential uses, comprising 63% of the land area. Parks and open space encompass 10% of the area and civic /religious uses account for 4% of the area. There are only a handful of commercial properties in the southeast sector, comprising approximately 2% of the area. These commercial properties are scattered on the eastern side of the sector. The southeast sector is unique in that it has the largest concentration of industrial uses in the city. However, these uses only comprise 7% of the land area and they are located in the eastern side of the sector. Approximately 12% of the area is classified as vacant or underdeveloped, leaving little room for new development.

The classifications are based on the Land Based Classification Standards (LBCS) model developed by the American Planning Association. This model extends the notion of classifying land uses by refining traditional categories into multiple dimensions, such as activities, functions, building types, site development character, and ownership constraints. Each dimension has its own set of categories and subcategories. These multiple dimensions allow users to have precise control over land -use classifications.

Land Use Compatibility With the combination of residential uses and industrial uses, a difficult challenge for the southeast sector is ensuring compatibility between adjacent land uses. Currently, most of the residential uses on the east side of the sector are separated from industrial uses by Continental Boulevard (with most residential uses north of the roadway and industrial uses to the south) and Brumlow Avenue (with most residential uses west of the roadway and industrial uses to the east). However, if properties on the southern side of Continental Boulevard (east of Brumlow Avenue) and the eastern side of Brumlow Avenue redevelop, there is a possibility for further buffering. Colleyville, Grapevine, and Keller Master Plans An additional consideration in the southeast sector is future development adjacent to Southlake's city boundaries in the Cities of Colleyville, Keller, and Grapevine. Land Use According to the City of Colleyville's 2025 Land Use Plan, residential uses and parks or private open space are expected to remain adjacent to Southlake's southern boundary. Likewise, the City of Keller's Land Use Plan shows single family residential uses (25,000 sq. ft. and greater lots) south of the southeast plan area. A small portion of the far western boundary of the sector (closest to Davis Boulevard) also borders property that has a retail future land use designation. In contrast, adjacent future land uses in Grapevine include commercial uses and government uses along S.H. 26. Along the southeast sector's eastern boundary, Grapevine's Future Land Use Map shows industrial uses. Sidewalks and Trails Keller's Parks and Trails Master Plan does not show any trails immediately adjacent to the southeast sector. Although there are adjacent trails in Colleyville in the Timarron development, any pedestrian connections between Southlake Timarron and Colleyville Timarron are for the private use of Timarron residents. For future construction, the City of Colleyville proposes a trail along Pleasant Run, which would connect to a proposed sidewalk along South White Chapel Boulevard in Southlake. In Grapevine, the Cottonbelt Trail runs adjacent to S.H. 26. Mobility and Connectivity A third consideration in the Southeast Sector is mobility and connectivity in the eastern portion of the sector. There are three specific areas where mobility is a concern: • Bank Street Currently, Bank Street ends in a cul -de -sac. When the DFW Connector is completed, there will not be a median opening on East Southlake Boulevard at Bank Street. West -bound motorists on Southeast Sector Plan DRAFT Page 8 Southlake Boulevard will not be able to access Bank Street and north -bound motorists on Bank Street will not be able to turn left on Southlake Boulevard. • Nolen Drive The south end of Nolen Drive in Southlake does not connect to the north end of Nolen Drive in Grapevine. In Southlake, the road is a dead -end. In Grapevine, the road ends in a cul -de -sac. • Cottonbelt Trail Southlake does not have pedestrian access to the Cottonbelt Trail, a regional trail adjacent to S.H. 26 that follows the Cotton Belt Railway. Although portions of this regional trail are still in the planning phase, once completed, the trail will stretch from Grapevine to the Fort Worth trail system. Southeast Sector Plan DRAFT Page 9 3.0 Land Use Recommendations In the context of comprehensive planning, "land use" typically refers to future land use designations as shown on the Future Land Use Map. The Future Land Use Map illustrates the desired location and distribution of land uses throughout the City, as opposed to the Existing Land Use Map (discussed in Section 1.2.1) which shows how land is currently being utilized. As such, the Future Land Use Map is an important visual tool used by city decision - makers, city staff, developers, and citizens to understand the community's desired development pattern. Using the Southlake 2030 Plan Vision, Goals and Objectives as a guide and taking the challenges and issues identified in the previous chapter into consideration, the Southlake 2025 Plan Future Land Use Map was reviewed for sites that may require land use designation changes. Several sites were identified for a land use designation revision, primarily due to development changes that have occurred or are expected to occur in the near future. In this sector, only changes to the underlying land use designations are recommended. No changes to the optional land use designations are recommended. However, as a part of the Consolidated Land Use Plan, all "T -1" and "T -2" designations on the Optional Land Use Map will be removed. The following map highlights the areas in the southeast sector that are designated as "T -1" or "T -2 ". "T -1" and "T -2" will be discussed further in the Consolidated Land Use Plan.

Southeast Sector Plan DRAFT Page 16 4.0 Mobility Recommendations "Mobility" refers to the City's transportation network and includes automotive, pedestrian, bicycle and other alternative modes of transportation. Over the past several decades, the physical, social and economic success Southlake has experienced can be attributed in part to the City's transportation network. The highways, streets, paths, railway and proximity to the Dallas -Fort Worth International Airport that provide mobility within the City and access to points beyond have caused Southlake to transition from a relatively isolated community at its incorporation to a premier City in the DFW Metroplex and beyond today. However, the same transportation network has also created adverse side effects: traffic congestion due to regional travel patterns, increased pollutant emissions and high stress levels due to commuting. 4.1 Southeast Sector Roadways The southeast sector has one primary east -west roadway, Continental Boulevard, which is classified as a 2 -lane undivided collector according to the 2005 Master Thoroughfare Plan (a component of the Mobility Plan). There are several north -south roadways, including South Peytonville Avenue, South White Chapel Boulevard, Byron Nelson Parkway, South Carroll Avenue, Brumlow Avenue, and South Kimball Avenue. South Peytonville Avenue is classified as a 2 -lane undivided collector and South White Chapel Boulevard is classified as a 2 -lane undivided arterial. All the other north -south roadways previously mentioned are classified as 4 -lane divided arterials. Southeast Sector Plan DRAFT Page 17 The following map illustrates the thoroughfare designations for all the major roadways in the southeast sector. 4.2 Southeast Sector Pathways Mobility Plan Southeast Sector Plan Area LEGEND awrlheaat Seclw Master Thofovghfare Plan � Ff"9' 114 (300' -500' ROW) Rantlol mcfFM 193a i149' RoW Park y) -� FM 17981FM 1933 f 130' ROM ASO. 124' Aftral A50 - 84' Arterral A4D - 190' Aftna I AX - aE' Arterral AW- 98'Arter l ••••.

Currently the City has an approved Sidewalk Pathways Plan which indicates the location of future sidewalk facilities in the City and priorities these facilities for construction. Also, the City of Southlake ensures construction of sidewalks by the following actions: 1) allocates approximately $400,000 annually for the construction of trails and sidewalks in the CIP (Capital Improvements Program); 2) seeks grants for funding; 3) requires new development to construct sidewalks along public streets adjacent to the site; 4) implemented the sidewalk matching program (a 50% cost sharing program for the design and construction of sidewalks within neighborhoods); and 5) implemented the Sidewalk Partnership program (promotes the dedication of easements by citizens and business for the construction of sidewalks). Although the majority of the residential streets in the southeast sector lack sidewalks on either one or both sides of the street, trail networks are available in Stone Lakes, Timber Lake, and Timarron subdivisions. Unfortunately, these trail networks do not connect to each other.

Although the majority of the residential streets in the southeast sector lack sidewalks on either one or both sides of the street, trail networks are available in Stone Lakes, Timber Lake, and Timarron subdivisions. Unfortunately, these trail networks do not connect to each other. The 2007 Sidewalk Plan Southeast Sector Plan DRAFT Page18 specifically recommended a pedestrian connection between Stone Lakes and Timber Lake since these two subdivisions are adjacent to each other. Beyond residential streets, Continental Boulevard is a popular east -west route for pedestrians for both recreation and destination -based travel. There is currently a continuous pathway on the south side of Continental Boulevard between Koalaty Park /Carroll Elementary and East Haven Addition. However, with the absence of a sidewalk on the north side of Continental Boulevard and gaps in the pathway east of East Haven Addition, there are improvements that can be made to improve the safety and usability of this route. For north -south pedestrian mobility, sidewalks are available on the east side of the street along Byron Nelson Parkway and the west side of the street along South Kimball Avenue. There is also a sidewalk along the east side of South Carroll Avenue. Unfortunately, this sidewalk does not continue down Brumlow Avenue. A pathway along Brumlow Avenue would provide access to the Cottonbelt Trail, a regional trail that follows the Cotton Belt Railway. Although portions of this regional trail are still in the planning phase, once completed, the trail will stretch from Grapevine to the Fort Worth trail system. As identified in the 2007 Sidewalk Plan, sidewalk segments to be completed in the southeast area are shown in the following map. i ,A" - -- LLI WE Frt 1' -ITHL -KE ,J J LJ u 7 t u ; J. i f i 4 Ip>e Acp«{ryYw+r rlYn {lye roe xcYY.p=gm9ryWYlspnnlNlsn :a-q aaEeabw..vn y�ale-a vtr eprik <amkrvz �• ..mm<�mw..ncy .o,.d, *I c.vpr* WnlenMM hs Sgsln�2llESfln Vr sa4l'0.w.Pwr- 1.��ef won Southeast Sector Plan DRAFT Pathways Plan Southeast Sector Plan Area LEGEND Southeast Sector *� Future Deceleratlon Lanes FY08 Projects 1W11 +i Remair.ng Sidewalk Plan Segments Recorrrrronded Sidewalk Plan Segments for FY09 Construction `- Future Sidewalk Plan Se57uwats (not built) Future Pattmays Plan Segments (not butt) --- Mutti.Uw - -- Sidewalk ---- Natural - - -- EquestnarMike Existing Paltmaw — Srde Public Parks School Property v�F Scale: 1 45,()Q7 1 inch = 3,750 fea b�cr.>e� o5- o7•polp oau.rm �h d . mm aor 9eparfine�{nFRy.n� a�°�rt' -� iwvNa and perebprnM Snv.ac ��^^- � r>r _ Page 19 4.3 Southeast Sector Mobility Recommendations In coordination with the Vision, Goals & Objectives, adopted by City Council in November 2009, the following table lists the recommendations for the southeast sector plan area regarding mobility.

Southeast Sector Plan DRAFT Page 24 5.0 Environmental Resource Recommendations Environmental sustainability is vital to the current and long term financial health of the City and the physical and emotional health of area residents. As such, the City of Southlake places a high priority on the protection and conservation of the community's natural assets. "Environmental resources" in this section primarily refer to natural amenities, such as trees, water, soil, air, and wildlife. A more detailed discussion on sustainability, including topics such as energy use, waste reduction, and recycling, may be found in the Sustainability Plan. The primary environmental resource issues in the southeast sector are protection of the floodplain and preservation and enhancement of the existing tree canopy. Many of the trees are found adjacent to the floodplain, as shown in the map below. Most of these trees are characteristic of the Cross Timbers ecosystem, including Post Oaks, Blackjack Oaks, Cedar Elms, American Elms, Hackberries, Pecans, and Cottonwoods.
