Mixed Use Designation
Large-scale (50+ acres), master-planned mixed use developments
Located along City’s major roadways
Special attention to the design and transition between different uses
The Mixed Use designation is intended for medium- to higher-intensity office buildings, hotels, commercial activities, retail centers, and residential uses. Nuisance-free, wholly enclosed
light manufacturing and assembly uses that have no outdoor storage are permitted if designed to be compatible with adjacent uses. Other suitable activities are those permitted in the
Public Parks/Open Space, Public/Semi-Public, Low Density Residential, Medium Density Residential, Retail Commercial, and Office Commercial categories.
Land Use Recommendations
Recommend changing the land use designation from “Retail Commercial” to “Mixed Use” in the area north of the planned Village Center Extension and west of the Georgetown Park office development.
Recommend retaining the “Retail Commercial” designation for the area at the southwest corner of E. Southlake Blvd and Nolen Drive.
Recommend adding the “Rural Conservation” optional land use designation to all residentially-designated areas, encouraging clustering homes outside the 75’ LDN and preserving open space
within the 75’ LDN.
Recommendation would not apply if Low Density Residential area north of Crooked Lane is changed to Mixed Use
Recommend changing the land use designation for 305, 395, 405 and 495 S. Kimball Avenue from “Low Density Residential” to “Office Commercial” as well as the portion of 595 S. Kimball
Avenue that is within the 75’ LDN.
Recommendation of the Southlake 2030 Land Use Committee
Planning & Zoning CommissionRecommendations
“Motion made to approve the Crooked/Kimball Small Area Plan, Ordinance No. 1010 with everything being the same except for a change from the Low Density Residential cluster on the north
of Crooked Lane and the Office Commercial designations in the presentation be changed to Mixed Use. Aside from that change, the remainder of the draft be accepted as presented. The reason
for this is, per our discussion this evening, to provide the greatest market flexibility of the future property development as it may present in the future.”
Environmental Recommendations
Recommend protection of the existing tree stand along the north side of Crooked Lane across from Whispering Woods Circle and within the 75’ LDN as a buffer from any developing office
to residential properties.
Mobility Recommendations
Consider the creation of a new 60’ ROW 2-lane divided collector (C2D) with medians and left-turn/stacking lanes at intersections in the Mobility Plan to apply to the Village Center Extension
roadway.
Any new commercial driveway along Crooked Lane should be limited to the first 500 feet from Nolen Drive.
500 ft
Urban Design Recommendations
Maintain the existing tree corridor along Kimball Avenue and Crooked Lane.
