SPECIAL SOUTHLAKE 2030 STAFF REPORT
August 10, 2011
SUBJECT: Ordinance No. 1009, Carroll/1709 Small Area Plan
INTRODUCTION: During the Southlake 2030 comprehensive planning process in 2010, the Land
Use Committee determined that an area at the southwest corner of E. Southlake
Boulevard and S. Carroll Avenue was too significant to Southlake's future to
include in a larger discussion on a community -wide level. To that end, the
Carroll/1709 Small Area Plan was created to articulate the City's vision for the 150-
acre area and guide future development decisions. The subject area is owned by
few owners and is mostly undeveloped or underdeveloped. It is located at one of
Southlake's most prominent and visible intersections due to its proximity to
Southlake Town Square and the Shops at Southlake. The resulting policy the Plan
recommends is medium -density residential development with significant
environmental preservation and use of residential "clusters" south of a planned
collector street. Retail and office uses would be planned along the Southlake
Boulevard frontage.
The 162 acres at the southwest corner of E. Southlake Blvd and Carroll Ave
remain as one of the last and largest undeveloped areas within the City of
Southlake. As public infrastructure has expanded and properties have continued
to develop around the site, the value of the undeveloped land has increased
exponentially. The following are just some factors that have contributed to the
property's increase in value:
• Close proximity to office and retail uses at Southlake Town Square, the
Shops at Southlake (specifically the Central Market grocer, and the
Villages at Timarron;
• Close proximity to Rockenbaugh and Old Union Elementary Schools; and
• Ease of access to the fully -developed regional arterials of SH 26, SH 114,
and FM 1709
• Location at one of the busiest intersections in Southlake
ACTION NEEDED: Consider 15t Reading Approval of Ordinance No. 1009, Carrol1/1709 Small

Small Area Planning and Land Use
Planning: An 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 uide to all decision making as it pertains to the City's future
development. 'X
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.
"Small Area Plans" takes sector planning to a more thorough and detailed level. They focus on specific
strategically significant geographic areas of the city that will have a great impact on the future of the
community. Small area plans might be considered an appendix to a Sector Plan in that it simply
recommends more specific land uses and layouts than a typical Sector Plan would recommend.
Although recommendations may vary from area to area, all sector and small area 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 and small area plans are consolidated to create one cohesive document for the City as a
whole and the result is the City's Land Use Plan.
DRAFT Carroll/1709 Smoll Area Plan
August 10, 2011 Page i
Recommendations developed in the sector and small area 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 and small area 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.
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
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 C). Additional information on North Texas 2050 and Vision North Texas is available at
www.visionnorthtexas.org.

1.0 Introduction to the
Carroll/1709 Small Area
The Carroll/1709 Area is bordered on the south and west by the Timmaron residential villages of
Wyndsor Creek, Brenwyck, and Bryson Square. The area has frontage on E. Southlake Boulevard (F.M.
1709) to the north and S. Carroll Avenue to the east. The existing residential cul-de-sac subdivision of La
Paloma extends into the site at its southeastern corner. In all, the area is approximately 150 acres in
size.

1.1 Character of the Area
As mentioned previously, the 150-acre area is predominantly undeveloped ranchland with significant
portions of it on the eastern and western boundaries dedicated to wooded 500-year floodplain or other
drainage features. Carroll Avenue is decreased to two lanes adjacent to the majority of this property's
frontage.
The eastern half of the property was once used at a personal landing strip for area residents. While the
blue airplane hangar seen below remains, the grass runway is overgrown and unused.

Eight residential dwellings exist in the planning area today, however one is currently vacant and six
others are under one ownership. Most of the residential structures in the area were constructed before
1970, according to the Tarrant Appraisal District.

In addition, Zena Rucker Road terminates near the northwest corner of the site. Once complete, Zena
Rucker Road will extend from Byron Nelson Parkway to Carroll Avenue through the subject area. One
obstacle to that connection is the floodplain on the western boundary, where a creek crossing will be
required.
1.2.2 Existing Zoning & Entitlements
The majority of the land area is zoned "AG" Agricultural District, although much of the area is
conforming agricultural zoning, others are not. The "AG" zoning designation was a default "unzoned"
designation given upon the passage of Southlake's Zoning Ordinance No. 480 in 1989. The properties on
the far southern end of the plan area do not meet the required land area nor lot dimensions of the "AG"
district and are thus "nonconforming." One lot in the far southwest corner has been zoned "SF-20A"
Single Family Residential but is undeveloped. That lot has direct access to Durham Court in the
Brenwyck village of Timmaron. 1W,
MAP 3: SOUTHEAST SECTOR EXISTING NLANDES
Three properties along Southlake Boulevard have "S-P-1" or "S-P-2," which are site -specific zoning
categories. Two of these development applications —"The Plaza on Southlake Boulevard" and "Tower
Plaza" —are adjacent to each other and were processed in the past four years. This allowed for the
proper planning of a street dedication between the properties that will allow access to a full median
opening on Southlake Boulevard. A traffic -circle is also planned for the intersection of that connector

road and the planned Zena Rucker Road previously mentioned. The westernmost "S-P-1"-zoned
property was included in the planning area because Zena Rucker Road will have to bisect the property at
its southern end, which is land area otherwise rendered unbuildable because of floodplain constraints.

2.0 Planning Challenges and Issues
Along with the adopted Vision, Goals and Objectives of the Southlake 2030 Plan, these challenges and
issues serve as the basis for many of the recommendations outlined in the following chapters.
Environmental Preservation
As mentioned previously, most of the site today is dedicated to wooded floodplain or other water
features such as large ponds. Development of the site will be driven by these features as the City of
Southlake encourages development that respects existing nat.pral features by preserving large tree
stands, open space, and natural topography where possible
Mobility and Connectivity
Southlake Town Square, the Shops at Southlake and other office and retail uses, as well as two
elementary schools (Rockenbaugh and Old Union) are all within relative close proximity to this planning
area. The area has great potential to increase walkability for existing and future homes in the vicinity.
Pedestrian pathways are currently planned in the Southlake 2025 Master Pathways Plan to follow Zena
Rucker Road east -west and the floodplain areas north -south.
.
The alignment of Zena Rucker Road as it intersects Carroll Avenue poses many issues and questions;
particularly traffic signalization and signage and the actual location of the intersection. These issues
were discussed in the Southlake 2025 planning process in 2005, but a closer examination of the issues
might be warranted with this site -specific planning effort.
Land Use
The only two underlying land use designations on the property are "Office Commercial" and "Medium
Density Residential." The optional land use categories of "T-1" and "T-2" area also applied to the area,
however initial recommendations of the Southlake 2030 Land Use Committee is to remove the
"Transition" land use category from the Future Land Use Map.
DRAFT Carroll/1709 Small Area Plan
August 10, 2011 Page 6
3.0 Existing Plans
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 Zoning Map which shows how land is
currently zoned, used and regulated. 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. The map below represents the Future Land Use designations recommended in
the Southlake 2025 Land Use Plan.

"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. The following two maps represent the recommended thoroughfares in and
around the subject area.

The City of Southlake places a high priority on sidewalks and trails for both mobility and recreation.
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).

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.

4.0 Small Area Plan Recommendations
■
Ii
The above map is considered the Illustrative Recommendations Map for the Carroll/1709 Small Area
Plan and should be used to illustrate the desired future build -out of land uses in this area.
Recommendations for land use, mobility, and environmental resource protection are outlined in the
tables on the following pages.
The second column provides a brief description of the issues specific to the site and the third column
provides recommendations to address the issues. The implementation metric in the fourth column is a
quantifiable goal with a specified deadline for achievement. The "Strategic Link" and "VGO Tie" relate
the issues, recommendations and implementation metrics to Strategic Focus Areas from the City's
Strategy Map and to specific objectives from the adopted Southlake 2030 Vision, Goals and Objectives.
The "VNT Link" column relates the issues and recommendations to the guiding principles of the Vision
North Texas document, North Texas 2050. The final column provides the abbreviation for the
department(s) that will take the lead on the implementation of the recommendations. This format is
followed for all the recommendation tables in this plan.
