Item 7BCITY OF <LLJ ®® SOUTHLAKE Department of Planning & Development Services 02030 SPECIAL SOUTHLAKE 2030 STAFF REPORT August 10, 2011 SUBJECT: Ordinance No. 1010, Crooked Kimball Small Area Plan INTRODUCTION: When the Southlake 2030 Committee recommended the removal of the "Transition" land use designation from the Optional Land Use Map, a congruency issue was created in one area of the City where current development regulations would not permit what the Comprehensive Land Use Plan recommends. The purpose of this Special Plan Area is to address this congruency issue and articulate the City's vision for this largely undeveloped area. ACTION NEEDED: ATTACHMENTS: Specifically, an area between S. Kimball Avenue and S. Nolen Drive lies within the DFW Airport Noise Corridor for Runway 13R/31 L, which was opened for airplane traffic in December 1986. Southlake Zoning Ordinance No. 479, passed March 1990, regulates "Airport Compatible Land Use" in this corridor and prohibits any residential, public, and some commercial uses within the 75 -LDN. It also regulates building construction within the 65 -LDN for many types of land uses. The Comprehensive Land Use Plan (Southlake 2025 and the Southeast Sector of Southlake 2030) recommends "Low Density Residential" in an area where such development is prohibited by Ordinance. No. 479. Additionally, 36 of the 82 acres within the subject boundary is vacant, undeveloped property; most of which is continuous and within the 75 -LDN overlay. Eleven (11) additional acres could be considered ripe for redevelopment, thus totaling 47 continuous acres of new development potential.

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. DRAFT Crooked /Kimball Small Area Plan August 10, 2011 Page i "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. 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. DRAFT Crooked /Kimball Small Area Plan August 10, 2011 Page ii 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 V sio 1 Nash Texas future as well as an action plan to achieve that vision. The 0►x#ersf n Our or;Cm ;6cGroujfh 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).

Environmental Preservation There is a considerable amount of existing tree cover and open space in the area. Crooked Lane is lined with a number of large mature trees, as is the east side of Kimball Avenue. The optional land use category of "T -1" is 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. Once removed, the remaining underlying land use designation of "Low Density Residential" is not consistent with the regulatory ordinance governing uses within the airport noise corridor. DRAFT Crooked /Kimball 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.

Underlying & Optional Land Use Recommendations The following section describes the four underlying and optional land use categories that apply to this property. 1. Office Commerical The southeast portion of the property which fronts Nolen Drive and Crooked Lane is designated for "Office Commercial." Definition: The Office Commercial category is a commercial category designed and intended for the exclusive use of office and limited office - related activities. It is established for and will be DRAFT Crooked /Kimball Small Area Plan August 10, 2011 Page 9 allocated to those districts best suited for supporting commercial activity of an office character. It has been established to encourage and permit general professional and business offices of high quality and appearance, in attractive landscaped surroundings with the types of uses and design exterior appearance so controlled as to be generally compatible with existing and future adjacent and surrounding residential development. Properties with this designation may serve as a transition between established residential neighborhoods, major roadways, and retail development. Other suitable activities are those permitted in the Public Parks /Open Space and Public /Semi- Public categories. Land Use Mix *: The percentages below for the land use mix in the Office Commercial category are intended only to be guidelines, and greater flexibility may be appropriate under site specific conditions.

Low Density Residential X X The majority of the subject property is designated for "Medium Density Residential" and is located generally south of Crooked Lane and along S. Kimball Avenue. Definition: The Low Density Residential category is for detached single - family residential development at a net density of one or fewer dwelling units per acre. Net density is the number of dwelling units per net acre, which excludes acreage in all public rights -of -way. Other suitable activities are those permitted in the Public Parks / Open Space and Public / Semi - Public categories described previously. The Low Density Residential category encourages the openness and rural character of the City of Southlake. Land Use Mix *: The percentages below for the land use mix in the Low Density Residential category are intended only to be guidelines, and greater flexibility may be appropriate under site specific conditions.

DRAFT Crooked /Kimball Small Area Plan August 10, 2011 Page 10 3. Retail Commercial The northernmost portions of the area which either front or are closest to Southlake Blvd carry a designation of Retail Commercial. Definition: The Retail Commercial category is a lower- to medium - intensity commercial category providing for neighborhood -type retail shopping facilities and general commercial support activities. It is intended to provide limited local retail and /or office uses which serve neighborhoods in close proximity. It is intended that all uses in this category will be compatible with adjacent single family uses, thereby maintaining the character and integrity of existing neighborhoods. This category is intended to encourage comprehensively planned developments. In areas where the Retail Commercial designation is adjacent to residentially zoned properties or areas with a residential designation on the Land Use Plan, lower intensity activities such as office or office - related uses should be planned adjacent to the residential uses. Other suitable activities are those permitted in the Public Parks /Open Space, Public /Semi - Public, and Office Commercial categories previously discussed. Land Use Mix *: The percentages below for the land use mix in the Retail Commercial category are intended only to be guidelines, and greater flexibility may be appropriate under site specific conditions.

DRAFT Crooked /Kimball Small Area Plan August 10, 2011 Page 11 Transition 1 (T -1) Purpose: The purpose of the Transition 1 (T -1) land use category is to provide an alternative tool to allow for the flexibility and creativity in the development of "transition" sites. The T -1 district is intended to consist of primarily non - residential uses; however, limited single - family residential development may be appropriate in some cases. The standards and criteria established under this land use category constitute general guidelines for the staff, Planning & Zoning Commission, and City Council to evaluate comprehensive development proposals for specific transition properties as identified in the City's Land Use Plan. The T -1 transition land use may be utilized by the developer lieu of the underlying land use category in cases where master planned developments are proposed.

DRAFT Crooked /Kimball Small Area Plan August 10, 2011 Page 12 o Retail uses are to be limited to convenience and neighborhood retail and service uses such as a drug store, grocery store, laundry, cleaners, etc. developed in conjunction with the adjoining retail commercial uses. • Provide safe and easy pedestrian access to the retail from the surrounding neighborhoods and other adjacent developments. • The total amount of retail in a specific T -1 category is recommended to be in the 25,000 s.f.— 50,000 s.f. range. between existing neighborhoods and commercial uses. appropriate based on the context and character of the proposed overall development. Open space o Consider environmental elements as "features" rather than constraints. • Emphasis shall be placed on preservation of existing wooded areas and stream corridors. • Avoid channeling or piping of streams. • Streams or creeks should become a focal point rather than the rear of the development. o Provide natural walking paths along stream and creek corridors. • Well designed and integrated open spaces are critical to the creation of successful mixed -use neighborhoods. • Open spaces should be designed to add value to proposed development and not as an "after- thought". To that end, open spaces should maximize frontage along residential and office uses. Open spaces shall occupy a prominent place in the development of a neighborhood and form the center pieces of a community. DRAFT Crooked /Kimball Small Area Plan August 10, 2011 Page 13 o Open spaces are intended to be the "front- yards" and invite passive recreational activities. Open spaces may be in the form of pocket parks, children's play areas, squares, linear greens, and conservation areas. Active sports fields and activities are not recommended in the T -1 land use category. o Use the topography as an advantage, do not flatten the site. o Preserve views. f ivir IIC0Q. a Residential Uses Neighborhood Scale Retail Uses Natural Open Space Areas DRAFT Crooked /Kimball Small Area Plan August 10, 2011 Civic Use Page 14 Residential Uses Residential Uses Professional Office Use Professional Office Use Integrated Open Space Overall Character and Design: Given the close proximity of the different land uses permitted in this land use category, attention to design detail is critical to a successful development in the T -1 land use category. • The proposed development is encouraged to establish an overall concept and theme for the project as a whole. • Emphasis should be placed on an interconnected street pattern that encourages internal circulation, both automobile and pedestrian, within the district. • Development should limit the visual impact of surface parking lots by dividing parking lots into smaller pods and locating parking to the side and rear of buildings. • The scale of development should encourage 1 -2 story buildings which are oriented toward the street, limiting the impact of surface parking lots. • Street design shall be compatible with the character of the development. Streets are encouraged to create a safe and inviting walking environment through an interconnected network of roads with sidewalks, street trees, street furniture, and amenities.
