Item 6DCITY OF <LLJ ®® SOUTHLAKE Department of Planning & Development Services 02030 SPECIAL SOUTHLAKE 2030 STAFF REPORT August 31, 2011 SUBJECT: Ordinance No. 1009, Carroll 11709 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: (1) Conduct a public hearing (2) Consider 1 st Reading Approval of Ordinance No. 1009, Carrol111709 Small Area Plan ATTACHMENTS: (A) Vicinity Map/ Property Owners Map/ SPIN Meeting Report (B) Ordinance No. 1009 SPIN: A SPIN meeting was held on April 11, 2011.

Workshops were held regarding these Special Areas with details to include the following: o Purpose ■ 150 contiguous acres of prime land remains un(der)developed ■ Too important to "lump" into a discussion on a sector plan o Group A recommendations • Clustered housing • Protected open space areas with trails around perimeter • All commercial uses north of Rucker • Commercial uses face both Rucker and FM 1709 o Group B recommendations • Perimeter open space buffer • Rucker connect to Oak Tree entrance • Office uses south side of Rucker • Retail use at hard corner o Group C recommendations ■ Office uses on south side of Rucker with parking behind • Similar to Carroll ■ Significant Urban Design feature at corner of Carroll &1709 o Two Remaining Questions... ■ Are "Office Commercial" uses recommended on the south side of Zena Rucker Road? • Landscape buffer recommended • Parking to rear recommended • Same scale and style as N. Carroll Ave offices between Southlake Blvd & SH 114 Should Zena Rucker Road connect to Carroll across from Westmont Drive (Oak Tree Estates)? o Option A • Garden Office along south side of Zena Rucker Road • Parking to the rear of the building o Option B ■ Significant Landscape Buffer between residential & Zena Rucker Road o Zena Rucker Road • Approximately 35' wide roadway with the possibility of parallel parking on one or both sides along portions of the roadway. • "Urban" cross section which includes curb, gutters, street trees and sidewalks. • Speed limit not to exceed 25 m.p.h. • Design as a local slow movement roadway. • Intersection of Rucker Road and Carroll Avenue may ultimately be controlled through traffic signalization or 4 -way stop. • Intersection of Rucker Road and Carroll Avenue will be located as far south as possible from the FM 1 709/Carroll Avenue intersection and in a manner that does not negatively impact the residential properties in Oak Tree Estates. o Land Use Recommendations • Recommend "Retail Commercial" L.U.D. for local service, retail, and restaurant uses (similar to the uses permitted in the C -2 zoning district) for the northeast corner of the property; bounded by Carroll Avenue to the east, Southlake Blvd to the north, Zena Rucker Road to the south, and the planned street connection to the west. • Recommend "Office Commercial" L.U.D. for the area east of the creek, south of Southlake Blvd, north of Zena Rucker Road, and west of the planned street connection. • Buildings' backs facing Zena Rucker Rd or Southlake Blvd should be limited. Rear facades should face the interior of the site. • Medium Density Residential is appropriate for most of the area south of Zena Rucker Road. • A "cluster" concept would be welcomed for any residential development. o Environmental Recommendations • Regional drainage opportunities should be explored. • Preserve /enhance the existing creeks and ponds. • Encourage water reuse for irrigation. • Encourage green building design and practices. o Mobility Recommendations • Development should be pedestrian- oriented, emphasizing pedestrian connectivity in any residential areas. • Provide passive trails through preserved natural areas. Provide connectivity to the sidewalk system. • Consider a roundabout at the intersection of Rucker and the north -south connector. • Provide curvilinear streets. o Urban Design Recommendations ■ Provide a special urban design, art, or water feature at the southwest corner of the Southlake Blvd and Carroll Avenue intersection that emphasizes the prominence of that intersection. ■ Provide a parkway buffer and street trees adjacent to Rucker. QUESTIONS /CONCERNS • Where is the trade off? Open space is expensive and lots are smaller and cheaper. Why not add more lots? o Open space could be maintained or simply preserved. Market studies show this is preferred. • The creek and woods are pristine; that area should be turned over to nature conservancy. Proposing to open trails up to Timarron causes me to worry about damage. o The Trail Plan is conceptual, it can be changed accordingly. • Option B is preferred. I like the greenbelt; there is already too much office. • We would like the Zena Rucker Road alignment to remain straight. Traffic will not get much better no matter. • 1 suggest widening the drive on the west side of Central Market. I am worried about people entering our subdivision (Oak Tree Estates). Is there future development planned for that area? o Yes, there is an approved pad but no approved site plan at this time. • Is Zena Rucker Road currently planned to have parallel parking? Is there anywhere else in the City that has parallel parking like that? o The Southlake 2025 Master Thoroughfare Plan does recommend a pavement width that would accommodate on- street parallel parking, which is typical of local residential streets in Southlake and some local commercial streets. • What is meant by "passive" trail, in reference to the recommended trails through the preserved areas? o Passive —or "recreational " — trails can be made of either concrete, asphalt, or natural materials (i.e. gravel, dirt, crushed /decomposed granite, etc.) and typically meander through natural areas. An "active" trail, for comparison, is a trail that is typically served as a major pedestrian mobility corridor between various destinations and is the type of trail typically used by bicyclists, roller- bladers, and other such pedestrian activity. SPIN Meeting Reports are general observations of SPIN Meetings by City staff and SPIN Representatives. The report is neither verbatim nor official meeting minutes; rather it serves to inform elected and appointed officials, City staff, and the public of the issues and questions raised by residents and the general responses made. Responses as summarized in this report should not be taken as guarantees by the applicant. Interested parties are strongly encouraged to follow the case through the Planning and Zoning Commission and final action by City Council.

A0 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_ erves as a_ Hide 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. 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. DRAFT Carroll /1709 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.

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. DRAFT Carroll /1709 Small Area Plan August 10, 2011 Page 2 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.

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 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 DRAFT Carroll /1709 Smoll Area Plan August 10, 2011 Page 4 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. DRAFT Carroll /1709 Small Area Plan August 10, 2011 Page 5 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 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.

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.

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). 1 I I� Pathways Plan Saufhwesl Gamer Car(&AveIFM 1709 1 9 2030 r "LEND M F—Area Future Pat".

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. DRAFT Carroll /1709 Small Area Plan August 10, 2011 Page 11 CARROLL /1709 SMALL AREA PLAN RECOMMENDATIONS Ref.
