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. 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. Mobility Recommendations Development should be pedestrian-oriented, emphasizing pedestrian connectivity in any residential areas. Provide passive trails through preserved natural areas which also provide connectivity to the sidewalk system. Consider a roundabout at the intersection of Rucker and the north-south connector. Provide curvilinear streets. 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 Zena Rucker Road 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 and is consistent with the recommendations of the Major Corridors Urban Design Plan and the Arts Master Plan. Provide a parkway buffer and street trees adjacent to Rucker. Zena Rucker Road Recommendations for Mobility Plan Approximately 35’ wide roadway with medians “Urban” cross section which includes curb, gutters, street trees and sidewalks. Speed limit not to exceed 30 m.p.h. Design as a local slow movement roadway. Recommend a traffic signal warrant study be performed before completion of Zena Rucker Road from Bryon Nelson Pkwy to Carroll Avenue. Signage should be placed at intersection of Rucker Road and Carroll Avenue to discourage cut-through traffic behind the Shops at Southlake.
