EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Situation
The West Sector is generally located west of Davis Boulevard (FM 1938) and Randol Mill
Avenue.
Plan Details
The West Sector Plan is the second of eight sector plans developed during the Southlake
2030 process. The sector is comprised of a mix of low density and medium density
residential land uses with limited office and retail uses adjacent to F.M. 1709. As such, the
primary objectives for planning in the west sector are preserving the residential character of
the area and providing a buffer between F.M. 1709 and residential properties. The West
Sector Plan further addresses the unique characteristics and challenges of the west side
and provides specific planning recommendations in regard to land use, mobility,
environmental resources, as well as parks, recreation and open space.
QUESTIONS CONCERNS
Do you have more information regarding FM 1938? The trees are gone and it looks
like Westlake is coming through. Do you know the timeline?
o Westlake has started construction of Phase 1 six lanes. Phase 2 in
Southlake consists of four lanes with medians. City Council doesn't want
commercial along Randol Mill. Southlake timing is 2014 for construction. We
will be creating landscape plans within the next couple of years. Retaining
walls are planned as consistent with the Urban Design Plan.
Will Westlake be completed by 2014? It will go from six lanes to two lanes
temporarily?
o Yes; Phase 1 construction will take about a year.
What is the estimated completion for Southlake (Phase 2)?
o The project should start and complete within 2014 unless there is a funding
issue.
Is this state funded?
o This is a County and City project
Will there be sidewalks?
o Yes, an 8 foot trail is planned on Southlake east side.
The intersection at Pearson and Johnson needs a traffic light.
Where is the church going?
o Bethel Methodist Church is proposed west of Jellico on the two southern lots.
Can you clarify what is planned for the city owned lots north of the water tanks?
o The City is recommending that the three lots just north of the water tanks
change land use designation from low density residential to public semi
public. It is anticipated that these lots will remain vacant and undeveloped.
