Item 6C (2)CITY OF SOUTHLAKE MEMORANDUM February 29, 2012 To: City Council From: Ken Baker, AICP — Director of Planning & Development Services Subject: Ordinance No. 1021: Southlake 2030 S.H. 114 Corridor Plan Action Requested: Conduct Public Hearing and consider 2n Reading of the proposed Ordinance No. 1021: Southlake 2030 S.H. 114 Corridor Plan. Background Information: 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. This sector plan would be the final sector plan and the sixth sector plan for formal consideration during the Southlake 2030 Plan process pertaining to land use. Financial Considerations: None. Strategic Link: The S.H. 114 Corridor Plan relates to all focus areas of the strategy map. Citizen Input/ Board Review: All meetings of the Southlake 2030 Land Use Plan Committee are open to the public. The committee met on July 27, 2011, September 1, 2011, October 19, 2011 and January 26, 2012 to discuss the S.H. 114 Corridor. In addition, a SPIN meeting was held on December 5, 2011 (see the SPIN report in Attachment A). A public hearing was held at the Planning & Zoning Commission meeting on February 9, 2012. A public hearing will also be scheduled at a City Council meeting on March 6, 2012. Planning & Zoning Commission: February 9, 2012; Approved (6 -0) as presented by staff.

The most prominent land uses include commercial activities, office and public /semi public uses. The primary objectives for planning in the S.H. 114 corridor are improving specific traffic intersections, adjusting underlying land use designations as appropriate, maintaining high development and urban design standards, and ensuring continued quality growth. The Plan further addresses the unique characteristics and challenges of this major roadway corridor and provides specific planning recommendations in regard to land use, mobility, and economic development. Future Land Use Recommendations: Specific Mobility Recommendations: • Consider realigning the intersection of Sams School Road and W. Dove Road to line up with N. Peytonville Ave. • Consider a dual roundabout at the intersection of W. Highland Street and N. White Chapel Blvd. QUESTIONS / CONCERNS • Are the roundabouts proving effective? o Yes, they improve efficiency of traffic and are safer. Also, as unique features, roundabouts provide for urban design elements (SL 2025) for art and as landmarks. • When will sidewalks be addressed specifically? o The Sidewalk Plan will be formally addressed in FY2013, however, annual priority lists for construction have been successful. The FY2012 priority list will be presented to SPIN early next year. • The change on Kimball Road (600 block) that used to be rural. Now there is increased traffic with the church and school. On the East side of Kimball, residential sales have declined since 2007 with 8 or 9 foreclosures. Kimball traffic is causing the residential market to fall. The city should study how to handle the east side of Kimball Rd. (Estancia, Patterson's Pond, etc.). In regards to ED1 — setting up shovel ready sites: I feel that current process works well (SPIN, P &Z, City Council). It seems that homeowners would lose direct input. Do we really need to compete with other cities? • Carroll Avenue and traffic congestion — what happened to the plan for a Texas turnaround? o We are currently pursuing a STEP grant; we will continue to explore options with the Mobility Plan. • We need to keep traffic on 114 and off of Carroll. The 7 -11 corner is a mess. Mobility needs continued focus. We should have sidewalks leading to Town Square. • What about the hospital? Is it considered high intensity or low intensity? o The hospital is a part of the mixed use; transition to residential was considered with a high quality development plan that placed intensity along S.H. 114 and a highly buffered area along Highland. a y.L . � QUESTIONS / CONCERNS • Are the roundabouts proving effective? o Yes, they improve efficiency of traffic and are safer.

Does the city have a water plan that can keep up with this development plan? • We are going to finalize the Land Use Plan first, then ensure that facilities can meet the plan. • It is a distribution issue that will be helped when a larger water line is placed; we are working with Westlake regarding that plan. Also, it is a regional issue; consumers need to change their quantity of consumption. • The water shortage problems should be fixed first... o We will be addressing this issue further in the Water/Wastewater /Storm water Plan. • Will the city consider incentives for residential water wells? • Not that I am aware of; possibly in the Water Plan. • The TCEQ regulates ground water consumption so that would have to be considered. o It's a tough issue... we need to get smarter with irrigation. • What about recycling gray water? o We can explore that...
