The comprehensive plan is a reflection of the community's values and serves as a blueprint for Southlake's future. More specifically, the comprehensive plan establishes a framework to coordinate the city's activities and to guide the city's decision - making for the next 20 years. As such, the comprehensive plan and its components are updated on a regular basis. The Land Use Plan is Southlake's vision for future development that serves as a guide for land use decisions and as a foundation for Southlake's zoning and subdivision regulations. The plan is a policy document that allocates the general location, concentration, and intensity of future development within the City by land use categories. The Southlake 2030 Land Use Plan replaces the Southlake 2025 Land Use Plan, which was adopted in 2005. 1.1 Sector Planning and Land Use Planning 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. Sector planning was first implemented in Southlake during the development of the Southlake 2025 Plan in 2004. The City was originally divided into nine planning areas, although some areas were combined during the actual planning process. For the purposes of the 2030 Plan, the City has been divided into eight sectors: DRAFT Consolidated Future Land Use Plon February 2012 Page 1 SOUTHLAKE 1 9 Sector Plan Areas u 114 CORRIDOR u 1709 CORRIDOR 1938 CORRIDOR CENTRAL EAST NORTH SOUTH WEST ®W 92030 During discussion of the south sector and east sector issues, the Land Use Committee decided to combine the two sectors into one plan area called the southeast sector. The resulting plan document is the Southeast Sector Plan. Similarly, the 1709 corridor and 1938 corridor were consolidated into one plan called the F.M. 1709 and F.M. 1938 Corridor Plan (also known as the F.M. Corridor Plan). Through the sector planning process, the Land Use Committee identified two additional small planning areas that required further discussion and review: a 150 -acre area at the southwest corner of E. Southlake Boulevard and S. Carroll Avenue (Carroll /1709 Plan Area) and an 82 -acre area between S. Kimball Avenue and S. Nolen Drive (Crooked /Kimball Plan Area). The two resulting "Small Area Plans" take 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. 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 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 Consolidated Future Land Use Plan February 2012 Page 2 MAP 1: SOUTHLAKE 2030 PLANNING SECTORS 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 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. 1.2 Approval Process and Public Involvement The Southlake 2030 Land Use Plan Committee, which included the Planning & Zoning Commission as well as City Council members, oversaw the development of the Sector Plans, Small Area Plans, and the Consolidated Future Land Use Plan. Altogether, the committee held 18 public meetings between November 2009 and January 2012 to discuss, review, and develop land use recommendations for the eight planning sectors, two small planning areas, and the city as a whole. All of these meetings were advertised on the city's website and through the Southlake 2030 email newsletter. In addition, a Southlake Program for the Involvement of Neighborhoods (SPIN) meeting was held for each individual plan to solicit public input. The SPIN forum fosters open and timely communication between the citizens and city government regarding programs and issues affecting the quality of life in the community in order to provide positive relations and a stronger sense of community. After reviewing comments from the SPIN meeting, the Land Use Plan committee forwarded each sector plan and small area plan to the Planning and Zoning Commission and the City Council for formal approval. A public hearing was held by both the Planning and Zoning Commission and the City Council before final approval. In summary, the approval process for each sector plan and small area plan was as follows: 1. Land Use Plan Committee meetings 2. SPIN meeting 3. Land Use Plan Committee meeting 4. Planning & Zoning Commission public hearing 5. City Council 1 reading 6. City Council 2 nd reading and public hearing (final plan approval) mfr In addition, both the Planning & Zoning Commission and the City Council held public hearings for the Consolidated Future Land Use Plan prior to adoption by Ordinance 1022 in March 2012. DRAFT Consolidated Future Land Use Plon February 2012 Page 3 1.3 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 D). Si � 1 Plan Ele ments �J The Strategic Management System guided the development of the Southlake 2030 Plan Vision, City Activities Goals and Objectives (VGO), which define a desired 11 -Capital Improvements Program direction for growth for the City. As such, all r, -Departmental Business Plans recommendations in the Southlake 2030 Plan are +`a 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 These recommendations guide the development of the Capital Improvements Program (a five -year plan for the purchase, construction or replacement of the City's physical assets) as well as departmental business plans. In turn, the Capital Improvements Program and departmental business plans dictate the city's day -to -day activities and ensure the city is working to achieve the community's goals. Further, the Southlake 2030 Plan assists the City Council and Boards and Commissions in decision - making by establishing a blueprint for the city's future. For example, the Planning & Zoning Commission and City Council use the Consolidated Future Land Use Plan to evaluate zoning requests and the manner and style in which development occurs. Using the Plan as a guide helps to secure the community's vision for growth and redevelopment. DRAFT Consolidated Future Land Use Plon February 2012 Page 4 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 elision (N orth T exas future as well as an action plan to achieve that vision. The Oers{n��nurC�;rnsar Grow Eh 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 Q. Additional information on North Texas 2050 and Vision North Texas is available at www.visionnorthtexas.org. 1.5 Relationship to Zoning A comprehensive plan and its land use plan component are policy instruments; therefore, they are advisory and general in nature. Zoning, in the form of a zoning ordinance, is the primary mechanism used by a municipality to implement its land use plan portion of the comprehensive plan. Texas Local Government Code, Section 211.004, Compliance with Comprehensive Plon, differentiates zoning ordinances from land use (or comprehensive) plans. The generally accepted interpretation of Section 211.004 is that an adopted land use plan (or comprehensive plan) forms a legal basis for zoning and, therefore, zoning should be in accordance with the land use plan. The zoning ordinance interprets the general pattern and categories of land uses in the land use plan into districts of permissible activities within specific district boundaries. DRAFT Consolidated Future Land Use Plon February 2012 Page 5 2.0 Land Use Goals and Objectives All components of the Southlake 2030 Plan are guided by the Southlake 2030 Vision, Goals and Objectives, which were adopted by City Council on November 17, 2009.

The City saw a 13% increase in Public Parks & Open Space with the addition of North Park as well as expansion of Bob Jones Park and the Bob Jones Nature Center. The Public /Semi - Public category also increased primarily due to the development of two new schools and due to the development or expansion of churches. The Mixed Use category increased in part as a result of the removal of the Transition 1 and Transition 2 optional land use categories. The decrease in the Office Commercial category is mostly attributed to the reclassification of properties to Mixed Use to allow additional flexibility. The following pie charts show the acreage distribution for the underlying land use categories for the 2005 Future Land Use Plan and the 2012 Future Land Use Plan respectively.

Additional information such as the recommended land use mix, scale and context criteria, and overall character and design characteristics are provided for land use categories that include a mix of uses and require further clarification. Floodplain Purpose and Definition: The Floodplain category illustrates areas designated by the August 1995 Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) maps as being in the 100 -year floodplain. The "floodplain" is an expanse of natural vegetation and wildlife, and should be preserved as natural open area. Within the floodplain is "floodway" that must be kept free of encroachment in order that the 100 -year flood may be carried without harmful increases in the height of flood waters. Although it is not to be encouraged, the portion of the floodplain not in the floodway may be reclaimed for development under certain circumstances if in accordance with FEMA regulations. The designated land use for areas of reclaimed floodplain is that of the immediately adjacent land use category. This designation may a i nc l u d e itally sensitive areas, habitats, er wetlands that may net -he in FEW fle dplains. Corps of Engineers Purpose and Definition: The Corps of Engineers category includes all property adjacent to Grapevine Lake owned by the federal government and managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (COE). The primary purpose of this property is the temporary reservoir storage of flood waters. Within the COE ownership (and, in some instances, on adjacent private land), there is a regulatory flowage easement at an elevation of 572 feet above sea level. Through lease agreements with the COE, property within the Corps of Engineers category may be utilized as parks, recreation, and open space. Ancillary commercial and retail activities associated with these uses are permitted, but no habitable structures may be developed within the flowage easement. Public Parks / Open Space Purpose and Definition: Public Parks /Open Space are public areas designated for active and passive recreation, such as parks and athletic complexes, and public open space for the preservation of the scenic vistas and natural vegetation of the City. This Land Use Plan depicts only existing Public Parks /Open Space facilities; potential Public Parks /Open Space sites are illustrated in the Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Master Plan. DRAFT Consolidated Future Land Use Plan February 2012 Page 23 Public / Semi - Public Purpose and Definition: Public /Semi- Public areas are suitable for a wide range of public, civic, and religious uses, such as government offices and facilities, public and private schools, churches and related facilities (including parsonage and parochial schools), cemeteries, and Public Parks /Open Space uses in conjunction with these developments. Low Density Residential Purpose: The purpose of the Low Density Residential land use category is to provide for and to protect low intensity detached single - family residential development that promotes the openness and rural character of Southlake. 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. Land Use Percentage of Acreage Flexibility Allowed Single- family Residential 85% ±15% Open space ** 10% ±10% Civic use 5% ±5% Tota 1 100 *These percentages are not regulatory and should only be used as a guide. * *Park dedication fees may be appropriate in lieu of open space. Small subdivisions (less than 4 lots) may be designed without open space. Scale and Context Criteria: Scale and context criteria describe intensity, location, and compatibility criteria for the mix of land uses proposed. Residential uses: o Single family detached dwellings at a net density of one or fewer dwelling units per acre. Open space: • Open spaces should be designed to add value to the development and may include parks, playgrounds, greenbelts, ponds and lakes, gardens, and conservation areas. • Provide natural walking paths along stream and creek corridors. • Preserve existing wooded areas and stream corridors when feasible. • Emphasize environmental elements as "features" rather than constraints. Civic uses: DRAFT Consolidated Future Land Use Plan February 2012 Page 24 o Small scale government offices and facilities, schools, churches and related facilities Overall Character and Design: This land use category is primarily characterized by single family detached dwellings with rural cross - section roadways. Medium Density Residential Purpose: The purpose of the Medium Density Residential land use category is to promote a neighborhood setting primarily comprised of single family detached houses. ' imited ^{{i^^ and Definition: The Medium Density Residential category is suitable for any single - family detached residential development. In certain specified locations (see Site Specific Recommendations on the Future Land Use Plan Map), limited low intensity office and /or retail uses may be permitted provided that such non - residential uses are compatible with and not intrusive to the adjacent residential uses.

Civir 11SPS' o Small scale government offices and facilities, schools, churches and related facilities. Overall Character and Design Images: Medium Density Residential Uses Office Commercial Purpose and 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 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 previously discussed. 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.

Examples: Typical Office Commercial Uses Retail Commercial Purpose and 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 Consolidated Future Land Use Plan February 2012 Page 27 Regional Retail Purpose: To preserve and promote quality, high- intensity retail centers along the S.H. 114 corridor that provide convenient shopping for Southlake residents and to attract residents of neighboring communities. Definition: The Regional Retail land use category is a higher- intensity commercial category providing for regional retail shopping facilities that generally draw customers from a very large market area (5 mile radius or greater). Development within this land use may consist of a single large anchor store (> 100,000 sq. ft.) or have multiple anchor tenants (department, supermarket, drug, home improvement, sporting, variety, or specialty) along with pad sites developed on the fringe of the area. Other permitted secondary uses include fast food, restaurants, banks and service stations; however, these uses must be integrated into the larger primary use. Regional Retail designated areas should have direct access to State Highway 114. Also, development within the Regional Retail land use category must adhere to specific design guidelines (see appendix). Land Use Mix *: The percentages below for the land use mix in the Regional Retail category are intended only to be guidelines, and greater flexibility may be appropriate under site specific conditions. Land Use Percentage of Acreage Flexibility Allowed Retail 90% ±10% Office 5% ±5 Open space 5% ±5% Tota I 100 *These percentages are not regulatory and should only be used as a guide. Mixed Use Purpose: To provide an option for large- scale, master - planned, mixed use developments that combine land uses such as office facilities, shopping, dining, parks, and residential uses. This d es ig nat i — ;- planned develepment. Definition: The range of activities permitted, the diverse natural features, and the varying proximity to thoroughfares of areas in the Mixed Use category necessitates comprehensively planned and coordinated development. New development must be compatible with and not intrusive to existing development. Further, special attention should be placed on the design and transition between different uses. Typically, the Mixed Use designation is intended for medium- to higher- intensity office buildings, hotels, commercial activities, retail centers, and residential uses. Nuisance -free, wholly enclosed light manufacturing and assembly uses that have no outdoor storage are permitted if designed to be compatible with adjacent uses. Other suitable activities are those permitted in the Public Parks /Open Space, Public /Semi- Public, Low Density Residential, Medium Density Residential, Retail Commercial, and Office Commercial categories previously discussed. DRAFT Consolidated Future Land Use Plan February 2012 Page 28 Land Use Mix *: The percentages below for the land use mix in the Mixed Use category are intended only to be guidelines, and greater flexibility may be appropriate under site specific conditions.

Scale and Context Criteria: General: o Buildings and their pedestrian entrances are to be oriented towards internal streets. o Larger- format retail uses (with footprints larger than 40,000 s.f.) shall be located adjacent to the arterial or highway with pedestrian entrances from internal streets. Retail and Office uses: o Pedestrian - oriented or automobile- oriented. Hotel uses: o Hotel uses should be full- service hotels at market - driven locations. arimarily in the S.H. 114 Corridor. Full- service, for the purposes of this plan, shall be hotels that include a table- service restaurant within or directly attached to the hotel. Other services or amenities typically included would be bell service and room service, as well as available meeting space. o The desire is to approve hotels adequate to support market - driven commerce in the City, paying attention to the product mix such that the hospitality services in the area are complementary to one another. Single- family Residential uses: o Residential uses are to be located between the proposed office or retail uses and existing residential neighborhoods. These uses are intended to provide a lower intensity transition between existing neighborhoods and commercial uses. o Residential uses should be well integrated with proposed open space and other civic uses to create a sense of place. o They should also be integrated with proposed commercial uses in a manner that provides internal automobile and pedestrian access to convenience commercial uses. o Single- family residential uses are recommended to be to the density and scale that is appropriate based on the context and character of the proposed overall development. Open space: o Consider environmental elements as "features," rather than constraints. o Emphasis shall be placed on preservation of existing wooded areas and stream corridors.

(See the appendix for specific form standards.) The EC land use category is intended for a continuum of development from the highest intensity mixed use development immediately adjacent to the highway to the lowest intensity residential uses adjacent to existing neighborhoods. The EC land use category shall be applied to contiguous properties that are a minimum of 75 acres. To address this desired intensity gradient of development, the EC land use category is further defined into three (3) sub- categories — EC -1, EC -2, and EC- Residential (EC -R) categories. DRAFT Consolidated Future Land Use Plan February 2012 Page 35 Natural Open Space Rural Cross - Section Roadway Encouraged Employment Center 1 (EC -1) Purpose and Definition: The EC -1 category is intended for the highest intensity of commercial and employment uses immediately adjacent to S.H. 114. This land use category should be applied to properties that have significant frontage along the highway, have limited development constraints, and are largely undeveloped or underdeveloped. For optimal development opportunities, properties in the EC -1 land use category should have a minimum contiguous frontage of 1,200 feet. The EC -1 land use category shall be a maximum of 700 feet in depth (as measured from the R -O -W of S.H. 114). The EC -1 land use category has to be applied in conjunction with the EC -2 and EC -R land use categories to provide for compatible transitions to adjoining neighborhoods. As a percentage of the entire EC land use category applied, the EC -1 land use category shall not exceed twenty -five percent (25 %) of any EC district.

DRAFT Consolidated Future Land Use Plan February 2012 Page 39 Character Images: Residential Uses Integrated with Open Space and Natural Features Representative Residential Uses DRAFT Consolidated Future Land Use Plan February 2012 Page 40 Open Space 6.0 Airport Compatible Land Uses Due to an agreement between the City of Southlake and the Dallas - Fort Worth International Airport, development is restricted in certain areas of the City. The agreement created two noise contour "zones" within Southlake; these noise contour "zones" are indicated on the land use map. No residential development is allowed within the 75+ LDN noise contour. Residential development is allowed in the 65 -75 LDN contour provided that a certain noise level reduction (NLR) is met. Non - residential uses are permitted in both contour zones, but must meet specific noise level reduction requirements. Please refer to the Airport Compatible Land Use Zoning Ordinance No. 479 for details of these regulations. DRAFT Consolidated Future Land Use Plan February 2012 Page 41 7.0 Natural Resource Extraction Activities 7.1 Policy on Natural Resource Extraction Activities The city of Southlake places significant emphasis on the protection of the natural environment, including tree preservation, protection of ground water resources and air quality. The city recognizes that the preservation of the natural environment provides a significant protection of the quality of life our citizens enjoy. Increased market demand and possibly vast natural gas reserves from the Barnett Shale have created economic opportunities for some area residents in terms of leases, royalties and bonus payments. In order to balance the economic upside with environmental protection, the city has established the following policies to guide regulatory and approval decisions regarding natural resource extraction activities within the city. 1. Any natural resource extraction activity should demonstrate that the street or highway facilities providing access to the activity are adequate in functional classification, width and structural capacity to meet the requirements of the proposed activity. Also, the operator must ensure that the city will be reimbursed monetarily for any damages to public assets such as roadways that may be damaged as a direct result of activities related to natural resource extraction. 2. Natural resource extraction activities, including the installation and operation of pipelines, should occur in a manner that minimizes its impact on surrounding properties, specifically residential uses. 3. Activity related to production should be buffered adequately from adjoining uses, including screening and other fencing that minimizes the nuisance impacts of the extraction activity. 4. Any natural resource activity should minimize impact on the city's natural environment, specifically resources identified on the city's Environmental Resource Protection Map. The city will consider the following when evaluating an application to permit natural resource extraction activity: o Disturbance of existing vegetation; o Grading of soils; o Soil and erosion control; o Wildlife habitats; o Ground water resources; o Surface water resources; and o Federal, state and local regulations. DRAFT Consolidated Future Land Use Plan February 2012 Page 42 5. Companies proposing to operate will conduct educational and informational meetings between the city, the citizens, and property owners to ensure cooperation, coordination, and communication. 6. New developments (residential and commercial) should be planned to take into account current and future natural resource extraction activity to the extent it can be reasonably anticipated and vice versa. 7. All drilling and production operations including truck traffic and the location of any easements for pipe lines should be conducted in a manner which minimizes the impact on existing surface uses and conducted in a manner that does not negatively impact future planned land uses, roadways, pathways, sidewalks, open space areas, and parks. The locations of any easements for pipe lines are to be along property boundaries. 8. Well sites should be reclaimed and closed by techniques which ensure that the future use of the property is not impaired because of environmental or safety problems or the existence of improperly abandoned or located equipment such as well heads or flowlines. Applicants should specifically address timelines for drilling, production, and reclamation activity during initial application. 9. Prior to the commencement of any activities related to natural resource extraction, the owner or operator must obtain all required permits and meet all applicable city regulations and ordinances. Also, the operator must demonstrate to the city through written plans and procedures and other information deemed necessary to demonstrate that the activity can be conducted in a manner that ensures the health, safety and welfare of the citizens. 10. Application for a Specific Use Permit for drilling should encompass the entire proposed pad site. 11. Location of equipment associated with wells such as separators and water tanks should be centralized and apart from the pad site and located in a manner where truck traffic has minimum impact on adjacent land uses. 7.2 Site Design Standards for Oil & Gas Drilling & Production Pad Sites In addition to meeting all city ordinances and regulations, all pad sites that are in gas drilling production operation within the city shall meet the following standards for fencing and buffering. Hardscape — surface treatment of the pad: 1. During Drilling — crushed concrete aggregate. 2. During Production — o Dust free aggregate of a decomposed granite material. o Where site disturbance exceeds the fenced areas of the pad, natural ground cover shall be restored with aggregate of native grass seeding. 2. Fencing: 1. During Drilling — 8' high chain link fence with all weather fabric in black or dark green; 8' high chain link gate. DRAFT Consolidated Future Land Use Plan February 2012 Page 43 2. During Production — Masonry or a combination of masonry and wrought iron with similar characteristics as the rendering illustrated in Figure 1. 3. Landscaping: 1. During Production —Vegetative screening as recommended in Figure 1. 4. Lighting: 1. All pad sites shall be well lit during drilling and production phases with fixtures using high - pressure sodium bulbs. Lighting during production shall meet the city's lighting ordinance, as amended. Maximum height of fixtures shall be 25'. Light fixtures shall match those of the adjoining neighborhoods or development and be approved by City Council. All lighting must meet Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) standards. 5. Color during production phase: 1. All wrought iron fences and gates shall be painted dark green or black. 2. All equipment on the pad site shall be painted in earth tones limited to beige, brown, and green. 6. Access roads and driveways 1. During drilling, all access drives shall meet the city's standards for construction entrances and driveways. 2. During production, all access drives shall be paved, dust -free and subject to applicable city standards and ordinances. Access drives shall be approved by City Council.

Facades and Exterior Walls INTENT: Facades shall be articulated to reduce the massive scale and the uniform, impersonal appearances of large retail buildings and provide visual interest that will be consistent with the community's identity character, and scale. The intent is to encourage a more human scale that residents of Southlake will be able to identify with their community. GUIDELINE: Developments shall use animating features such as arcades, display windows, entry areas, or awnings along at least 60 percent of the front and 50% of the side facades that face a public right -of -way. 2. Roofs INTENT: Variations in roof lines should be used to add interest to, and reduce the massive scale of large buildings. GUIDELINE: Roof lines shall be varied. Mansard roofs, gable roofs, hip roofs, or dormers shall be incorporated. Alternating lengths and designs may be acceptable and can be addressed during the preliminary development plan. DRAFT Consolidated Future Land Use Plon February 2012 Page 46 3. Parking Lot Orientation INTENT: Parking areas should provide safe, convenient, and efficient access for vehicles and pedestrians. They should be distributed around large buildings in order to shorten the distance to other buildings and public sidewalks and to reduce the overall scale of the paved surface. If buildings are located closer to streets, the scale of the complex is reduced, pedestrian traffic is encouraged, and architectural details take on added importance. GUIDELINE: No more than 60 percent of the off - street parking area for the entire property shall be located between the front fagade within the front yard of the principal building(s) and the primary abutting street unless the principal building(s) and /or parking lots are screened from view by out parcel development (such as restaurants) and additional tree plantings and /or berms. DRAFT Consolidated Future Land Use Plon February 2012 Page 47 4. Entryways INTENT: Entryway design elements and variations should give orientation and aesthetically pleasing character to the building. The standards identify desirable entryway design features. Large retail buildings should feature multiple entrances. Multiple building entrances reduce walking distances from cars, facilitate pedestrian and bicycle access from public sidewalks, and provide convenience where certain entrances offer access to individual stores, or identified departments in a store. GUIDELINES: Each principal building on a site shall have clearly defined, highly visible customer entrances featuring no less than three of the following: • canopies or porticos • overhangs • recesses /projections • arcades • raised corniced parapets over the door • peaked roof forms • arches • outdoor patios • display windows • architectural details such as tile work and moldings which are integrated into the building structure and design • integral planters or wing walls that incorporate landscaped areas and /or places for sitting All sides of a principal building that directly face a public right -of -way shall feature at least one customer entrance. The number of entrances for the principal building shall be addressed at the preliminary development plan stage. Where additional stores will be DRAFT Consolidated Future Land Use Plan February 2012 Page 48 located in the principal building, each such store shall have at least one exterior customer entrance, which shall conform to the above requirements. 5. Pedestrian Flows INTENT: Provide safe and efficient pedestrian movement from the parking areas to the store front(s). GUIDELINES: • Pedestrian walkways from the parking lot to the store entrances shall be provided. All internal pedestrian walkways shall be distinguished from driving surfaces through the use of durable, low maintenance surface materials such as pavers, bricks, or scored concrete to enhance pedestrian safety and comfort, as well as the attractiveness of the walkways. Signs shall be installed to designate pedestrian walkways. • Sidewalks, no less than 8 feet in width, shall be provided along the full length of the building along any facade featuring a customer entrance, and along any facade abutting public parking areas_ Such sidewalks shall be located at least six (6) feet from the facade of the building to provide planting beds for foundation landscaping, except where features such as arcades or entryways are part of the facade. 6. Building Backs INTENT: The rear or of buildings often present an unattractive view of blank walls_ GUIDELINE: Back of building should not be clearly visible from the public right -of- ways or adjacent residential. Additional landscaping may be required by the Planning Commission to effectively buffer adjacent land use as deemed appropriate. 7. Building Colors INTENT: Exterior building colors comprise a significant part of the visual impact of a building and therefore should be aesthetically pleasing. GUIDELINE: Facade colors shall be low reflectance, subtle, neutral or earth tone colors. The use of high intensity colors, metallic colors, or fluorescent color is prohibited. 8. Central Features and Community Spaces INTENT: Buildings should offer attractive and inviting pedestrian scale features, spaces and amenities. Entrances and parking lots should be configured to be functional and inviting with walkways conveniently tied to logical destinations. Drop- off/pick -up points should be considered as integral parts of the configuration. Pedestrian ways should be anchored by special design features such as towers, arcades, porticos, pedestrian light fixtures, bollards, planter walls, and other architectural elements that define circulation DRAFT Consolidated Future Land Use Plan February 2012 Page 49 ways and outdoor spaces. The features and spaces should enhance the building and the center as integral parts of the community fabric. GUIDELINE: Each retail establishment subject to these standards shall contribute to the establishment or enhancement of community and public spaces by providing at least two of the following: patio /seating area, pedestrian plaza with benches, window shopping walkways, outdoor play area, water feature, clock tower, steeple, or other such deliberately shaped area and /or a focal feature or amenity that, in the judgment of the Planning Commission, adequately enhances such community and public spaces. Any such areas shall have direct access to the public sidewalk network and such features shall not be constructed of materials that are inferior to the pflh ipal materials of the building and landscape.
