Subject:
Ordinance No. 1022: Consolidated Future Land Use Plan
Action
nd
Requested:
Conduct a public hearing,discuss and approve the 2 Reading of the proposed
Southlake 2030 Consolidated Future Land Use Plan.
Background
Information:
The Southlake 2030 Future Land Use Plan consolidates all the land use
recommendations from the sector plans and the small area plans into one
cohesive document for the city as a whole. The 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. It 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
Future Land Use Plan replaces the Southlake 2025 Future Land Use Plan,
which was adopted in 2005.
Following the last Land Use Committee meeting on January 26, 2012, the
following changes have been made:
Removed the recommendations pertaining to an economic development
process improvement team.
Modified the Cross Lane/Carroll Avenue recommendation to read as
follows: As a result of the medians, connection of Cross Lane to FM
1709 should be reevaluated during development of the Mobility Plan.
Any future connection of Cross Lane to Carroll Avenue is not intended.
(Page 15, Recommendation FM4)
Maintained the “Rural Conservation” underlying land use designation on
the Shady Oaks development. (Page 13, Recommendation C3)
Revised the scale and context criteria for hotel uses as follows: 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 grow stronger while not cannibalizing
existing and future hotels. are complementary to one another. (Page 29,
Mixed Use Scale and Context Criteria)
In addition to the changes noted above, staff has noted two other areas of the
FM Corridor area that should be considered by City Council for a land use
change and are listed as follows:
The first additional change being requested to be considered is on the White’s
Chapel United Methodist Church property located at 185 S. White Chapel
Boulevard. Currently; there is a small triangular portion on the west side of the
church property which has the Low Density Residential land use designation
and is inconsistent with the property’s current land use designation of Public /
Semi-Public use as shown in the exhibit below:
Staff is requesting the City Council consider changing this land use designation
from Low Density Residential to Public / Semi-Public.
The second additional change being requested is located at the Jellico Square
Shopping Center; there is a portion of this development which currently has the
Office Commercial and Low Density Residential land use designations as
shown in the exhibit below.
Also for consistency purposes due to the Sprouts retail center and Carpe Diem
preschool at these locations, staff is requesting City Council consider changing
these locations to Retail Commercial.
Financial
Considerations:
None.
Strategic Link:
The Consolidated Future Land Use Plan relates to all focus areas of the
strategy map.
