1.0 Introduction
The Consolidated Future Land Use Plan (the Land Use Plan) is a component of the Southlake 2030 Plan,
the city's comprehensive plan. 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:

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.

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 St reading
6. City Council 2 reading and public
hearing (final plan approval)
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.

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).

direction for growth for the City. As such, all -Departmental Business Plans
recommendations in the Southlake 2030 Plan are
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.

1.4 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
is ion North T exas future as well as an action plan to achieve that vision. The
UBrs#nd�o��urQ;r�nsor Grawh 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 E). 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 Plan, 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.

3.0 Summary of Land Use Plan Changes
The Southlake 2030 Consolidated Future Land Use Plan is an update to the Southlake 2025 Consolidated
Future Land Use Plan. Through the sector planning and area planning process, a number of land use
changes were recommended and nearly all of these recommendations were implemented in the
Consolidated Future Land Use Plan. A summary of changes are provided in the following sections.
Citywide Changes
• Removed T -1 and T -2 from the land use map.
• Revised the definition for Medium Density Residential to remove office and retail uses. Limited
office and /or retail uses may be appropriate only in areas with a site specific recommendation
to allow such uses.
• Revised the Floodplain designation to match the FEMA 100 -year flood plain.
• Revised the Mixed Use definition to allow application on smaller properties (less than 50 acres)
and to provide scale and context criteria for hotel uses.
• Revised the Rural Conservation definition to allow application on smaller properties (less than
20 acres) and to remove reference to conservation easements.

The most significant change was the 16% decrease in 100 Year Flood Plain, which is attributed to
reconciling the flood plain category with FEMA's 100 year flood plain boundaries. 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

4.0 Land Use Categories and Definitions
The following sections describe the twelve underlying land use categories. 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 deSigRatiaR May ^'S^
--mentally sensitive areas, habitats, er wetlands that may Ret be in FENAA ident fle-edplains.
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
March 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
March 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. ' ;n.,;*„,- e ff ee ^nd
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. 1 -ifflited '&.v i .RteRs i ty eff and/E)F reta uses may be perm PFA-V th-At *hP- Ra;;*'-'I:P- A-f *4e

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.

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.

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.

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. primarily 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.

• Avoid channeling or piping of streams.
• Streams or creeks should become a focal point rather than the rear of the
development.
• Provide natural walking paths along stream and creek corridors.
• Well designed and integrated open spaces are critical to the creation of successful
mixed -use neighborhoods.
• Open spaces should be designed to add value to proposed development and not as an

o Civic uses such as day- cares, post office, police substation, local government offices,
churches, etc. are encouraged. Ideally, civic uses should be located centrally in the
development and provide convenient access to all other uses and activities in the
development.
• Civic uses are to be designed to the scale and context of the neighborhood. Uses are
encouraged to be appropriately scaled to the proposed development and generally
limited to a maximum of 10,000 square feet of built area.
Overall Character and Design:
• Buildings are to be designed to be pedestrian friendly.
• Buildings shall have shallow setbacks and sidewalks that are a minimum of 10'.
• Buildings are to be oriented towards other buildings (across the street) or towards open
spaces.
• Minimize the impact of surface parking.
• Mix up land uses to maximize shared parking.

Land Use Categories and
The optional land use categories provide alternative tools to encourage creativity and flexibility in
development while preserving Southlake's unique character. These alternative land use categories may
be used by developers in lieu of the underlying land use category in cases where master planned
developments are proposed.
Rural Conservation (RC)
Purpose: The Rural Conservation (RC) land use designation is intended to protect and preserve a
portion of Southlake's natural environment and rural character and to provide flexibility in design to
promote environmentally sensitive and efficient residential development.

Scale and Context Criteria:
• Preserve unique or sensitive natural resources such as floodplains, wetlands, streams, steep
slopes, woodlands, wildlife habitat, and agricultural /ranching areas.
• Cluster houses and structures in less environmentally sensitive areas which will reduce the
amount of infrastructure, including paved surfaces and utility easements necessary for
development.
• Reduce erosion and sedimentation by minimizing land disturbance and removal of
vegetation for development.
• Encourage interaction in the community by clustering houses and orienting them closer to
the street, providing public gathering places and encouraging the use of parks and
community facilities as focal points in the neighborhood.

Employment Center (EC)
The purpose of the Employment Center (EC) land use designation is to provide for a comprehensive set
of design standards and guidelines for the development of the City's premier corridor — the S.H. 114
Corridor. (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.

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.

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.

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
March 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
March 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.

Appendix A
Regional Retail Design Guidelines
Development within the Regional Retail land use category must adhere to the following design
guidelines.
1. 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 Plan
March 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 Plan
March 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
March 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 sides 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
March 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 principal materials of the building
and landscape.
