Subject: Transmittal of Land Use Plan Map & Report
It is a pleasure to transmit to the City of Southlake the
completed land use plan map and report. We would like to take
the opportunity to offer a few comments.
A large number of individual citizens, neighborhood groups,
city staff, appointed and elected local officials participated in
the development of this plan. The plan truly is theirs. They
all devoted considerable time and resources to the development of
the plan. It is they who should receive any thanks and any other
show of appreciation.
The city charter requires the plan be reviewed and updated
annually. Thus this transmittal of maps and documents marks not
the end of a process, but the beginning of a on-going municipal
planning process with excellence of quality of like as its
principal goal.
It was gratifying and certainly often interesting to have
furnished the technical support for this effort. We look forward
to working with Southlake in the future on this and other
planning projects.

a
PURPOSE
oft
This policy manual is a brief companion piece to the land use
irr plan map itself. While both may be used independently, neither
ftft should be considered without the other.
ftv
The Land Use Plan is but one element of Southlake' s growing
comprehensive planning effort. That comprehensive effort is a
combination of all the individual existing and future municipal
fft, physical planning activities ; including land use, thoroughfares,
water, sewer, storm drainage, parks , etc.
xft
S
The basic purpose of this land use element is to provide a sound,
r
reasonable and clear basis for making decisions about land use
development and related matters . A political objective of the
planning process is for the resulting policies and other
decisions to have the broadest citizen support as can be achieved
i�.
given the limitations of the planning effort.

Emphasis should be given to the fact that the land use plan, the
f1r
map and this text, is a guide. It is not a "design" that has
it been legislatively fixed. It is meant to be refined and modified
as time passes, as more and better information becomes
ir
available. It is certainly not intended to be a rejection of
better ideas.
It should be noted that planning within this context is (or
should be) a continuous process, being constantly refined and
as amended. The planning process must be a reflection of the
matter being planned. A city like Southlake is and will be
S
anything but static. City planning is not a one-time activity
ma
that results in a design that is forever fixed.
S
Another purpose of this document is recording "legislative
r
intent" . It documents the thinking behind some of the written
and graphic land use policies. It is also to be informative to
is
those citizens and other persons who may have an interest in this
S process. Additionally, it is to be an outline and written
o"' description of suggested policies and program recommendations
it
for land development management.

GOALS
lirr
it City planning serves several simultaneous general goals: health,
conservation of resources, efficiency, aesthetics, democratic
participation, rational management, etc.
A more specific aim in land use planning is the preservation and
r
enhancement of quality of life for existing and future
residential areas. This aim, while it must be balanced with
economic and other realities, is preeminent.
04,
There are many varied interests in Southlake, often with
competing and conflicting individual goals. An underlying
objective of the planning process is to balance, as best is
practically possible, those conflicting objectives; develop
compromises and new solutions where possible.
it
However, one objective is nearly universally held. That is that
isP
there should be a preservation of the aesthetic, environmental
and other related attributes of Southlake' s "rural" environment
to the maximum extent possible -- for as long as possible. The
current heated discussions over what minimum lot sizes should be
allowed in Southlake may be somewhat misplaced. Maybe it is not
the one acre lots on roughly 20% of the developed area that gives
the feeling of openness. Maybe it is the 80% to 85% of the total
r
ea
4
land area of Southlake that is in farms and acreages that gives
the feeling of openness . Perhaps that is what should be
preserved as much as possible as long as possible.
NW
It is recognized that the combination of demands for municipal
services and other growing municipal financial burdens plus
` development pressures will likely bring more development. Likely
ft
this development will be of a higher density - out of economic
necessities and other realities. It is encouraging that a large
segment of the developers currently working in Southlake
recognizes that the "quality and style of life" in Southlake has
considerable economic value to themselves. It appears they wish
to balance the need to preserve those values with their need to
realize some gain from their investments. This attitude should
be transplanted into other developers that may be coming into the
area.
r
The amount of area remaining in acreages and larger holdings plus
a
time can also work to preserve the rural character of the area.
If Southlake develops at a rate of 200 acres per year -- there is
Irr a 50 - 60 year supply of "raw" land in Southlake.
Another fairly universally held goal is that the various
interests in Southlake wish to avoid becoming another "bad"
example of unplanned suburban sprawl . The apparent choice
6„ between goals or assumptions here is:
1r
S
* • 5
(a) Sacrificing some land development "license" in a trade
for excellence. It an unfortunate fact that man, if left
r
completely to his own individual devices, will eventually
,, damage his own habitat.
irr
Gallion and Eisner point out in The Urban Pattern,
S
"Today we see these cities scarred by congestion and
decay, speculation and ugliness. We see the science
and invention of our remarkable age snarled in the
fol
tangle of the urban network. At best our cities are
ft mediocre. That mediocrity is a travesty of the
productive genius and creative energy of America.
j� It is not the desire of the people that their cities
should be so built. Rather it is their ambition to
create fine cities; otherwise the forward strides that
have been taken would not even have been attempted.
It is the essence of democracy that the people shall be
masters of their destiny, that their behavior shall be
guided by the precepts of law and order. Yet our
f cities suffer disorder and confusion as though born of
anarchy. "
of-
or;
(b) Decide that total and complete individual freedom or
laissez-faire is more important than excellence.
This would involve a conscious (or de facto) decision for
developmental Darwinism -- weak or no planning, no policies
nor regulations; letting the economically and politically
strongest few determine the developmental future of
a
Southlake.
r
i�.
a
6
lir
Texas is a stronghold of political freedom adherents. Some would
et-
claim relinquishing of any individual license is to be avoided at
all costs. But as citizens congregate more and more, enlightened
fr
ilr self-interest should make for necessary, but voluntary
relinquishing of total license. If rules for the common good are
adopted voluntarily by a majority, such rule making is not
undemocratic.
a
Herbert Smith in The Citizen' s Guide to Planning offers the
following,
"Unfortunately, we have been told that the only way the tax
base can be improved or even maintained is if we do nothing
to discourage all forms of growth, adopt no regulation or
rrr restrictions that will hamper "free enterprise" in any way,
and, certainly, never demand that development be anything
more than mediocre. To do otherwise, we are told, simply
will drive away economic opportunities and preclude the
creation of jobs for our people. But will it really? In
thinking about desirable, attractive cities or neighborhoods
you have seen -- the places that made you think, "How nice
it would be to live there" -- what did you find attractive
about them? Was it that their people had no sense of
purpose and direction and left things to chance, being
satisfied with whatever happened, or was it because someone
cared, someone bothered to plan, and those involved
recognized that quality and excellence are important and can
be achieved? If the truth were known, it would be that the
residents of desirable neighborhoods have discovered that
quality breeds excellence and that, the higher you set your
standards, the more you are sought out by those looking to
it make sound economic investments. One city in the Southwest,
with which I was once associated, may have learned this the
hard way. Its officials made a zoning change in violation
of an adopted future land use plan so that a major industry
could locate in an expanding residential area. The space
should have been used for a school and open space to add
stability to the residences; but the company wanted "freeway
exposure, " refused to consider other sites in an excellent
industrial park already zoned, and threatened to go to
another community if they didn't get their way. The change
was made, and the plant is now surrounded by a KOA
campground and some rather ill-conceived mobile-home parks.
kw
a
?
The better cities and the better neighborhoods (and this
does not simply mean more wealthy) know that Dr. John
it R. lSilber, president of Boston University, was right when he
ansaid article on excellence in Harper' s magazine:
'The only standard of performance that can sustain a
free society is excellence. It is increasingly
claimed, however, that excellence is at odds with
democracy; increasingly we are urged to offer a
dangerous embrace to mere adequacy Our flight from
excellence is profoundly philosophicalOut of a
well-intentioned but inept concern with equality of
iso opportunity, we have begun to reject anything that
exceeds anyone' s grasp. Some might argue that it is
our right to engage in this curious flight, and so it
is, the right of free men to be fools. But do we have
the right as citizens in a free society to reject
excellence on behalf of others who may not be so
foolish? '
Thus, if we are really honest with ourselves, we know that
sto
in the area of land and resource utilization, people, if
lir left to their individual devices, will be seduced by the
siren of exploitation in our erstwhile "free enterprise"
system. Collective society' s use of the planning process is
the only way that this can be overcome, excellence achieved,
the errors of the past corrected, current mistakes avoided,
and future misjudgements held to a minimum. "
a
If it is decided that a reasonable level of land development
a
regulation is necessary for excellence, the city also needs to
provide the resources with which to implement the rules.
Otherwise, they are useless and become a mockery.

ACTIVITY CENTER
The subject of a central business district, a "main" street or a
Wrr "downtown" in Southlake has been discussed during other planning
activities as well as this one. Southlake has not created a
central focus point nor does it have the vestige of an older
Pfr
downtown as do some developing suburbs. In the
past it has been
hi
made clear that the general feeling is that there should not be
r
an effort made to create a "downtown" .
r
la
However, there has emerged a general concensus that there should
be encouraged a central focus to at least governmental
a
activities. It has been recommended that the general area around
Carroll Ave. and SH 114 be encouraged to be the activity center
is
and locale for new and/or expanded municipal and other
yo
governmental functions. It is hoped that these activities would
be a magnet and attract compatible uses and activities.
I
The purpose of encouraging or establishing this type of activity
r
center would be to give some focus to Southlake as a "real" town
(Ir versus being just another amorphous bedroom community.

THE LAND USE MAP
a
A few remarks should be made about the map itself, its background
r and intent.
The map represents, to the best of combined abilities, a balance
or combination of what we would like to see as a land use
a
development pattern, what we have that probably cannot be changed
p.
ar over the next twenty years, and probably what will happen during
to the next twenty years irrespective of what we want. The map
looks forward only twenty years. But the City Charter requires
an annual updating of the plan.
Given an "optimistic" development rate of 200 acres/year, it
has been noted that in twenty years, Southlake would be only half
developed. But at this time, no one knows which half . Full
development is assumed for the purposes of development the land
sr
use pattern.
p.
The plan depicts a recommended pattern of land uses - showing
permitted (and prohibited) uses by location and amount. Many
land use plans are based on developing areas in which certain
activities are permitted or encouraged. It is desired that the
Southlake plan express also that unless so desiginated in
the following definitions, all other uses are prohibited.

The following land use definitions are in use for the purposes of

being in the 100 year flood plain. Although building in the
flood plain is permissible under certain conditions, it should be
discouraged. Building in the flood way is not permissible.
im These areas should be reserved for open space and other uses
PW compatible with their natural use of conveying and temporarily
it
holding storm runoff.
Industrial
It is the intention of Southlake to encourage industrial
development that is relatively free of unwanted side effects such
as unsightliness, noise, odor, glare, vibrations, etc. Areas
appropriate for uses with noxious side effects do not exist in
34.

i
existing or future residential areas -- especially low density
irr
areas -- will be "red-flagged" by the P&Z and Council. This is
oft-
iir particularly applicable within the 65 Ldn noise contour. This
if wide band of transitional area is graphically depicted on the map
Yr
in several locations. The purpose is that the Council wishes to
be sure that a maximum effort will be made to minimize the impact
of the non-residential development on the residential areas.
1�r
Mixed _Development
to
Yr
Southlake has numerous areas that contain large tracts of
r
undeveloped land near major transportation corridors for which
a prediction of use is difficult. It is generally felt that
bp these areas (near SH 114 , FM 1709 & FM 1938) are appropriate for
office, retail and associated type uses ( excluding industrial
bo
except in the far south east corner of the city near the railroad
tracks) serving regional uses . It is desired that residential
to
uses not be absolutely excluded from these areas. The nature of
commercial development makes future land use map distinctions
between commercial activities in these areas futile.
Yr
Wr
r*
fil
13
The key to the mixed use areas being successful from an
occupant' s and neighbor' s point of view will be how well the
accommodation of the mixed uses is addressed in site planning.
Thus, these areas may contain a mix heavy office and retail,
IIIc
neighborhood office and retail and residential uses.
Non-residential uses must be suitably buffered from residential
uses. Planned, mixed-use developments of larger tracts is
�1r encouraged. Non-residential uses will be subject to site plan
review to determine if the plan is effective in making the
development compatible with adjacent existing or potential
residential areas. New residential areas will be encouraged to
is
include buffering against existing non-residential uses.
No industrial uses should be permitted in these areas.
I
Public and Semi-Public uses may be established in these areas
assuming general compatibility.
No residential uses can be permitted for development_ within the
65 Ldn noise contour in accordance with an agreement with the DFW
International Airport. This applies to new developments or
subdivisions. Vacant lots within existing subdivisions may be
built upon providing all the avigation easement and release
requirements are met.
r
Developers of non-residential uses within the 65 ldn noise

contour (or other locations for that matter) should be well
P"
informed that the site plan review of proposed developments will
scrutinize how well adjacent residential areas are buffered.
r
lir Because of the circumstances regarding the residential areas
P within the noise contour, the City' s review of development
proposals will be especially sensitive to how well the interests
of existing residents are accommodated.
ow
The current map and this document represents a deliberate move
away from a detailed land use map. The futility of such in
Southlake' s case is well recognized. It is the intent that
details that might ordinarily appear on a land use map be
e
replaced with written policy guidelines. Reiterating, there are
of-
many large tracts of undeveloped land. About 80% of the city is
not currently developed. The location and timing of major
ift influencing transportation facility construction is in flux. No
major land use matters or trends for non-residential uses along
oo
SH 114, FM 1709 and FM 1938 have been established or even
started. Thus, a "broad-brush" approach for the map has been
used intentionally. The land use categories are intentionally
broad, being only general in what they include and exclude. The
boundaries of such categories are also intentionally vague. The
design of the land development regulatory or management process
and its associated documentation is that high quality innovative
development be encouraged.

err
15
Current policy thinking within the City that establishing
"minimum standards" will result in only minimums. The policy
direction is towards the city development review process
r
reviewing individual development proposals against desired
P performance standards, versus regulating with minimums.
The "framework" for the land use plan map is the approved
iir
Southlake Thoroughfare Plan. The following comments are from the
Plan (they appear on the face of the map) ; and are included for

GENERAL POLICY RECOMMENDATIONS
a Policies should be adopted which are aimed at preserving the
open, peaceful and uncrowded nature of the City to the extent
possible -- for as long as possible. Maintain the interior,
off-corridor large estate and agricultural tracts by encouraging
development at other locations for as long as possible. It may
a be desirable to allow or encourage pockets of residential and
other types of development in parts of the city close to major
transportation and utility networks first, maintaining the large
tracts located away from such networks.
a
Policies should be adopted to assist in avoiding the deleterious
,. side affects of rapid suburbanization that can be seen in the
IN region: traffic jams, drainage problems, utility system
overloading, awkward and inconvenient development, unattractive
neighborhoods, general local government financial problems, etc.
That is, commit to develop plans, implementation policies and
programs -- then follow them.
Citizens need to be sufficiently informed on development issues
so that they will support their elected and appointed officials
and will assist in avoiding buckling under "quick-buck type"
ft
developers or in sacrificing the quality of life in a whole
IYr sector of the city for a few tax dollars.
18
Certainly economic development is desirable, but not at any
cost.
rr "Luck is the residue of design. " Blind luck is not going to
create an excellent community. Only a commitment, not lip
Iwo
service, to comprehensive planning will begin to bring about
excellence. If Southlake wishes to be better that other cities
ar
in the region -- it must plan better. It must have a real
political and financial commitment to that planning and it must
follow up with policies and programs to implement those plans.
Such is not politically or economically cheap.
Adopt a policy of not allowing approval of zoning district
changes which will create land use incompatibility. Some
hierarchically adjacent uses may be established providing proper
Sr buffering is used.
110
Encourage development of large-tract, high-quality commercial and
industrial developments . This can be done by insuring the proper
level of infrastructure is available and that "permitting" of
err desired development is sure and expeditious. Having the proper
land use decisions in place aids in the permitting and having
public acceptance of such development "pre-gained" to the extent
p*
possible. Encourage the large-tract, mixed-use development that
has been "master planned. " Aim for a balanced ad valorem tax
base and retaining Southlake' s sales tax dollars.
wr
19
�r.
Where a group of small tracts exist -- encourage the blocking-up
iro
of these tracts for large tract development.
If it cannot be disallowed altogether -- discourage strip
development, individually and collectively, to the maximum extent
possible. Consider adopting a "corridor ordinance" for SH 114
and FM 1709 --- such as has Austin, Garland, Rowlett, etc. for
major corridors. Such controls establish setbacks , landscaping
requirements, curb cut controls, sign control, etc.
It should go without saying that there should be a scheme
relative to properties' access to streets and thoroughfare.
Ideally, property ( residential or otherwise) in a developed area
should have access only to local streets (private or public) or
collectors. As a general rule, properties should not have direct
orp access to thoroughfares or highways. Such direct access creates
unsightly strip development and subsequent frequent curb cuts
create traffic hazards and congestion.
Generated traffic is gathered by "collectors" and conveyed to
thoroughfares. Collectors , because of their lower vehicle speeds
and volumes, can tolerate some direct access. The purpose of
imp
thoroughfares is to carrying traffic , not provide access to
adjacent property.
err
0
+r.
Yr
20
Certainly, such access cannot be always avoided, as in the case
of existing small tracts with no other means of ingress or
egress. However, an important aim of the subdivsion platting
review process should be to encourage access to developing
P property via collectors and streets and to limit the number of
entrances to and from thoroughfares.
r.
Encourage orderly, sequential development that will aid in the
r,,,, development of perimeter streets, collectors, and utilities.
Off-site policies, street escrow funds and other permissible
r" tools are available to encourage orderly development and
discourage leap-frog development.
Consider further zoning and subdivision amendments that will move
the City towards measuring development proposals against desired
°11 performance standards and discontinuing "minimums. "
r
i1r
Establish a written policy (development administration plan or
rr S.O.P. ' s on how development applications or proposals will be
handled -- from preliminary meetings , to zoning, through
f
platting, developer' s agreement etc. Such a policy should be in
handbook form which could be bound together with applicable
as
regulations into a developer' s manual.
Fft
Establish a policy that when a zoning application which appears
to run counter to the land use plan or is deserving of public
s
21
6
input due to its impact -- such application will be considered as
a simultaneous land use map amendment and zoning change. The
consideration of such a change should be well publicized.
„, Adequate public input and expert testimony should be major inputs
to the decision. This helps keep the zoning consistent with the
land use plan as required -- and keeps public support for the
planning and regulatory effort. (If an application doesn't have
adequate, common sense support and is vigorously opposed --
r
should the zoning amendment be granted?)
b” Begin review and consideration of development design performance
criteria, appearance codes, corridor ordinances and other
measures to encourage environmentally and aesthetically
acceptable development.
Begin thinking about associated planning activities -- park
master plan ( including parkland acquisition policy) , drainage
master plan, completion of water and sewer plans, etc.

E CLOSING
i•• Even after all of this has been said, good planning and a
r,,, commitment to support the planning cannot alone make things
happen. Municipal land development management controls are only
a part of the overall land development mechanism. High property
values are very influential in assuring high quality development
iwr
-- and they may tend to slow the pace of development. There is
kWa direct relationship between high quality planning, high
property values and high quality projects in addition to location
and other market influences . The municipal development
management system can be a positive influence -- but it will
Wr
still take the market to make it happen. The city should take
the balanced stance of regulator and development facilitator.
us
The city is a very important player in the economic development
er process not only as its principle regulator, but also as
supporter.
1�w
It has been the intent of this brief report to represent a
concensus, balanced view of community goals regarding
OD development. From there, hopefully it accurately represents the
opinions of where we should go from where we are and by what
am
methods.
