The Southlake City Council convened on October 7, 2025, to discuss several key agenda items, primarily focusing on a proposed amendment to the city's consolidated future land use plan and a zoning change for the property located at 2530 Johnson Road.

The meeting began with the second reading of an amendment to the land use plan, which seeks to change the designation of the property from low-density residential to medium-density residential. Additionally, the zoning change would transition the land from an agricultural district to a residential planned unit development district. Director Killo presented the details, noting that the property is currently designated for agricultural use and provided visual aids to illustrate the area.

During the discussion, it was highlighted that the council had previously approved the first reading of this amendment, with the stipulation that the applicant present an option that included at least one lot of one acre or more. The applicant has since submitted three options for consideration. Option A, which is the preferred choice, proposes a complete change to medium density for the entire tract, featuring two individual driveways accessing Bermuda Court.

Options B and C present alternative configurations, with Option B suggesting a mix of low-density lots on the frontage and medium-density lots adjacent to Bermuda Court, while Option C reverses this arrangement. Each option includes specific details regarding lot sizes, access points, and fencing plans.

The Planning and Zoning Commission had previously recommended denial of both requests during their September 4 meeting. Despite this, the council approved the first reading of the land use amendment and zoning development plan, with a vote of 5-2, directing the applicant to return with at least one plan that includes a one-acre lot.

The council also noted that they had received a total of 12 opposition notifications from nearby properties, indicating community concern regarding the proposed changes. Following the presentation by Director Killo, the applicant, represented by Curtis Young and Travis Franks, was invited to present their case to the council.

In conclusion, the meeting underscored the ongoing discussions surrounding land use and zoning in Southlake, reflecting the council's efforts to balance development with community feedback. Further deliberations and potential decisions on this matter are expected in future meetings as the council continues to evaluate the proposals.
