Planning Commission approves Cardinal Court preliminary plat for five lots at 2080 East Dove Road

The Southlake Planning and Zoning Commission voted 6-0 on Feb. 6 to recommend approval of a preliminary plat for Cardinal Court, a proposal to subdivide 7.4 acres at 2080 East Dove Road into five single‑family lots and two open‑space lots.

City staff presented the proposal and described the parcel as low‑density residential and zoned SF‑1A. The staff presentation included an aerial view, a site design showing five residential lots and two open‑space lots bordering Dove Road, and a tree conservation plan showing which trees would be removed and which would be preserved.

The item drew no public comment during the public hearing. The applicant told the commission he had “nothing to add to the great presentation from staff” and offered to answer questions. Commissioners discussed that the application is largely a ministerial matter under state law and consistent with prior approvals and zoning on the site. A commissioner moved to approve the item “subject to our staff report, dated 01/31/2025, and the plat review summary number 1 dated 01/31/2025.” A second was recorded and the motion passed 6-0.

Under the commission’s procedure, the recommendation will be forwarded to the City Council for final action; staff noted the next regular council meeting is Feb. 18, 2025. The approval at the commission level was limited to the recommendation and conditions listed in the staff report and plat review summary; final plat approval and technical plan review remain subject to city review.

The commission’s action was limited to the details shown in the staff materials and the plat; any changes required by technical review or by council will return as required in the city’s approval process.
