Mixed residential development approved off North Carroll Avenue in Southlake

The project

The design includes a two-story, 23,000-square-foot office building referred to as The Overlook in front of the residential area that sits on 1.98 acres of the 9.6-acre development. The residential area behind the office will be called Willow Tree Gardens.

The background

Two proposals were brought forward at the April 2 City Council meeting, according to previous Community Impact reporting. The first proposal was to change the future land plan for the property to allow for office commercial land use. The second was to rezone that land that is set as an agriculture and single-family residential district to a transitional zoning district. Both proposals were approved.

The second reading of the project was approved May 21 with the following changes:

• No more than 20 properties within residential area, including Cross Lane properties
• Resident-only gate access on east and west entry points of residential area
• Five lots west off of Cross Lane should be at least the size represented in “Development Plan D”
• Full masonry wall from north to south covering western edge of divider between the five Cross Lane lots and the gated area and Cross Lane
