Analysis
The City of Grand Prairie is undertaking a small area plan focused around the south 360 corridor from Ragland/Debbie Road to the ETJ. The purpose of this effort is to update a portion of the 2018 Comprehensive Plan to reflect development in the southern region and to take a more focused look at desired and potential land uses in this area. Factors will include floodplain and other natural constraints, current zoning, and City Council’s stated desire that this area be predominantly medium to high-end single-family residential with limited multi-family and non-retail commercial uses.
This planning project will build upon and update the City’s Comprehensive Plan for the southern sector by outlining strengths, weaknesses, constraints, and possibilities specifically related to the remaining undeveloped properties along the corridor in the context of surrounding residential and commercial development in the cities of Arlington, Mansfield, Midlothian, and Venus. FNI will also analyze the impact of potential road construction by TX DOT within the area, specifically frontage roads on highway 287 and the future extension of highway 360. The report itself will be concise and will include relevant maps and photos as necessary to convey highest and best uses.
Financial Consideration
Funding for this professional services contract in the total amount of $110,000, is available by approving an ordinance transferring and appropriating from the unobligated fund balance in the Street Capital Projects Fund (400192) to WO #02111003 (360 South Area Plan)
