Goals and Objectives

12 Planning and Development

Program Trends
Permanent Population Growth:
o Residential and mixed- use developments have the potential to significantly increase
our permanent population and as of late, we have had a marked increase in the
number of residential homes being constructed

Housing Start Increases:
o Westlake is expecting continued single family residential construction as a result of
Granada, Quail Hollow and Entrada. At least 30 single family permits are estimated to
be issued this year.

Solana Complex:
o Low supply and high demand in the suburban office market coupled with the robust
growth along the SH 114 corridor have led to an increase in tenant finish- outs in the
existing Solana buildings. Interest in the remaining undeveloped portions of the PD1
zoning district has also increased.

Management of Development:
o As the economy and the surrounding cities in the Metroplex experience commercial
development and the influx of individuals continue to make the North Texas Region
their home, we will need to manage our distinctive housing developments to ensure
we maintain our community as an ‘oasis of natural beauty’ as contained in our Vision
statement.

2017- 2018 Highlights
The second phase of the infrastructure for the Granada residential subdivision, at the corner
of Solana Blvd. and FM 1938/ Davis Blvd., is complete with new homes being constructed.
The adopted Entrada mixed- use development, along SH 114, is planned to be constructed
over the next several years. It will include both commercial and residential components and
feature a Spanish village theme.
The first phase of the Charles Schwab corporate campus located just south of the
intersection of SH 170 and SH 114 is approved and under construction. This phase includes
over 1,000,000 square feet. Completion is scheduled for 2019.
