A. Except as otherwise allowed by this chapter and by chapter 16.41, no building, structure, well, utility or other improvement shall be constructed, erected, enlarged or established within the planned right-of-way of any adopted specific plan line, or within the space between the specific plan line and any required building setback line; provided, however, no restriction shall apply to any form of agricultural or horticultural plantings or crops, the maintenance of domestic animals or the maintenance of fences.

B. Permitted uses shall not be inadvertently prohibited in the South Beltway specific plan line. Oil and gas related uses located within the specific plan line are specifically exempted from the restrictions contained in this section.

C. The planning director may authorize the construction, erection, enlargement or establishment of a building, structure, well, utility or other improvement within the planned right-of-way of any adopted specific plan line, or within the space between the specific plan line and any required building setback line, if he finds that to prohibit such construction, erection, enlargement or establishment would constitute an economic hardship on the applicant, or would destroy all economic use of the applicant’s property.
