The community facilities district is for those institutions, health care facilities and related uses that are established in response to the health, safety, educational and welfare needs of the community. These uses are separated from others in the community due to their unique service and often very special area requirements in the community in relation to the whole. Their replacement should not be arbitrary but should be located to respond to the community's needs.

In the "CF" community facilities district, no building or land shall be used and no building shall be hereafter erected, reconstructed, altered or enlarged except for one or more of the uses in Sections 17.24.022 through 17.24.026.

(Ord. No. 1344, § 1, 10-18-2012)

If a building line shown on a city-approved subdivision plat as filed in the Tarrant County plat records is greater than fifteen feet, then the platted building line shall be required on the second front yard. Garage doors and gates meant for vehicle use shall be located no closer than twenty feet from the right-of-way.
