Predominant exterior finish colors and visual appearance within the first two stories shall be similar to that which is present on adjacent existing buildings. Trim (i.e., lintels, sills, door jambs, cornices and other similar items) shall be tones and textures that are visually complementary to the predominant facade. Where wood trim may be in use, for existing buildings, materials that duplicate or simulate the appearance of the original construction must be used in refurbishment (Accent colors for friezes, doors and door frames, window frames and mullions, signage, awnings, moldings and other similar features shall be colors that are complementary to, and compatible with, the spirit and intent of the downtown streetscape (bright or fluorescent colors which were not typically used in early Texas downtowns shall not be used). For stories above the second floor, materials shall match or be complementary to the first two stories so as to not by means of design, exterior illumination, signage, or other means detract from, be more reflective than, be more vibrant than, or draw the eye from the first two floors.

Reflective glass shall not be used for windows; detailing for windows, doors and other openings shall be of wood, glass or a metal material that is complementary to the period or building style.

Facade openings shall comprise at least forty percent (40%) of the building's facade area on the first two (2) floors.

New utility lines to business establishments shall be placed underground wherever feasible (or toward the rear of existing buildings if placing underground is not possible). Overhead utility lines to existing businesses that existed on May 4, 2015 shall be deemed legally nonconforming and shall be allowed to remain until improvements are made to the building (or the building is reconstructed), at which time the utility lines shall be relocated underground if such improvements or reconstruction are extensive (see Section 7, Nonconforming Uses and Structures), and if it is reasonably possible to do so.

Pedestrian spaces shall be treated with amenities that are selected based upon their ability to unify the streetscape with the area's historic past. It is important that elements such as construction materials, colors, textures, and fixture design complement the area's historic qualities. These features shall be repeated throughout the streetscape so as to unify the district as a whole.

Planters, window boxes, planter boxes and containers, street furniture, street and building lighting, benches, trash receptacles, bollards, street signs, building signage, and other streetscape furnishings shall be complementary to the historical time frame of the OT area, and shall be located not more than eight feet (8') from the building front/facade or shall be located within the pedestrian zone directly in front of the applicable building or business. The City shall be authorized to create and maintain a "pattern book" to guide, and regulate, the selection of all streetscape amenities and fixtures for the purpose of ensuring compatibility among such amenities and fixtures within the OT district. Conformance and compatibility with such designs shall be required, and installations that are not in keeping with these designs and with the OT district's overall historic image shall be removed if so directed by the City.

Shall not be placed/located more than eight feet (8') from the main building or within any easement; limited amounts of items can be displayed outside on the public sidewalk, even if such sidewalk is technically within a front or side yard setback, provided that minimum four-foot (4') wide ADA-compliant clearance is maintained at all times (any items that are deemed to be hazardous or a nuisance must be removed immediately upon notice by the City).

Shall not occupy any on-street or off-street parking spaces.

Shall only be located in front of the property/business which is selling the item(s).

All outside display items shall be removed at the end of business each day (except for large seasonal items such as Christmas trees).

All merchandise shall be displayed in a neat, orderly manner, and the display area shall be maintained in a clean, litter-free manner.

The interior side yard setback between two nonresidential buildings may be reduced to zero feet (0') where the two buildings share a common interior lot line, where construction of a fire-rated party wall in accordance with the City’s building and fire codes is used, and when approved by the City Council on the site plan following a favorable recommendation by the Planning and Zoning Commission. Where such a reduced side yard setback is utilized, the equivalent open space and landscape plantings and buffers that are normally required along a shared side property boundary shall be provided elsewhere on each respective affected lot (i.e., shall not be waived, just provided somewhere else). Approval of a site plan that shows such a reduced zero-foot side yard setback between two nonresidential buildings shall be discretionary in nature, and shall be based upon an analysis of the location, the configuration, and the impact and compatibility of the proposed construction with respect to adjacent land uses and structures.

The minimum acreage for each portion of a mixed-use PD district shall be as set forth above for each type of land use within the mixed-use district (unless this requirement is recommended by the Planning and Zoning Commission, and waived by City Council upon approval of the PD district, due to unusual size constraints that are unique to the subject land parcel itself).

No minimum acreage requirement, provided that the request is deemed to be in substantial conformance with the OT district regulations with some minor flexibilities that would allow and encourage favorable redevelopment of a property, and provided that the request cannot be construed as “spot zoning.”

A concept plan for residential land use(s) shall clearly show general uses, phasing of the development, access, thoroughfares, alleys (if proposed), preliminary lot arrangements, proposed densities, proposed screening, landscaped or private amenity areas, project scheduling, and other pertinent development data (see Section 12 of this Ordinance for concept plan requirements and procedures).

A concept plan for nonresidential, multifamily, single-family attached, or manufactured home land use(s) shall clearly show all pertinent aspects of the type and nature of the proposed development.

The proposed use is consistent with the general purpose and intent of the applicable zoning district regulations;

The proposed use meets all supplemental standards specifically applicable to the use as set forth in Section 43 of this Ordinance;
