Lubbock City Zoning Code

ARTICLE 39

02 ZONING DISTRICTS AND LAND USES

§ 39.02.001 Purpose and applicability.

Purpose.

The purpose of this Article is to establish zoning districts and to set out permitted, limited, specific, and prohibited uses in each zoning district. The zoning districts are shown on the Official Zoning Map, which is established in Section 39.02.002, Official Zoning Map.

Applicability.

No building or land may be used, and no building may be erected, altered, or moved that is used or designed to be used for any purpose other than the uses that are permitted in the zoning district in which that building, or land is located.

(Ordinance 2023-O0054 adopted 5/9/2023)

§ 39.02.002 Official zoning map.

Generally.

Zoning districts are shown on the map entitled "Official Zoning Map" of the City of Lubbock. The Director of Planning and Office of the City Secretary shall each keep a complete set of the Official Zoning Map in any convenient format, either electronically or in hard copy, available for inspection during regular business hours.

Force and effect.

The Official Zoning Map, together with all legends, references, symbols, boundaries, and other information, is part of and has the same force of law as the text of this UDC.

Status of the zoning map.

The Official Zoning Map shall control in the event of a conflict between the map that is on file and any other paper or digital reproduction of the map. If the Official Zoning Map and a zone change ordinance for a property differ, the zone change ordinance shall govern.

Interpreting the zoning map.

Criteria. Where the map appears to be unclear regarding the location of district boundaries, the Director of Planning shall make a determination using the following criteria:

Rights-of-way or easements. Where boundary lines appear to follow existing streets, alleys, railroad tracks, utility lines, or similar features, the zoning boundary shall be construed to follow the centerline of the rights-of-way or easements. Where the location of these features on the ground differs from that shown on the Official Zoning Map, the features on the ground control.

Annexed and undesignated lands. For the purposes of ensuring that all land has a zoning designation, any land that is annexed into the City shall be zoned Low Density Single-Family (SF-2). However, upon filing a petition for annexation, an owner may also apply to rezone the property. But, no change in zoning will take effect prior to the annexation proceedings being conducted and approved by City Council, and until the rezoning request has been heard by the Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council.

City limits. Where a district boundary is indicated as approximately following a City limit line, then the City limit line shall also be considered the district boundary.

Property lines. Where the boundaries are indicated as approximately following property lines, such lines shall be construed to be the boundaries.

Vacation or abandonment. Where a public right-of-way is officially vacated or abandoned, the regulations applicable to the abutting property apply equally to the vacated or abandoned right-of-way.

Interpretation. If the boundary remains uncertain, the Director of Planning shall interpret the Official Zoning Map to determine the location of the boundary in question.

(Ordinance 2023-O0054 adopted 5/9/2023; Ordinance 2025-O0095 adopted 8/18/2025)

§ 39.02.003 Zoning district establishment

Generally.

Table 39.02.003-1, Zoning Districts:

Establishes the zoning districts for the City;

Provides the available subdivision types as further articulated in Division 4.3, Subdivision Types; and

Establishes purpose statements for each district and subdivision type.

It is not mandatory that a zone change occur adjacent to a "suggested adjacent district." These adjacent districts are merely recommendations for the Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council to consider when making a recommendation and taking final action.

The minimum lot area shown for Base Residential districts and the Infill Overlay is that of a single-family detached unit. The minimum lot area shown for the Base Public and Nonresidential districts is that of a nonresidential use.

The former zoning districts are from Chapter 40, Zoning, of the City of Lubbock Code of Ordinances (Ordinance Number 7084, adopted June 26, 1975, as amended on June 11, 2019, by Ordinance Number 2019-O0065), which is repealed on the Effective Date of this UDC.

Base zoning districts.

All properties within the City limits have an associated base zoning district. A base zoning district applies a uniform set of standards, including, but not limited to, those related to:

Permitted, limited, specific, and prohibited uses;

Land use standards; and

Building site design standards.

Overlay districts.

An overlay district establishes regulations to combine with the regulations of an underlying base district. The purposes of an overlay district are to:

Authorize uses via a set of standards for such uses that are not otherwise allowed in the base district; or

Establish additional or different conditions for such uses.

§ 39.02.004 Base residential districts.

Residential Estates (RE).

Purpose. The purpose of this zoning district and subdivision type is to provide for:

Conventional. Very low-density residential neighborhoods with on-site utilities, preserved rural low-density character on private property, managed growth on the periphery of the City, and the ability of the property owner to keep large animals.

Cluster. Residential neighborhoods with on-site utilities that have a high percentage of common open space to maintain rural character.

Subdivision types.

Conventional. A conventional residential estates subdivision shall consist of acreage lots, each with a single-family detached dwelling and access from a street that is internal to the development. A conventional residential estates development is characterized by the width of lots, separation of dwellings, and the depth of buildingsetbacks, with open space and view contained on individual lots. Figure 39.02.004.a-1, RE Subdivision Types Examples, provides a visual example of the conventional subdivision type.

Cluster. A cluster residential estates subdivision shall consist of smaller lots that shall be arranged in clusters around agricultural land or common open space, often set aside for agricultural use or to protect a natural feature, preserve open space that is commonly owned and used by the lot owners, or to create a permanent buffer from an adjacent land use. A clustered estate development is characterized by a greater number of lots with smaller lot areas, widths, and setbacks, situated with open areas between, within, and around each lot or a cluster of lots. Access is taken from a street that is internal to the development. Figure 39.02.004.a-1, RE Subdivision Types Examples, provides a visual example of the cluster subdivision type.

Very low density single-family (SF-1).

Purpose. The purpose of this zoning district and subdivision type is to provide for:

Conventional. Neighborhoods of large to moderately sized lots, each with a single-family detached dwelling and access from a street that is internal to the development. A conventional very low-density single-family subdivision is characterized by lots that are smaller than estate with shallower setbacks, curvilinear streets, cul-de-sacs, and open space on individual lots.

Cluster. Clustering of moderately sized lots for single-family detached dwellings with a required percentage of common open space, which may be used for parks and trails, to preserve environmental resources, provide for recreational amenities, provide for use compatibility, provide area-wide drainage, or provide for agricultural activities.

Subdivision types.

Conventional. A conventional very low-density single-family subdivision shall consist of large to moderately sized lots, each with single-family detached dwellings that take access from a street internal to the development. A conventional very low-density single-family subdivision is characterized by lots that are smaller than estate development with shallower setbacks, curvilinear streets, and allowance for cul-de-sacs and open space with views contained on individual lots. Figure 39.02.004.b-1, SF-1 Subdivision Types Examples, provides a visual example of the conventional subdivision type.

Cluster. A cluster very low-density single-familysubdivision shall consist of moderately sized lots with single-family detached dwellings that take access from a street internal to the development. The lots shall be arranged in clusters around common open space, often set aside to protect a natural feature, to preserve parkland or greenway that is commonly owned and used by the lot owners, or to create permanent buffers from adjacent land uses. A cluster very low-density single-family subdivision is characterized by a greater number of lots compared to conventional, with smaller lot areas, widths, and setbacks, situated with open areas between, within, and around each lot or a cluster of lots. Figure 39.02.004.b-1, SF-1Subdivision Types Examples, provides a visual example of the cluster subdivision type.

High density residential (HDR).

Purpose. The purpose of this zoning district and subdivision type is to provide for:

Conventional. Single-family detached, cottage, or garden homes on public utilities with open space provided on private lots.

Village. Mixed housing types, including townhouses, detached single-family garden homes, and low- to mid-rise apartments, located in a planned development or adjacent to a mixed-use district or center. Buildings are typically in close proximity to the street edge. The building mass, height, and scale transition to the neighboring land uses.

Mixed-use. Mid- to high-rise apartment development in a mixed-use district or center. The district consists of detached single-family garden homes, live-work buildings, and other vertically mixed-use buildings. Urban open space may be used for plazas and squares.

Subdivision types.

Conventional. A conventional residential subdivision shall consist of single-family detached dwellings, cottage homes, or garden homes. Any open space is located on private lots.

Village. A village-style high density residential subdivision shall consist of townhouses and apartments with required common open space suitable for an urban setting. Figure 39.02.004.e-1, HDR Subdivision Types Examples, provides a visual example of the village subdivision type.

Mixed-use. A mixed-use high density residential subdivision shall consist of a combination of apartment, townhouse, live-work, and vertically mixed-use buildings, subject to approval of Section 39.07.013, Site Development Plan. Figure 39.02.004.e-1, HDR Subdivision Types Examples, provides a visual example of the mixed-use subdivision type.

§ 39.02.005 Base mixed-use districts.

General mixed-use standards.

Purpose. This Section sets forth standards for the Mixed-Use districts. These districts permit both residential and nonresidential principal uses in the same structure (vertical mixed-use) or on the same lot (horizontal mixed-use).

Applicability.

Generally. The standards in this Subsection apply to all Mixed-Use districts and are in addition to the applicable standards of Article 39.03, Building and Site Design.

Building height and frontage types. In the event of a conflict, the building height requirements and permitted frontage types of the Mixed-Use districts shall control over the building height requirements and permitted frontage types established in Division 3.2 Building Types and Design.

Architecture standards.

Purpose. The purposes of these architecture standards are to:

Ensure that new construction and significant expansions of existing buildings contribute to and improve the visual quality of the City;

ii.

Encourage further investment in the City by reducing the risk of low-quality development on adjacent parcels; and

iii.

Create a more pedestrian-friendly street environment to encourage walking, energy conservation, sustainability, and public health.

Building materials. Where the Historic Preservation Overlay (HPO) district applies in a Mixed-Use district, original building materials shall be retained, maintained, repaired, or uncovered to the maximum extent practicable. New buildings and alterations shall be composed of materials that complement adjacent facades and are compatible with the quality and appearance of traditional materials. Outside of the HPO, these requirements are optional but encouraged.

Entries.

Each principal building shall have one or more operating pedestrian entry doors facing and visible from an adjacent public street. The location of the entry on the building facade shall be emphasized with surrounding architectural recesses, projections, or foundation plantings.

ii.

The primary entrance of every principal building giving access to a principal use of the property shall directly face a street or a public space. Public space may include the open spaces described in Subsection 5, Site Design Standards, below.

iii.

Buildings shall be designed and oriented with an emphasis on the primary street on which they front.

iv.

Buildings located on corner lots shall use design elements that emphasize the importance of both streets.

The primary public entrance shall be prominently located, easily identifiable, relate to the human scale, and contribute to the overall design intent. The primary public entrance shall be at grade or seamlessly integrate required handicap accessibility into the design of the building.

Roof shape.

Original roof forms, profiles, and cornices shall be maintained to the maximum extent practicable.

ii.

When a principal building has a roof surface with a rise of less than two inches to a run of 12 inches, and the principal use of the building is not categorized as Industrial and Manufacturing in Table 39.02.016-1, a parapet shall be constructed along each facade abutting a public street, and the design or height of the parapet shall include at least one change in setback or height of at least two feet along each 100 linear feet of facade or part of a facade.

iii.

In the MU-1 West Broadway district, pitched roofs are required and shall be either hipped or gabled. Roofs shall have a rise of at least four inches to a run of 12 inches. Flat roofs shall be avoided unless the applicant can demonstrate that they are indicative of a particular style that is or was common in the district.

iv.

Single-slope shed roofs, and mansard, vaulted, and exotic roofs such as onion domes are inappropriate since they are styles not common to the architecture of downtown Lubbock.

Infill, addition, and expansion standards.

Average setback. Infill construction, including principal and accessory structures and building additions, shall be designed to be no greater than the average setbacks of buildings from the same use category, as established in Section 39.02.016, Land Use Matrix, on the same block face and the parallel block face to the maximum degree practicable.

Building height. For infill development and expansions, and additions to existing structures, the maximum building heights in Subsections b through g shall not apply. The maximum building height for infill, addition, or expansion shall be that of the average building on the same block and the parallel block face, plus 20 percent of the height. For example, if the average building height on the same block and the parallel block face is 50 feet, then the infill building or the addition or expansion to the existing building may be up to 60 feet in height.

Site design standards.

Purpose. The purpose of these site design standards is to provide multiple amenities that accommodate pedestrian activity.

Open space.

Generally. In order to ensure that a variety of functional, well-designed open spaces are distributed throughout a development, new developments shall have an open space component on-site as defined below in Table 39.02.005.a-1, Public Open Space Standards. Open space may be aggregated on a multi-phase project.

ii.

Applicability. Open space, as described in this Section, shall be required for a new building, expansion, or addition.

iii.

Types. Table 39.02.005.a-1, Public Open Space Standards, shows the public open space types allowed in a Mixed-Use district and their associated standards.

iv.

Categories. Open space includes the following categories:

Public space. Public spaces include open air or unenclosed to semi-unenclosed areas intended for public access and use. These areas range in size and development and serve to complement and connect surrounding land uses. Public space may be publicly- or privately-owned and maintained. (Refer to Table 39.02.005.a-1, Public Open Space Standards)

Private common space. Private common spaces include privately-owned and maintained outdoor, unenclosed, or semi-unenclosed areas located on the ground or on a terrace, deck, porch, or roof. This space is designed and accessible for outdoor gathering, recreation, and landscaping, and is intended for use by the residents, employees, and/or visitors to the development.

Commercial/retail or mixed-use development.

Amount required. All applicable development shall provide four square feet of open space for every 100 square feet of nonresidential space, excluding service areas and parking.

Central open space. At least 50 percent of the required public space shall be within a common, centralized space. The space shall be improved with a focal point such as, but not limited to, a gazebo, public art or sculpture, pavilion, or paved patio area to help identify the park as a primary gathering place for the development.

The central open space shall be accessible by pedestrians, bicycles, and vehicles. Sidewalks in public right-of-way shall be a minimum of six feet wide and contiguous with the property line. Where sidewalks connect to other existing walks, transitions to align with the existing walks must be constructed in conformance with applicable Texas Accessibility Standards.

vi.

Residential development.

Required open spaces.

10 units or less — no requirement.

II.

11 to 50 units — at least one private common space of any type.

III.

51 units and greater — at least three private common spaces of any type.

Open space categories. Permitted residential open spaces include any permitted public space or balconies on no less than two-thirds of all apartment units, forecourts, courtyards, roof terrace, or a pool or other amenity. Open space categories shall display the characteristics listed under the General Character headings in Table 39.02.005.a-1, Public Open Space Standards, and shall meet the requirements under the Location and Size headings.

Streetscape allowances. As emphasized in the Master Plan Update on pages 49–68, the streetscape incorporates multiple elements that define the character of pedestrian space. The width of Lubbock's key corridors varies but incorporating streetscape elements that serve the public shall be prioritized. Standards for many of these elements, such as benches, landscaping, and lighting, follow. Figure 39.02.005.a-2, Streetscape Zones, illustrates a streetscape wide enough to accommodate all four streetscape elements. Where possible, a street shall incorporate the following zones:

Frontage/spill out zone (A in Figure 39.02.005.a-2, Streetscape Zones, below). Where incorporated, the Frontage/Spill Out Zone shall continue the activity from the interior of the building. For instance, a restaurant may utilize the Frontage/Spill Out Zone to incorporate outdoor seating or dining with a Right-of-Way Use License and in accordance with the standards in Section 39.02.021.g, Specific Temporary Use Standards.

ii.

Sidewalk (B in Figure 39.02.005.a-2). Of the four elements, the sidewalk shall be prioritized. The sidewalk shall be a minimum of six feet wide with the edge of the sidewalk nearest to the curb being a minimum of six feet from the curb.

iii.

Amenity zone (C in Figure 39.02.005.a-2). The Amenity Zone shall contain planters, street lights, and other elements and shall be a minimum of six feet wide.

iv.

Flex zone (D in Figure 39.02.005.a-2). The Flex Zone shall be located within the street, rather than the sidewalk, and include parallel parking, activation, plantings, or other amenities.

Figure 39.02.005.a-2 Streetscape Zones

Benches. Benches contribute to a comfortable, useable, and active pedestrian environment. Benches shall adhere to the following standards:

Design the bench to include a horizontal seating surface between 16 and 18 inches high, with a minimum depth of 14 inches.

ii.

When positioned parallel to and near the curb, the bench shall face towards the building. When positioned parallel to and near the building, the bench shall face away from the building.

iii.

Locate the bench to maintain a minimum five-foot clear walkway on the sidewalk.

iv.

Design a bench to be durable and comfortable, minimizing sharp edges or difficult-to-use furniture.

Secure the bench to the paved surface for safety.

Public and private landscape standards.

Purpose. Lubbock has a semi-arid climate with a limited selection of native plant material that can thrive on the small amount of annual rainfall received. Therefore, it is in the best interest of the City to pursue landscaping enhancements that promote water conservation.

Scope. The public landscape standards of this Subsection apply to all public rights-of-way in the Mixed-Use districts.

Public landscape and irrigation plan. When a developer initiates a project in a Mixed-Use district, he or she shall submit a public landscape and irrigation plan as part of a building permit request.

General requirements.

Amount.

A minimum of 90 percent of the required front yard shall be landscaped and permanently maintained.

The area between the property line and the street shall be landscaped and permanently maintained.

The following are exceptions to the requirements in Subsections a. and b. above:

Paved curb returns, driveways, and interior courtyards shall not be included in any required landscaping; a

II.

Buildings with zero front and side setback shall not be required to have any on-site landscaping except for parking area landscaping where parking is either required or voluntarily provided; and

III.

Buildings with front and side setbacks less than 10 feet may use plazas, widened sidewalks, or outdoor dining to meet landscape requirements.

ii.

Utilities. Coordination of any landscaping shall be done so as to not interfere with existing utilities or those utilities required with the project.

iii.

Hardscape materials. Required landscaping on the site may incorporate no more than 10 percent hard surface materials within the landscaping. Hard surface materials shall include stone and modular pavers. Landscaping shall not include the use of smooth, patterned, colored, or aggregate poured-in-place concrete or asphalt. Alternative materials will be reviewed and approved by the Director of Planning.

iv.

All plant material shall be irrigated. Permanent, automatic irrigation systems shall be installed and tested prior to the installation of any plant material. Irrigation systems shall utilize drip irrigation, subsurface irrigation, or other water-conserving methods or technologies where possible.

Irrigation shall be maintained and paid for by the landowner.

Irrigation systems are prohibited in the public right-of-way.

Species Diversity. A balance of shrubs, ornamental grasses, and ground cover is required. Within each category of required landscaping (i.e., shrubs, groundcover, and ornamental grasses) a maximum of 50 percent of plantings shall be of any one genus and a maximum of 25 percent shall be of any one species. Climate-adapted plant species shall predominate for hardiness in urban conditions and to minimize maintenance.

vi.

Groupings. Shrubs, ornamental grasses, and ground covers of the same species shall be massed in groupings. Individual plants shall only be planted when the intent is to highlight the species due to its unique color or form. Plantings with similar watering patterns shall be grouped within the proper irrigation zones.

vii.

Color. The use of flowering or brightly colored foliage creates color and interest. Seasonal color is encouraged as an accent to permanent bed plantings.

viii.

Raised planters. The use of raised planters is highly encouraged to make plantings visible and easier to maintain where foot traffic is dense, or parkway width is limited. Planting beds shall be dressed with a minimum of one and one-half inches of "Jog Blend" limestone screenings mulch, or equivalent, or as pre-approved by the Director of Planning.

ix.

Natural turf. Natural, living turf shall only be used in low-density residential parkways, single-family yards, public parks, and open spaces exceeding 400 square feet.

Visibility triangle. Landscaping shall comply with the visibility triangle standards in Section 39.02.023, Measurements, of this UDC.

Street planting standards.

Purpose. Potted plants and planters, as recommended in this Subsection, are inviting and help define major gateways and corridors in the Mixed-Use districts. They soften the edges where buildings meet the street, offer shade to pedestrians, and help cool the pedestrian environment.

General requirements. The following general street landscaping standards are recommended for all streets or adjacent properties undergoing improvements in the Downtown.

Raised planters and planter pots should be used in the streetlandscaping plan downtown in order to open up the sidewalks.

ii.

Planter pots provide an opportunity to incorporate colorful plantings along a streetscape. They should be sized to provide a sufficient quality and quantity of soil for plant growth.

Planters and pots should have minimum dimensions of 18 inches wide by 18 inches deep.

Planters and pots should be made from formed concrete, with a minimum thickness of 3/8 inches. Planters made of other materials such as galvanized and polyester powder-coated steel may be approved by the Director of Planning.

Planters and pots should be located a minimum of 18 inches from the sidewalk curb and within the Amenity Zone, as illustrated in Figure 39.02.005.a-2, Streetscape Zones. Planter pots may also be located near a building entry, but should maintain a minimum five-foot walkway on the sidewalk.

Planters and pots should not block other street elements such as signs or streetlights.

Planters may incorporate seating. These should be designed with a minimum eight-inch rim with a height between 12 and 20 inches. Plants should be planted so their location does not interfere with the seat.

Plant materials in the right-of-way should not exceed two feet in height.

Parking standards.

Purpose. The purpose of these parking standards is to create a balance between pedestrian-oriented development and necessary car storage, when provided.

Parking access.

All parking shall be accessed from rear alleys where they exist and/or from side streets if the lot is located on a corner, as depicted in Figure 39.02.005.a-4, Parking Access Configurations. If no rear alley or side street exists, then the applicant is encouraged to gain access across neighboring properties or through a shared driveway or through a recorded cross-access easement.

ii.

Where access to rear parking takes place directly from the primary street, driveways shall be located along the sides of the property lines, as depicted in Figure 39.02.005.a-4, Parking Access Configurations, and designed such that pedestrians crossing on sidewalks always have the right-of-way.

iii.

Vehicular entrances to parking lots, garages, and parking structures shall be no wider than 30 feet on the front street.

Figure 39.02.005.a-4 Parking Access Configurations

Parking buffering.

Open parking areas shall be masked from the frontage by a building or screening.

ii.

Where parking cannot be placed to the rear of the main building, the parking areas shall be screened in accordance with the requirements of Section 39.03.009, Parking Ratios and Design. The required screening shall be architecturally compatible with the primary structure. The area between the screening and property line shall be landscaped.

iii.

Parking structures on primary streets shall have a Liner building. See Section 39.03.005k, Liner, for further requirements.

Lighting standards.

Purpose. The purpose of these lighting standards is to provide adequate and quality lighting of the sidewalk and street area, which is essential to creating a safe and inviting streetscape, and to provide a unique identity for the area.

General requirements. In addition to the requirements of Division 3.6, Outdoor Lighting, the following standards shall apply.

The following two types of light poles may be installed in the public right-of-way:

A medium pedestrian-scaled light pole that is a maximum of 15 feet in height; and

A tall vehicular-scaled light pole that is a maximum of 40 feet in height, as depicted in Figure 39.02.005.a-5, Types of Street Lighting.

ii.

A combination of these two types of light poles may be required to ensure a well-lit street area and to establish a unifying element along the street.

iii.

Decorative streetlights shall be used on key corridors:

Broadway;

Buddy Holly Avenue South of Broadway; and

Avenue J North of Broadway.

iv.

All other corridors not mentioned above shall use the standard Lubbock Power & Light streetlight.

Pedestrian-scaled light poles shall be used on primary streets, except alleys. Vehicular-scaled lighting shall be used on all streets at every intersection, with one additional light at mid-block where necessary.

Figure 39.02.005.a-5 Types of Street Lighting

vi.

Streetlights shall be aligned with planter pots (generally between two and a half feet and four feet from the back of the curb). Placement of fictures [fixtures] shall be coordinated with the organization of sidewalks, landscaping, building entries, curb cuts, signage, etc. Pedestrian lighting shall be spaced evenly along the block in relationship to each other and to the street centerline. Across-the-street relationships shall also be considered, as well as spacing to provide illumination at alley intersections and mid-block.

vii.

Shopfront business owners may assist with lighting the sidewalk and to accent their business location by leaving display window and interior lighting on at night.

viii.

Lighting shall be designed in such a way as to prevent the direct view of the light source from neighboring residential areas.

ix.

Light poles may include armature that allows for the hanging of banners or other amenities (e.g., hanging flower baskets, artwork, etc.).

Pedestrian-scaled light poles shall be used to illuminate walkways, building entries, and public plazas.

xi.

To increase safety, help geographic orientation, and highlight the identity of an area, the following street elements shall be lit:

Edges of a park or plaza to define and identify the space;

Entrances, archways, cornices, columns, and other architectural details; and

Other public art and towers, especially those visible to pedestrians and vehicles.

xii.

Pedestrian light feeds shall be separate from vehicular street light feeds.

Vehicular streetlights are un-metered facilities maintained by Lubbock Power and Light (LP&L) within City limits.

Pedestrian lights are metered facilities maintained by the local Public Improvement District (PID) or other funding entity.

Pedestrian lighting required. Pedestrian lighting is required on primary streets and for any development encompassing a full block face or more and may be installed for smaller projects if approved in the landscape plan review.

Pedestrian lighting shall be between 0.5 and 1.0 footcandle.

ii.

Pedestrian lighting shall be a minimum of eight feet tall and maximum of 15 feet tall.

Pedestrian and vehicular lighting spacing.

Vehicular lighting shall be placed at every intersection with additional lights the greater of at least one per mid-block or one per every 125 feet of continuous block length along each block face. Vehicular lighting at intersections shall include two lights per intersection on diagonally opposing corners. Preferably, all vehicular lights shall be on the southwest and northeast corners of intersections. Each block face shall include a minimum of two vehicular lights; one light at an intersection and one light near mid-block. Where obstructions at these locations exist, a plan review shall be coordinated with the City.

ii.

Pedestrian lighting shall be spaced every 60 feet on center along each side of a block. The dimension of 60 feet is derived from the historic block dimension of most Downtown blocks being 270 linear feet. One pedestrian light per every 60 feet allows for five pedestrian or vehicular lights per the historic 270 feet of each block face. Where vehicular lights are required, they may be substituted for a pedestrian light. Where blocks have been consolidated, this spacing shall be maintained as best possible to tie to the spacing throughout the Mixed-Use districts.

Lighting specifications. Lighting fixtures shall be appropriately chosen for the district within which they are located, so that variety in character establishes identity and uniqueness, and consistency within each district creates a unifying scheme of illumination that is appropriate to the scale of the street and the level of nighttime activity. Lamp styles shall not be mixed along any one particular block of a street.

Generally.

Light fixtures shall be downcast or low cut-off fixtures as defined by the Illuminating Engineering Society of North America (IES) to prevent glare and light pollution.

In order to conserve energy and reduce long-term costs, energy-efficient lamps shall be used for all public realm lighting.

Civic Center (MU-5).

Example of local large civic complex-Lubbock Memorial Civic Center

Overview.

The MU-5 Civic Center district is the civic center for Lubbock, situated north of the urban core along Broadway Street. This district is dedicated to serving a public function and to preserving and enhancing the public well-being. This area may contain passive or active civic and institutional uses dedicated to arts, culture, education (including public and private schools and colleges), recreation, government, transit, and municipal parking. It is difficult to determine beforehand the multiplicity of potential uses that may occupy these civic spaces over time. Therefore, greater design flexibility shall be given to these sites. This zone supports large scale developments such as performing arts and civic complexes. The design and construction of civic buildings shall reflect the importance of these buildings within the community and with their function as landmarks in mind. Civic buildings may include but are not limited to, municipal buildings, religious facilities, libraries, schools, recreation facilities, and places of assembly.

§ 39.02.009 Historic Preservation Overlay (HPO).

Purpose.

In addition to the purpose of this district established in Section 39.02.003, Zoning District Establishment, the purposes of the Historic Preservation Overlay (HPO) district are to:

History. Protect, enhance, and perpetuate historic landmarks and areas that represent or reflect distinctive and important elements of the City's and State's architecture, landscape architecture, archeology, culture, social, economic, ethnic, and political history, and to develop appropriate settings for such places;

Heritage. Safeguard the City's historic and cultural heritage, as embodied and reflected in such historic landmarks by appropriate regulations;

Property values. Stabilize and improve property values in such locations;

Civic pride. Foster civic pride in the beauty and accomplishments of the past;

Tourism. Protect and enhance the City's attractions to tourists and visitors and provide incidental support and stimulus to business and industry;

Economy. Strengthen the economy of the City;

Utilization of districts. Promote the use of historic landmarks and historic preservation districts for the culture, prosperity, education, and general welfare of the citizens and visitors to the City;

Education. Provide educational opportunities to increase public appreciation of the City's unique heritage.

Applicability.

The regulations of this Section apply to historic landmarks and all properties or structures wholly or partially contained within an HPO district.

Zoning designation.

The HPO district is applied to property in conjunction with a base zoning district.

Certificates of appropriateness required.

Required. Approval in accordance with Section 39.07.035, Certificate of Appropriateness, is required to alter, change, restore, remove, reconstruct, or demolish any exterior architectural feature of a contributing building in an HPO district or that is designated as a historic landmark, or to construct a new building in the HPO.

Exemption. Ordinary repair or maintenance that does not involve changes in architectural and historical value, style, or general design are exempt from requiring a Certificate of Appropriateness, as determined by the Director of Planning.

General standards.

Generally. The following standards shall apply, as applicable, to work requiring a Certificate of Appropriateness in an HPO district or for a historic landmark.

Drive-in and drive-through uses. Drive-in and drive-through facilities are prohibited after the effective date of this UDC.

Reuse. Every reasonable effort shall be made to provide a compatible use for a property that requires minimal alteration of the contributing building, structure, or site and its environment, or to use a property for its originally intended purpose.

Original character. The distinguishing original architectural features or character of a contributing building, structure, or site and its environment shall be maintained. The removal or alteration of any historic material or distinctive architectural feature shall be avoided to the maximum extent feasible.

Anachronisms. All contributing buildings, structures, and sites shall be recognized as products of their own time. Alterations that have no historic basis or that seek to create an earlier appearance shall be discouraged.

Style and craftsmanship. The retention of distinctive stylistic features or examples of skilled craftsmanship that characterize a contributing building, structure, or site shall be encouraged.

Repair and replacement. Generally, deteriorated architectural features shall be repaired rather than replaced to the maximum extent practicable. In the event replacement is necessary, the new material should match the material being replaced in composition, design, color, texture, and other visual qualities. Repair or replacement of missing architectural features shall be based on accurate duplications of features, substantiated by historic physical or pictorial evidence rather than on conjectural designs or the availability of different architectural elements from other contributing buildings or structures. See Subsection f., Exterior Rehabilitation Standards, below.

Cleaning. The surface cleaning of structures shall be undertaken with the gentlest effective means possible. Sandblasting and other cleaning methods that will damage the historic building material shall not be undertaken without approval from the Urban Design and Historic Preservation Commission.

Archeological resources. Every reasonable effort shall be made to protect and preserve archeological resources affected by or adjacent to any project.

10.

Contemporary design. Contemporary design for alterations and additions to existing properties shall not be discouraged when such alterations and additions do not destroy significant historic, architectural, or cultural material and when such design is compatible with the size, scale, color, and material character of the property, neighborhood, or environment. Wherever possible, new additions or alterations to a structure shall be done in such a manner that if such additions or alterations were to be removed in the future, the essential form and integrity of the structure would be unimpaired.

Exterior rehabilitation standards.

In addition to the requirements of the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation in 36 CFR 67.7, the Urban Design and Historic Preservation Commission shall consider these standards when taking action on a Certificate of Appropriateness for exterior rehabilitation of a contributing building within an HPO district.

Foundations.

Doors and windows. The size and shape of the original door and window openings in the foundation shall be maintained.

Materials. Any repair or new construction shall match, to the maximum extent practicable, the original materials in size, color, texture, composition, and joint profile.

Paint. Masonry or concrete foundations shall not be painted or covered with cement plaster or stucco.

Masonry.

Color. Any repair, restoration, or new construction shall match, to the maximum extent practicable, the color of the original masonry and mortar.

Paint. Historic masonry shall not be painted.

Removal. Masonry features that are essential to the historic character of a contributing building and are structurally sound shall not be removed or significantly changed.

Architectural metals. Architectural metal features that are in a condition that may be restored shall be retained and preserved, to the maximum extent practicable.

Doorways and windows.

Repair or replacement. The repair or replacement of deteriorated doorways or windows shall match, to the maximum extent practicable, the size and appearance of the original doorways and windows.

Removal. Original doorway and window openings shall not be removed or sealed off.

Storefronts.

Materials. Non-historic materials (e.g., siding) shall not be used to cover or conceal the original historic materials.

Design. Storefronts shall be rehabilitated using a palette of kickplates, piers, columns, pilasters, and/or trim to frame display windows.

Transparency. Facades at street level shall have large window openings that comprise a minimum of 50 percent of the first floor wall area if not contrary to the original design of the contributing building.

Doors and entries. Doors and entryways shall be designed as an integral part of the storefront system.

Signs.

Generally. The types, sizes, and locations of signs shall comply with the standards set forth in Division 3.5, Signs.

Visibility. Signs shall not obscure any architectural features on historic contributing buildings.

Billboards prohibited. There shall be no billboards.

Awnings. All awnings shall:

Placement. Not obscure original architectural features, such as a transom.

Installation. Not damage original architectural features through the installation of the awning.

Extension. Extend no more than seven feet from the contributing building facade;

Illumination. Only be illuminated by indirect lighting;

Color. Be compatible with the overall color scheme of the facade from which it projects; and

Encroachment. Not encroach to within two feet of a curb line.

Fire exits. Fire exits shall not be installed on a front contributing building facade, unless there is no technically feasible alternative for compliance with building and fire codes.

Additions standards.

The Urban Design and Historic Preservation Commission shall consider the standards of this Section when taking action on a Certificate of Appropriateness for additions to a contributing building within an HPO district.

Contributing building additions. Additions shall:

Compatibility. Be wholly compatible with, yet distinguishable from, the contributing building in terms of the building materials, color(s), and the mass and proportion of windows and doors.

Location. Only be located on the side or rear elevations, and shall be set back from the front facade of the contributing building to maintain the original wall plane.

Scale. Be subordinate to the contributing principal building relative to its size and scale. Locate an addition that is taller than the historic structure to the rear of the contributing building.

Mass and form. Utilize a simple form that does not draw attention away from the contributing building.

Connector. Incorporate a connector, where feasible, to separate an addition from the contributing building.

Foundation and floor height. Match the foundation and floor height of the contributing building.

Architectural elements. Incorporate simplified versions of building components to differentiate the addition from the original building.

Roof form. Design the roof pitch of the addition to be similar to that of the contributing building.

Building material. Utilize a building material and finish that is similar, but visually subordinate, to those of the original contributing building. Refer to Table 39.02.009-1 and Table 39.02.009-2 for more information.

Accessibility additions. Incorporate an accessibility solution that does not permanently alter the original features of the contributing building.

Locate the accessibility solution on the side or rear facade of the contributing building.

ii.

Install the accessibility solution to avoid disturbing character-defining features.

iii.

Consider a solution that can be reversed, if needed.

New construction standards.

The Urban Design and Historic Preservation Committee shall consider the standards of this Section when taking action on a Certificate of Appropriateness for new construction within an HPO district.

Building placement.

Location. Maintain the setback pattern established by contributing historic buildings in the HPO. Where there is a range of setbacks, locate the front wall of the building within that range.

Orientation. Maintain the traditional orientation of a new building.

Site preservation. Locate a new building to retain the overall historic character of the site including the topography, natural features, trees, and significant views.

Mass and scale.

Building height. Buildings shall not exceed 115 percent or be less than 85 percent of the average height of the buildings on the two nearest developed lots or buildings on either side of the subject lot or building. A greater variation requires approval by the Urban Design and Historic Preservation Commission.

Roof lines. Roof lines of each building shall be individually distinguishable with variations of height of no less than two feet. Roofs shall relate to the articulations of the buildingfacades.

Front wall width. The front wall of the new building shall be a similar width to that of the adjacent contributing buildings to the HPO. Where the adjacent buildings are not contributing structures, the width shall be similar to that of contributing buildings in the context of the block.

Building articulation.

Wall offsets. Where a new building is deeper or wider than an adjacent contributing building, a wall offset at least four feet in depth shall be incorporated to reduce the overall perceived mass of the new building and to better relate to the historic context.

Height location. Where a new building incorporates a section taller than the adjacent historic buildings, the taller portion of the building shall be located away from the neighboring historic building to reduce the looming effect.

Architectural features.

Doorways. The front door shall be positioned to continue the rhythm of historic front doors along the street, where the rhythm is a defining feature of the block and/or HPO.

Window ratio. The placement of windows shall be designed to reflect the solid to void ratio on contributing historic structures in the HPO.

Window depth. Windows shall create depth and shadow on the facade.

Colors. Colors shall be reviewed for their historic context for which the following may be considered:

Bright colors. Facade colors shall be non-reflective and subtle. The use of primary, high intensity or fluorescent colors is prohibited, other than for the sign face.

Metallic colors. Except for copper and silver metallic-colored roofs, metallic colors are prohibited on any facade or roof.

Permitted materials.

§ 39.02.011 Community Infill Overlay (CIO).

Applicability.

The regulations of this Section apply to all properties or structures wholly or partially contained within a Community Infill Overlay (CIO) district.

Zoning designation.

The CIO district may be applied to a single lot or a set of lots in conjunction with an HDR, NC, OF, or AC base zoning district.

Permitted uses.

In addition to the uses listed in Table 39.02.016-1, Permitted Uses by District, for each base zoning district within which the CIO overlay district is applied, the following uses shall be allowed by right:

Residential uses. All residential uses permitted in the HDR, NC, OF, or AC base zoning districts, except single-family detached dwelling, duplex, or manufactured home park.

Nonresidential uses.

In the NC, OF, and AC base zoning districts, all permitted nonresidential uses in Table 39.02.016-1, Permitted Uses by District, are permitted.

In the HDR base zoning district, in addition to the permitted nonresidential uses in Table 39.02.016-1, Permitted Uses by District, the following uses are permitted by right:

Adult care center;

ii.

Home furnishing store;

iii.

Veterinary Clinic and/or Service, Large Animal; and

iv.

Veterinary Clinic and/or Service, Small Animal.

Lot density, intensity, and dimensions.

Residential and mixed-use. Lot density and dimensional requirements for multiplexes, townhouses, live-work, and mixed-use shall comply with Section 39.02.004e, High Density Residential (HDR), except that the minimum lot area shall be 700 square feet per unit, and the minimum common open space shall be 10 percent.

Nonresidential. Lot intensity and dimensional requirements for nonresidential developments shall comply with Section 39.02.006a, Neighborhood Commercial (NC), except that the minimum lot area shall be 5,000 square feet, the minimum lot width shall be 50 feet, and the minimum landscape surface ratio shall be 10 percent.

Contextual standards.

Residential. The requirements and allowances of Section 39.02.024d, Residential Infill Compatibility, shall apply except as modified in this Subsection.

Front and side street setbacks.

The front setback of a property in the CIO district shall be greater than or equal to the average of the front setbacks that exist on the lots that are adjacent to or on the same block face as the subject property, whichever results in a lesser required setback. For example, if lots immediately adjacent to the infill property have 14-foot and 18-foot setbacks from the front property line (an average of 16 feet) and the average for the entire block face is 15 feet, the minimum front setback for the infill property is 15 feet.

If the CIO property is a corner lot, the side street setback shall be greater than or equal to the average of the front setbacks that exist on the adjacent lot or of the front setbacks on the same block face as the side street of the subject property, whichever results in the more minimal required setback.

If a vacant lot shares a common property line with the CIO property, for purposes of computing a setback average, the setback on the vacantadjacent property shall be 85 percent of the minimum required setback for the district in which the lot is located.

Height. Any new, expanded, or reconstructed buildings, or adaptively reused buildings, shall have a height that does not exceed 115 percent of the average building heights on the two nearest developed lots on both sides of the CIO property.

If a CIO property is adjacent to a corner lot fronting on the same street, the average height shall include the building on the corner lot and the buildings on the nearest two developed lots on both sides of the CIO property.

Lots separated by a public street right-of-way may not be used in computing the average.

Bufferyard. When a new structure is proposed in this overlay district adjacent to an RE, SF-1, SF-2, or MDR district, on either side or to the rear, a Type A Bufferyard in accordance with Section 39.03.016, Bufferyard Landscaping, shall be provided. This requirement shall not apply to the reuse of an existing building.

Outside activities. When proposed development in this overlay district is adjacent to an RE, SF-1, SF-2, or MDR district, on either side or to the rear, all business shall be conducted entirely within the building. Outside storage and/or display of any type shall be prohibited.

Parking.

§ 39.02.012 Planned Unit Development District (PUD).

Purpose.

In addition to the purpose of this district established in Section 39.02.003, Zoning District Establishment, the purposes of the Planned Unit Development District (PUD) district are:

Regulatory flexibility. It is intended to permit regulatory flexibility to:

Achieve development that is in accordance with the City's Comprehensive Plan;

Achieve economy and efficiency in the use of land, natural resources, energy, and in the provision of public services and utilities;

Protect and preserve natural resources and natural features;

Encourage the creation of useful open space particularly suited to the proposed development and the parcel on which it is located; and

Provide appropriate development to satisfy the needs of residents of the City of Lubbock.

Land use compatibility. It is further intended that development permitted pursuant to this Section be laid out so that proposed uses, buildings, and site improvements relate to each other and to adjoining existing uses and to the public realm in such a way that they will be compatible, with no material adverse impact of one use on another.

Redevelopment. It is further intended that these regulations bring about reuse and/or redevelopment of sites where an orderly change of use is determined to be desirable, especially where reuse is restricted because of existing nonconformities, physical development, or the constraints of conventional zoning standards.

Purpose not intended. The PUD District shall not be used for the sole purpose of circumventing the zoning regulations, securing an agreement between an applicant and nearby property owners to receive zoning approval, nor to assign responsibility to the City for private deed covenants or restrictions.

Applicability.

Generally. Consideration of a proposed development pursuant to this Section may occur only if the proposed development site is at least two acres in total area where located within the area enclosed by Loop 289 and at least seven acres elsewhere.

Land area reduction. However, in the interest of making use of the PUD as a tool to implement the Comprehensive Plan, the City Council, upon recommendation from the Planning and Zoning Commission, may permit a 50 percent reduction in these minimum area requirements if:

The project has unique characteristics and benefits; or

The parcel in question has unique characteristics that significantly impact development, such as, for example, unusual shape or proportions, unusual topography, or potentially incompatible land uses on surrounding property.

Zoning designation.

The PUD district is applied to property in conjunction with a base zoning district.

Permitted uses.

A PUD development may contain any uses or combination of uses that are listed as Permitted Uses, Limited Uses, or Specific Uses in compatible zoning districts in Table 39.02.016-1, Permitted Uses by District, provided that the proposed uses are listed on the approved concept plan and the proposed uses satisfy the following criteria:

Compatibility of uses. Uses within the PUD shall be compatible with one another and with adjacent uses, as determined by generally accepted planning principles. Problems with compatibility of uses shall be mitigated through appropriate site design and usage of development standards beyond minimums, such as extended buffer yards, berms, landscaping, screening fences, building design (form, massing, architectural design, and materials), or other suitable methods;

Harmonious relationship. There shall be a reasonably harmonious relationship between the location of buildings and uses on the site relative to buildings and uses on lands in the surrounding area; and

Combination of residential and nonresidential uses. Residential and nonresidential uses may be permitted together on the same site in a PUD development, provided that the residential and nonresidential uses are carefully integrated in a manner that is consistent with established site design and planning principles so as to create a sustainable overall development.

Development standards.

Generally. The following design standards shall be used as a guide for the design of PUD developments to ensure that the physical and operational characteristics of proposed buildings and uses are compatible when considered in the context of the surrounding area.

Modification of standards.

Modifications to these standards may be approved by the City Council in conjunction with approval of the concept plan, upon receiving an advisory recommendation from the Planning and Zoning Commission, and upon making the determination that other standards would be more appropriate because of the particular design and orientation of buildings and uses, provided that any such modified standards shall be consistent with the purpose of the PUD provisions as stated in Subsection a., above.

Design and zoning standards modifications approved in conjunction with the approval of a PUD concept plan shall not require approval of the Zoning Board of Adjustment.

Setbacks.

Generally. PUD developments shall comply with the minimum setback requirements list in Table 39.02.012-1, PUD Minimum Building Setbacks.

Setback reduction. A smaller setback with a build-to line may be approved upon review of the concept plan in the interest of establishing a consistent relationship of the buildings to the street and sidewalk, so as to form a visually continuous pedestrian-oriented street front.

Table 39.02.012-1 PUD Minimum Building Setbacks
Setback Location	Minimum Setback
Along perimeter of PUD project, adjacent to public road	30 ft.
Along perimeter of PUD project, not adjacent to public road	20 ft.
Along internal road or driveway	Minimum setbacks within the development shall be based on established planning and design principles, taking into account the degree of compatibility between adjoining uses, compatibility between uses and roads and drives, sensitivity to the characteristics of the site, the need for free access for emergency vehicles, compliance with building and fire codes, the need for adequate amounts of light and air between buildings, and the need for proper amounts of open space.
Setback between buildings within PUD project

Height. Buildings and structures may be approved to be taller than the maximum height allowed in the base zoning district set forth in Division 2.2, Zoning Districts and Standards, upon making the following determinations:

Light and shadow. Buildings or structures taller than 40 feet shall be designed to not have an unreasonable adverse impact on adjacent property as a result of the shadows that are cast or glare created from reflected or artificial light;

Privacy. Buildings or structures taller than 40 feet shall be designed to avoid infringing on the privacy of adjacent public and private property, particularly adjacent residential areas; and

Scale of development. Buildings or structures taller than 40 feet shall be compatible with the scale of the neighborhood or area in which they are situated in terms of relative height, height to mass, and building or structure scale to human scale.

Parking and loading.

Generally. Parking and loading facilities in PUD developments shall comply with the standards for the base zoning district set forth in Division 3.3, Parking, Loading, Stacking, and Access.

Modification and reduction of required parking.

The minimum number of parking spaces required may be modified based on evidence that other standards would be more reasonable because of the level of current or future employment, the level of current or future customer traffic, shared parking by uses that have peak parking demands that do not overlap, and other considerations.

ii.

A decision to reduce the number of parking spaces shall be based on technical information provided by a qualified planning, parking, or traffic consultant that verifies that the reduction will not impair the functioning of the developments served or have an adverse impact on traffic flow on or adjacent to the development.

Access and circulation. The vehicular and pedestrian circulation system within each development shall safely and conveniently accommodate the movement of vehicles, bicycles, and pedestrians throughout the proposed development and to and from surrounding areas.

Landscaping.

Generally. Landscaping shall comply with the requirements of the base zoning district as detailed in Division 3.4 Trees, Landscaping, and Buffering, and a detailed landscape plan shall be included with the submittal for approval.

Modification of landscaping. The landscaping requirements may be modified with respect to design, but not in regard to the total landscaping percentage, provision of live plant material, or the need for irrigation. Deviations to requirements must be based on evidence that other standards would be more reasonable or desirable due to the inherent design of the PUD Development, the benefit that would accrue to the end-user, as well as other considerations.

Open space. PUDs with a residential component shall provide usable open space that is accessible to all residents of the development. Such usable open space shall not consist of required yard areas or stormwater retention or detention ponds (except as identified in Subsection E., below) and shall be identified on the concept and detail plans. The amount, location, shape, and other characteristics of open space within a development shall be based on established planning and design principles, taking into account the following considerations:

The types and arrangement of uses on the site;

The proposed uses of the open space and types of improvements proposed within the open space;

The extent to which the leisure and recreation needs of all segments of the population residing in the development would be accommodated;

The manner in which the open space is integrated into the overall design of the development; and

Up to 50 percent of the surface area of stormwater management ponds, as determined by the City Engineer, may qualify as open space if the following conditions are met:

All stormwater management ponds shall be integrated into the overall development and shall serve as a visual and physical amenity to the site. A visual and physical amenity is easily accessible to pedestrians and/or non-motorized vehicles and is visually attractive.

ii.

The maximum slope of stormwater management ponds in a PUD shall be 1:7.

iii.

Fences around stormwater management ponds are not permitted.

iv.

All stormwater management ponds shall have a natural appearance, and shall be round, oval, or kidney in shape with irregular edges.

Recreation facilities such as walking paths shall be provided near and/or around stormwater management ponds to allow users of the site to use and enjoy the ponds as an amenity.

Signs.

Generally. Signage for each site and building within the PUD Development shall comply with Division 3.5, Signs.

Deviation from sign standards.

Deviations from the provisions of Division 3.5, Signs, other than prohibited signs and billboards, may be considered where a Master Sign Plan, in accordance with Section 39.07.024, Sign Permit and Master Sign Plan.

ii.

The master sign plan shall be prepared by a licensed architect, landscape architect, or sign consultant and shall contain a site plan with all proposed signs keyed to elevations of the individual signs that are fully dimensioned, and further keyed to a sign list in tabular format with individual and cumulative sign areas, in square feet, included thereon.

10.

Additional considerations.

Generally. In their review of a proposed PUD development, the Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council may review other considerations that are found to be relevant to a particular project, including, but not necessarily limited to, road capacity, capacity and design of utility systems, achievement of an integrated development with respect to signage, lighting, landscaping, and building materials, and the extent to which noise reduction and visual screening are used, particularly in cases where nonresidential uses adjoin residential uses. When reviewing any such additional considerations, the Staff, Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council may refer to applicable standards in this UDC.

Waiver not authorized. While it is the intent of this Section that the City Council be empowered with the ability to exercise flexibility in the application of regulations where deemed appropriate, it is not the intent of this Section to authorize a waiver or lessening of design or construction standards otherwise prescribed for any public infrastructure proposed or required within a PUD project.

Dead trees and plant materials. Dead trees and plant material must be removed from the property and the adjoining parkway.

National register designation.

Although the National Register designation does not have a direct effect on zoning, the historic architectural elements identified in the nomination are an excellent guide for this zone case. In addition, staff and commissions reviewing new construction, alterations and additions under the standards of this section shall use The [U.S.] Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation (36 CFR 67) as a guide in decision making (Attachment B). All requirements of the respective underlying zone district shall apply.

The Secretary of the Interior's standards for rehabilitation.

The Standards (Department of Interior regulations, 36 CFR 67) pertain to historic buildings of all materials, construction types, sizes, and occupancy and encompass the exterior and the interior, related landscape features and the building's site and environment as well as attached, adjacent, or related new construction. The Standards are to be applied to specific rehabilitation projects in a reasonable manner, taking into consideration economic and technical feasibility.

A property shall be used for its historic purpose or be placed in a new use that requires minimal change to the defining characteristics of the building and its site and environment.

The historic character of a property shall be retained and preserved. The removal of historic materials or alteration of features and spaces that characterize a property shall be avoided.

Each property shall be recognized as a physical record of its time, place, and use. Changes that create a false sense of historical development, such as adding conjectural features or architectural elements from other buildings, shall not be undertaken.

Most properties change over time; those changes that have acquired historic significance in their own right shall be retained and preserved.

Distinctive features, finishes, and construction techniques or examples of craftsmanship that characterize a property shall be preserved.

Deteriorated historic features shall be repaired rather than replaced. Where the severity of deterioration requires replacement of a distinctive feature, the new feature shall match the old in design, color, texture, and other visual qualities and, where possible, materials. Replacement of missing features shall be substantiated by documentary, physical, or pictorial evidence.

Chemical or physical treatments, such as sandblasting, that cause damage to historic materials shall not be used. The surface cleaning of structures, if appropriate, shall be undertaken using the gentlest means possible.

Significant archeological resources affected by a project shall be protected and preserved. If such resources must be disturbed, mitigation measures shall be undertaken.

10.

New additions, exterior alterations, or related new construction shall not destroy historic materials that characterize the property. The new work shall be differentiated from the old and shall be compatible with the massing, size, scale, and architectural features to protect the historic integrity of the property and its environment.

11.

New additions and adjacent or related new construction shall be undertaken in such a manner that if removed in the future, the essential form and integrity of the historic property and its environment would be unimpaired.

12.

Plan review process and procedures.

Persons building, adding to, making structural alterations or structural repairs to, or roofing residences in the SOO shall follow the site development plan review procedures as set out in Article 39.07, Development Review Procedures, along with the following:

If the Director of Planning or a designated representative determines the proposal contains unique circumstances which cannot be accommodated by the Zoning Ordinance and the Design and Development Regulations, South Overton National Register Historic District, the plans will be placed on the next available agenda of the Urban Design and Historic Preservation Commission for recommendations. The commission shall use the zoning ordinance and the design standards to determine whether the development meets the intent of each document. Factors to be considered by the commission in making their recommendation and attaching conditions include: the extent to which the proposal differs from the design standards or the standards of the ordinance, the impact of these modifications on the existing and future development in the area, and the public purpose to be served by permitting the requested modifications.

Upon recommendation by the Urban Design and Historic Preservation Commission, the Director of Planning may vary the requirements of the design standards so long as the requirements of the base zoning district of the property are not altered. Variances from the requirements of the base zoning district, even if recommended by the Urban Design and Historic Preservation Commission must be approved by the Zoning Board of Adjustment. All recommendations by the Urban Design and Historic Preservation Commission must be provided in writing to the applicant and to the Zoning Board of Adjustment.

(Ordinance 2023-O0054 adopted 5/9/2023)

§ 39.02.014 Reduction Overlay (RO).

Purpose.

The purpose of the Reduction Overlay District (ROD) is to allow development that deviates from the standards of the underlying base zoning district, by reducing or restricting these standards and removing permitted or accessory uses. It also provides regulatory flexibility in the following manner:

Regulatory flexibility. It is intended to permit regulatory flexibility to:

Achieve development that is in accordance with the City's Comprehensive Plan;

Achieve economy and efficiency in the use of land, natural resources, energy, and in the provision of public services and utilities; and/or

Provide appropriate development to satisfy the needs of residents of the City of Lubbock.

Land use compatibility. It is further intended that development permitted pursuant to this Section allow uses, buildings, and site improvements to relate to each other and to adjoining existing uses and to the public realm in such a way that they will be compatible.

Purpose not intended. The Reduction Overlay shall not be used for the sole purpose of securing an agreement between an applicant and the City to receive zoning approval.

Applicability.

Land area reduction. However, in the interest of making use of the Reduction Overlay as a tool to implement the Comprehensive Plan, the City Council, on receiving a final report from the Planning and Zoning Commission, may permit a 50 percent reduction of these minimum area requirements if it finds that:

The project has unique characteristics and benefits; or

The parcel in question has unique characteristics that significantly impact development, such as, unusual shape or proportions, unusual topography, or potentially incompatible land uses on surrounding property.

Zoning designation. The Reduction Overlay is applied to property in conjunction with a base zoning district.

Development standards.

Generally. The following reductions are examples that may be requested as part of a Reduction Overlay District to ensure the physical and operational characteristics of proposed buildings and uses are compatible, when considered in the context of the surrounding area.

Reduction of standards.

Applicants must clearly state their requested reductions in writing, when submitting their application for the Reduction Overlay District.

ii.

Reduction of the standards in a base zoning district may be approved by the City Council, on receiving a final report from the Planning and Zoning Commission, and on making the determination that the reduction of the standards would be more appropriate because of the particular design and orientation of buildings and uses, provided that any such modified standards shall be consistent with the purpose of the Reduction Overlay as stated in Subsection a., Purpose, above.

Height. Buildings and structures may be restricted to a lesser height than the maximum height allowed in the base zoning district set forth in Division 2.2, Zoning Districts and Standards.

Carports. The Reduction Overlay District may prohibit carports, even if allowed in the base zoning district.

Accessory dwelling units. The Reduction Overlay District may prohibit Accessory Dwelling Units, even if allowed in the base zoning district.

Billboards.

The Reduction Overlay District may prohibit billboards, even if allowed in the base zoning district.

No existing towers or structures are located within the geographic area required to meet applicant's engineering requirements.

Existing towers or structures are not of sufficient height to meet applicant's engineering requirements.

Existing towers or structures do not have sufficient structural strength to support applicant's proposed antenna and related equipment and cannot be reinforced to provide sufficient structural strength.

The applicant's proposed antenna would cause electromagnetic interference with the antenna on the existing towers or structures, or the antenna on the existing towers or structures would cause interference with the applicant's proposed antenna.

The fees or costs required to share an existing tower or structure or to adapt an existing tower or structure for sharing are unreasonable. Costs below new tower development are presumed reasonable.

Property owners or owners of existing towers or structures are unwilling to accommodate the applicant's needs.

The applicant demonstrates that there are other limiting factors that render existing towers and structures unsuitable.

If an antenna is installed on a structure other than a tower, the antenna and supporting electrical and mechanical equipment must be of a neutral color that is identical to, or closely compatible with, the color of the supporting structure so as to make the antenna and related equipment as visually unobtrusive as possible.

viii.

Federal requirements. All towers must meet or exceed current standards and regulations of the FAA, the FCC, and any other agency of the federal government with the authority to regulate towers and antennas. If such standards and regulations are changed, then the owners of the towers and antennas governed by this section shall bring such towers and antennas into compliance with such revised standards and regulations within six months of the effective date of such standards and regulations.

ix.

Building codes and safety standards. To ensure the structural integrity of towers, the owner of a tower shall ensure that is it maintained in compliance with standards contained in applicable local building codes and the applicable standards for towers that are published by the Electronic Industries Association, as amended from time to time. If, upon inspection, the tower fails to comply with such codes and standards and constitutes a danger to persons and property, then, upon notice being provided to the owner of the tower, the owner shall have 30 days to bring such tower into compliance with such codes and standards. If the owner fails to bring such tower into compliance within 30 days, the Building Official may remove such tower or cause such tower to be removed at the owner's expense.

Removal of abandoned antennas and towers. Any antenna or tower that is not operated for a continuous period of 12 months shall be considered abandoned, and the owner of such antenna or tower shall remove same within 90 days of receipt of notice from the planning department notifying the owner of such abandonment.

§ 39.02.023 Measurements.

Table 39.02.023-1, Measurements, below, provides the method of measurement for the developmental standards in this UDC. Standards related to each type of measurement in this Section are established in the tables in Division 2.2, Zoning Districts and Standards.

Table 39.02.023-1 Measurements
Measurement	Methodology	Illustration
Minimum Common Open Space	The minimum common open space required by each district is calculated by dividing the total amount of common open space on the parcel proposed for development (A) by the total gross area of the entire parcel proposed for development (B) as depicted on a Preliminary Plat. To be counted toward the minimum open space requirements, subject land shall conform to applicable standards in Section 39.04.015, Open Space Standards and Dedication
Lot Coverage	The area of a parcel occupied by permanently anchored primary and/or accessory buildings.
Floor Area Ratio	The gross floor area of all buildings on a lot, divided by the lot area.
Gross Density	The number of dwelling units divided by gross acres, with gross acres being the site area minus the area of open space.
Gross Floor Area	The total area of all the floors of a building, including intermediately floored tiers, mezzanines, etc., as measured from the exterior surfaces of the outside walls of the building.
Height	Buildings: The vertical distance from the grade level of that portion of a parcel covered by the building to the highest point of the coping of a flat roof, or the deck line of a mansard roof, or to the average height between eaves and the ridge of a gable, hip or gambrel roof.

	Walls or Fences: The vertical distance from the grade level of that portion of a parcel immediately abutting a wall or fence to the highest point of the wall or fence.
Lot Area	The total horizontal area included within property lines.
Lot Width	For an interior parcel, the horizontal distance between the side property lines, measured at the required front setback line. For a cul-de-sac parcel, the horizontal distance between the side property lines measured at the front setback line.
Setback	The horizontal distance of a required private op en area at grade between the outer wall (or exterior finish) of a building or structure and the adjoining property lines, or, in the case of an abutting private street, the back-of-curb, unoccupied and unobstructed by any portion of a structure from the ground upward. The front and side setback lines span the entire width of the property. The interior side and side street setback lines extend from the required front setback line to the required rear setback line.
Visibility Triangle	A triangular area that includes that portion of public right-of-way and any private property within a triangle formed by a diagonal line extending through points on the two property lines 25 feet from the street corner intersection of the property lines in all districts except for the MU districts. In the MU districts, the lines extend 10 feet from the back of curb. The vertical dimensions of this triangle are a minimum of 12 feet vehicular traveled ways, including alleys, streets and easements, and a minimum of eight feet above sidewalks as established in Section 36.01.005, Maintenance of Sidewalks, Parkways, Alleys, etc. — By Abutting Owner, of the City of Lubbock Code of Ordinances. Objects including, but not limited to, vegetation, driveways, new structures, or signs shall not encroach into the visibility triangle except as specifically allowed in this UDC. Shrubs and fences may encroach when their overall height does not exceed 3 feet.
Frontage Buildout	The minimum percentage of the lot width which must be occupied by building facade within the Build-To-Zone. For example, a property which is 100 feet wide with a Frontage Buildout of 60% would require that at least 60 feet of facade length be maintained in the Build-to-Zone. Any additional length of front facade would be allowed to step back further from the Build-to-Zone, if desired. The intent of this requirement is to encourage developments to maximize their front facade exposure along the Street.
Block Perimeter	The sum of the lengths of the lot lines bordering the public right-of-way, not including the alley.

As depicted in Figure 39.02.024-1, Setback Plane, the building height may be increased beyond the maximum permitted if the setbacks from all property lines (with the exception of the front lot line), which abut residentially zoned property, are increased one foot for each one foot of height above the maximum permitted height (Letter "C" in Figure 39.02.024-1).

Figure 39.02.024-1 Setback Plane

Yard requirements.

The yard requirements in this UDC do not apply to the following projections into required yards:

Fire escapes, stairs, and balconies. Unenclosed fire escapes, stairways, and/or balconies, covered or uncovered, shall extend not more than four feet into the required front or rear yard.

Architectural features. Cornices, eaves, canopies, sunshades, gutters, chimneys, flues, belt courses, headers, sills, pilasters, lintels, ornamental features, box windows, or other similar architectural features that do not bear on the foundation shall project not more than two feet into any required yard.

Bay windows and chimneys. Within any residential district, bay windows (with a gross floor area of less than or equal to 12 square feet) shall extend not more than two feet into any required yard.

Garages. Front- and rear-loaded garages shall have a minimum setback of 20 feet, regardless of the required minimum setback for the remainder of the building being less than 20 feet.

Infill compatibility.

Applicability. These infill compatibility standards shall apply to any new development or substantial renovation of an existing use that meets the following requirements:

Not a part of a Planned Development District (PDD) under the previous Zoning Ordinance repealed on the effective date of this UDC;

Meets the applicability standards of this Article;

Is proposed on a lot that is located on a block face where more than 50 percent of the lots are occupied by an existing structure; and

Is served by existing streets.

Contextual front building setbacks.

Notwithstanding the minimum front setback requirements of Division 2.2, Zoning Districts and Standards. the applicant may use a contextual front setback when existing front setbacks differ from the front setback required by the base zoning district. In such circumstances, a contextual front setback may be at a point between the required front setback (as depicted with the letter "A" in Figure 39.02.024-2, Contextual Front Setback, below) and the front setback that exists on the closest developed lots that are adjacent (to the left and right of the subject property) and oriented to the same street as the subject lot (as depicted with the letter "B" in Figure 39.02.024-2). If the subject lot is a corner lot, then the setback may fall at a point between the required setback and front setback that exists on the lot that is adjacent and oriented to the same street as the subject lot.

For example, if a zoning district requires a front setback of 20 feet, but the houses on either side of the infill lot have front setbacks of 10 and 20 feet, then the infill house shall have a front setback between 10 and 20 feet. Conversely, if a zoning district requires a front setback of 20 feet, but the houses on either side of the infilllot have a front setback of 20 and 40 feet, then the infill house shall have a front setback between 20 and 40 feet.

The contextual front setback provisions shall not be used to reduce the setback of a residential garage which is 20 feet on a typical street frontage, including cul-de-sacs.

Figure 39.02.024-2 Contextual Front Setback

Contextual rear setbacks.

Notwithstanding the minimum rear setback requirements of Division 2.2, Zoning Districts and Standards. the applicant may apply a contextual rear setback to the primary structure, when existing rear setbacks differ from the rear setback required by the base zoning district. In such circumstances, a contextual rear setback may be at a point between the required rear setback and the rear setback that exists on the closest developed lots that are adjacent (to the left and right of the subject property) and oriented to the same alley right-of-way or rear facing lot or tract lines (where an alley right-of-way is not present) as the subject lot.

For example, if a zoning district requires a rear setback of 20 feet for the primary structure, but the primary structures on either side of the infill lot have rear setbacks of 10 and 20 feet, then the infill house may have a rear setback between 10 and 20 feet.

The contextual rear setback provisions shall not be used to reduce the required setback of a residential garage which is 20 feet from a typical right-of-way, access easement, or private drive that it fronts with an overhead door or similar oversized opening.

Appearance. Infill development shall be constructed to be generally compatible in appearance with other existing structures on the block that comply with this UDC. This provision shall be satisfied by constructing the proposed building(s) so that at least three of the following features are substantially similar to the majority of other buildings on the same and facing block:

Roof pitch and overhang;

Shape, size, and alignment of windows and doors;

Front porches or porticos;

Exterior building color; or

Location and style of garage or carport.

Decision. Approval of a contextual setback(s) meeting the requirements of this Section shall be at the discretion of the Director of Planning. Refer to Section 39.07.039, Appeal of Administrative Decision.

Lots.

Regardless of the lot area or width, all lots in the SF-2 and MDR districts that existed prior to June 26, 1975, are deemed "conforming" with respect to lot area and lot width if they contain an existing, permanent, permitted residential dwelling. The lot width and area requirements of Section 39.02.004, Base Residential Districts, apply only in the event of a replatting of the property.

Generally.

Table 39.02.003-1, Zoning Districts:

Establishes the zoning districts for the City;

Provides the available subdivision types as further articulated in Division 4.3, Subdivision Types; and

Establishes purpose statements for each district and subdivision type.

Base zoning districts.

All properties within the City limits have an associated base zoning district. A base zoning district applies a uniform set of standards, including, but not limited to, those related to:

Permitted, limited, specific, and prohibited uses;

Land use standards; and

Building site design standards.

Overlay districts.

An overlay district establishes regulations to combine with the regulations of an underlying base district. The purposes of an overlay district are to:

Authorize uses via a set of standards for such uses that are not otherwise allowed in the base district; or

Establish additional or different conditions for such uses.
