Lufkin City Zoning Code
ARTICLE III
DISTRICTS AND SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS PERTAINING TO EACH DISTRICT
§ 1 PURPOSE.
To provide a location for land situated on the fringe of an urban area and to permit the use of land for ranching, propagation and cultivation of crops and similar uses of vacant land or sparsely populated property. It is anticipated that Agricultural zoned land will eventually be rezoned to another zoning classification. The “AG” - Agricultural District is also appropriate for areas where development is premature due to lack of utilities or City services; to preserve areas that are unsuitable for development due to problems that may present hazards such as flooding, in which case the “AG” zoning designation should be retained until such hazards are mitigated and the land is rezoned and to provide permanent open space areas as buffers around uses that might otherwise be objectionable or pose environmental health hazards.

§ 1 PURPOSE.
The “ARO-M” District is designed to allow for the productive reuse of a property in the City’s residential areas where neighborhoods are transitioning from single-family homes to investment properties and other types of uses. The District designation will assist in maintaining the residential character of the area and preventing excessive commercialization of the area. An additional purpose is to prevent the loss of distinctive structures in these neighborhoods which may otherwise be demolished and replaced with modern buildings.
The “ARO-M” District uses are listed in the Schedule of Permitted Uses. “ARO-M” District activities should preserve the residential character of the neighborhood. Building uses in the “ARO-M” District should not be discernable from the exterior of the building with the exception of approved signs.
No land shall be used and no building or structure shall be erected for or converted to any use other than those listed in the Schedule of Permitted Uses for this district. Any existing parking or lack of same for any conforming structure in the “ARO-M” District shall be considered a conforming parking arrangement.

C.
Removal of any tree over 12" in diameter within the “ARO-M” District requires the review and approval of the City Tree Board.

B.
Building Site Coverage.
The gross ground floor area of all building structures shall not exceed sixty percent (60%) of the site area, including a maximum of thirty percent (30%) for accessory buildings and structures.

Development standards should be designed and integrated into the Office Site Plan to ensure that there are limited impacts from the Office use and limited impacts to residential developments in close proximity to the Office use.
This zone is best utilized for land adjacent to commercial or industrial use, in areas serviced by arterial and/or collector streets that are transitioning from residential to commercial uses or office use. The director of Planning shall be responsible to evaluate proposed secondary uses to ascertain that the impact of the secondary use will not adversely impact neighboring residential properties. No land shall be used and no building or structure shall be erected for or converted to any use other than those listed in the Schedule of Permitted Uses for this district.
A.
All development occurring within the Office District, whether it is constructed in one or several phases, shall be done in accordance with all requirements established by the City, including, but not limited to these standards.
B.
All secondary uses shall be permitted only within a building which contains one or more primary uses, however, the total square footage of all secondary uses shall be less than fifty percent (50%) of the gross square footage of the building in which such secondary uses are located.

E.
Variances and appeals of the Director of Planning’s determinations may be made to the Board of Adjustment and Appeals.

The use of a wooden picket privacy fence is acceptable provided that the fence completely obscures the view of commercial activities and that permanent provisions for the maintenance of the fence are provided. Fences composed of materials that are normally not associated with a fence such as used tires, car parts, or other non-standard new or used materials are prohibited in all zoning districts.
1.
If adjacent owners prefer that no fence be placed between abutting properties they must submit a letter (stating their preference) to the Director of Planning. This information shall serve as a waiver of the requirement for a fence. On sites adjacent to multiple neighbors the request must be unanimous in support of the waiver. The requirement for construction of a fence may be reviewed by the Board of Adjustments and Appeals as a variance.
B.
Fence height measurements are taken at the mean (average) grade height.
C.
Fences used for screening may be reduced to a height of four feet (4") between the setback line and property line at the discretion of the Director of Planning when the Director of Planning determines the reduction is beneficial to the adjacent uses.
D.
