LAND USE

Section 3.1.1 - General Parameters for Determining Permitted Land Uses

A.

Generally. This Division identifies the land uses that may be allowed within each of the specified zoning districts established in Section 2.1.1, Zoning Districts Established, and sets out supplemental use regulations. Uses shall not be permitted, and buildings and structures associated with such use shall not be erected, structurally altered, or enlarged on a property, unless said use is permitted within the zoning district applicable to the property located within the City limits of Marble Falls, and in accordance to the provisions of these regulations.

B.

List of Permitted Land Use Tables. Permitted land uses are set out in the following sections:

1.

Section 3.1.2, Agricultural and Ranch Uses;

2.

Section 3.1.3, Residential and Neighborhood Uses;

3.

Section 3.1.4, Civic Uses;

4.

Section 3.1.5, Commercial Uses;

5.

Section 3.1.6, Industrial Uses; and

6.

Section 3.1.7, Home Enterprise Uses.

C.

Interpretation. Land uses are classified for each zoning district as either permitted by-right (P), permitted subject to restrictions (R), allowed if existing on the effective date of these regulations (E), permitted as a conditional use (C), permitted within a Master Planned Community (MP), or prohibited (—), as set out in this subsection and as shown in the land use tables in Section 3.1.2, Agricultural and Ranch Uses, through Section 3.1.7, Home Enterprise Uses.

1.

Permitted Uses (P). The use is permitted by-right in the specified zoning district, subject to the standards for permitted uses that are established by these regulations and any applicable City ordinance. Permitted uses do not require additional approval to be authorized within the applicable district.

2.

Restricted Uses (R). The use is allowed in the specified zoning district, subject to the standards for permitted uses that are established by these regulations and any applicable City ordinance, and any use-specific requirements set out in Section 3.2.1, Restricted and Conditional Uses. Restricted Uses may be administratively approved by the Director provided all requirements are met.

3.

Existing Uses (E). The use is only allowed in the specified zoning district if it existed at that location on the effective date of these regulations.

4.

Conditional Uses (C). The use requires approval by the City Council to be allowed within the specified zoning district, in addition to the standards for permitted uses that are established by these regulations and any applicable City ordinance, and any use-specific requirements which are set out in Section 3.2.1, Restricted and Conditional Uses. Conditional uses must be reviewed by the Planning and Zoning Commission after a public hearing and then approved by the City Council after a public hearing as set out in Section 11.3.4, Conditional Use Permit, and other applicable sections of these regulations.

5.

Master Planned Community Uses (MP). The use is allowed in the specified zoning district only with approval of a Master Planned Community as set out in Section 4.4.2, Master Planned Communities, and any applicable City ordinance. A Master Planned Community must be a minimum of 25 acres and allows administrative approval of a Concept Plan providing for a mix of new residential and nonresidential uses within the specified zoning district (cannot include existing residential or other development).

6.

Prohibited Uses (—). The use is prohibited in the specified zoning district.

D.

Principal and Accessory Uses. The City recognizes that multiple uses may occasionally occupy a property. These uses can be classified as Principal or Accessory, as follows:

1.

Principal Uses. The primary activity on a parcel of property is considered the Principal Use. Land uses listed in the land use tables of Section 3.1.2, Agricultural and Ranch Uses, through Section 3.1.6, Industrial Uses, shall be inferred to be a "principal use" as defined by these regulations. At times, however, a principal use identified in Section 3.1.2 through Section 3.1.6 may be secondary to another principal use (e.g., a drive-in or drive-through to a food and drink establishment) and may be subject to further use restrictions in Section 3.2.1, Restricted and Conditional Uses. When more than one principal use exists or is proposed on a parcel proposed for development, each shall be permitted in the zoning district and subject to any subsequent use restrictions and development standards.

2.

Accessory Uses. Uses that are typically incidental to and subordinate to but customarily associated with a specific principal use located on the same parcel of property are considered an Accessory Use. For example, a storage facility for light industrial services, a cafeteria within a hospital, or a car wash at a vehicle fueling station. The relationship among principal and accessory uses shall be determined either by definition of the principal use in these regulations or by customary association with the principal use, as determined by the Director. Accessory uses shall not be allowed without a principal use. Accessory uses shall be subject to the same regulations that apply to the principal uses in each district, except as otherwise provided in these regulations.

E.

Unlisted Uses. It is recognized that new types of land uses may emerge and forms of land use not presently anticipated may seek to locate to the City. The Director shall make a determination as to whether a particular unlisted use may be reasonably classified as adhering to a listed use as set out in this Division.

1.

Consideration of an unlisted use. The Director shall consider an unlisted use on a case-by-case basis and either determine that the proposed unlisted use is materially similar to an existing listed use as defined in these regulations (see Division 13.2, Definitions), or determine that the unlisted use is not materially similar.

a.

If the Director determines an unlisted use is materially similar to an existing listed use, such use will be authorized similar to the listed use and is subject to all of the same standards and requirements as set out in these regulations.

b.

If the Director determines that an unlisted use is not materially similar to an existing listed use, the unlisted land use shall be considered incompatible and a prohibited use from being located within the City. If desired, a text amendment to consider the land use can be subsequently initiated by the City Council, as set out in Section 11.3.9, Text Amendment.

c.

The Director may elect not to make a determination and request that the Planning and Zoning Commission interpret the unlisted use at their next regularly scheduled meeting. If the Planning and Zoning Commission renders an interpretation upon request of the Director, the Director shall adhere to and enforce the determination provided.

2.

Unlisted Use Determination Criteria. In considering an unlisted use, the Director, or in the event of referral, the Planning and Zoning Commission, shall take into consideration all the land development impacts the unlisted use may have including, but not limited to, parking demand, trip generation, impervious surface, regulated air or water emissions, noise, lighting, dust, odors, solid waste generation, potentially hazardous conditions, use and storage of materials, character of building and structures, nature and impacts of operation, hours of operation, volume and frequency of deliveries, utility impact, and compatibility with surrounding land uses.
