Pflugerville City Zoning Code

Neighborhood Service (NS)

This district is established as a limited retail category intended for use by residents of nearby neighborhood areas for the purpose of supplying day-to-day needs and personal services. Establishments should include small, free-standing retail structures, such as convenience stores and neighborhood oriented personal service establishments. Sites zoned “NS” should be located on a thoroughfare and generally utilize a site adjacent to one or more logical neighborhood service areas.

Retail (R)

This district is established to provide locations for various types of general retail trade, business and service uses for services to one or more neighborhoods. The commercial areas developed within an R district should utilize to the maximum extent possible the existing landscaping on site to buffer from adjacent residential uses and be limited to two stories in height. The R district should be located generally at the intersection of major thoroughfares and convenient to a residential trade area, with signage compatible with surrounding land use. In the R district, open storage as defined herein is not permitted.

General Business 1 (GB1)

The General Business 1 (GB1) district is designed to accommodate a full range of retail and office uses with a city-wide and even regional trade area. These types of commercial uses are conducted wholly within an enclosed building. The uses in this district have operating characteristics and traffic service requirements compatible with typical office, retail, shopping, and high density residential environments.

General Business 2 (GB2)

The General Business 2 (GB2) district is intended to provide a convenient location for small scale service and commercial related establishments, such as wholesale products, contractor shops, mini storage, major automotive repair, and similar more intense commercial uses. The uses included in this district should be located on a collector or higher classification thoroughfare. 

Campus Industrial (CI)

This district is intended to include land which is used, or intended to be used, as an employment center, including but not limited to, land uses such as light industrial, research and development centers, multi-story offices, business services and limited retail services.  It is intended to provide for places to work with the conveniences of services within a centralized area. It should be located along major arterial streets and may be located along the SH130 and SH45 corridors.

Light Industrial (LI)

This district is intended to include land which is used, or intended to be used, for light industrial purposes including, but not limited to research facilities, and specialized processing and assembling plants. It should be located along major arterial streets or separated from arterial streets by the GB1 and GB2 districts and should generally not be located on SH 130 or SH 45. Industrial uses whether in LI or GI may be located within the same area.  

General Industrial (GI)

This district is intended to include land which is used, or intended to be used, for the development and protection of, manufacturing, and related undertakings which generate a large volume of traffic, can involve multi-shift employment, involve heavy equipment, and/or generate noise, dust, or light which is not compatible with the other uses in this chapter, and might require large parcels of land. This district should be located away from residential uses and areas that are suitable for retail commercial use. They should be relatively large areas to encourage the clustering of similar uses and avoid the proliferation of GI districts in the City. The district should have adequate access to arterial streets, but not direct frontage on arterial streets or SH 130 or SH 45.
