Pflugerville City Zoning Code

4.4 Corridor

Districts CL3, CL4, CL5

The purpose of the corridor districts is to provide an adequate mix of residential and commercial industrial land uses that encourage a mix of employment, shopping and services opportunities. Non-residential zoning districts are comprised of CL3, CL4 and CL5. 

4.4.1 CORRIDOR DISTRICTS DEFINED

Neighborhood (Level 3: CL3)This district is intended to establish a form that features neighborhood-scale suburban development primarily consisting of a mix of small-scale residential uses with limited, compatible commercial uses along major thoroughfares and within activity nodes. The scale of development is limited with substantial on-site public spaces, open spaces, vegetation and standards for built form. Uses within the Neighborhood District may be mixed with an emphasis on creating walkable neighborhoods near neighborhood centers, civic spaces and public facilities.  Urban (Level 4: CL4)This district is intended to create vibrant and walkable neighborhoods and employment centers in the Mixed-Use Commercial and Innovation Center areas as geographically identified on the Future Land Use Map. The scale of structures in the Urban District is greater than that found in the Neighborhood District and with density sufficient to support a range of housing types. Commercial  and retail services play an increased role relative to the Neighborhood District but remain supportive of surrounding neighborhoods and employment centers.  Urban Center (Level 5: CL5)This district is intended to establish dense, dynamic and walkable centers for living, working and shopping. Urban Centers provide a retail and employment focus supplemented by dense residential development. Urban Centers should be located in the Mixed-Use Commercial and Innovation Center areas as geographically identified on the Future Land Use Map, focused at major interchanges along the state highways and toll facilities with high degrees of regional access. Buildings within the Urban Center should be multistoried with a mix of tenant spaces on the ground floor. When single story or single tenant land uses are proposed, they should be clustered together with connected pedestrian amenities to create synergy among the buildings. All building ground floors within the Urban Center should provide a store front and an enhanced pedestrian environment which collectively creates a ten-minute walking area to goods and services within the development area, as envisioned by the Aspire 2040 plan.

      Dwelling units associated with assisted living or nursing home facilities shall be exempt from this requirement
    2. (2)
      The maximum height permitted when developed as a Multi-Family, Urban land use. With administrative approval of the Planning Director, if a structure includes features such as parapets, chimneys, vents, and mechanical or safety features including fire towers, stairways, elevator penthouses, heating or cooling equipment, solar installations, and protective covers; and ornamental towers, cupolas, domes, and spires that are not designed for occupancy, a structure may exceed the maximum height limitations by:
      1. a.

      2. b.
        The amount necessary to comply with a federal or state regulation; or
      3. c.
        For a stack or vent, the amount necessary to comply with generally accepted engineering standards
    3. (3)
       A building and its accompanying active space such as patios can encroach into the minimum street setback along toll/frontage road facilities up to 10’ if parking is not located between the building and the toll/frontage road facility and such placement does not encroach into utility easements.
    4. (4)
      Applicable to new development after April 2024. At the approval of the Planning Director, where a lot has existing easements that preclude compliance, more than one lot frontage exists where the provision will be applicable, or irregularly shaped lot configurations preclude compliance, an alternative building placement may be considered. Active green frontage and stormwater facility consideration: A stormwater management facility may, with approval of the Planning Director, receive credit towards the build-to line requirement if such facility is constructed as a wet pond, has a dual-use design, or is otherwise integrated into the site as a visually attractive feature. Such stormwater facilities should avoid the need for fences and integrate the perimeter with adjacent open spaces, incorporating recreational uses (using fences for safety along steep side slopes only, not around the entire pond). Engineering structures of the stormwater facility such as forebays, surface weirs, inlet structures, etc. should be strategically placed to minimize visibility or, when such alternative location is not feasible, integrate design that diminishes their visual impact to blend with surroundings. Retaining wall finishes should use materials and forms that match or complement materials used within the development. Streetyard depth and content must be met along the stormwater facility or active green frontage, with street tree separation decreased to 30’ on-center. A multiuse path with at least two street furniture elements per 250’ must be incorporated around stormwater facilities and active green spaces functioning as active frontages.
    (3)Building Height Setback (Applicable to side and rear setbacks abutting single-family residential zoning)N/AN/A

    Buildings exceeding 20' in height abutting single-family residential zoning are required to have additional building setbacks measured from the side and rear building setbacks.  This provisions is applicable even if the property line is not common. One (1) foot of additional building height for a commercial or industrial building requires two (2) feet of additional building setback.  One (1) foot of additional building height for a multi-family building requires five (5) feet of additional building setback.

    *Non-residential and multi-family properties located in the CL3, CL4, CL5 districts may be designed with a minimum 50 feet of frontage if a perpetual joint access easement or unified development agreement is provided, and driveway spacing requirements are met.

    1. (1)
      Dwelling units associated with assisted living or nursing home facilities shall be exempt from this requirement
    2. (2)
      The maximum height permitted when developed as a Multi-Family, Urban land use. With administrative approval of the Planning Director, if a structure includes features such as parapets, chimneys, vents, and mechanical or safety features including fire towers, stairways, elevator penthouses, heating or cooling equipment, solar installations, and protective covers; and ornamental towers, cupolas, domes, and spires that are not designed for occupancy, a structure may exceed the maximum height limitations by:
      1. a.
        15%
      2. b.
        The amount necessary to comply with a federal or state regulation; or
      3. c.
        For a stack or vent, the amount necessary to comply with generally accepted engineering standards
    3. (3)
       A building and its accompanying active space such as patios can encroach into the minimum street setback along toll/frontage road facilities up to 10’ if parking is not located between the building and the toll/frontage road facility and such placement does not encroach into utility easements.
    4. (4)
      Applicable to new development after April 2024. At the approval of the Planning Director, where a lot has existing easements that preclude compliance, more than one lot frontage exists where the provision will be applicable, or irregularly shaped lot configurations preclude compliance, an alternative building placement may be considered. Active green frontage and stormwater facility consideration: A stormwater management facility may, with approval of the Planning Director, receive credit towards the build-to line requirement if such facility is constructed as a wet pond, has a dual-use design, or is otherwise integrated into the site as a visually attractive feature. Such stormwater facilities should avoid the need for fences and integrate the perimeter with adjacent open spaces, incorporating recreational uses (using fences for safety along steep side slopes only, not around the entire pond). Engineering structures of the stormwater facility such as forebays, surface weirs, inlet structures, etc. should be strategically placed to minimize visibility or, when such alternative location is not feasible, integrate design that diminishes their visual impact to blend with surroundings. Retaining wall finishes should use materials and forms that match or complement materials used within the development. Streetyard depth and content must be met along the stormwater facility or active green frontage, with street tree separation decreased to 30’ on-center. A multiuse path with at least two street furniture elements per 250’ must be incorporated around stormwater facilities and active green spaces functioning as active frontages.
    (3)Building Height Setback (Applicable to side and rear setbacks abutting single-family residential zoning)N/AN/A

    Buildings exceeding 20' in height abutting single-family residential zoning are required to have additional building setbacks measured from the side and rear building setbacks.  This provisions is applicable even if the property line is not common. One (1) foot of additional building height for a commercial or industrial building requires two (2) feet of additional building setback.  One (1) foot of additional building height for a multi-family building requires five (5) feet of additional building setback.
