Classification of New/Unlisted Uses.

It is recognized that new types of land use will arise in the future, and forms of land use not presently anticipated may seek to locate in the City of Westworth Village. In order to provide for such changes and contingencies, a determination as to the appropriate classification of any new or unlisted form of land use in the Permitted Use Table shall be made as follows:

Initiation.

A person, City department, the Planning and Zoning Commission, or the City Council may propose zoning amendments to regulate new and previously unlisted uses.

A person requesting the addition of a new or unlisted use shall submit to the City Administrator or his/her designee all information necessary for the classification of the use, including but not limited to:

(1)

The nature of the use and whether the use involves dwelling activity, sales, services, or processing;

(2)

The type of product sold or produced under the use;

(3)

Whether the use has enclosed or open storage and the amount and nature of the storage;

(4)

Anticipated employment typically anticipated with the use;

(5)

Transportation requirements;

(6)

The nature and time of occupancy and operation of the premises;

(7)

The off-street parking and loading requirements;

(8)

The amount of noise, odor, fumes, dust, toxic materials and vibration likely to be generated;

(9)

The requirements for public utilities such as sanitary sewer and water and any special public services that may be required; and

(10)

Impervious surface coverage.

The City Administrator or his/her designee shall refer the question concerning any new or unlisted use to the Planning and Zoning Commission requesting a recommendation as to the zoning classification into which such use should be placed. The referral of the use interpretation question shall be accompanied by the statement of facts in Section 14.3.3(D)(1)(b) above. An amendment to this Chapter shall be required as prescribed by Article 2, Division 4 of this Chapter.

The Planning and Zoning Commission shall consider the nature and described performance of the proposed use and its compatibility with the uses permitted in the various districts and determine the zoning district or districts within which such use is most similar and should be permitted, by right or by SUP.

The Planning and Zoning Commission shall transmit its findings and recommendations to the City Council as to the classification proposed for any new or unlisted use. The City Council shall approve or disapprove the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission or make such determination concerning the classification of such use as is determined appropriate based upon its findings. If approved, the new or unlisted use shall be amended in the use charts of the Zoning Ordinance according to Article 2, Division 4 of this Chapter.

Standards for new and unlisted uses may be interpreted by the City Administrator or his/her designee as those of a similar use. When a determination of the appropriate zoning district cannot be readily ascertained, the same criteria outlined above shall be followed for determination of the appropriate district. The decision of the City Administrator or his/her designee may be appealed according to the process outlined in Section 14.3.3(D)(2)–(4) above.

Uses in SF-R Zones.

Any use permitted in Zoning District SF-R are permitted in Zoning Districts SF-R1, SF-R-2, and SF-R-3.

The detailed PD site plan shall establish the final plans for development of the Planned Development district (or any portion thereof), and it shall substantially conform to the site layout and development data approved on the PD concept plan, which shall be adopted along with the PD ordinance. If a PD concept plan was previously approved for the overall PD district, then a detailed PD site plan, along with the required engineering/architectural site construction plans and preliminary plat, may be submitted for only the sections or lot/tracts that are proposed for immediate development rather than for the entire PD. If no concept plan was approved with the ordinance establishing the PD, then a concept plan for the entire PD must be submitted and approved prior to approval of a detailed site plan, along with the required engineering/architectural site construction plans and preliminary plat, for only the portion(s) of the PD that are proposed for immediate development. For any single- or two-family residential district (SF-A, SF-B, SF-C, SF-R), a preliminary plat shall qualify as the site plan.

Lapse, Extension or Reinstatement of the PD site plan shall be in accordance with the provisions above and the provisions in Article 2, Division 6 of this Chapter.

(Ordinance 398 adopted 8/9/16)

§ 14.3.54 Approval Process and Procedures.

The procedure for establishing a Planned Development zoning district shall follow the procedures for zoning amendments as set forth in Article 2, Division 4 of this Chapter. This procedure shall be expanded to include concurrent consideration and approval (or denial) of the concept plan that is submitted along with the PD zoning request application. The public hearings conducted for, and the subsequent actions taken upon, the PD zoning request shall also include the accompanying concept plan, and if the PD is approved then the concept plan shall become a part of the ordinance establishing the PD district.

The ordinance establishing the Planned Development zoning district shall not be approved (or adopted) until the accompanying concept plan is approved by the City Council, and until all other procedural requirements set forth in Article 2, Divisions 4 and 6 are satisfied.

(Ordinance 398 adopted 8/9/16)

§ 14.3.55 Report Required for Planned Development District Zoning Request.

When a zoning request for a Planned Development district is being considered, a written report from the City Administrator or his/her designee discussing the project’s impact upon planning, engineering, water utilities, electric, sanitation, building inspection, tax, police, fire and traffic, as well as written comments from applicable public agencies, such as the applicable School District and/or utility companies, may be submitted to the Planning and Zoning Commission prior to the Commission making any recommendations to the City Council. In the event written comments and advisement are not forthcoming in a reasonable amount of time, the Commission may, at its discretion, make a recommendation to the City Council without said comments or advisement.

(Ordinance 398 adopted 8/9/16)

§ 14.3.56 Prefix of Planned Development Districts.

All Planned Development zoning districts approved in accordance with the provisions of this Chapter, as may be amended, shall be prefixed by a “PD” designation and assigned a unique identification number (e.g., PD-1, PD-2, PD-3, and so on), and shall also be referenced on the Zoning District Map. A list of such Planned Development districts, showing the uses permitted and any other special stipulations of each PD district, shall be maintained in the Office of the City Secretary.

(Ordinance 398 adopted 8/9/16)

§ 14.3.57 Prior Planned Development Ordinances Remaining in Effect.

Prior to adoption of this Chapter, the City Council previously established certain Planned Development districts, some of which are to be continued in full force and effect. The ordinances or parts of ordinances approved prior to this Chapter, shall be carried forth in full force and effect and are the conditions, restrictions, regulations and requirements which apply to the respective Planned Development districts shown on the Zoning District Map as of the effective date of this Chapter. Each prior PD ordinance is hereby assigned a unique identification number (e.g., PD-1, PD-2, PD-3, and so on), and subsequent PD ordinances adopted after the effective date of this Chapter shall be similarly numbered for identification purposes.

(Ordinance 398 adopted 8/9/16)

§ 14.3.58 Purpose and Intent.

Nature of Specific Use.

A specific use is a land use which, because of its unique nature, is compatible with the permitted land uses in a given zoning district only upon a determination that the external effects of the use in relation to the existing and planned uses of adjoining property and the neighborhood can be mitigated through imposition of certain standards and conditions. This Section sets forth the standards used to evaluate proposed special uses and the procedures for approving Specific Use Permit applications.

Permit Required.

No specific use shall be established and no building permit shall be issued for any use designated as a specific use within any zoning district until a Specific Use Permit (SUP) is issued in accordance with the provisions of this Article. An application for an SUP shall be accompanied by a concept plan or a detailed site plan prepared in the manner described in Article 2 division 6 of this Chapter. The concept plan or site plan shall illustrate the proposed use to be established, its relationship to adjoining properties, and how it meets the approval standards set forth in Section 14.3.62.

(Ordinance 398 adopted 8/9/16)

§ 14.3.59 Status of Specially Permitted Uses.

The following general rules apply to all special uses:

The designation of a use in a zoning district as may be permitted by SUP in Section 14.3.3 of this Chapter does not constitute an authorization or assurance that such use will be approved.

Approval of an SUP shall authorize only the particular use for which the SUP is issued.

No use authorized by an SUP shall be enlarged, extended or relocated, nor may the number of dwelling units be increased, unless an application is made for approval of a new Specific Use Permit in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section and Article 2, Division 4 of this Chapter.

Development of the use shall not be carried out until the applicant has secured all the permits and approvals required by these zoning regulations, the City Code of Ordinances, and any permits that may be required by regional, State or Federal agencies.

(Ordinance 398 adopted 8/9/16)

§ 14.3.60 Application for Specific Use Permit.

Application Requirements.

An application for a Specific Use Permit may be submitted by the property owner or by the property owner’s designated representative to the City. The application shall be accompanied by a concept plan or site plan prepared in accordance with the requirements of Article 2, Division 6 of this Chapter. If a base zoning district amendment is required or requested, such rezoning application shall accompany the application for a Specific Use Permit.

Subdivision Approval.

If the proposed use requires a division of or the platting of land, an application for the first step in subdivision approval shall be submitted in conjunction with the application for a Specific Use Permit. Approval of the Specific Use Permit shall not become effective until final approval of the subdivision application provided that, if the land is to be divided and developed in phases, the approval of the Specific Use Permit shall take effect upon final plat approval of the phase of the subdivision containing the property on which the special use is to be located.

(Ordinance 398 adopted 8/9/16)

§ 14.3.61 Procedures for Specific Use Permits.

Planning and Zoning Commission Recommendation.

Upon receipt of the recommendation from the City Administrator or his/her designee the Planning and Zoning Commission shall conduct a public hearing in order to formulate its recommendations to the City Council on the Specific Use Permit application. Following the public hearing, the Planning and Zoning Commission shall recommend approval, approval subject to modification, or denial of the proposal to the City Council. If the appropriateness of the use cannot be assured at the location, the Planning and Zoning Commission shall recommend denial of the application as being incompatible with existing uses or with other uses permitted by right in the district.

City Council Action.

The City Council shall be the final decision-maker on applications for Specific Use Permits. Following a public hearing and in consideration of the Planning and Zoning Commission’s recommendations, the City Council shall approve, modify or deny the proposal for a Specific Use Permit in accordance with Article 2, Division 4 of this Chapter. If the appropriateness of the use cannot be assured at the location, the application for Specific Use Permit shall be denied as being incompatible with existing uses or with other uses permitted by right in the district.

(Ordinance 398 adopted 8/9/16)

§ 14.3.62 Standards.

Factors for Consideration.

When considering applications for a Specific Use Permit, the Planning and Zoning Commission in making its recommendation and the City Council in rendering its decision on the application shall, on the basis of the concept plan/site plan and other information submitted, evaluate the impact of the special use on, and the compatibility of the use with, surrounding properties and neighborhoods to ensure the appropriateness of the use at a particular location. The Planning and Zoning Commission and the City Council shall specifically consider the extent to which:

The proposed use at the specified location is consistent with the goals, objectives and policies contained in the adopted Comprehensive Plan;

The proposed use is consistent with the general purpose and intent of the applicable zoning district regulations;

The proposed use meets all supplemental standards specifically applicable to the use as set forth in Article 4 of this Chapter;

The proposed use is compatible with and preserves the character and integrity of adjacent development and neighborhoods and, as required by the particular circumstances, includes improvements or modifications either on-site or within the public rights-of-way to mitigate development-related adverse impacts, including but not limited to:

Adequate ingress and egress to property and proposed structures thereon with particular reference to vehicular and pedestrian safety and convenience, and access in case of fire;

Off-street parking and loading areas;

Refuse and service areas;

Utilities with reference to location, availability, and compatibility;

Screening and buffering features to minimize visual impacts, and/or setbacks from adjacent uses;

Control of signs, if any, and proposed exterior lighting with reference to glare, traffic safety, economic effect, and compatibility and harmony with properties in the district;

Required yards and open space;

Height and bulk of structures;

Hours of operation;

Exterior construction material and building design; and

Roadway adjustments, traffic-control devices or mechanisms, and access restrictions to control traffic flow or divert traffic as may be needed to reduce or eliminate development-generated traffic on neighborhood streets.

The proposed use is not materially detrimental to the public health, safety, convenience and welfare, or results in material damage or prejudice to other property in the vicinity.

Conditions.

In approving the application, the Planning and Zoning Commission may recommend, and the City Council may impose, such additional conditions as are reasonably necessary to assure compliance with these standards and the purpose and intent of this Section, in accordance with the procedures in Article 2, Division 4 of this Chapter. Such additional conditions shall exceed the minimum standards contained herein or in any other applicable City Code or Ordinance, and they cannot relax or grant relief from any of the City’s minimum standards. Any conditions imposed shall be set forth in the ordinance approving the specific use, and shall be incorporated into or noted on the concept plan or site plan for final approval. The City Administrator or his/her designee shall verify that the plan incorporates all conditions set forth in the ordinance authorizing the special use, and shall sign the plan to indicate final approval. The City shall maintain a record of such approved special uses and the site plans and conditions attached thereto.

Prohibition on Waivers and Variances.

The foregoing additional conditions shall not be subject to variances that otherwise could be granted by the Board of Adjustment nor may conditions imposed by the City Council subsequently be waived or varied by the BOA. In conformity with the authority of the City Council to authorize special uses, the City Council may waive or modify specific standards otherwise made applicable to the use by this Chapter, to secure the general objectives of this Section; provided, however, that the City Council shall not waive or modify any approval factor set forth in Section 14.3.62(A).

(Ordinance 398 adopted 8/9/16)

§ 14.3.63 Expiration, Extension and Revocation.

A SUP can be extended, revoked or modified by the City Council, after notice to the property owner and a hearing on the matter by its own motion and at its discretion. If a special use permit is denied or revoked in accordance with this section, then the subject property shall not be eligible for resubmittal for a minimum of 6 months.

Rescinded, for:

Failure to commence development; or

Failure to extend the time for performance for the concept plan or site plan approved along with the SUP ordinance.

Revoked or modified for:

The special use permit was obtained or extended by fraud or deception; or

One or more of the conditions of approval imposed on the special use permit has not been met or has been violated.

(Ordinance 398 adopted 8/9/16; Ordinance 500 adopted 11/14/2023)

§ 14.3.64 Amendment.

No proposed or existing building, premise or land use authorized as a special use may be established, enlarged, modified, structurally altered, or otherwise changed from that approved in the Specific Use Permit, unless such amendment is authorized in accordance with the standards and procedures set forth in this Section, and the Specific Use Permit and approved concept plan or site plan are amended accordingly.

(Ordinance 398 adopted 8/9/16)

§ 14.3.65 Other Regulations.

The Board of Adjustment shall not have jurisdiction to hear, review, reverse, or modify any decision, determination, or ruling with respect to the specific land use designated by any Specific Use Permit.

(Ordinance 398 adopted 8/9/16)

§ 14.3.66 Use Regulations.

Uses allowed by SUP are specified in Section 14.3.3 and the following SUP regulations apply to specific use types.

Vape shop.

Purpose.

The regulation of vape shops is necessary and in the interests of the public health, safety, and general welfare because there is a substantial likelihood of the establishment and operation of vape shops in the City of Westworth Village. The expansion of these stores in the city could result in undesirable impacts to the community. Among these impacts are increased potential for tobacco sales to minors, greater opportunity for the sale of illegal drug paraphernalia that is marketed as tobacco paraphernalia, and heightened risk of negative aesthetic impacts, blight, and loss of property values of residential neighborhoods and businesses in close proximity to such uses. This chapter contains amendments consistent with good zoning and planning practices to address such negative impacts of vape shops while providing a reasonable number of locations and zones for such shops/stores to locate within the City of Westworth Village.

Zoning and land use standards for vape shops.

Vape Shops shall require a special use permit. Standards to operate a Vape Shop store shall be as follows:

Vape Shops shall be located in a stand-alone building to provide easier monitoring and access to law enforcement agencies.

Vape shops shall not be located within 1,000 feet, measured property line to property line, from a school (public or private), family daycare home, childcare facility, youth center, community center, recreational facility, park, church or religious institution, hospital, or other similar uses where children regularly gather.

Vape Shops shall not be located within 1,500 feet, measured property line to property line, from another Vape Shop.

No Vape Shop operator, employee or owner shall knowingly allow or permit a minor, not accompanied by his or her parent or legal guardian, to enter or be present on the premises. It shall be the duty of the store and store's employees to identify and ascertain the age of any such person and to refuse admittance to person not of age.

Vape Shops shall post clear signage, minimum of 8-1/2" x 11" with a minimum of 24 font, stating that minors may not enter the premises unless accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. At least one such sign shall be placed in a conspicuous location near each public entrance to the Vape Shop. It shall be unlawful for a Vape Shop to fail to display and maintain, or fail to cause to be displayed or maintained, such signage.

No Vape Shope or its employee, owner or agent shall sell a tobacco product or e-cigarette to a minor.

Retailers must register with the State of Texas and file information on the store with the comptroller.

Vape Shops that are legally existing on the effective date of the ordinance codified in this chapter may continue to operate as nonconforming uses and shall not be required to obtain a special use permit. However, any change or expansion of the nonconforming use may require compliance with this chapter and a special use permit.
