right of way by citizens of Lubbock, which includes the area above and below the streets, alleys,
and sidewalks as well as the surface, NOW THEREFORE:
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LUBBOCK:
THAT the following policy is hereby established for the regulation of the use of public
street right-of-way for other than street purposes:
1. Because of the potential value of public street right-of-way to the general public, the
City of Lubbock will no longer entertain applications for permission to construct any type of
permanent improvement at ground or surface level.
2. Street uses, for the purposes herein shall be classified as:
a. Permanent - such as but not limited to, an underground passageway, utility tunnel and
basement.
b. Building overhang.
c. Open Ground - such as parking of motor vehicles or the storage of equipment or
material with no construction of building or structure permitted.
d. Temuorary and Miscellaneous - such as fences, temporary structures, utilities,
planter boxes, trees and light standards. This shall not apply to plantings in residen-
tial areas which are presently covered by Section 28-10 of the City Code which provides
for a "Street Parkway Use Permit".
3. Application for permission to use public street right-of-way, as defined above, shall be
made with the Right -of -Way Agnet of the City upon forms furnished by such office.
Applications must be filed with such office a minimum of 10 days prior to consideration
by the Council to provide an adequate period of time for review and consideration as related to
existing and future utilities and other public requirements.
Applications must shown the type of use proposed, specifications and a detailed drawing
of any improvements to be constructed, and the exact location of the property involved.
4. (A) Permits for street uses which come within permanent improvements as defined in
Section 2 a. shall be granted by the City Council as a franchise, and, if approved, shall be
granted in the form approved by the City Council for a period of time to be set by the City
Council not to exceed Twenty (20) years, and for the use thereof, the franchise holder shall be
charged a consideration calculated at two times the current city tax rate times the average asses-
sed value per square foot times the number of square feet, or $10.00, whichever is greater, pay-
able annually. �.
4. (B) Permits for street uses which come within permanent improvements as defined in
Section 2 b. shall be granted by the City Council as a franchise, and, if approved, shall be
granted in the form approved by the City Council for a period of time to be set by the City
Council not to exceed Twenty (20) years, and for the use thereof, the franchise holder shall be
charged a consideration calculated at the current city tax rate times the average assessed value
per square foot times the number of square feet, or $10.00 whichever is greater, payable annually.
5. Permits for open ground street uses as defined in Section 2 c. shall be granted by the
City Council as a street use license and, if granted, the licensee, for the use thereof, shall
be charged a consideration calculated at two (2) cents per square foot of property covered by
such license or $10.00 whichever is greater, payable annually, for the duration of the license.
6. Permits for temporary and miscellaneous street uses as defined in Section 2 d. shall be
granted by the City Council as a street use license, and, if granted, the licensee, for the use
thereof, shall be charged a consideration set by the City Council at not more than $5.00 per
year for the furation of the license.
7. All permits for street uses granted by the City Council, either franchise or street use
license, shall require the annual fee to be paid on January 1st of each year of the duration of
such franchise or street use license. Notice of such fee being due shall be sent by the Right -
of -Way Agent of the City to the license or franchise holder and upon the failure of such holder
to pay the required fee within 30 days from receipt of the statement from the City, such non-
payment shall be considered a default in thelicense or franchise and the City Council shall deter-
mine whether such license or franchise shall be considered forfeited and may elect to demand vaca-
tion by the holder. 11"
