Fifth Amended Project Plan
December 2009
North Overton TIF Project Plan
The North Overton Area was established in 1907 and over the next 20 years developed as
a middle-class neighborhood, with home ownership predominating. Following World
War 11, the growth of Texas Tech stimulated a need for student housing. This need was
provided by many non -conforming apartments, converted garages, and subdivided
houses, reducing home ownership considerably. Continued growth of Texas Tech
encouraged development of apartment buildings, further destroying the stability of the
area.
By the 1980's, the City of Lubbock recognized the need to explore methods of stabilizing
property values while allowing the area to develop to its fullest potential. The Overton
North Study Committee was appointed to identify solutions to address the area's
problems. The City retained RTKL in 1989 to prepare a Redevelopment Plan for
Downtown Lubbock, which included the North Overton area. RTKL's plan identified
many of the same issues as the Overton Study Committee and more particularly indicated
that the City should develop creative public/private joint development opportunities and
provide public improvements as incentives for development .
In the late 1990's the McDougal Companies, a local developer, presented a plan to the
City that would redevelop about 90% of the North Overton area. The developer
petitioned the City to establish a Tax Increment Financing Reinvestment Zone (Zone) to
provide the necessary public funds to finance the construction of public infrastructure.
City staff, working with the developer, prepared a list of public infrastructure projects to
stimulate and enhance the redevelopment of North Overton.
It is expected that the planned expenditure of approximately $40.4 million for public
infrastructure improvements within the Zone will result in future
development/redevelopment which will increase the taxable value by approximately
$373.9 million over the Zone's 30-year life.
As set forth in Section 311.011 of the Tax Increment Financing Act of the Tax Code, the
Project Plan for the North Overton Area Tax Increment Finance Reinvestment Zone,
Lubbock, Texas must and does include the following elements:
1. A map showing existing uses and conditions of real property in the Zone and a
map showing proposed improvements to and proposed uses of the property.
Attached as Exhibit A is a map showing existing uses of real property in the Zone and
attached as Exhibit B is a map indicating locations of newly constructed or proposed
public improvements in the Zone.

2. Proposed changes of zoning ordinances, the master plan of the municipality,
building codes, and other municipal ordinances.
No changes have been made to the master plan of the municipality, building codes, or
other ordinances. Zoning ordinances have been modified to provide architectural
guidelines and special zoning considerations to provide for redevelopment of the
North Overton area as a pedestrian -oriented, neo-traditional development.
3. A list of estimated non -project costs.
Non -project costs within the Zone are those development costs not paid for by the
Zone. These costs will include. but are not limited to, $3$7.3 million of new
development. The detailed list of estimated non -project costs from 2004 through
2020 are included as Exhibit C.
4. A statement of a method of relocating persons to be displaced as a result of
implementing the plan.
In the process of developing and redeveloping the Zone, it is not contemplated there
will be any involuntary relocations. However, it may be necessary to relocate
individuals and businesses through voluntary buyout. In the event that this is
required, the City or private developer will follow the procedures that would be used
in the development or construction of other public or private improvements outside
the Zone.

City of Lubbock, TX
North Overton Tax Increment Financing Reinvestment Zone
Fifth Amended Finance Plan
December 2009
The Financing Plan provides information on the projected impact that the North Overton Tax
Increment Financing Reinvestment Zone (Zone) could have on the property illustrated in
Appendix A. It also describes how that impact could be utilized to enhance the area and region
through leveraging the resources of each entity that participate in the project.
Below is a summary of the Financing Plan items required by law:
1. A detailed list describing the estimated project costs of the zone, including
administrative costs.
The total project costs over the life of the zone will be approximately $62.3 million, not
including interest payments on debt service. The detailed list of projects is included in
Appendix B.
2. A statement listing the kind, number, and location of all proposed public works or
public improvements in the zone.
• Capital costs, including the actual costs of the acquisition and construction of public
works, public improvements, new buildings, structures, and fixtures; the actual costs of
the acquisition, demolition, alteration, remodeling, repair, or reconstruction of existing
buildings, structures, and fixtures; and the actual costs of the acquisition of land and
equipment and the clearing and grading of land;
• Financing costs, including all interest paid to holders of evidences of indebtedness or
other obligations issued to pay for project costs and any premium paid over the principal
amount of the obligations because of the redemption of the obligations before maturity;
• Any real property assembly costs;
• Professional service costs, including those incurred for architectural, planning,
engineering, and legal advice and services;
• Any relocation costs;
• Organizational costs, including costs of conducting environmental impact studies or other
studies, the cost of publicizing the creation of the Zone, and the cost of implementing the
project plan for the Zone;
• Interest before, during and after construction, whether or not capitalized;
• The amount of any contributions made by the municipality from general revenue for the
implementation of the project plan;

• Payments made at the discretion of the governing body of the municipality that the
municipality finds necessary or convenient to the creation of the Zone or to the
implementation of the project plans for the Zone.
• All public improvements or public works projects will be in the area shown on the map in
Appendix A.
3. Economic Feasibility Study.
• An economic feasibility study has been completed and is included as a part of this
Financing Plan as Appendix C.
4. The estimated amount of bonded indebtedness to be incurred.
• The debt capacity produced from the estimated tax increment should yield approximately
$40.4 million in funding capacity.
5. The time when related costs or monetary obligations are to be incurred.
• Related costs and monetary obligations have been incurred with each bond issue,
beginning with the first bond issuance in FY 2005.
6. A description of the methods of financing all estimated project costs and the expected
sources of revenue to finance or pay project costs including the percentage of tax
increment to be derived from the property taxes of each taxing unit on real property in
the Zone.
• Project costs will be financed using certificates of obligation with the revenue source
provided by tax increment funds received, hotel/motel taxes, and revenues generated by
contractual agreements within the Zone. The percentage of tax increment to be derived
from the property taxes of each taxing unit participating in the Zone is 100%.

CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION
Overview
The vision for Overton Park is to create a livable mixed -use
community with unique character and charm in the heart of
Lubbock, Texas. The community will be built around pedestrian
friendly streets with large canopy trees and pedestrian
connections to public transportation, shopping, restaurants,
a neighborhood park, downtown Lubbock and Texas Tech
University.
The Overton Park development will include two primary types of
land uses and densities as illustrated on in Figure 1: "Overton
Park Proposed Land Use." In general, the western segment
of Overton Park is proposed to be a commercial, mixed -use,
and/or high -density residential area of development that will
allow multiple needs to be met in a concentrated area. For the
purposes of this document, this area will be called "Mixed Use."
The single-family residential neighborhood is to be located in the
eastern portion of the development, anchored by Pioneer Park
and Ramirez Elementary School. In this document, this area will
be referred to as "Low -Density Residential."
The two areas are intersected by a grid of gateway streets
providing a transportation and organizational framework for the
neighborhood. Although the different land use areas are roughly
defined geographically (mixed -use and high -density residential
on the west, single-family on the east), the guidelines in this
document are designed to apply wherever those types of land
uses appear. More specific information about each of the land
use densities and street types is found in the "Mixed -Use Area
Guidelines" and "Low -Density Residential Area Guidelines"
Chapters.
This document, The Overton Park Site Design Guidelines, is
part of a series of documents that will help the City of Lubbock,
McDougal Companies, and other developers, builders and
tenants reach this vision. The documents described in the
following sections provide a comprehensive design concept for
Overton Park.

The Documents
A complex development project such as Overton Park needs a
variety of documents, both guidelines and binding agreements,
to meet the needs of all parties. Figure 2: "Overton Park
Review Process" outlines the interrelationship of all of these
documents.
Two documents contain design standards for the development.
The Overton Park Design Guidelines are generally for the
private properties within the project and this document, The
Overton Park Public Improvements Design Guidelines, are
largely for the public spaces and right-of-way. A typical land
development project in the Overton Park project will include
references to both documents:
• OVERTON PARK DESIGN GUIDELINES, a product of the
McDougal Companies, control the relationship between
architecture and site improvements on the privately owned
lots of the development. These guidelines detail appropriate
architectural styles, architectural massing, facade materials
and colors, acceptable accessory structures, signage,
building and site lighting, and walkway, driveway and
landscaping requirements within the boundaries of private
property. The McDougal Companies' Overton Park Design
Review Committee will meet as needed to review plans.
Elements from this private site plan review committee's
findings may be incorporated into the zone case for each
property, adding a level of oversight by the City of Lubbock.

the public portions of the project. These guidelines will apply
within the Tax Increment Finance District (TIF) boundary.
Figure 3: "Tax Increment Finance District Boundary"
illustrates the current TIF boundary.
Three additional documents provide enforcement mechanisms
through a variety of legal means:
• DEED RESTRICTIONS are limitations within a deed that
control the use of the property. Deed restrictions travel with
the property title, and cannot generally be removed by new
owners. Deed restrictions may cover topics as diverse as
maximum floor area to land area ratio, maximum building
height, building setbacks, permissible building uses,
parking standards, site access locations, building location
requirements, building elevation requirements including
acceptable exterior materials, accessory structures, signage,
landscape, site lighting, and other design requirements. The
McDougal Companies will place deed restrictions on each
property in Overton Park as part of the sale.
• ZONING ORDINANCE. As each piece of property in the
development is rezoned, a requirement due to consolidation
of parcels, street and alley closings and changing uses
of the property, specific details from each of the above
documents may be included in the zone case for a particular
piece of land. This adds an additional level of review and
enforcement by the City of Lubbock.
• DEVELOPER'S AGREEMENT BETWEEN DEVELOPERS
AND THE NORTH OVERTON TAX INCREMENT FINANCE
DISTRICT. Whenever Tax Increment Finance (TIF) District
funds are to be expended on public improvements adjacent
to a parcel of land in Overton Park, the developer and
the TIF District Board sign a Developer's Agreement that
outlines the responsibilities of each party. This binding
agreement also may incorporate specific details from each of
the above documents. If a Public Improvement District (PID)
is created for Overton Park, similar agreements may be
used.
Using the Overton Park Public
Improvements Site Design Guidelines
Property owners planning projects in or adjacent to the right-
of-way should hold a pre -application conference with the City
of Lubbock Senior Planner. Prior to issuance of a permit or
agreement, the Senior Planner, in consultation with other city
staff members, will determine if the proposed project meets the
intent of the Overton Park Public Improvements Site Design
Guidelines.
If the Senior Planner determines that a proposal contains
unique circumstances that cannot be accommodated by the
standards of the Overton Park Public Improvements Site
Design Guidelines, the plans will be referred to the Urban
Design and Historic Preservation Commission (UDHPC). Upon
recommendation by the Commission, the Senior Planner may
vary the requirements of the Site Design Guidelines so long
Overton Park Public Improvements Site Design Guidelines 5
Exhibit F
as the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance or any other
applicable codes are not altered. Even if recommended by
the UDHPC, the Zoning Board of Adjustment must approve
variances from requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. Any
variations from any other city codes must follow the review and
appeal process in that code.
History of North Overton
The Overton Addition to the City of Lubbock was established
in 1907 on a tract of land just west of the existing "town site."
It was the first major real estate operation in town, offering the
opportunity to double the size of the existing village. Lots offered
by Dr. M.C. Overton sold at a steady pace, but a good portion
of the land was sold in large tracts for future development. The
first houses were built in 1907. Broadway, the main street of the
addition, became a fashionable street on which many prominent
Lubbock residents built their homes.
By the 1920's, the Overton Addition became an integrated
part of Lubbock through paving projects and the annexation
of all its land to the City. The opening of Texas Technological
College along the western boundary of the neighborhood in
1925 enhanced the development. As a result, the western
part of Overton served the new college population. Boarding
houses dotted the area and a variety of businesses catering
to the college trade developed along College Avenue (now
University Avenue). Tech professors and staff also built homes
conveniently located to their work.
The neighborhood that developed fully by late 1930's was
generally middle class, with home ownership predominating.
Most of the North Overton houses still standing in 2000 were
constructed before 1940, and many were from the initial years
of the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) loan programs.
The post-war attendance boom at Texas Tech created a
shortage of student housing. Although non -conforming
apartments were not legal under the city zoning ordinances,
there was a tacit agreement between homeowners and the
City of Lubbock that allowed the conversion and leasing of
apartments without permits or conformity to city building codes.
This decision created many of the substandard units that
plagued the North Overton neighborhood throughout its later
years. Rental property became an important part of the Overton
scene as an increasing number of owners moved to south and
southwest Lubbock. Owners continued to convert garages into
apartment and subdivide houses, and the population density of
the neighborhood increased.
By 1960, rising enrollment at Texas Tech encouraged a rash
of apartment buildings. Most apartment complexes in the area
were built before the 1975 zoning ordinance placed increased
parking and landscaping requirements on such developments.
This influx of rental housing eliminated much single-family
housing, causing traffic and parking congestion, and introduced
a transient population that weakened the stability of the area.
Speculation became an important part of the real estate market
in North Overton, where whole blocks of houses were bought
up in anticipation of massive profits from apartment complexes.
Overton Park Public Improvements Site Design Guidelines 6
Exhibit F
Spot zoning began to destroy the stability of the neighborhood
as the threat of encroaching high -density apartments and large
concentrations of college students frightened older residents
into selling out.
By the 1980's, the Lubbock City Council recognized that the
passage of time, market trends, and land use changes had
created severe pressures on North Overton, and felt there was
an urgent need to analyze the problems and potential of the
area. As a result, the Council appointed the Overton North Study
Committee in 1982. In general, the Committee noted that in the
1970's and 1980's:
• North Overton had changed from a fairly stable single-family
residential neighborhood to a high -density, renter -occupied,
deteriorating area;
• Increased out of town ownership and/or management of
housing, both apartments and single-family rentals had
diluted pride of ownership in the area;
• Apartment complexes with inadequate parking were
scattered across the area, isolating single-family residences
and increasing congestion;
• Weeds, abandoned vehicles and trash were common; and
• Crime statistics were high.
In spite of the efforts of this Committee, conditions in North
Overton changed little over the next two decades. Deterioration,
vandalism, overcrowding, and crime were the words people
typically used to describe the area.
The McDougal Companies and Overton Park
In July 1999, Delbert McDougal, Chief Executive Officer of
McDougal Companies, announced plans for "The Centre."
This massive project for the more than 300 acre North Overton
area is the largest privately funded redevelopment project
in the nation. The area will include mixed -use development,
apartments, and single-family residential. Plans continue to
evolve for the area now known as Overton Park. According to
the Lubbock Avalanche -Journal, a completed Overton Park will
return $200-300 million worth of taxable structures to the rolls,
which will benefit the city, county and Lubbock Independent
School District.
Demolition of existing properties began on the west end of the
project, nearest Texas Tech. The first project to be built was a
240-unit student housing complex owned by Sterling University
Properties that opened in 2003. Construction is underway for
another similar project for the same company just west of the
current facility.
By mid-2003, demolition of most existing buildings was
complete west of Avenue U. In the Fall of 2003, McDougal Cos.
broke ground on The Centre at Overton Park, a $26 million
hybrid retail/apartment complex that will serve as the gateway
to the area. Completion of the 618,000 square foot building
is expected by Spring 2005. The facility will include ground
floor retail space, 288 apartment units and a four-story parking
garage. Other facilities, including a City Bank branch, will begin
construction by the end of 2003.

CHAPTER 2: OVERTON PARK
CHARACTER AND ORGANIZATION
Introduction
One way that the vision for Overton Park will be realized is by
establishing a framework of gateway streets and entrances
with a cohesive landscape and streetscape theme. A variety of
methods will reinforce the idea that Overton Park is a special
place, including gateway monuments and public art, distinctive
landscape features, and use of coordinated pavement, lighting,
benches and other amenities along these gateway streets.
Street Tree Framework
In order to establish a consistent design concept for public
spaces in Overton Park, Figure 4: "Street Tree Framework
Plan," specifies specific tree species for each interior street and
at each intersection. Public improvement designs for University
Avenue and Marsha Sharp Freeway will be developed at a later
date.
There are generally four areas where trees are located in
Overton Park: on private property, in planter pockets in the
right-of-way in mixed -used areas, in the parkway in low -density
residential areas, and in bulb -outs between on -street parking
areas on selected streets. See Figure 5: "Public Landscape
Areas by Type."
Figure 6: "Street Tree Intersection Detail," illustrates the
transition between tree species at intersections. Bulb -outs may
be planted with ornamental trees or with the tree specified in the
Street Tree Framework, depending on spacing.
A list of approved trees for each category is included in
Appendix B.
Street Tree Planting Guidelines
The following general street tree guidelines apply to all streets in
Overton Park and should be used with Figure 4: "Street Tree
Framework Plan" in developing landscape plans.
• Street trees are required along all streets in Overton Park.
Plant street trees generally 25' on center along a street block
with allowance for variations in spacing for curb cuts, alleys
and drives. Trees must be aligned and in straight rows,
parallel to the curb and centered in the space in which they
are planted. Align trees across the street and space them
evenly along the block in relationship to each other and to
the street centerline.
• Figure 4: "Street Tree Framework Plan" designates street
tree species to be used throughout Overton Park. Trees
must have a minimum 3" caliper as measured by standard
nursery practices.

All street trees shall be irrigated. Irrigation systems must
be installed and tested prior to the installation of any plant
material.
Existing trees and their root systems should be protected
during construction through the use of barricades and
fencing.
All trees in the right-of-way should be pruned so that no
foliage is less than 6 feet from the ground. No trees may be
planted in the visibility triangle as defined in the Lubbock
Code of Ordinances, Section 29-30(i) See Figure 6: "Street
Tree Intersection Detail" and Figure 7: "Right -of -Way

• The preferred condition for placement of street trees in
Mixed Use areas is in planter pockets surrounded by hard
surface paving materials. The minimum size of a planter
pocket is 4'x8' but when space allows, the planter pocket
shall be 5'xl 0'. See Figure 8: "Planter Pocket Detail."
• The preferred condition for placement of street trees in
Low -Density Residential areas is that the tree be centered
in landscaping in the parkway. The parkway is defined as
the area between the back of curb and the face of sidewalk.
Hard surface materials are only allowed in residential
parkways for driveways and sidewalk access to a residential
yard. See Figure 9: "Parkway Detail."
Bulb -outs may be installed along certain streets for traffic
calming and to delineate parking spaces. Generally, bulb -
outs should be spaced 50 feet on center, though variations
may occur due to utilities and other obstructions. Bulb -
outs should be 12 feet parallel to the flow of traffic and 6
feet deep behind the curb line to allow adequate space for
a 4-foot by 8-foot planter bed surrounded by a 24" wide
hardscape apron. If street right-of-way does not allow for
these dimensions, bulb -outs must be at least 6 feet square
to accommodate a 4-foot square tree grate with a 24"
hardscape apron. See Figure 10: "Bulb -out Detail."

Right -of -Way Landscape Guidelines
The following general landscape guidelines apply to all streets
in Overton Park. Coordination of landscape and paving
materials in adjacent public and private areas will be detailed
in the Developer-TIF Developer's Agreement and/or the Zoning
Ordinance for a particular piece of property where necessary.
• All plant material shall be irrigated. Irrigation systems must
be installed and tested prior to the installation of any plant
material. Irrigation systems should utilize drip irrigation,
subsurface irrigation or other water conserving methods or
technologies where possible.
• Plantings should be a combination of turf and planting beds
containing low maintenance shrubs, ornamental grasses
and groundcovers. Climatically adapted plant species
should predominate for hardiness in urban conditions and to
minimize maintenance. See Appendix B for a list of approved
plant materials for Overton Park.
• Turf should be used in Low -Density Residential parkways
and may be used in other planting areas exceeding 400
square feet.
• Trees, shrubs, ornamental grasses and groundcovers of the
same species should be massed in groupings. Individual
plants should only be singularly planted when the intent is to
highlight the species due to its unique color or form.
• A balance of trees, shrubs, ornamental grasses and
groundcover is encouraged.
The use of flowering or brightly colored foliage will create
color and interest. Seasonal color is encouraged as an
accent to permanent bed plantings.
• The use of shade trees in and around surface parking lots,
streets and other large areas of paving is encouraged. The
use of deciduous trees on south and west sides of buildings
and public use areas add shade in the summer and allow
filtered light in the winter.
• Horizontal and vertical layering of plant material creates
spatial dimension and interest. Planting layers should
differentiate between height, color, texture, contrast and
movement.
Plant materials other than trees in the right-of-way may not
exceed 2 to 3 feet in height as required by the Lubbock Code
of Ordinances, Section 29-30(i). See Figure 7: "Right -of -
Way Landscape Visibility Requirements."
• Dress planting beds with a minimum of 3" of shredded cedar
bark mulch to retain soil moisture, establish healthy root
systems and reduce weeds.

Street Signage
Standard street signs, stop signs, parking signs, and directional
and informational signs should be coordinated to establish the
Overton Park neighborhood character. The careful placement
of such signage to ensure a clear pedestrian pathway is also
important.
Street Sign and Other Signage Standard Requirements:
A decorative logo indicative of the Overton Park District
will be included on each street number or name sign, and
decorative metal finial will cap each sign pole. Designs for
both will be provided by the City of Lubbock.
Street sign and traffic control poles will be painted to match
the Landscape Forms "Stormcloud"
benches and trash receptacles in the
District. Matching color is Sherwin
Williams SW2140 "Sealskin" High
Gloss Enamel.
• Street signs shall be green with whit
lettering. Sign material shall conforrr

standards.
Exhibit F
the rest of the street amenities. See Figure 11: "Typical
Street Signage." However, all devices must be installed in
accordance with the latest edition of the Texas Manual of
Uniform Traffic Control Devices.
Bus Stop Shelter
Bus stop structures may be located on gateway streets or in
the Mixed Use areas. In Overton Park, shelters should relate
architecturally to their surroundings and serve as focal points
for the urban environment. Materials shall be compatible with
those specified in the deed restrictions and design standards for
the surrounding properties. Bus shelter plans must be approved
by the City of Lubbock during the permit and contract review
process detailed in Chapter 1. See Figure 12: "Bus Shelter
Concept."
Figure 12 - Bus Shelter Concept
• Installation Requirements: Signs
should be installed in a visually
Figure 11 - Typical
pleasing manner that coordinates with Street Signage
Overton Park Public Improvements Site Design Guidelines 16
Exhibit F
Utilities
Traffic signal boxes, transformers, telephone switching boxes
and other utility structures should be located underground
if possible. When they cannot be located underground they
should be located out of important view corridors or entry points
to buildings and screened behind plantings, fences or walls.
Utilities should be placed to avoid trees and not disrupt their
alignment or spacing.

CHAPTER 3: OVERTON PARK
GATEWAYS AND GATEWAY
STREETS
Neighborhood Gateways
Gateways are entry points that create neighborhood identity and
are mainly ceremonial in nature. They offer the opportunity to
identify and distinguish one community from another through the
use of architectural monuments and/or special treatments within
the public right-of-way. They are important because they give
the first impression of the community.
Gateway entry points receive special treatment, including
monuments such as walls or archways, plantings, lighting,
specialty paving and other related improvements to make them
distinctive and unique in character.
Overton Park has two primary gateway entry points at the
intersections of Glenna Goodacre Boulevard (formerly 8th
Street) and University Avenue and Glenna Goodacre Boulevard
and Avenue Q. The location of these primary gateways on each
end of Glenna Goodacre Boulevard, which will have a wide
right-of-way width and be a divided boulevard with a landscaped
median, offers a unique opportunity to create a distinguished
gateway feature with special materials and unique detailing.
The design and detailing of these gateway features will be
developed as TIF funds are available for construction.
Four secondary gateway entry points are located on less
important entrances to the neighborhood. The intersections
of the Marsha Sharp Freeway and Avenue U, Broadway
Figure 13 - Examples of Secondary Gateway
Markers
Overton Park Public Improvements Site Design Guidelines 78
Exhibit F
and Avenue U, 6th Street and Avenue Q and 6th Street and
University Avenue are all secondary gateway entry points.
Secondary gateway entry points should be of a similar nature
and character as the primary gateway entry points but of
a lesser scale and articulation. Figure 13: "Examples of
Secondary Gateway Markers" shows some examples in other
cities.
Gateway Streets
Gateway streets, marked by gateway features, are the major
through streets connecting Overton Park to downtown, Texas
Tech University, The Marsha Sharp Freeway and Broadway.
Gateway streets have higher volume vehicular carrying
capacities and designated bicycle lanes. Because of their traffic
carrying capacity, these streets should have less frequent
vehicular access points, i.e. curb cuts. The primary gateway
street in Overton Park is Glenna Goodacre Boulevard (formerly
8th Street), which will be a boulevard divided by a landscaped
median and have other special features signifying its role. Other
gateway streets are Sixth Street and Avenue U, which fully
traverse the development. See Figure 14: "Gateway Streets."
Special pedestrian crossings, including different paving, will add
to the visual diversity of the street and promote safety. Specialty
paving will further define the intersections. See Figure 15:
"Typical Gateway Street Pedestrian Crossing."

Glenna Goodacre Boulevard (8th Street)
Glenna Goodacre Boulevard, formerly Eighth Street, is the
primary gateway street connecting Overton Park to downtown
Lubbock and Texas Tech University. It is the backbone of the
community, with a landscaped median, wider right-of-way and
unique conditions and features. Major gateway features will
anchor the street at its intersection with University Avenue
and Avenue Q. The Glenna Goodacre Boulevard right-of-way
supports two vehicular lanes in each direction and on street
parking in both directions. See:
• Section A: "Glenna Goodacre Boulevard Mixed Use"
• Section B: "Glenna Goodacre Boulevard Low -Density
Residential. "

Because it is a major area of visual interest, it is very important
that the median have a coordinated look, from landscaping
to planting to other street amenities. Large canopy trees
will line each side of the median, which will have a bicycle
and pedestrian path down the center. The median will not
accommodate turn lanes.
A bicycle/pedestrian path in the median will add to the
visual diversity of Glenna Goodacre Boulevard and promote
safety. Where the bicycle and pedestrian path intersects a
street, crossing markers and specialty paving will define the
intersection. Crossings will include bollards and appropriate
signage. See Figure 16: "Glenna Goodacre Boulevard
Median Pedestrian and Bicycle Crossing."
Figure 76 - Glenna Goodacre Boulevard Median
Pedestrian and Bicycle Crossing
The general guidelines for street tree planting and the specific
guidelines for landscaping for gateway streets detailed earlier in
this Chapter will apply to Glenna Goodacre Boulevard. Because
of its prominent position within the development, the boulevard
will also have additional enhancements as noted below:
Glenna Goodacre Boulevard Amenities
Although the adjacent block faces along Glenna Goodacre
Boulevard will be landscaped according to the general
area in which they are located (Mixed Use or Single -Family
Residential), it is important that the boulevard median have
continuity along its length to create a distinct and coordinated
atmosphere for the major street of the development.
• A double row of trees in the Glenna Goodacre Boulevard
median will be planted according to the planting plan
developed during the street design. An example of how
the median might look is found in Figure 17: "Glenna
Goodacre Boulevard Median Planting Concept."
Specialty paving, such as enhanced crosswalk treatments,
as specified in the mixed -use Section of this document
should be used along the length of Glenna Goodacre
Boulevard.
Increased levels of pedestrian and vehicular lighting, street
furnishings and other amenities should distinguish this
major street from the rest of the master plan. In addition
to the benches, trash receptacles and bike racks in the
Overton Park Public Improvements Site Design Guidelines 22
Exhibit F
Figure 77 - Glenna Goodacre Boulevard Median
Planting Concept
commercial, mixed -use, high -density residential portion of
the Glenna Goodacre Boulevard, the following amenities are
to be placed in every block of the median:
—Four benches
—Two trash receptacles
—One bicycle rack
Glenna Goodacre Boulevard Pedestrian and
Vehicular Lighting Guidelines
Lighting is important both for safety and for the ambiance of
the neighborhood. Pedestrian level lighting further reinforces
the human scale of the neighborhood and encourages outdoor
activity. Appropriate lighting levels enhance activities such as
outdoor dining. Pedestrian and vehicular light standards are
specified in Appendix A - Site Furnishings Standards.
• Pedestrian light poles should generally be spaced evenly
in relationship to the street trees and planter pockets or
parkway. They should be located every 75 feet along each
side of the street and on alternating sides of the median.
Vehicular lighting should be spaced every 200 feet along
each side of the length of Glenna Goodacre Boulevard.
• Both pedestrian and vehicular poles should include
provisions for mounting banners and lighted seasonal
decorations.
• Provision for electrical receptacles integrated into the
poles for power at each pedestrian and vehicular lighting
pole should be included in the lighting design for Glenna
Goodacre Boulevard.
Glenna Goodacre Boulevard Ellipse
An unusual intersection occurs in Overton Park at Glenna
Goodacre Boulevard and Avenue T south of Ramirez
Elementary School. Widening of the right-of-way at this point
produces a variation in the Glenna Goodacre Boulevard
median in the form of an ellipse. It is envisioned that the ellipse
will continue the features of the Glenna Goodacre Boulevard
median, including the bicycle and pedestrian path, along with
additional enhancements. The resulting space will highlight
Overton Park Public Improvements Site Design Guidelines 23

the school entrance and further enhance the residential
neighborhood. Figure 18: "Ellipse Design Concept" details
ideas for ellipse design.

Sixth Street and Avenue U
Sixth Street and Avenue U are secondary gateway streets,
connecting Overton Park to downtown at the Civic Center,
Texas Tech University at Jones SBC Stadium, the Marsha
Sharp Freeway and Broadway. Gateway monument features
will be created at these entries into the neighborhood, though at
a lesser scale and detail than the primary gateway monument
features at Glenna Goodacre Boulevard,
The undivided right-of-way on these streets supports one
vehicular lane and one bicycle lane in each direction. 6th
Street and Avenue U both include on -street parking in both
directions. Specialty paving at intersections will further delineate
these gateway streets. The general guidelines for street tree
planting and the specific guidelines for landscaping for gateway
streets detailed earlier in this Chapter will apply to 6th Street
and Avenue U. Lighting and streetscape amenity standards
for 6th Street and Avenue U should be applied according to
the adjacent land use Section (Mixed -Use or Low -Density
Residential). See:
• Section C: "Sixth Street Mixed -Use,"
• Section D: Sixth Street Mixed Use and Low -Density
Residential",
• Section E: " Low -Density Residential," and

Rotaries
Rotaries, or traffic round-abouts, are planned for several
intersections on gateway streets for traffic calming and
improved traffic circulation. Often surrounded by special paving
treatments, rotaries are focal points in the urban fabric that
enhance the unique character of the neighborhood and further
contribute to neighborhood identity. Features such as obelisks,
public art, and enhanced landscape features should be used
at the center of the rotaries. See Figure 19: "Rotary Design
Concept" for examples of rotaries.
Rotaries should be designed as raised features with a "platform"
type of base and taller features in the center. This creates visual
screening of the axis of the intersecting roads, which further
slows traffic on long straight stretches of street. The center
should be the highest elevation and features placed there
should be used for visually enriching the environment as well
WAMM
Figure 19 - Rotary Design Concept
as screening the adjacent streets. Rotaries are not intended for
pedestrian access.
However, they should be surrounded by a sloped five-foot
decorative hard surface edge for improved emergency vehicle
access.
From a circulation perspective, rotaries in Overton Park
provide an efficient and safe way of slowing vehicular traffic.
Traffic Engineering studies show that the net effect of a rotary
intersection, which slows traffic without actually stopping it, is
that slower speeds are sustained for about one half -block. In
comparison, vehicles leaving a stop sign often speed from the
stop. Rotaries tend to discourage cut -through traffic, which will
be an asset to the planned pedestrian -oriented residential area.
Public Art and Ornamentation
Public art is a major component in creating a community's
visual image and can also contribute to a sense of unique
neighborhood identity. Public art is an element that makes
places memorable. In Overton Park, public scale sculpture,
architectural trellises, obelisks, pavilions and similar symbolic
structures will add interest to the neighborhood if used along
the Glenna Goodacre Boulevard median and ellipse and at the
center of rotaries.
Overton Park Public Improvements Site Design Guidelines 27
Exhibit F
CHAPTER 4: MIXED USE AREA
GUIDELINES
The western portion of Overton Park is proposed to be a
commercial, mixed -use and high -density area of development.
However, these guidelines would apply to any area of the
development designated as commercial, mixed -use or as multi-
family residential. For convenience sake, these land uses are
referred to as "Mixed Use" in this document.
Traditional freestanding commercial uses will be found primarily
along University Avenue. Mixed -use development allows
multiple needs to be met in a concentrated area by combining
retail, office and multi -family residential on a single development
lot. The concept of retail on the first floor and residential on the
upper floors, as opposed to retail in large shopping malls, allows
for a pedestrian friendly community.
It is essential that high -density housing is located within walking
distance of commercial and retail uses for the master plan to
function as designed. Because of its location near Texas Tech
University, downtown Lubbock, and the Marsha Sharp Freeway,
the new development will attract interest and draw people to it,
creating potential for growth in number and diversity of business
opportunities and destinations.
Streetscape Design Guidelines
In the mixed -use and multi -family areas of Overton Park, the
streets include amenities and activities conducive to an active
and energetic urban setting. The combination of retail, office
and residential uses serves as the catalyst to activate the
street. Wide sidewalks, street trees and furnishings, extensive
landscaping and use of a variety of hard surface materials add
visual interest to the streetscape.
Streets in the mixed -use, high -density residential areas carry
vehicular traffic at slower speeds than the gateway streets. They
include on -street parking for adjacent businesses and generous
sidewalks to accommodate high volumes of pedestrian traffic.
Enhanced pedestrian crossings at intersections allow for
pedestrian movement and help to slow traffic.
The relationship between public spaces (street and sidewalk)
and private spaces (buildings and outdoor courtyards and
dining areas) is particularly important in areas of high pedestrian
movement. Buildings should be set back a minimum of 7
feet to as much as 14 feet from the property line to create an
urban atmosphere conducive to on -street activities. However,
a continuous street wall is encouraged. Buildings close to
the property line give the street a sense of enclosure and
containment. Increased setback of portions of an individual
building could allow special entry courts and outside seating and
dining.
Overton Park Public Improvements Site Design Guidelines 28
The right-of-way may be used for seating and tables as long
as a minimum 5-foot pedestrian walkway is kept clear between
the seating and any landscaping in the right-of-way. Such use
will require a permit from the City of Lubbock. Coordination of
landscape and paving materials between the public and private
areas of each block will be addressed in the Developer-TIF
Developer's Agreement and in each zone case.
Exhibit F
See:
The following graphics illustrate both the design concepts
discussed above and specific guidelines detailed below for each
of the streets of the Mixed Use area. Differences in the graphics
are primarily due to differing conditions, particularly right-of-way
widths.

Sidewalk and Specialty Paving Design
Guidelines
Sidewalks and related pavement elements such as cross walks
direct movement, define space and provide for safety. Specialty
paving adds visual interest and articulate special landscape
features.
In Overton Park, differing paving patterns and materials will
identify and separate the different zones of the sidewalk
environment. For example, different brick patterns or different
materials from the primary walkway should be used in the area
between planter pockets. Sidewalk surfaces should present a
consistent and unifying element in the district. Sidewalks will be
built to existing City of Lubbock construction standards, though
the Lubbock Building Board of Appeals can consider alternate
styles.
• The clear pedestrian path of the sidewalks in mixed -used
areas of Overton Park should be at least 5 feet wide, with a
total width (including planter pockets) of 9 to 10 feet or more.
• Brick pavers should comprise 50 percent of the sidewalk
surface area. Brick patterns should be consistent within
sidewalk zones by block, for example, one pattern for the
primary walkway and one pattern for the area between the
planter pockets. See Figure 20: "Brick Pattern Examples"
and Figure 21: "Sidewalk Design Concept" Sidewalk
design and materials will be approved as part of the permit
or contract review process.

• Obstructions such as water meter vaults or covers, plumbing Pedestrian and Vehicular Lighting
clean outs, or any utility equipment should not be located
within the sidewalk, and are best located in a planting bed.
• Specialty paving should be used to extend the sidewalk
visually across the street at intersections. All crosswalks
shall be brick with concrete banding. See Figure 22:
"Crosswalk Detail."
Figure 22 - Crosswalk Detail
Streetscape Amenities
Street furnishings and other amenities conducive to high
levels of pedestrian activity should be located in this area. The
following amenities are to be placed on each block face:
• Two benches
• Two trash receptacles
• One bicycle rack
Guidelines
Lighting is important both for safety and for the ambiance of
the neighborhood. Pedestrian level lighting further reinforces
the human scale of the neighborhood and encourages outdoor
activity. Appropriate lighting levels enhance activities such as
outdoor dining. Pedestrian and vehicular light standards are
specified in Appendix A.
• Pedestrian light poles should generally be spaced evenly
in relationship to the street trees and planter pockets or
parkway. They should be located every 75 feet along each
side of the street and on alternating sides of the median.
• Vehicular lighting should be spaced generally every 300
feet along each side of each street, with lighting at each
intersection.
• Both pedestrian and vehicular poles should include
provisions for mounting banners and lighted seasonal
decorations.
Fencing Guidelines
Fencing is primarily designed to separate public and private
spaces. However, the types and heights of fencing contribute
to the overall cohesiveness and "feel" of the neighborhood.
Although fences are located on private property, their
appearance has a great impact on the adjacent public spaces.
Overton Park Public Improvements Site Design Guidelines 33
Exhibit F
The details of fencing adjacent to the public right-of-way may be
negotiated in the Developer-TIF Developer's Agreement and the
rezoning of the property according to these guidelines:
Only fences comprised of materials such as masonry, cast
stone or wrought iron may be used in mixed -used, high -
density residential areas. Ornamentation and pattern is
encouraged.
No chain -link fencing is allowed unless fully screened from
public areas and neighboring properties. (Example: a chain
link dog run in a fully enclosed back yard.)
• Long stretches of fencing should have offsets or variations in
setback of at least 2 feet every 50 feet.
• Holders of alcoholic beverage permits are required to
separate outdoor patio areas from the sidewalk according to
TABC regulations. These fences and gates must also follow
the above guidelines.
• The Lubbock Zoning Code governs the height and location
of fences in the front yard and for corner lots.
Screening, Buffering and Separation
Guidelines
It is important to create separation between spaces, define
boundaries, buffer nuisances and screen unsightly objects.
Such screening should separate parking areas from pedestrian
areas and conceal uses such as dumpsters.
Parking Lot Screening
• When parking cannot be placed to the rear of the main
building, the parking areas shall be screened by a three (3)
foot high fence set back at least six (6) feet from the front
property line. Where parking structures or lots are adjacent
to buildings, a landscape buffer is encouraged.
• The required fencing should be constructed of brick, stone,
wood, stuccoed concrete masonry units or wrought iron.
All fencing which is visible from a public area should be
architecturally compatible with the primary structure.
The area between the fence and property line must be
landscaped. Landscaping should include a mix of plant
materials for year-round greenery. The use of seasonal color
is encouraged. Except for trees, landscaping should not
exceed the height of the screening fence.
• No trees may be planted in the visibility triangle as defined
in the Lubbock Code of Ordinances, Section 29-30(i).
See Figure 7: "Right -of -Way Landscape Visibility
Requirements." (Page 12)
Overton Park Public Improvements Site Design Guidelines 34
Exhibit F
Other screening
• All above grade utilities, trash dumpsters and trash
compactors shall be completely screened with structures
that allow for service as well as screening. Each screening
structure should be coordinated with the respective utility or
service that is affected prior to being constructed.
• Screening fences must be constructed of brick, stone,
decorative concrete masonry units, stuccoed concrete
masonry units, or ornamental metal (wrought iron, or steel or
aluminum bars).
• Enhanced entries into entrances, front or rear, with walls,
gates or trellises, are encouraged.
• All surface parking lots and parking structures shall be
screened with a planting buffer at the sidewalk or finish
grade level.

CHAPTER 5: LOW DENSITY
RESIDENTIAL AREA
A single-family residential neighborhood is proposed to be
located in the eastern portion of Overton Park, though these
guidelines would apply to any area designated as low density
residential. Pioneer Park and Ramirez Elementary are centrally
located in the residential neighborhood, allowing these open
spaces to be shared by the entire neighborhood. The park
provides a central gathering place for all residents, young
and old alike, to interact, enjoy one another, and connect as
a community. Bike paths located along gateway streets will
enhance access to these open spaces.
The Overton Park Design Guidelines Handbook, a separate
development document provided by the McDougal Companies,
provides more specific information about residential lot coverage
and architectural styles. Residential gardens and backyards
as well as common spaces with generous landscaping
and sidewalks contribute to the project goal of creating an
environment that is green and beautiful. Variety in terms of size,
type, and architectural style of the houses will create a visually
stimulating and architecturally satisfying environment.
Streetscape Design Guidelines
In Overton Park, narrow vehicular lanes with on -street parking
characterize residential streets. Parkways allow for wide canopy
trees, sidewalks encourage pedestrian activity, and shallow,
well -landscaped front yards further contribute to the feeling of a
cohesive residential community, distinguishing the area from a
typical suburban development.
The following graphics illustrate both the design concepts
discussed above and specific guidelines detailed below for each
of the streets of the Low -Density Residential area. Differences in
the graphics are primarily due to differing conditions, particularly
right-of-way widths. See:
• Section E: "Low -Density Residential,"
• Section J: "Avenue V Mixed Use and Low -Density
Residential" and
• Section L: "Avenues R, S and T—Low-Density
Residential".
Appendix C is the key map for the location of these sections.
Sidewalk Design Guidelines
Concrete sidewalks with brick edging will be a cohesive element
of the residential community. Sidewalks will be built to existing
City of Lubbock construction standards unless the Lubbock
Building Board of Appeals approves an alternative.
• Sidewalks in the residential area will be 5 feet wide. Brick
cross bands should be located at all sidewalk intersections,
whether public (at block corners) or private (residential
walkways). See Figure 23: "Low -Density Residential
Sidewalk Details."

• Obstructions such as mailboxes, water meter vaults or
covers, plumbing clean outs, or any utility equipment should
not be located within the sidewalk, and are best located in a
planting bed.
Streetscape Amenities
Street furnishings and other amenities are not required in the
residential area. If such amenities are to be provided, they
should follow the guidelines contained in the Mixed Use section.
Overton Park Public Improvements Site Design Guidelines 37
Exhibit F
Pedestrian and Vehicular Lighting
Guidelines
Lighting is important both for safety and for the ambiance of
the neighborhood. Pedestrian level lighting further reinforces
the human scale of the neighborhood and encourages outdoor
activity. Pedestrian and vehicular light standards are specified in
the Appendix. •
• Pedestrian light poles should generally be spaced evenly
in relationship to the street trees and planter pockets or
parkway. They should be located every 200 feet along each
side of the street.
• Vehicular lighting should be generally spaced every 300 feet
alternating along each side of each street.
Fencing Guidelines
Fencing is primarily designed to separate public and private
spaces. However, the types and heights of fencing contribute to
the overall cohesiveness and "feel" of the neighborhood.
• Only fences comprised of materials such as masonry,
cast stone or wrought iron may be used in any front yard.
Corner lot side yard fences adjacent to a street may be a
combination of wood and masonry.
• Ornamentation and pattern is encouraged.
Other fences may be constructed of wood, but must be
constructed using metal posts with a concrete footing. No -
chain link fencing is allowed unless fully screened from
public areas and neighboring properties. (Example: a chain
link dog run in a fully enclosed back yard.)
Any wood fencing shall be redwood or cedar and shall have
a flat wood cap and band. No pickets are allowed.
• The Lubbock Zoning Code governs the height and location
of fences in the front yard and for corner lots.
Overton Park Public Improvements Site Design Guidelines 38
APPENDIX A: SITE FURNISHINGS
STANDARDS
Site furnishings are a fundamental component to the success
of the street and neighborhood. Furnishings allow places to
sit, deposit trash and park bicycles. They provide light and
information, both directional and identity. Site furnishings
establish a community's character and identity. The following
standards will establish consistent and distinctive site
furnishings throughout the neighborhoods. Quantities and
spacing of these amenities are specified in each Chapter.
Brick Paver
Brick pavers are required to add warmth and color and a
distintive character to the neighborhood.
Approved Brick Paver
• Fired Clay Brick Paver
Manufactured by: Kansas Brick & Tile Co., Hoisington,
Kansas, 800-999-0480

Exhibit F
Benches
Benches can be placed in a variety of locations as long as they
do not interfere with pedestrian circulation. Two bench styles are
approved for variety in the streetscape, but all benches will be
the same color and made of metal. Finishes must include rust
inhibitors and be resistant to UV light, chipping and flaking.
Approved Benches
• Landscape Forms "Plainwell" Bench with Aluminum Seat and
Center Arm; minimum 72 inch length; "Stormcloud" Color
• Landscape Forms "Scarborough" Bench, Backed or
Backless with Woven Seat and Center Arm; Minimum 72
inch Length; "Stormcloud" Color

Trash Receptacles
Trash receptacles shall be placed near benches, retail
entrances and bus stops, but not placed right next to them due
to unpleasant odors. Trash receptacles must be made of metal.
Finishes must include rust inhibitors and be resistant to UV light,
chipping and flaking.
Approved Trash Receptacle
• Landscape Forms "Scarborough" Top Opening, Vertical
Strap Side Panel Trash Receptacle in "Stormcloud" color
Figure 26 - Approved Trash Receptacle
Bicycle Racks
To encourage bicycle transportation, bicycle racks should be
provided on all mixed -used and multi -family residential streets
at key locations within the public right of way. Bicycle parking
should be located near building entrances without blocking
pedestrian circulation. Bicycle parking should be placed in clear
view of storefront windows and near pedestrian level lighting
to provide for informal surveillance. Bike racks shall be placed
so that no part of the bicycle extends within 2'/' of the face of
curb where on -street parking occurs. Finishes must include rust
inhibitors and be resistant to UV light, chipping and flaking.

Tree Grates
In rare instances where planter pockets cannot be of a size
of sufficient space for plants, a cast iron tree grate may be
used. The use of tree grates shall be approved prior to their
installation.
Approved Tree Grate
• Ironsmith: "Conquistador 2". Color shall be natural unfinished
gray iron.
Figure 28 - Approved Tree Grate
Trench Grates
Trench grates are encouraged for use in site drainage in order
to keep water from accumulating on pedestrian surfaces or
in areas where surface drainage cannot adequately move
water. Ideally, any major drainage from property adjacent to the
right-of-way should be diverted under or through sidewalks as
much as possible to minimize the impact of drainage over the
pedestrian areas.
Two trench grate systems are approved for use in the Overton
Park Area. The first is a solid -faced trench cover that should be
used if drainage in the trench has head pressure. An example of
this type of drainage would be roof drains from adjacent building
roofs. The trench cover must have a solid face in order to keep
water from pushing through the trench face onto pedestrian
pavements. The second approved trench grate system is a
perforated grate system that will allow water without head
pressure to flow through the trench and/or water into the trench
through the perforated openings.
Approved Solid Faced Trench Grates
■ Urban Accessories "Title Waves" grate with no perforations
through the face of the grate. Color shall be natural
unfinished gray iron.
■ Bass and Hays "Heavy Duty Trench Frame and Cover' with
diamond pattern finish. Color shall be natural unfinished gray
iron.

* Open face Trench Grates will need to be chosen for each
design scenario to comply with ADA guidelines.
Figure 29 - Approved Trench Gate
Vehicular & Pedestrian Lighting
Lighting is important both for safety and for the ambiance of
the neighborhood. Pedestrian level lighting further reinforces
the human scale of the neighborhood and encourages outdoor
activity. Three levels of lighting poles have been selected to
provide flexibility in the public right-of-way: a low bollard pole,
a medium pedestrian light pole and a tall vehicular or roadway
lighting pole. In addition, a coordinating wall -mounted fixture is
provided for use on private properties adjacent to the right-of-
way.
• Outdoor lighting shall include full cutoff and cutoff lighting
fixtures as defined by the Illuminating Engineering Society of
North America (IES).
• All vehicular and pedestrian lighting in the Overton Park TIF
District shall be metal halide to provide a white -colored light
that is excellent for color clarity.
• Poles for vehicular and pedestrian lighting in the Overton
Park TIF District shall be spun concrete poles with an
exposed aggregate finish.
• Vehicular lighting poles along Glenna Goodacre Boulevard
will include both inserts for banner arms and an outdoor -
rated GFCI outlet mounted at the base of the lower banner
arm for holiday lighting. Both the banner arms and the GFCI
outlet can be "spun" into the standard poles and may be
used in other areas in Overton Park if so desired.
