Addressing Remaining Issues with Downtown Zoning
The adoption of the UDC set the stage for addressing some persistent zoning issues
inside the Central Business District TIF. The shift from use-based to form-based zoning
changes the paradigm in much of the CBD TIF, but not in all of it. Moreover, despite
stakeholder input during the UDC creation process, the zoning classifications in the new
MU districts are overly complex - a vestige of "CB- " district zoning.
This is a proposal to address the following issues:
• MU districts that create distinctions without meaningful districts
• Areas in an MU district that might best be served in another MU district
• Areas of the CBD TIF that were not in "CB- " districts, and thus are not in MU
districts
MU DISTRICTS AS ADOPTED
The UDC, as adopted, establishes new MU districts follow the boundaries of the "CB- "
districts. Relevant to the CBD TIF, CB-2 became MU-2, CB-3 became MU-3, CB-4
became MU-4, CB-5 became MU-5, and CB-6 became MU-6.'

Through the UDC process, I made multiple attempts to encourage a simplification of the
districts. My primary motivations to do so were i) a read of the proposed MU districts
creating differences without distinctions, ii) a feeling that the physical fabric of DT was
not so broadly different to justify the additional complexity, and iii) a belief, recognized
during the Downtown Master Plan Update process, that the "district" mindset was
sometimes a hindrance.
An example of how the UDC presents the physical parameters of the MU Districts in the
CBD TIF is attached are Exhibit "A".''
I inventoried the physical parameters of the MU districts in the CBD TIF:

MU-4 and MU-6 are identical. MU-3 varies by a single parameter.
As a general concept, uses are less restricted in a form-based environment. Form-based
equates to a primary concern with the look, or form, of the district, rather than a focus
on uses. Nonetheless, uses in the UDC are generally outlined in the Land Use Matrix, a
copy of which is attached as Exhibit "B".`'' This is true of the MU districts in the CBD TIF.
There are well over 100 use types in the UDC. Differences exist between MU-3, MU-4,
and MU-6 in only thirteen of those use types.
DOWNTOWN AMENDMENT 1A:
1) Redesignate anything zoned MU-4 and MU-6 as MU-3
a) In Table 39.02.003-1 Change the "Former Zoning District" Column cell for MU-3
to read, "CB-3, CB-4/MU-4, CB-6/MU-6"; AND
b) In Table 39.02.003-1, Delete the rows for "Depot (MU-4)" and "Arts (MU-6)"; AND
c) Replace the contents of Subsection 39.02.005.e and Subsection 39.02.005.g with
"Reserved".
2) Change Subsection 39.02.005.d.3 such that the Maximum Front Built-to-Zone in
MU-3 shall be 10'.
3) In Table 39.02.016-1 make the Single-Family Detached Dwelling use L in MU-3, and
add L criteria (to Subsection 39.02.018.c.7 to state:
"7. General (MU-3)
a) Only Single-Family Detached Dwelling is allowed on a blockface developed for
Single-Family Detached Dwellings; and
b) Notwithstanding Subsection 39.02.005.d.3, the Maximum Front Build-to-Zone for
a Single-Family Detached Dwelling use is 25'."
4) In Table 39.02.016-1 delete the columns for MU-4 and MU-6
5) In Table 39.02.016-1 change the P to L for Alcoholic Beverages, Off-Site
Consumption (Package Store) and add an L criteria (to Subsection 39.02.018.h.4 to
state:
"4. General (MU-3) the Package Store shall meet all state and other separation
requirements and be located a minimum of 300 feet, measured from property line to

MU AREAS /N THE CBD TIF THAT WOULD BE BETTER SERVED IN OTHER MU DISTR/CTS
MU-2 was drafted to describe and encompass a particularly dense environment. The
Downtown Master Plan Update describes similar features on Ave J north of Broadway
and on Buddy Holly south of Broadway. However, the former CB-2 district enveloped a
larger area.
DOWNTOWN AMENDMENT 1 B:
Redesignate anything zoned MU-2 north of 10th St. as MU-3.
1) In Table 39.02.003-1 add to the "Former Zoning District" Column cell for MU-3
to read, "CB-2/MU-2 located north of 10�h Street"
Redesignate anything zoned MU-2 south of 13`h St. and west of Texas Ave. as MU-3.
2) In Table 39.02.003-1 add to the "Former Zoning District" Column cell for MU-3
to read, "CB-2/MU-2 located south of 13'h and west of Texas Avenue"
NON-MU AREAS /N THE CBD TIF
There exists a vestige of HC (Heavy Commercial) on the eastern edge of the CBD TIF.
DOWNTOWN AMENDMENT 1 C:
Redesignate anything zoned HC inside the CBD TIF as MU-3
1) In Table 39.02.003-1 add to the "Former Zoning District" Column cell for MU-3
to read, "HC located within the CBD TIF"
(Note, "grandfathering" of existing uses is handled in Subsection 39.01.010.)
As a result of the above, the final version of "Former Zoning District" Column cell for
MU-3 should read:
"CB-2/MU-2 located north of 10'h Street, CB-2/MU-2 located south of 13'h and west of
Texas Avenue, CB-3, CB-4/MU-4, CB-6/MU-6, HC located within the CBD TIF"

Example of restaurant with outdoor dining in MU-4 Depot district
The MU-4 Depot district is a unique and diverse area of downtown
lubbock which primarily serves as an entertainment district with art
galleries as well as artisan or micromanufacturing. Priority is placed
on optimizing the physical characteristics of the built environment
for increased walkability and a vibrant center building upon the
historic character of Lubbock's neighborhood main streets. To
maximize vibrancy and walkability, this district permits an intensity
and mix of uses that are already in existence along Buddy Holly
Avenue. This district supports the small-scale fine-grained character
of the historic neighborhoods with a mix of attached and detached
mixed-use buildings on small lots. Buildings are close to the
sidewalk and off-street parking is screened from public spaces.

Recommendations on the
Proposed UDC Amendments
August 30, 2023
1. Section 39.02.006.a.3 — Lot Density and Dimensions
Explanation: The intent of the UDC language was to create a path to zero-lot line garden office projects.
The issue is not with those projects, but with undefined discretion for the Planning Director in the
language. Let's remove discretion and replace it with objecfive criteria.
: Amend Section 39.02.006.a.3 to read:
"Lot Density and Dimensions. All developments in the NC district shall be in accordance with Table
39.02.006.a-2, NC Lot Intensity and Dimensions. Maximum building heights and minimum setbacks
are for principal structures. For multi-lot developments with common parking areas or party-wall
styled construcfion, minimum lot width shall be 20 feet and minimum lot area shall be 1,000 square
feet."
Make this same change to Section39.02.006.b.3
2. Section 39.02.020.e.1.A.ii — Accessory Dwelling Unit, Applicability, Previously Existing Accessory
Dwelling Units
Explanation: Under the current language, if one has an existing ADU -(a) if it's "registered" under prior
code, it's legal non-conforming/grandfathered; (b) if it meets the design criteria of the UDC, it's legal; to
(c) if neither a or b, then it's not legal.
: Make no change to the current language.
3. Section 39.03.021.a.2 —Signs Exempt From Regulation, Generally. [No comments]
4. Section 39.02.014 — Reduction Overlay (RO)
Explanation: Most of the changes are clarifications/clean-up. There are two minor tweaks — i) we should
clarify/codify that ROs are not matters for ZBA, and ii) we should allow a parcel owners to prohibit even
the Specific Use possibility of billboards.
Reinsert Section 39.02.014.b.4.iii to read, "Approval of a Reduction Overlay shall not require approval of
the Zoning Board of Adjustment."
Reinsert Section 39.02.014.c to read, "The Reduction Overlay District may prohibit billboards, even if
allowed in the base zoning district." And renumber the balance of the section
5. Section 39.04 — Subdivision Standards and Section 39.07 — Development Review Procedures
Explanation: There are several "categories" of tweaks/clean up items.
a. Explanation: (PDF Page 368) Traditionally, PZC has been the board responsible for plats
: Amend Table 39.07.012-1 to provide for appeals on plat items to PZC.

d. Explanation: (PDF Page 392) The language is vague.
: Amend Section 39.07.040.4 to read, "Water and schematic layouts sufFicient to
demonstrate how the proposed lots will be served by public water and sewer."
Make similar changes to the Checklists.
e. Explanation: (PDF Page 392) For small lots, scale could be any standard engineering scale ranging from
1"=10' to 1"=60'.
Amend Section 39.07.040 Document Requirements 2 to read, "Drawn to standard engineering scales
ranging from 1"=10' to 1"=100'. 1"=200' scale is allowed for plats larger than 100 acres only when all
information illustrated on the plat is clearly legible on the printed full-size plat"
Amend Section 39.07.041.5 Document Requirements 6 to read, "Drawn to standard engineering scales
ranging from 1"=10' to 1"=100'. 1"=200' scale is allowed for plats larger than 100 acres only when all
information illustrated on the plat is clearly legible on the printed full-size plat"
Make similar changes to the Checklists.
f. Explonation: (PDF Page 392) The language is vague.
Amend Section 39.07.040 Document Requirements 8 to read, "The Preliminary Plat must be tied by survey
to a section corner of the section in which the plat is located, or when the proposed subdivision ..."
Amend Section 39.07.041.c.8 to read, "Control for a Final Plat shall be established by one of the following
methods. (1) The Final Plat may be tied by survey to a section corner of the section in which the plat is
located; or (2) When the approved subdivision abuts ..."
Make similar changes to the Checklists.
g. Explanation: (PDF Page 392) Good idea, but applicants need a public source of data.
Amend Section 39.07.040 Document Requirements 12 to read, "...If the abutting land has a current
approved Preliminary Plat, it shall be shown on the proposed Preliminary Plat to the extent such
information is available on City GIS;"
Make similar changes to the Checklists.
h. Explanation: (PDF Page 396) item 5.1 - This references a preliminary plat "...signed by the Director of
Planning....".
: This section does not need to be reworded, but a requi�ement for an approval
signature block should be added to the preplat requirements to align with this final plat requirement.
Make the same adjustment to the preplat checklist.
i. Explanation: (PDF Page 397) Item 25 — This requires a plat to be signed by a surveyor prior to submission.
A plat must have been surveyed in accordance with the sub-regs before a surveyor can sign the plat. That
means there is no ability for a review a draft copy of the plat prior to spending large amounts of money to
survey a residential plat. We need to have a review before we've expended that much time and money.
Amend Section 39.07.041 Document Requirements 25 to read, "The following surveyor's certificate shall
be placed on every Final Plat. Final Plats presented for recording shall be signed and sealed by the
surveyor"

6. Notification Boundary — 39.07.007(a) Public Notice
Explanation: The Texas Local Government Code (211.006.d.2 & 211.007.c) does not say "at least 200 feet",
it says 200 feet. 1 think HB 2127 (Texas Regulatory Consistency Act) probably pre-empts the proposed
amendment. The amendment language exposes the entire process to litigation.
: Make no change to the current language.
7. Definition of "Family" — 39.10.002 Definitions
Explanation: Current language reflects the recommendation of staff and the UDC consultant. Reducing the
number treats people differently based on marital and family status. People with different circumstances
have different access to housing. ThaYs unseemly.
: Make no change to the current language.
8. Section 39.02.016 — Land Use Matrix, Table 39.02.016-1 — Permitted Uses by District, Table

Explanation: We ought not to be making these projects more difficult. Infrastructure is a need, not a want.
If design concerns are driving this, make L criteria on design.

12. Table 39.04.005-1— Minimum Connection Spacing by Street Classification

removes any ambiguity.

DATE: August 21, 2023
RE: Proposed UDC Amendments, Item 10, Discussion of HDR District: Proposal to limit
application of Vertical Mixed-Use standard of HDR District to avoid authorizing 75'
buildings in residential neighborhoods
This proposal ensures that the UDC does not, due to one problematic standard of the new High Density Residential
(HDR) zone, authorize construction of 75' tall buildings in lots formerly zoned as A-2/R-3 (High Density Apt.). A
quick glance at Lubbock's current zoning map shows the radical nature of this shift. As currently written, the UDC
would authorize 75' tall buildings on every lot color-coded light green. Many of these lots are in residential
neighborhoods.
The HDR zone includes three subdivision types—Conventional, Village, and Mixed-Use. Subsection 39.02.004.e.
Each of these subdivisions provides two or more standards to regulate various types of buildings. In particular, the
Mixed-Use subdivision contains three standards for: (a) Single-Family Detached, Cottage, or Garden Home; (b)
Live-Work; and (c) Vertical Mixed-Use. Id.
With one exception, the standards applicable in the HDR zone authorize heights that are broadly consistent with the
A-2/R-3 zone of the old code. See, e.g., Table 39.02.004.e-2 (authorizing 45' apt. buildings in the Village
subdivision). Compare § 40.03.681 (imposing 40' height limit in A-2 zone).
By contrast, the Vertical Mixed-Use standard of the Mixed-Use subdivision sets a default limit of 75'. Table
39.02.004.e-2. In addition, whereas a 40% lot coverage limit has applied in the A-2/R-3 zone, the Vertical Mixed-
Use standard imposes no such limit at all. ld.
It also bears emphasis that the Mixed-Use subdivision of the HDR zone falls into a regulatory gap. The UDC divides
districts into Base Mixed-Use and Base Residential categories. The UDC imposes extensive regulations on Mixed-
Uses in Base Mixed-Use districts. See Subsection 39.02.00S.a (General Mixed-Use Standards). For instance,
specific regulations govern setbacks and height for infill development in such districts. Subsection 39.02.00S.a.4.A-
B. These regulations do not apply to the Mixed-Use standard of the HDR zone as it is a Base Residential district.
Mixed-Use in the HDR zone is essentially undefined.
In sum, application of the Vertical Mixed-Use standard of the HDR zone to lots formerly zoned as A-2/R-3 would
nearly double the height of authorized buildings, massively expand permissible footprints, and avoid regulations
applicable to other types of Mixed-Use.
We respectfully propose addressing this problem by barring application of the Vertical Mixed-Use standard of the
Mixed-Use subdivision of the HDR zone on any block that is zoned to include single-family residential housing.
This provision would simply be saying that a lot owner may not, without obtaining special permission from the
City, build a 75' tall building dominating a residential neighborhood.
More specifically, we propose amending 39.02.004.e 4., governing lot density and dimensions in the HDR zone, to
add the underlined, highlighted language:
4. Lot Density and Dimensions [in HDR zone]
A. Residential. All residential and mixed-use developments in the HDR district shall be in accordance with
Table 39.02.004.e-2, HDR Lot Density and Dimensions, based on subdivision and building type. Maximum
building heights and minimum setbacks are for principal structures. Where a minimum front setback is less
than 20 feet, a front-loaded garage shall have a minimum setback of 20 feet and the remainder of the
building may meet the minimum setback that is less than 20 feet.
1. Limit on Vertical Mixed-Use in Residential Neighborhoods. The standard for Vertical Mixed-Use in
the Mixed-Use_subdivision shall_not apply_ on a_block containin�one or_more lots zoned for RE�SF-l.

I move to amend the following provisions of the UDC ordinance
before us regarding parking requirements for apartments.
Currently, tables 39.02.004.d-3; 39.02.004.e-3; and 39.03.009-1
state the following for the "Number of Required Parking Spaces"
for an Apartment and Vertical Mixed Use:
Apartment: (on a113 tables)
1 per DU (dwelling unit) with 1 bedroom or per efficiency unit
1.25 per DU with 2 bedrooms
2 per DU with 3+ bedrooms
Vertical Mixed Use: (on tables 39.02.004.e-3 and 39.03.009-1)
0.5 per DU
I move to amend said requirements to the following:
1 per each efficiency DU,
1.5 per DU with 1 bedroom,

Good afternoon, my name is Dora Cortez
I live at 217 N. Ave. O and I also represent the North and
East Lubbock Coalition.
I am here this afternoon proposing that changes be made
to the already approved UDC and the zoning map.
�We are proposing that the abandonment ordinance for
nonconforming use wh�ch was approved for 12 months be
reconsidered and changed to 6 months. These buildings
located in our neighborhoods are unsafe and unsightly.
We also recommend that the city set aside sufficient
� funding to improve or remove abandoned and blighted
structures on the industrial land and that the city rezones it
to something suitable for our communities.
Also, downzone currently vacant, abandoned, or
� nonoperational light industrial and general industrial in the
� C zoning map within 500 yards of residential
development.
One of these pi�tures shows PYCO located on 34th and
Avenue A. The picture was taken in front of the Carver
Child Care Center located on 26th and Elm.
The second picture is a concrete batch company that
borders my neighborhood. It has been cited by TCEQ for
emitting too much pollution. This facility is not the only
plant that is next to our neighborhood. As I typed my
speech I could hear the trucks at Bedrock Crushing
moving around, something we hear every day.
We also recommend that you downzone tracts that are
zoned light industrial and general industrial in the UDC
zoning map that are NOT identified as industrial in the
2040 FLUM. For example Wilbert Funeral Services
located across the street from Cavazos Middle School is
not industrial in the 2040 FLUM, but is zoned industrial in
the UDC zoning map.
Further, we recommend that you allocate sufficient funding
' to comply with SB 929 which says how a city might
�
� terminate a nonconforming use
We want to make sure that nonconforming or
grandfathered industrial structures and/or facilities could
be eventually terminated and removed from our
neighborhoods.
All these things are possible. How do I know #his, because
The 2040 Plan recommended downzoning a considerable
portion of M-1 zoning to commercial in South Lubbock
around the vicinity of the newly constructed McAlister
Park. This area has been zoned M-1 for decades, yet that
parcel of land has never had the same kind of heavy
industry that is next #o our neighborhoods. And now the
city has allocated $1.5 million in American Rescue Plan
funds to build a$1.8 million pickle ball park in McAlister
Park.
The 2040 Plan called to disallow the expansion of
industrial zoning in North and East Lubbock. Yet when
LEDA asked the council to annex and rezone to M-2
zoning a11 those acres of land in East Lubbock for the
Leprino Cheese Factory, the council unanimousiy voted for
the zoning change even though it contradicted the 2040
Plan.
North and East Lubbock residents feel that broken
promises is what they get instead of Do what you say.
My famify has called North Lubbock home for six
generations. My grandmother had no education and my
mother only had a third grade education. They were busy
raising a family and didn't have the toois, the power, or the
time to fight the decisions that were being made about
their neighborhoods. That responsibility now falls on us
and we need each one of you to champion our
neighborhoods. Do the right thing. � 1����� ��

I am here to ay to ask for revisions to the residential codes regarding R1 zoned
single family residences.
The UDC documeni does not substantially alter the exisfing Article 40.01 of the
current codes. When these codes were enacted there was no internet, no food
trucks and trailers, no short term rentals and no federally mandated group homes.
However, times have changed and those codes have not addressed these issues
critical to residenfial neighborhoods.
According to Chapter 40.01 customary home occupations there can be no exterior
storage of materials, equipment or supplies allowed on the premises. The way
around this is to load your products on a trailer and store it that way. Mr. Walker
has assured me during my visits with him that this is "transporting goods and
services" and is allowed. There was an oversized trailer parked at a residence in
my neighborhood that did not move for over a year, but still considered
"transporting goods and services". Right now in my neighborhood at 380168ch
street there is an Hawaiian ice food truck parked in front, at 3803 68t" there are 2
trailers full of bouncy houses and at 3805 68th there is hamburger food truck. At
3403 53� there is a concrete business operating with heavy equipment stored on
trailers and parked in the drive. What started as one business operafing illegally
has now turned into 3, which has always been my concern. Those trailers parked
in the street are all over the size limit stated in the codes but are exempt because
they are "transporting goods and services". This loop hole in the codes needs to be
removed. Afl trailers are designed to transport things. Giving a pass to businesses
to allow them to iliegally operate in residenfial neighborhoods is not in the spirit of
the law. Please remove the "transporting goods and services" stateme�t from the
UDC.
According to code only one commercial vehicle is allowed per residence.
According to Mr. Walker if the vehicle does not have a phone number or web site
or something linking it directly to the address it is not a commercial vehicle.
According to section 153 any trailer or vehicle whose basic purpose is to advertise
whether located on or off premise is considered advertising a business. There is a
residence in my neighborhood that has two large vehicles that have the wrap type
advertising on them and should not be allowed. This needs to be made clear in the
UDC that if a vehicle or trailer has a Business name on it, it must be considered a
commercial vehicle and only one allowed per residence, including street parking.
Mr. Walker brought up the use of government vehicles. These are not commercial
vehicles and would not be included in the revision of this code.
Another area of conce�n is the location of group homes. These appear to be
federally mandated. I would like city ordinances to regulate the placement of
these businesses so that each district has an equal number of these businesses.
There is a distance limit on these businesses, but not on the number and
distribufion of them. A group home has appeared on my block much to the dismay
of all my neighbors. There was no nofice given and no input asked for when this
business was allowed. A certificate of occupancy is not required. When a variance
was requested by the business to increase the number of occupants but not
increase the parking spaces we all received a notice of the hearing. Then the city
attorney pulled the request from the P&Z hearing with no notice or reason given to
us. We are all concerned as to the effect this business will have on our property
values.
Short term rentals have been area of contention in Lubbock. The city of Dallas
recently passed an ordinance prohibiting the establishment of these businesses in
residenfial zoned districts in the city. If this could be done in Dallas I am hoping it
can done in Lubbock.
A home is the largest investment most people make. It is i�cumbent on the City of
Lubbock and this council to protect this investment. Property tax is the biggest
source of revenue for the city. The value of homes in R1 zoned areas needs to be
protected by changes to the residential codes and strict enforcement of these
revised codes.
Recent events have highlighted cidzens concerns for protecting their reside�fial
neighborhoods. As elected officials you are sworn to represent the cifizens of
Lubbock, the majority of cifizens, not a very few developers and businesses. It is
my hope that you will enact these changes to the UDC to protect Lubbock's existing
residential neighbochoods.
