PLAT TN EXTRATERRITORIAL JURISDICTION Requirement to Plat in Extraterritorial Jurisdiction of the City -Subdivision of property for development within the Extraterritorial Jurisdiction of the City of Lubbock shall be approved by the Lubbock Planning and Zoning Commission in accordance with these regulations, except that Sections 25-6-8-2. through 6. shall not apply. G. PROCEDURE FOR SECURING CLOSURE OF STREETS OR ALLEYS Prior to the final passage of any street or alley closure ordinance, if the proponent is not the City, there shall be required a plat of record approved by the Commission for such street or alley in its closed state. Section 25-4. Design Standards A. STREETS Streets in Lubbock serve two major functions, traffic movement and drainage. The subdivider shall consider the impact of any proposed development on each of these functions: 1. The arrangement, character, extent, width, grade, and location of all streets shall conform to the Master Thoroughfare Plan and other Master Plans of the City and shall be considered in their relation to existing and planned streets, to topographical conditions, to public convenience and safety, end in their appropriate relation to the proposed uses of the land to be served by such streets. 2. Where such is not shown in the Master Thoroughfare Plan, the arrangement of streets in a subdivision shall either: a. Provide for the continuation of appropriate projection of existing principal streets in surrounding areas; or -10 - ~· '. b. Conform to a plan for a neighborhood approved or adopted by the Planning Commission to meet a particular situation where topographical or other conditions make continuance or conformance to existing streets impractical. 3. The subdivider shall assume responsibility for providing a plan which continues all thoroughfare and collector streets in accordance with the current Master Thoroughfare Plan. The proposal shall provide for continuity of the Street Naming Ordinance No. 924, as amended, and shall consider all existing and potential development adjacent and abutting the proposed plat. 4. Where a subdivision abuts or contains an existing or proposed thoroughfare or greater street, the subdivider shall provide for abutting lots to side on the street in question. When the Commission deems such situations inadvisable, the Commission may require marginal access streets, reverse frontage, deep lots with rear service alleys, or such other treatment as may be necessary for adequate protection of residential properties and to afford separation of through and local traffic. When double or reverse frontage occurs, the plat shall indicate that the lesser desig- nated street frontage involved will provide primary access to the lots in question. 5. Where a subdivision borders on or contains a railroad right- of-way or limited access highway right-of-way, the Planning Commission may require a street approximately parallel to and on each side of such right-of-way, at a distance suitable for the appropriate uses of the intervening land. Such distances shall also be determined with due regard for the requirements of approach and future grade separations. 6. Street design with center line offsets of less than one hundred twenty-five (125) feet shall be avoided, and considered by the Commission only when specific circumstances dictate a need for less offset. 7. Street intersections shall be as near to right angles as pos- sible, and four-way intersections of residential streets shall be avoided unless recommended by the City Engineer for drainage purposes. B. At each street intersection, the right of way line at each block corner shall be rounded with a curve or radius of not less than fifteen (15) feet. -11 - 'c 't .. 9. Street right-of-way width shall conform with Table 25-A, which is made a part hereof, copies of which shall be kept in the office of the Secretary of the Planning and Zoning Commission and open to public inspection. 10. The option of the R-1a (32 foot street) in residential areas shall be limited to cul de sac, loop, or "l" shaped streets which will serve primarily or solely the residences of that street. Such streets shall have no intersection with other through streets except at one or both ends. Such streets shall not be aligned with other streets with the R-1 residential width. Examples of when such streets shall or shall not be allowed are illustrated in Table 25-B, which is made a part hereof. Copies of which shall be kept in the office of the Secretary of the Planning and Zoning Commission and open to public inspection. The City Engineer shall determine that the reduced right-of-way will not create a flood hazard within the drainage system established for the immediate area. 11. Half streets shall be allowed only where essential to the reasonable development of the subdivision and with approval of the city engineer (Section 24-153), and where the Planning Commission finds it will be practical to require the dedication of the other half when the adjoining property is subdivided. Wherever a half street is adjacent to an unsubdivided tract, the other half of the street shall be dedicated when the adjacent tract is platted. 12. When half-width paving is approved, the subdivider shall obtain a working easement from the adjacent landowner for installation of the half-street paving improvements. Approval by the City Engineer shall be required for half-width paving where full dedication exists. 13. Dead-end streets may be platted where the Planning Commission deems desirable and where the land adjoins property not subdivi- ded, in which case the streets shall be carried to the boundaries thereof. 14. Cul-de-sac streets shall not be longer than six hundred (600) feet and shall be provided at the closed end with a turn-around having an outside right-of-way diameter of at least one-hundred (100) feet. Length of cul-de-sac streets is encouraged to be no greater than three hundred thirty (330) feet. Cul-de-sac streets shall be measured from the mid-point of the closest intersection to the center of the radius. -12 - '· '·. 15. In consideration of the drainage function of streets, when cul-de-sac or dead-end streets abut undeveloped property, the subdivider shall be responsible for obtaining drainage easements onto or through abutting property sufficient to insure drainage of the proposed development. 16. Cul-de-sac streets, whether containing a drainage easement or not, shall be platted with pedestrian access easement (a minimum of four (4) feet in width) from the cul-de-sac to the abutting street. A fence shall not block such access. Refer to the Lubbock Zoning Ordinance for fence height specifications. 17. Sidewalks are required under Chapter 24 of this Code, and shall be constructed and maintained. Installation is not a requirement prior to final plat. 18. Islands shall be allowed in public streets only when approved by the City Council. B. ALLEYS 1. Alleys shall be provided in commercial and industrial districts, except that the Planning Commission may waive this requirement where other definite and assured provision is made for service access. 2. In residential districts, alleys shall be provided parallel or approximately parallel to the frontage of all streets. 3. The width of any alley shall be twenty (20) feet. 4. Where two (2) alleys intersect, a cut-off of not less than ten (10) feet along each right of way line from the normal inter- section of those right of way lines shall be provided. 5. Dead-end alleys shall be avoided where possible, but if unavoid- able, shall be provided with turn-around facilities at the dead end as determined by the Planning Commission. 6. Alleys shall be arranged to assure proper drainage. C. PRIMARY ACCESS ALLEYS Certain development projects may use rear access. In these cases, consideration must be provided for the primary access and secondary access function being combined on the alley. The standard twenty (20) foot alley is not designed to facilitate both. Therefore, when rear access is proposed the developer shall provide: -13 - . . 1. A standard twenty (20) foot alley shall be dedicated with a three (3) foot utility, garbage collection, and access easement on each side of the alley proposed for rear access. No portion of a primary access alley easement or alley shall be fenced. 2. The primary access alley shall be paved to specifications of the City Engineering Department. The paving shall consist of a ten (10) foot paved section in the center of the right-of-way. A wider paving cross section may be installed with approval of the City Engineer. 3. The developer shall insure the installation of all public utility services and utility service taps to the property line prior to preparation for and actual paving of the alley. Tap locations shall be properly identified for future location. Every vehi- cular access to the alley paving shall be paved. 4. Within each block face of townhome development proposed for rear entry access, a paved vehicular ten (10) foot minimum access easement from the paved alley to the adjacent street shall be provided for each two hundred fifty (250) feet of development. Maintenance of such access easements shall remain a private responsibility. The Building Official shall not approve a final inspection of any structure within a two hundred fifty (250) foot development until at least one (1) of the abutting access easements is paved and complete. The Building Official shall not approve a final inspection for the structure constructed on the final remaining development lot in each two hundred fifty (250) foot development until the second abutting paved access is complete. 5. Each access easement provided in 25-4-C-4 shall have a concrete paved cut-off of not less than eight (8) feet along the paved alley line and the access easement line from the normal inter- section of the access easement and the alley paving. 6. Each development block approved for rear access, when the Planning Commission shall require paving as a plat condition, shall have the alley paved to City specifications or have submitted an approved paving contract and surety bond or irre- vocable letter of credit to the City Engineer prior to filing of the final plat. 7. Where a primary access alley intersects a public street, a dedicated right-of-way cut-off of not less than ten (10) feet along each property line from the normal intersection of the property lines shall be provided. -14 - i, ~ ', 8. Primary access alleys shall not intersect T-1 or T-2 Thoroughfare streets. D. BLOCKS 1. The lengths, width, and shapes of blocks shall be determined with due regard to: a. Provisions of adequate building sites suitable to the special needs of the type of use contemplated. b. Zoning requirements as to lot sizes and dimensions. Blocks proposed for townhouses and zero lot line (patio homes) development shall be stated on the face of the plat. c. Needs for convenient access, circulation, control, and safety of street traffic. In areas where residential streets intersect, four-way intersections shall be avoided, not withstanding conditions stated in (d). d. Limitations and opportunities of topography. Not only shall conditions within the proposed plat be considered, but also adjacent and abutting properties whether platted or unplat- ted. 2. Block length and depth shall relate directly to conditions, opportunities, and constraints for creating the greatest benefit to traffic circulation, safety, drainage, and zoning. 3. Cul-de-sac streets shall not exceed six hundred (600) feet in length, and are encouraged to not be greater than three hundred thirty (330) feet in length, from the center of the radius to the centerline of the nearest intersection. 4. In all subdivisions, sidewalks shall be required in the parkway as specified in Sidewalk Ordinance No. 4371 (as amended), (Chapter 24). Construction of sidewalks is not a requirement prior to final plat. E. LOTS 1. The lot size, width, shape, and orientation shall be appropriate for the location of the subdivision and for the type of develop- ment and use contemplated. 2. Lot dimensions shall conform to the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. -15 - ' ' 1 3. Each lot shall front upon a public street or, when approved by the Planning Commission or Zoning Board of Adjustment, the lots may front onto an access easement that has access to a public street. 4. Double frontage and reverse frontage lots shall be avoided, except where essential to provide separation of residential development from traffic thoroughfares or to overcome specific disadvantages of topography and orientation. The frontage providing a primary access to any residential lot or tract shall be the lesser designation of the two streets involved, and the primary access frontage of the lot shall be clearly stated on the face of the plat. 5. Side lot lines shall be substantially at right angles or radial to street lines. 6. Where the area is divided into larger lots than for normal urban building sites and, in the opinion of the Planning Commission, any or all of the tracts are susceptible of being re-subdivided, the original subdivision shall be such that the alignment of future street and utility dedication may conform to the general street layout in the surrounding area. F. LAKES AREA In the interest of the health, safety, and welfare of the residents of the City of Lubbock, dedication of lake areas for storm water drainage and impoundment areas necessary for flood control and preservation of natural drainage shall be required as follows: 1. Procedure to obtain Commission approval for a Plays Lake Cut and Fill Plan is same as 25-3-D-1 through 6. Any approved plan shall remain in force until the Plan is submitted for amendment by the subdivider. 2. Upon completion of any cut and/or fill approved under this section, an "as-built" certified plan shall be provided by a registered Texas Professional Engineer or Texas Registered Public Surveyor and shall be filed with the City Engineering Department. All fill areas shall be subject to the following: a. Testing shall be performed in accordance with ASTM standards by a commercial testing laboratory. ASTM is the American Society for Testing Materials. -16 - b. All fill materials shall be compacted to ninety five (95%) percent standard Proctor density in accordance with ASTM D-698. c.

Each lift shall have a maximum depth of six (6") inches. f. The field densities shall be taken in such a manner as to be a representative sampling of the six (6") inch depths. The location of the tests shall be proportionately spaced to represent approximate equal areas of each acre being tested. Testing shall not occur at the same location in succeeding depths, so a representative sampling of the total fill may be obtained. g. The location of the field density tests shall be indicated upon a map to become a part of the certified as-built cut and fill plan. h. Copies of all test results with location maps shall be furnished to the City Engineer with the certified as-built cut and fill plan. 3. All land within a lake area shall be dedicated as public land for storm water drainage and impoundment in its natural state at the time of platting, after recommendation by the Community Facili- ties Division, or; 4. land within a lake area shall be dedicated es public land for storm water drainage end impoundment, subject to approval of the Planning and Zoning Commission in conjunction with a proper cut and fill plan, after recommendation by the Community Facilities Division, under the following conditions: -17 - / ' I a. land may be reclaimed for private use provided the total reclaimed shall not exceed thirty (30~) percent of the total land in the lake area which is owned by the developer. Land reclaimed for use as public right-of-way shall not be considered as part of the thirty (30~) percent private area. b. All areas remaining in the lake area below the high-water elevation shall be dedicated as public land for storm water drainage and impoundment. 5. Where variations of dedication requirements, as listed above, are approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission allowing land below high-water elevation to be retained as private recreational or open space land, covenants of ownership agreements providing for the perpetual ownership and maintenance of such area must be submitted to and approved by the City Attorney's office and the Planning and Zoning Commission and filed of record with the final plat. 6. Development of all lake areas shall conform to the following requirements: a. Improvements within or adjacent to such lake area shall be in accordance with Section 25-68 of the Subdivision Regula- tions. b. Areas to be dedicated as public land for storm water drainage and impoundment shall be designated on plats and referenced in the dedication deed as "storm water drainage and impoundment" and shall be designated by a lot or tract number. c.

The dedication of the lake areas for storm water drainage and impoundment areas shall not prohibit the use of such area for public uses not inconsistent with storm water drainage and impoundment. G. ENERGY CONSIDERATIONS (Reserved) Energy considerations, particularly those related to solar, are relatively new to the American public. Since virtually every aspect of land development has en effect on energy use, it is the intent of this reserved Section to simply remind and encourage the subdivider to do his or her part for energy-efficient development schemes. As solar and alternate energy technology advances, and "solar rights" become more established under the law, this Section may be expanded to better provide for public and private rights. At present, the main objective for the subdivider shall consist of orientation of blocks and lots on an east/west axis such that southerly exposure for structures is maximized. Section 25-5.

GENERAL Where the Planning Commission finds that extraordinary hardships or practical difficulties may result from strict compliance with these regulations and/or the purposes of these regulations may be served to a greater extent by an alternative proposal, it may approve variances to these subdivision regulations so that substantial justice may be done and the public interest secured, provided that such variance shall not have the effect of nullifying the intent and purpose of these regulations; and further provided the Planning Commission shall not approve variances unless it shall make findings based upon the evidence presented to it in each specific case that: 1. The granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the public safety, health, or welfare or injurious to other pro- perty. 2. The conditions upon which the request for a variance is based are unique to the property for which the variance is sought and are not applicable generally to other property. 3. Because of the particular physical surroundings, shape or topographical conditions of the specific property involved, a particular hardship to the owner would result, as distinguished from a mere inconvenience or financial loss, if the strict compliance with these regulations is carried out. 4. That any variance dos not violate any other City ordinance. -27 - ... .. .. • ,. ' ~ . • B. CONDITIONS In approving variances, the Planning Commission may require such conditions as will, in its judgment, secure substantially the objec- tive of the standards or requirements of these regulations. C. PROCEDURES A petition for any such variance shall be submitted in writing by the subdivider at the time when the preliminary plat is filed with the Plats Coordinator prior to consideration by the Planning Commission.
