ORDINANCE NO. 8882
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 29 OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES, CITY OF
LUBBOCK, ENTITLED "ZONING", BY ADDING TO SECTION 29-3 A DEFINITION FOR
"COMPARABLE USE"; AND BY ADDING A NEW SECTION WHICH WILL PROVIDE CONTROLS
UPON SIGNS IN THE EXTRATERRITORIAL JURISDICTION OF THE CITY; PROVIDING A
SAVINGS CLAUSE; PROVIDING A PENALTY AND PROVIDING FOR PUBLICATION.
WHEREAS, TEX.REV.CIV.STAT.ANN. art. 1015o-1 now provides that any
municipality may extend the provisions of its sign regulatory ordinance and
enforce such ordinance within its area of extraterritorial jurisdiction;
and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Lubbock wishes to so extend
its sign controls; and
WHEREAS, the provisions of TEX.REV.CIV.STAT.ANN. art. 1015o provide
that in areas of a city's extraterritorial jurisdiction a sign's entire
useful life and a sign's physical life appear to be substantially the same,
in contrast to signs inside the city limits, thereby reasonably justifying
no provision for amortization of such extraterritorial signs; and
WHEREAS, the proposed amendment to the Zoning Ordinance as hereinafter
made has been duly presented to the Planning and Zoning Commission for ita
recommendation which was received by the City Council and, after due con-
sideration, the City Council finds that it would be expedient and in the
interest of the public health, morals, and general welfare to so amend said
Zoning Ordinance; and
WHEREAS, all conditions precedent required by law for a valid amend-
ment to the Zoning Ordinance had been fully complied with, as well as the
publication of notice in compliance with Section 29-29 of the Code of
Ordinances, City of Lubbock, Texas and Article 1011d, Vernon's Annotated
Civil Statutes, and such notice was duly published in the Lubbock Avalanche-
Journal more than fifteen (15) days prior to the date of the public hearing
before the City Council on such proposed amendment, and the public hearing
according to said notice was duly held in the City Council Room, City Hall,
Lubbock, Texas, at which time persons appeared in support of the proposal;
and, after said hearing, it was by the City Council determined that it
would be in the public interest, that the Zoning Ordinance be amended in
the manner hereinafter set forth in the body of this Ordinance and this
Ordinance having been introduced prior to first reading hereof; NOW
THEREFORE:
BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LUBBOCK:
SECTION 1. THAT the Code of Ordinances, City of Lubbock, Texas, is
hereby amended by adding a subsection, to be numbered 29-3(26a), which said
subsection reads as follows:
"(26a) Comparable use: An area of use in the extraterritorial
jurisdiction of the City (as defined by TEX.REV.CIV.STAT.ANN. art.
970a) which contains uses that are the same or similar in comparison
with a specific zoning district inside the city limits and which can
be likened to said zoning district's permitted uses."
SECTION 2. THAT the Code of Ordinances, City of Lubbock, Texas, is
hereby amended by adding a section, to be numbered 29-26.1, which said
section reads as follows:
"Sec. 29-26.1. Signs in the Extraterritorial Jurisdiction of the
City.
(a) General Provisions.
(1) In accordance with the prov1s1ons of TEX.REV.CIV.STAT.ANN.
art. 1015o-2, the sign and billboard provisions of this
Chapter 29 are hereby extended to apply and control within
the extraterritorial jurisdiction of the City of Lubbock.
(2) The extraterritorial jurisdiction of the City of Lubbock is
that as defined in TEX.REV.CIV.STAT.ANN. art. 970a, and
specifically thereby includes all areas lying outside the
corporate limits of the City of Lubbock, but within five (5)
miles thereof. Annexations extending the corporate limits
shall, without further action, automatically extend such
extraterritorial jurisdiction area so that it will become
subject to the provisions of this section.
(3) The requirements for signs and billboards for each district
within the City shall hereby apply to each area of use of
property within the extraterritorial jurisdiction, when said
extraterritorial jurisdiction use is determined to be com-
parable to a use allowed by any district within the corpo-
rate limits. When a use within the extraterritorial juris-
diction is determined to be comparable to a use allowed in a
specifically zoned district within the City, then the same
sign and billboard requirements as govern that specific
district shall be applicable to the extraterritorial
jurisdiction area determined to be comparable to that
specifically zoned district.
(4) The comparable use area within the extraterritorial juris-
diction shall only include the area actually being utilized
in the activities of the comparable use, and such area
immediately adjacent thereto as reasonably necessary to that
use.
-2-
(5) All areas within the extraterritorial jurisdiction, inclu-
sive of vacant property, shall be deemed comparable to an
R-1 residential district until an application for comparable
use determination is filed and determined, or, until the
area is actually annexed.
(b) Determination as to comparable use.
(1) Applications for a determination as to comparable use shall
be filed with the Codes Administrator of the City of
lubbock.
(2) Applications for a determination as to comparable use shall
be upon forms provided by the City of Lubbock, but such
applications must reflect the following information:
a. The names of all owners, lessees or any other person,
firm or corporation claiming any interest in the area
sought to be defined as a comparable use area.
b. If the applicant is other than the fee simple owner as
reflected by the Deed Records of lubbock County, then
instruments reflecting his authority to file such
application shall be furnished.
c. All information required by the application form
provided by City.
(3) When an application is received by the Codes Administrator,
a date for an administrative hearing upon same shall be set
and notice of such hearing and the time and place thereof
given to the applicant
(4) Upon such administrative hearing the Codes Administrator
shall consider the contents of the application and any other
evidence or testimony presented bearing upon the comparable
use issue from anyone present. All parties before testifying
shall be sworn. The applicant, or any other interested
party may appear in person or by attorney or other agent or
representative. Any person giving testimony shall be
subject to cross-examination by any other person present.
The Codes Administrator shall be entitled to ask any request
or require the presentation of any other document, instru-
ment or information that would aid in his decision. The
hearing may be continued from time to time by the Codes
Administrator to allow for the presentation of such addi-
tional evidence, if any, he may feel necessary to his
decision, but there shall not be more than two continuances
-3-
and continuances shall not extend the period of considera-
tion beyond the 25th day after the date the administrative
hearing was first scheduled.
(5) In all cases, on or before the 25th day following the date
of the first hearing, the Codes Administrator shall render
his decision as to the comparable use of the property
subject to the application.
(6) Any party aggrieved by such decision may appeal such
decision to the ZBA in the manner provided by Section 29-28
and TEX.REV. CIV.STAT. art. 1011g. If the Appellant is the
Appellant, he may also seek alternatively a variance from
the provisions of this Chapter in the time and manner
provided by Sec. 29-28 at TEX.REV.CIV.STAT. art. 1011g, but
for purposes of this section, any appeal or variance must be
filed within ten (10) days of the administrator's decision
or such decision shall be considered final.
(7) Once the decision of the Codes Administrator is final for
lack of appeal, or if appealed to the ZBA, the decision of
that body becomes final, then, after securing permit here-
inafter required, the sign or billboard may be constructed,
as allowed by the final order or decision.
(c) Construction.
(1) Signs or billboards allowed by a final order or decision,
after permit secured, shall be constructed in strict
conformity to the terms and conditions of said order or
decision and the requirements of this Chapter.
(2) Prior to construction the applicant shall secure the
building permit required by the Building Code of the City of
Lubbock.
(d) Existing Signs.
(1) All signs and billboards located in the extraterritorial
jurisdiction on the effective date of this Ordinance, or
located within areas added to the extraterritorial juris-
diction by subsequent annexation upon the effective date of
each such subsequent annexation, are hereby declared to be
nonconforming and entitled to remain under and subject to
the rules applicable in this Chapter to other nonconforming .
uses, provided such signs are registered with the City
within the time and in the manner hereinafter provided.
-4-
. .
(2) Within six (6) months after the effective date of this
Ordinance as to areas designated as within the current
extraterritorial jurisdiction, or within six (6) months
after the effective date of an subsequent annexation as will
extend the area of the extraterritorial jurisdiction, all
signs or billboards desired to be designated as nonconform-
ing, shall be registered as hereinafter provided. Signs or
billboards not so registered within said six (6) months,
shall be conclusively presumed to be illegal and not
nonconforming and shall be removed immediately by the owner
of the land upon which they are located, without cost to the
City of lubbock.
(J) Registration of nonconforming signs and billboards shall be
accomplished upon filing (within the time provided) of a
declaration of nonconforming sign upon forms to be provided
by the City. Such forms shall require such information as
necessary or helpful to a determination by the Codes
Administrator, including but not limited to:
a. A written legal description of the parcel location.
b. A scaled drawing or photograph of all signs showing:
1. Dimensions;
2. Height;
J. Setback (front and side) from property lines; and
4. Their location on the parcel in relation to
adjacent streets and other public property.
c. A certification that the sign or signs presented as
nonconforming are the only nonconforming signs on the
property.
d. The names of all owners, lessees or any other person,
firm or corporation claiming any interest in the area
sought to be defined as nonconforming.
e. If the applicant is other than the fee simple owner as
reflected by the Deed Records of lubbock County, then
instruments reflecting his authority to file such
application shall be furnished.
-5-
. .
(4) The Codes Administrator shall cause a copy of the applica-
tion to be posted in a display area open to the public at or
near his offices. Each such posted application shall
contain notice to the public as to the manner by which such
nonconforming designation may be challenged.
(5) If no challenges are received within fifteen (15) days of
the date of posting, if after verification of the contents
of the application the Codes Administrator either finds them
to be true or finds no reason to challenge same, he shall
within thirty (30) days after such application is posted,
approve and file same. If, however, an application is
challenged, or, if the contents of the application remain
questioned by the Codes Administrator after attempts to
verify same, in either such event the Codes Administrator
may request such additional information as necessary to
verification to be provided by the applicant. Requests for
additional information shall be mailed to the applicant by
certified mail within twenty-five (25) days after the
application is posted. If after such additional information
is received the validity of the declaration of nonconforming
use is still not reasonably reflected by the information
before the Codes Administrator, or in the case of any
application to which a challenge is filed, the Codes
Administrator, shall set a date for hearing upon such
application giving notice thereof to the applicant (and any
challenger, if any). The hearing date shall be at least
ten (10) days after the date of mailing such notice.
(6) If upon hearing the Codes Administrator determines that such
sign was in place upon the effective date of this Ordinance
to the specific extraterritorial jurisdiction area involved,
then he shall accept and file such application. If the
Codes Administrator determines such sign was not in place
upon the effective date of this Ordinance, then such
application shall be denied.
(7) Any person aggrieved by the decision of the Codes Adminis-
trator may appeal such decision to the ZBA in the manner and
within the time provided by Section 29-28 and TEX.REV.CIV.
STAT. art. 1011g.
(8) In the event of the illness, disability or absence of the
Codes Administrator he may designate a substitute to act in
his place for the purpose of any hearing required above.
SECTION 2. THAT violation of any provisions of this Ordinance sha)l
be deemed a misdemeanor punishable by a fine not to exceed the limits
provided in Section 29-31(a) of the Zoning Ordinance of the City of
Lubbock.

reason, the remainder of this Ordinance shall not be affected thereby.

method provided by law.
AND IT IS SO ORDERED.
