Attachment A
DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS
SOUTH OVERTON NATIONAL RESIDENTIAL HISTORIC DISTRICT
Purpose
The purpose of this ordinance is to promote the preservation of the unique character of the South
Overton National Residential Historic District by overlaying certain conditions on the existing
and future land use zoning. The character of this grouping of early 20th century structures is
derived from the diverse mix of architectural styles found in early Lubbock.
This zone case and its conditions does not require anyone to make changes to existing properties
to conform to these standards, nor does it change the permitted land uses within the zone case
boundary. It is the intent of this ordinance that the following activities be compatible with the
historic residential and public structures within the South Overton Residential Historic District
(Historic District), listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) in 1996:
• New primary structure construction in excess of three hundred and fifty
(350) square feet
• Structural alterations
• Replacement of windows and exterior doors
• Additions to existing structures, and
• Replacement of roofs
Although the National Register designation does not have a direct effect on zoning, the historic
architectural elements identified in the nomination are an excellent guide for this zone case. In
addition, staff and commissions reviewing new construction, alterations and additions under the
standards of this section shall use The [U.S.] Secretary of the Interior's Standards for
Rehabilitation (36 CFR 67) as a guide in decision making (Attachment B). All requirements of
the respective underlying zone district shall apply.
Design Requirements
New Structures: The objective of the design requirements are that any new structure in this
zoning district be compatible with the South Overton National Residential Historic District and
shall embody the distinctive stylistic elements and materials of one of the early 20th century
architectural styles listed below. The nomination for listing of the South Overton Residential
Historic District to the National Register of Historic Places includes references to, photographs
of, and descriptions of the design elements and characteristics of significant homes and other
structures in the South Overton National Historic District, as does A Guide to Lubbock's
Architectural Heritage (City of Lubbock, 1993) and Architecture in Lubbock.- A Guide for
Identification and Preservation (City of Lubbock, 1979) all available in the Planning Department
and on the Planning Department website.
Any of the following styles are permitted for new construction of a primary structure:
• American Foursquare
• Bungalow, Craftsman or Arts and Crafts
• Classical Revival
• Colonial Revival
• Federal Revival
• Folk Victorian
• Georgian Revival
• Greek Revival
• Mission Revival
• Moderne
• Prairie
• Queen Anne
• Spanish Revival (Spanish Colonial, Monterey, Pueblo)
• Spanish Renaissance Revival
• Tudor Revival
• Victorian
A new structure must contain all of the distinctive elements generally recognized for its style of
architecture, provided that, in the opinion of the Planning Staff and/or the Urban Design and
Historic Preservation Commission, the structure will be a contributing structure and will be in
harmony with the existing contributing structures in the Historic District. To promote
architectural variety within the district, the same floor plan or building elevation shall not be used
twice in any one block.
No structure shall be constructed pursuant to an experimental design including, but not limited
to, geodesic dome, A -frame or inflatable structures. No tents, boxcars, portable dwellings or
mobile homes are allowed. No modular, pre -built, or prefabricated structures are permitted.
New accessory structures larger than three hundred and fifty (350) square feet constructed on a
lot with an existing primary building must conform to the historical style of the primary structure.
Additions, Structural Changes and Roof Replacement on Existing Structures: All
additions, exterior structural changes to existing structures, and roof replacements must be of the
same design and materials as the primary structure. If the original materials are no longer
available, then compatible materials as near the original materials and color as possible and
practical shall be considered during the plan review process. Metal roofs are not permissible
unless such roofs are a generally accepted element on a permitted style of architecture.
Site Requirements: Primary structures must face the front of the lot adjacent to a street as
described in the definitions section of the zoning ordinance. The front set back is required to be
even with the average existing front setback of the structures of the immediately adjacent
structures. On corner lots, a duplex may front on both streets. The side and rear yards must meet
the requirements of their respective zones.
Sidewalks and Driveway Openings: A sidewalk four (4) feet in width shall be constructed
adjacent to any street frontage and in line with existing sidewalks on the same side of the street in
the same block. No curb back walks are allowed. A walkway must be constructed to connect the
public sidewalk and the front porch. The walkway must be at least four (4) feet wide, of concrete
or brick pavers set in sand and contained by a metal or concrete border. Concrete sidewalks and
walkways must meet the City's construction specifications for public sidewalks. On
development lots less than seventy-five (75) feet wide, one driveway opening not more than
twelve (12) feet in width shall be allowed. Circular drives are not permitted.
Building Size and Height: To maintain the typical existing elevations that resulted from pier
and beam construction, the elevation of the first floor shall be no less than eighteen (18) inches
and no more than twenty-four (24) inches above the highest elevation of the street curb in front
of the structure. The elevation of the first floor shall also be no less than fourteen (14) inches
above the elevation of the lot at the entrance to the structure. No structure is permitted to have
more than twenty (20) percent more floor space than the average of all existing residential
structures in the same block. No residential structure shall contain less than six hundred (600)
square feet of floor space. Any antenna on the roof shall be located on that part of the roof that is
least visible from the street. No flag pole shall be attached to the roof.
Mechanical Units: Mechanical units may not be located in the front of the structure and
mechanical units located on the side of a structure must be screened by a screening fence
sufficient to block the view of the unit from the street. Mechanical units located on a roof must
be located on that part of the roof that is least visible from the street.
Building Materials for New Construction and Alterations: Deteriorated historic features shall
be repaired rather than replaced. Where the severity of deterioration requires replacement of a
distinctive feature, the new feature shall match the old in design, color, texture, and other visual
qualities and, where possible, materials. Materials and colors for new structures should be
contributing to the historic character of the district and similar in size, scale and color to historic
materials. The following materials are not allowed on any exterior wall or roof: corrugated sheet
iron, metal siding, plywood or other composite sheet or panel materials, vinyl siding, exposed
concrete masonry units, unpainted wood, diagonal siding or vertical siding. Smooth cement
board siding with a reveal of no more than six (6) inches is permitted to simulate wood lap siding
and wood trim. Metal roofing is permitted only if it is in keeping with the architectural style of
the structure. Accent and trim materials and colors must be in keeping with the architectural
style of the structure. Roofing materials and roofing colors must be compatible with the
architectural style of the structure
Windows and Doors: Windows and doors should be of wood, glass, painted or pre -finished
metal or architectural decorative material consistent with the architectural style of the building.
Unpainted wood and clear mill -finished or unfinished aluminum windows and storm doors are
not allowed. Storm windows are discouraged on existing properties, and if used should represent
the same size and configuration of existing windows, except on additions to existing structures
where storm windows are already present. Windows on new construction should be double
paned insulated glass, and storm windows on new construction are not allowed. Storm doors
must reveal as much of the door behind it as possible. Replacement windows must be of the
same size and configuration as the historic windows.
Fences: No front yard fences shall be allowed.
Off Street Parking: All off street parking must be located in the back half of the development
lot and, if accessible from the street, accessible by a driveway to the front street twelve (12) feet
in width. No driveway shall be allowed within the vision triangle at the intersection of two
streets. A drive from the side street and parking in the back yard may be a substitute if the front
drive would be in the vision triangle. Off street parking may be accessible from the alley. On
corner lots, off street parking on the rear half of the lot may be accessible from the side street.
No commercial vehicles or equipment, except up to a one ton pickup truck or van, and one trailer
of less than eighteen (18) feet in length may park on the lot. All trailers, recreational vehicles,
boats and motorcycles shall be parked on the back half of the lot
Landscaping: At least ninety (90) percent of the parkway area between the street side edge of
the sidewalk and the street curb must be landscaped and permanently maintained with grass or
other living plant materials. Excluding the required sidewalks, and if applicable, a single lane
driveway to the rear of the lot, at least ninety (90) percent of the remaining front yard must be
landscaped and permanently maintained with grass or other living plant material. On corner
lots, if the side yard nearest the side street is not enclosed with a screening fence of at least six
(6) feet high, at least ninety (90) percent of the side yard and parkway, excluding the required
sidewalk, must be landscaped and permanently maintained with grass or other living plant
materials. No more than ten (10) percent of this required landscaping can be composed of hard
surfaced landscaping material, such as exposed aggregate, brick, concrete masonry, rock or
gravel. Trees are encouraged in the parkway. Trees in the parkway must be separated by at least
twenty-five (25) feet and a tree may not be planted in the vision triangle or where it may grow
into any overhead public utility line. As trees mature in the parkway they shall be pruned to
provide at least nine (9) feet of clearance above the street to permit mechanical street sweepers.
Trees on the lot overhanging the parkway shall be pruned to a minimum of six (6) feet. Dead
trees and plant material must be removed from the property and the adjoining parkway.
Plan Review
Those building, adding to, making structural alterations or structural repairs to, or roofing

1. Complete project application form.
2. Owner or representative's name, address, phone and project title.
3. Photographs of adjacent or cross street residences or existing buildings on lot, if any.
4. Site plans, maps and elevation drawings of proposed structures. All submissions should
be to scale and illustrate:

items associated with the structure or development lot.
5. Landscape and irrigation plan for the development lot, including specifications for hard -
surface landscape materials.
6. Other information that will assist in the evaluation of site development is encouraged, but
not required.
Plan Review Process
Prior to issuance of a construction permit, complete plans as described above must be submitted
to the building inspection department. The Director of Planning and building official, or
designated representative of either, shall determine whether the proposed development meets the
intent of the ordinance zoning the property and the Design Guidelines for South Overton
National Residential Historic District. Any decision may be appealed to the Zoning Board of
Adjustment by the applicant or other interested person within thirty days of the decision in
accordance with the City of Lubbock Zoning Ordinance.
If the Director of Planning or a designated representative determines the proposal contains
unique circumstances which cannot be accommodated by the Zoning Ordinance and the Design
and Development Regulations, South Overton National Register Historic District, the plans will
be placed on the next available agenda of the Urban Design and Historic Preservation
Commission for recommendations. The commission shall use the zoning ordinance and the
design standards to determine whether the development meets the intent of each document.
Factors to be considered by the commission in making their recommendation and attaching
conditions include: the extent to which the proposal differs from the design standards or the
standards of the ordinance, the impact of these modifications on the existing and future
development in the area, and the public purpose to be served by permitting the requested
modifications.
Upon recommendation by the Urban Design and Historic Preservation Commission, the Director
of Planning may vary the requirements of the design standards so long as the requirements of the
base zoning district of the property are not altered. Variances from the requirements of the base
zoning district, even if recommended by the Urban Design and Historic Preservation
Commission must be approved by the Zoning Board of Adjustment. All recommendations by the
Urban Design and Historic Preservation Commission must be provided in writing to the
applicant and to the Zoning Board of Adjustment.
Ordinance No. 2011-00072
Attachment B
THE SECRETARY OF THE INTERIOR'S STANDARDS FOR REHABILITATION
The Standards (Department of Interior regulations, 36 CFR 67) pertain to historic buildings of all
materials, construction types, sizes, and occupancy and encompass the exterior and the interior,
related landscape features and the building's site and environment as well as attached, adjacent,
or related new construction. The Standards are to be applied to specific rehabilitation projects in
a reasonable manner, taking into consideration economic and technical feasibility.
1. A property shall be used for its historic purpose or be placed in a new use that requires
minimal change to the defining characteristics of the building and its site and environment.
2. The historic character of a property shall be retained and preserved. The removal of historic
materials or alteration of features and spaces that characterize a property shall be avoided.
3. Each property shall be recognized as a physical record of its time, place, and use. Changes
that create a false sense of historical development, such as adding conjectural features or
architectural elements from other buildings, shall not be undertaken.
4. Most properties change over time; those changes that have acquired historic significance in
their own right shall be retained and preserved.
5. Distinctive features, finishes, and construction techniques or examples of craftsmanship that
characterize a property shall be preserved.
6. Deteriorated historic features shall be repaired rather than replaced. Where the severity of
deterioration requires replacement of a distinctive feature, the new feature shall match the old in
design, color, texture, and other visual qualities and, where possible, materials. Replacement of
missing features shall be substantiated by documentary, physical, or pictorial evidence.
7. Chemical or physical treatments, such as sandblasting, that cause damage to historic materials
shall not be used. The surface cleaning of structures, if appropriate, shall be undertaken using the
gentlest means possible.
8. Significant archeological resources affected by a project shall be protected and preserved. If
such resources must be disturbed, mitigation measures shall be undertaken.
9. New additions, exterior alterations, or related new construction shall not destroy historic
materials that characterize the property. The new work shall be differentiated from the old and
shall be compatible with the massing, size, scale, and architectural features to protect the historic
integrity of the property and its environment.
10. New additions and adjacent or related new construction shall be undertaken in such a manner
that if removed in the future, the essential form and integrity of the historic property and its
environment would be unimpaired.
