PERMITTED AND SPECIAL EXCEPTION USES

Sec. 4.03 – PERMITTED AND SPECIAL EXCEPTION USES

1)Permitted and Special Exception Use Table
a)Within Table 4.3: Permitted and Special Exception Land Uses, specific uses located in the left column are designated as either Permitted Uses, Permitted with Conditions, and Permitted by Special Exception (Conditional Use). If there is no designation, the use is not permitted within that district.
b)A Development Plan may be required as per Section 11.03 – Development Plan Review and Approval.
2)USE CLASSIFICATIONS
a)Permitted uses. Permitted uses are those uses allowed without special permission of the Dallas City Council, given that they follow the standards and requirements set forth in this ordinance.
b)Special Exceptions. Special Exceptions are those uses that, because of potential incompatibility and negative impact on surrounding land uses, require additional review in order to determine compliance with City of Dallas standards and to determine their suitability in a given location. In order to achieve balance between the public benefit and the local impact, Special Exceptions are only permitted following a public hearing and approval by the Planning Commission, as per Section 2.02 – Planning Commission and Section 11.09 – Special Exception Procedure.
c)Unlisted or Questionable Land Uses. Any use listed within Section 4.03 – Permitted and Special Exception uses but not designated as either permitted or Special Exception within a specific zoning district on the table shall be not permitted within the specific zoning district. If a use is not listed on the table, the requirements of the most similar use may be imposed according to a determination by the Director. This determination may be appealed to the Zoning Board of Adjustment consistent with the provisions of Section 11.11 – Administrative Appeals Procedure for Administrative Appeal Applications.
3)USES PERMITTED PER LOT. Only one (1) principal use (whether a permitted or Special Exception use) of a lot shall be permitted. All other uses occurring on a lot shall be accessory to or a subordinate component of the principal use (e.g. a shopping center would be considered the principal use).
4)ACCESSORY USES. Accessory uses and structures shall be incidental to, and commonly associated with the operation of, the principal use of the lot. Accessory use standards and requirements are listed in Sec. 8.02 – Accessory Structure and Use Standards.

§ 4.04

LOT STANDARDS

Sec. 4.04 – LOT STANDARDS

1)Purpose. Lot Standards for each district dictate the minimum and/or maximum standards that apply to lots within certain zoning districts. These regulations for property developed within City of Dallas’s jurisdiction are shown on Table 4.4: Residential Lot Standards and
Table 4.5: Non-Residential Lot Standards.
Undeveloped LotUnderdeveloped LotDeveloped Lot
Existing structureN/AAll regulationsParking, Lighting and Landscaping Regulations
Expansions beyond 35% of a structure’s square footageN/AAll regulationsAll regulations
New StructureAll regulationsAll regulationsAll regulations
requirements:
ii)Permitted Encroachments into Yards. The following encroachments shall be allowed to the extent specified below.
iii)Non-residential. Canopies and awnings shall be allowed over walkways or driveways to within twelve (12) feet of the street right-of-way or the right-of-way based on the street's functional classification, whichever is farther from the street's centerline. Fuel pumps and pump islands, when permitted, shall be set back as stated in this paragraph for canopies.
iv)Single-family residential and townhouses used for single family on individual lots of record. Porches, decks or patios attached to the main dwelling may extend no more than ten feet into a minimum front or rear yard. Outdoor fireplaces and outdoor uncovered kitchens, whether stand alone or constructed as a part of a patio, retaining wall or other structure, may only be located in the rear yard and may extend no more than ten (10) feet into the minimum rear yard. In no case shall an outdoor fireplace be located closer than ten (10) feet to a property line.

Awnings may project to within five feet of a side lot line.

v)All zoning districts. Architectural features such as cornices, eaves, steps, stoops, gutters, fire chases, chimneys which are a part of an exterior wall of the primary structure, and fire escapes may not encroach or project over more than thirty-six
(36)inches (3 feet) into any minimum yard. Wheelchair ramps and associated walkways shall be exempt from these requirements.
vi)Adjoining railroads. There shall be no minimum rear yard requirement adjoining the siding for those uses which utilize a rail siding for loading and unloading.
vii)Building Lot Lines (setbacks).
(1)Front Setback. The horizontal space between the Front lot line and the Front Setback line, extending to the side lines of the lot, generally parallel with and measured from the front lot line, defining the area in which no building or structure may be located above ground, except as may be provided in this ordinance. The front setback applies to all frontages of a lot facing a street or right-of-way.
(2)Side Setback. The horizontal space between the side lot lines and the side setback lines, extending to the front and rear lot lines, generally parallel with and measured from each side lot line, defining the area in which no building or structure may be located above ground, except as may be provided in this ordinance. However, for corner and through lots, any side of a structure that faces a street shall meet front setback requirements.
(3)Rear Setback. The horizontal space between the rear lot line and the rear setback line, extending to the side lines of the lot, generally parallel with and measured from the rear lot line, defining the area in which no building or structure may be located above ground, except as may be provided in this ordinance. For through lots, the rear of the structure facing a street shall meet front setback requirements. Rear setbacks for corner lots will apply to the portion of the lot that is furthest in the opposite direction of the general orientation of the structure.
f)Front Setbacks and Roadway Classifications.
i)Front Yard Setbacks are intended to establish a visual buffer distinguishing the building line from the roadway. Based on the traffic volume and roadway width, whether in a rural or urban setting, building setbacks are varied according to the road classification, with greater setbacks on larger streets with higher volume traffic, and lesser setbacks on smaller less travelled streets.
ii)Roadways are grouped into functional classes according to the character of traffic they are intended to serve. They may also be further classified as rural or urban based on the population surrounding a particular roadway. There are three highway functional classifications: arterial, collector, and local roads, and these can be defined as:
(1)Arterial - Provides the next highest level of service at moderate to high speeds, with some degree of access control. Arterials are typically classified as major arterial and minor arterial.
(2)Collector - Provides a lower level of service at a lower speed for shorter distances by collecting traffic from local roads and connecting them with arterials. Collectors are also classified as major and minor collectors.
(3)Local - Consists of all roads not defined as arterials or collectors; primarily provides access to land with little or minimal “through” movement.

Rebuilt from the published figure · verify at source
g)Minimum Distance Between Structures on Same lot. This distance, measured between the points of shortest distance on the exterior facades of two (2) structures, shall determine the minimum separation of multiple structures within one (1) developed lot.
h)Minimum Ground Floor Living Area (Per unit). The sum of the livable horizontal areas on the ground level of a building measured from the interior faces of the exterior walls, exclusive of basements, unfinished attics and attached garages. The minimum for a specific residential structure shall be dependent on the number of stories within the residential structure.
i)Total Minimum Living Area (Per unit). The sum of the livable horizontal areas on all levels of a building measured from the interior faces of the exterior walls, exclusive of basements, unfinished attics and attached garages. Each residential dwelling unit shall have separate and individual kitchen and bathroom facilities.
j)Minimum Living Area Facade Width. The minimum width required for the front facade of a residential structure, exclusive of garages, porches, decks, or terraces. This requirement may apply to a continuous facade for multi-family or single-family attached units.
k)Maximum Lot Coverage (Structures and Buildings). The maximum amount of enclosed ground floor area of all buildings on a lot expressed as a percentage of the horizontally projected area representing the bulk and mass on the lot.
l)Maximum Lot Coverage (All Impervious Surfaces). The maximum amount of ground floor area occupied by buildings, structures, parking lots, or other impervious surfaces on a lot expressed as a percentage of the horizontally projected area of the lot.
3)Lot Standards Table. Lot Standards are listed in the following tables (Tables 4.4 and 4.5)

under each district heading. Additional development standards including but not limited to parking, sign, and landscaping standards are set forth in Chapter VII:

Development Standards.
