It is
important to understand that each property located within
the City of Lufkin has a zoning designation that determines
the uses that are permitted on that property. There is an
official zoning map and a zoning ordinance that work
together. The map determines the zoning locations and the
ordinance addresses the regulations that apply to each
zoning category.
The Zoning
Ordinance also regulates exceptions to the requirements and
supplemental development regulations, which include the
landscaping requirements.
An application
can be made to change the zoning on any piece of property
within the city if the proposed use is not permitted under
the current zoning. You can download an Rezoning
Application in PDF format or pick one up at City Hall, Room
221.
There are
cases where the proposed use requires a Special Use Permit
to be allowed under the current zoning classification. If
the Special Use Permit is granted by the Planning and Zoning
Commission then the current zoning will remain the same with
the Special Use also being permitted.
Always confirm
what your property is zoned with the Planning Department
(936) 633-0247. |
