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 (located in Room
221 at City Hall) and a zoning ordinance (most recent
version revised March 10, 2000) that work together. The map
determines the zoning locations and the ordinance addresses
the regulations that apply to each zoning category.
The Zoning
Ordinance provides the following information for each zoning
classification:
The permitted uses
The minimum area of the
lot
The setback (from property
lines) requirements
The maximum height of the
structures
The minimum depth of the
lot
The minimum area of the
dwelling
The Zoning
Ordinance also regulates exceptions to the requirements and
supplemental development regulations which includes 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 may download an Rezoning
Application in PDF format or pick one up at City Hall, Room
221.
There may be
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.
If you would
like a copy of the Zoning Ordinance you can download a free
PDF from the menu or they are for sale in Room 221 or by
calling 936-633-0247 for $10 (B&W) and $30 (color). |
