Front yard standards and measurements.

On all corner lots, the front yard setback shall be observed along the frontage of both intersecting streets, unless approved specifically otherwise on a final plat. Where single-family lots have double frontage, extending from one street to another, or are on a corner, a required front yard shall be provided on both streets unless a side or rear yard building line has been established along one frontage on the plat, in which event only one required front yard need be observed. The side and rear yards in the case of single-family uses shall be identified and the front of the structure shall not face the side or rear yard.

Where the frontage on one side of a street between two intersecting streets is divided by two (2) or more zones, the front yard shall comply with the requirements of the most restrictive zone for the entire frontage.

The front yard shall be measured from the property line to the front face of the building, to the nearest supporting member of a covered porch or terrace, or to any attached accessory building. Eaves and roof extensions or a porch without posts or columns may project into the required front yard for a distance not to exceed four feet (4'), and subsurface structures, platforms, or slabs may not project into the front yard to a height greater than thirty inches (30") above the average grade of the yard.

Editor's Note: Appendix B is included as an attachment to this exhibit.

Minimum lot widths for lots with predominant frontage on the curved radius of a street, including those located on a cul-de-sac or “eyebrow” portion of a street, shall be measured as the linear distance of the curved front building line, and shall be as shown on the subdivision plat. Lot widths for all lots shall be as set forth in the respective zone for each lot.

Where a future right-of-way line has been established for future widening or opening of a street or thoroughfare upon which a lot abuts, then the front, side, or rear yard shall be measured from the future right-of-way line.

Side yard standards and measurements.

On a corner lot used for single-family dwellings, both street exposures shall be treated as front yards on all lots platted after the initial date of the adoption of the city zoning ordinance, June 20, 2006 except that where one street exposure is designated as a side yard for both adjacent lots or where the two lots are separated by a street right-of-way, creek or floodplain area, or other similar phenomenon. In such case, a building line may be designated by the development services manager with a minimum side yard of fifteen feet (15') or more, as determined by the applicable zone standards. On lots which were official lots of record prior to the effective date of this article, the minimum side yard adjacent to a side street shall comply with the minimum required side yard for the respective zone.

Every part of a required side yard shall be open and unobstructed except for the ordinary projections of window sills, belt courses, cornices, and other architectural features not to exceed twelve inches (12") into the required side yard, and roof eaves projecting not to exceed thirty-six inches (36") into the required side yard. Air-conditioning compressors and similar equipment are permitted in the side yard.

Visual clearance shall be provided in all zones so that no fence, wall, architectural screen, earth mounding, or landscaping thirty inches (30") or higher above the street centerline obstructs the vision of a motor vehicle driver approaching any street or driveway intersection as follows:

At a street intersection, clear vision must be maintained for a minimum of twenty-five feet (25') across any lot measured from the corner of the property line in both directions.

Shrubs and hedges that are typically less than thirty inches (30") in height at maturity, as measured from the centerline of the street, may be located in the visual clearance areas of all zones.

A limited number of single-trunk trees having a clear trunk (branching) height of at least eight feet (8') may be located within sight visibility areas provided that they are spaced and positioned such that they will not produce a visibility inhibiting, “picket-fence” effect when they attain mature size.

When any R-2 zoned lot with an existing duplex is replatted into two lots in accordance with division 6 of article 10.03, such replatted lots shall be considered as one lot for zoning purposes.

§ 14.02.415 Zones 16 and 18.

Zone 16 (Amenities Land) and Zone 18 (Nonsubdivision Tracts) were described in the original comprehensive development plan.

(Ordinance 07-09-18E, sec. 3.15, adopted 9/18/07)

§ 14.02.416 Zone 13 Caprock.

Tract BBB-2A of Horseshoe Bay West Plat No. W15.67 is a unique zone within the City, being an area around which the community and City of Horseshoe Bay were founded, and being an area which the citizens of Horseshoe Bay hope to see develop in the high-quality manner as they have heretofore developed;

Tract BBB-2A of Horseshoe Bay West Plat No. W15.67 is not subject to the restrictive covenants of any existing subdivision whereas the majority of the other zones within the City are subject to such restrictions, creating a perception that fewer safeguards exist to protect the high quality of development within the zone. The owners of Tract BBB-2A and the City have agreed since the inception of the temporary moratorium, and continue to agree that a Master Plan for the Zone is the best method to ensure quality of development;

Tract BBB-2A is a vacant tract of land (legal description - Tract BBB-2 A of Horseshoe Bay West Plat No. W15.67, Horseshoe Bay, Llano County, Texas) at the northwest comer of Horseshoe Bay Blvd. and Hi Circle North. However, the plans for development in the Zone is still being determined and have not been finalized. The owners of the property in Tract BBB-2A continue to assure the City that a Master Plan for development will be presented to the Council as soon as possible and before February 20, 2024;

Since enactment of the temporary moratorium the City Council has adopted a zoning ordinance, a building permit ordinance and a subdivision ordinance that applies to the entirety of the City. The City Council is prepared to enact a Zoning Amendment at this time Tract BBB-2A but in reliance on the property owner's request that the City wait for the Master Plan, the Council is willing to postpone such action at this time;

Representatives of the City Council have met and will continue to meet with principal developers and land owners in Tract BBB-2A to engage in discussions that may lead to development under a Master Plan acceptable to the City and the developers, which may include establishment of one or more Planned Development Districts, but developers and land owners need additional time to complete the Master Plan and present it to the City, so that the developers and owners of Tract BBB-2A consent to an additional extension of the temporary moratorium to apply to all of the remaining property in said zones;

Additional time is needed and the temporary moratorium should be extended to allow the City Council time to both develop further suitable land use regulations and to work with the principal developers and land owners in Tract BBB-2A in order to ensure that the development in Tract BBB-2A fulfills the goals of such developers and land owners and is in the best interest of the City.
