Zoning District Map
A. 
The zoning districts are shown on the “City of Haslet Zoning Map” (Zoning Map). The boundaries of zoning districts established in this Ordinance are delineated upon the Zoning Map and adopted as part of this Ordinance as fully as if the same were set forth in this section in detail. Procedures for amending the Zoning Map are set forth in Article II: Procedures and Administration.
B. 
The Administrator shall keep a complete set of the official Zoning Maps in any convenient format, either electronically or in hard copy. The official Zoning Maps shall be kept up to date by posting any subsequent zoning changes as soon as practical after the change occurs. These maps shall be available for public inspection.
C. 
Administrative modifications to the Zoning Map shall be made by the Administrator per Section 3.1.3.
3.1.3 
Zoning District Boundaries
A. 
When uncertainty exists as to the boundaries of districts as shown on the official Zoning Map, the Administrator shall be responsible for interpretation of the zoning map in accordance with the following rules:
1. 
Boundaries indicated as approximately following the centerlines of streets, highways, alleys, or railroad rights-of-way are construed to follow those centerlines.
2. 
Boundaries indicated as approximately following platted lot boundaries or city limit boundaries are construed as following those boundaries.
3. 
Boundaries indicated as approximately following the centerlines of streams, creeks, rivers, canals, lakes, or other bodies of water are construed to follow those centerlines. The centerline is interpreted as being midway between the shorelines of the body of water or along the middle of designated floodways. If the centerlines or floodways change, the boundaries are construed as moving with the centerline or floodway.
4. 
Where a zoning district boundary line traverses a large parcel of land or acreage in a recorded subdivision, and such large parcel or acreage has been divided by metes and bounds without indication upon the recorded plat, or where it may hereafter be divided into blocks and lots, the district boundaries shall be construed to be the centerline of a street or alley or the property line resulting from such division nearest to the district line shown on the official Zoning Map, so long as the zoning district boundary is not varied more than 50 feet from its location on the official Zoning Map.
B. 
When the district boundary line is not otherwise determined, it shall be determined by the scale of the official Zoning Map from a given line.
C. 
Whenever a street, alley, or other public way is vacated by official action of the City, the zoning district line adjoining each side of the vacated street, alley, or other public way automatically extends to the centerline of the vacated right-of-way.
D. 
When there is a question as to the boundary of a tract and that question cannot be resolved by the application of Subsections above, the Planning and Zoning Commission (P&Z) shall determine the boundary by interpreting the official zoning district map and ordinances amending the map.
E. 
If, because of error or omission on the official Zoning Map, any property in the City is not shown to be included in a zoning district, such property shall be classified as the “AG” Agricultural district until changed by a zoning map amendment.
3.1.4 
Annexed Territory
When any territory is brought into the jurisdiction of the City of Haslet, by annexation or otherwise, such territory shall be deemed to be in the “AG” Agricultural district unless the City Council designates another zoning district at the time of annexation after review and recommendation by the P&Z, giving due consideration to the surrounding existing uses, the Comprehensive Plan, and property owner request, and provides notice that complies with the notice requirements of Article II: Procedures and Administration. This provision shall not preclude subsequent rezoning of such property by amendment in the manner set forth in Article II: Procedures and Administration.

(Ordinance 030-2017 adopted 11/20/17; Ordinance 030-2022 adopted 10/17/22; Ordinance 029-2024 adopted 11/11/2024)
3.6.1 
Alliance Airport Overlay.
A. 
Purpose and Intent.
The purpose and intent of the Alliance Airport Overlay (AAO) is to regulate the development of noise-sensitive land uses within the Airport Development Zone (ADZ) so as to promote compatibility between the airport and the surrounding land uses; to prevent the encroachment of incompatible uses surrounding the airport within the ADZ; and to promote the public health, safety and welfare of property users. This district is also intended to regulate the height of structures within the Airport Height Control Area (HCA) for the safe operation of the airport.
B. 
Applicability:
1. 
The AAO standards apply to height restrictions within the HCA and land use requirements within the ADZ, which is located within the HCA.
2. 
These standards apply in addition to standards in the underlying zoning district. When there is a conflict between the standards in the zoning district and the overlay, the AAO standards shall supersede.
3. 
All uses permitted by any underlying zoning classifications shall be permitted in the AAO unless such uses are prohibited by this section or are otherwise in conflict with or are inconsistent with this section, in which case this section shall control.
C. 
Alliance Airport Overlay Boundaries:
The boundary of the AAO is defined by the limits of the HCA, which contains the ADZ. Both the limits of the HCA and ADZ are shown on the official Zoning Map of the City of Haslet.
D. 
Compatible Land Use Regulations.
1. 
The following uses shall be prohibited in the ADZ:
i.

The following uses shall be subject to the development standards in this section:
i. 
Heliports, helistops, and any other facilities for the landing and taking off of helicopters, and accessory uses thereto, shall be permitted as a matter of right in the ADZ; provided, however, no heliport, helistop, or other facility for the landing and taking off of helicopters shall be located within 1,000 feet of any church, library, or public park. The city council may, however, approve the location of a heliport, helistop, or other facility for the landing and taking off of helicopters that is less than 1,000 feet from any church, library, or public park.
ii. 
Communications Facilities and Electrical Interference:
No use shall cause electrical interference with navigational signals or radio communications at the airport or with radio or electronic communications between the airport and aircraft. Proposals for the location of new or expanded radio, radio-telephone, television transmission facilities, electrical transmission lines and wind turbines shall be coordinated with the Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) Texas Airports Development Office prior to approval.
iii. 
Outdoor Lighting:
No use shall project lighting directly onto an existing runway or taxiway or into existing airport approach and landing paths except where necessary for safe and convenient air travel. Lighting for any new or expanded use shall incorporate shielding in their designs to reflect light away from airport approach and landing paths. Control of outdoor lighting shall be achieved primarily through the use of such means as cutoff fixtures, shields and baffles, and appropriate application of fixture mounting height, wattage, aiming angle and fixture placement. Lighting shall meet the following criteria:
(1) 
Lighting Arrangement.
Lighting arrangements that mimic runway lighting (i.e., long linear parallel rows of lighting) that could be confused with runway or taxiway lighting are not permitted.
(2) 
Illumination Levels.
Lighting shall have intensities, uniformities and glare control in accordance with the recommended practices of the Illuminating Engineering Society of North America (IESNA), unless otherwise directed by the City.
(3) 
Lighting Fixture Design:
(i) 
Fixtures shall be of a type and design appropriate to the lighting application.
(ii) 
For the lighting of predominantly horizontal surfaces such as, but not limited to parking areas, roadways, vehicular and pedestrian passage areas, merchandising and storage areas, automotive-fuel dispensing facilities, automotive sales areas, loading docks, cul-de-sacs, active and passive recreational areas, building entrances, sidewalks, bicycle and pedestrian paths, and site entrances, fixtures shall be aimed straight down and shall meet IESNA Full-Cutoff criteria. Fixtures, except those containing directional lamps, with an aggregate rated lamp output not exceeding 500 lumens, e.g., the rated output of a standard nondirectional 40-watt incandescent lamp, are exempt from the requirements of this subsection. In the case of decorative street lighting, the City may approve the use of luminaries that are Fully Shielded or comply with IESNA cutoff criteria.
(iii) 
For the lighting of predominantly nonhorizontal surfaces such as, but not limited to, facades, landscaping, signs, billboards, fountains, displays and statuary, fixtures shall be Fully Shielded and shall be installed and aimed so as to not project their output past the object being illuminated or skyward. Fixtures, except those containing directional lamps, with an aggregate rated lamp output not exceeding 500 lumens, e.g., the rated output of a standard nondirectional 40-watt incandescent lamp, are exempt from the requirements of this subsection.
(iv) 
“Barn lights,” aka “dusk-to-dawn lights,” shall be shielded.
(4) 
Billboards and Signs:
(i) 
Externally illuminated billboards and signs shall have fixtures mounted at the top of the billboard or sign and aimed downward. The fixtures shall be designed, fitted and aimed to shield the source from off-site view and to place the light output onto and not beyond the sign or billboard. The face of the sign or billboard and the illumination shall not exceed 30-vertical Footcandles during the hours of darkness.
(ii) 
The light source for internally illuminated signs and billboards shall not exceed 1,000 initial lumens per square foot of sign face.
(iii) 
Rotating, traveling, pulsing, flashing or oscillating light sources, lasers, beacons, searchlights or strobe lighting shall not be permitted.
(iv) 
The use of highly reflective signage that creates nuisance glare or a safety hazard is not permitted.
iv. 
Glare:
No use shall cause glare by highly reflective materials, including but not limited to unpainted metal or reflective glass, on the exterior of structures located within airport approach and landing paths or on nearby lands where glare could impede a pilot’s vision. Proposed solar arrays shall be coordinated with the FAA’s Texas Airports Development Office prior to approval. The control of glare shall meet the following criteria:
(1) 
Vegetative screens shall not be employed to serve as the primary means for controlling glare. Rather, glare control shall be achieved primarily through the use of such means as cutoff fixtures, shields and baffles, and appropriate application of fixture mounting height, wattage, aiming angle and fixture placement. Glare surface suppressants that effectively reduce glare may also be utilized.
(2) 
All lighting shall be aimed, located, designed, fitted and maintained so as not to present a hazard to pilots or the safe operation of aircraft.
(3) 
Directional fixtures such as floodlights and spotlights shall be shielded, installed and aimed that they do not project their output past the object being illuminated or skyward.
(4) 
Except as permitted for certain recreational lighting, fixtures not meeting IESNA Full-cutoff criteria shall not be mounted in excess of sixteen (16) feet above finished grade. Fixtures meeting IESNA Full-Cutoff criteria shall not be mounted in excess of twenty (20) feet above finished grade.
(5) 
Flag lighting sources shall have a beam spread no greater than necessary to illuminate the flag and shall be adequately shielded.

Height control description.
The HCA is described by means of the following terms:
1. 
Horizontal surface.
A horizontal plane 150 feet above the established airport elevation, the perimeter of which is constructed by swinging arcs of a specified radii from the center of each end of the primary surface of each runway of each airport and connecting the adjacent arcs by lines tangent to those arcs. The radius of each arc is 10,000 feet. The radius of the arc specified for each end of a runway will have the same arithmetical value.
2. 
Conical surface.
A surface extending outward and upward from the periphery of the horizontal surface at a slope of 20 to 1 for a horizontal distance of 4,000 feet past the horizontal surface.
3. 
Approach surface or break slope.
A surface longitudinally centered on the extended runway centerline and extending outward and upward from each end of the primary surface. An approach surface is applied to each end of each runway based upon the type of approach available or planned for that runway end.
i. 
The inner edge of the approach surface is the same width as the primary surface and it expands uniformly to a width of 3,500 feet for that end of a nonprecision instrument runway other than utility, having visibility minimums greater that three-fourths of a statute mile.
ii. 
The approach surface extends for a horizontal distance of 10,000 feet at a slope of 34 to 1 for all nonprecision instrument runways other than utility.
4. 
Transitional surface.
These surfaces extend outward and upward at right angles to the runway centerline and the runway centerline extended at a slope of 7 to 1 from the sides of the primary surface and from the sides of the approach surfaces. Transitional surfaces for those portions of the precision approach surface which project through and beyond the limits of the conical surface, extend a distance of 5,000 feet measured horizontally from the edge of the approach surface and at right angles to the runway centerline.
F. 
Height regulations:
All structures hereafter erected, reconstructed, altered, or enlarged, and all objects of natural growth placed, replaced, planted, replanted, or altered in the HCA, shall comply with height restrictions, rules, and regulations from time to time promulgated by the Federal Aviation Administration (the “FAA”). The HCA shall be automatically amended from time to time to be in conformity with the height regulations, restrictions, and rules promulgated over time by the FAA. Except as limited by the foregoing FAA height restrictions, rules, and regulations, all structures located in the ADZ may be erected, reconstructed, altered, or enlarged to a height limited only by a floor area ratio of 12.0.
