(6) Environmental performance standards. See Article VI.

(7) Landscape regulations. See Article X.

(8) Additional provisions.

(A) Single family structure spacing. In this district, a minimum of 15 feet between each group of eight single family structures must be provided by plat.

(B) Minimum 10-foot setback in CA- 1(A)-CP and CA-1(A)-SP districts. In the CA-1(A)-CP and CA-1(A)-SP districts, a 10 foot setback is required that is measured from the street curb as established by the Dallas Central Business District Streets and Vehicular Circulation Plan, Ordinance No. 13262, as amended. When an owner establishes a setback on his property greater than the 10 foot requirement, a floor area bonus of six times the additional setback area is allowed. The maximum permitted floor area ratio with a bonus is 24 to one.

(C) Sidewalk regulations. In this district, a sidewalk must be provided between the back of the street curb and the face of a building at grade in accordance with this subsection. The face of a building is behind the columns for a building with exterior columns.

(i) Average sidewalk width equals the total sidewalk surface area divided by the lineal feet of frontage.

(aa) Each frontage on each blockface must contain the required average sidewalk width.

(bb) The computation of average sidewalk width excludes the area occupied by structural walls or columns.

(cc) In computing average sidewalk width, the surface area at a corner is counted only once.

(ii) In a CA-1(A)-CP district, sidewalks must be constructed and maintained in accordance with the following regulations:

(aa) An average sidewalk width of 18 feet is required.

(bb) A minimum sidewalk width of 12 feet that is unobstructed by any structure or planting is required. The 12 foot minimum sidewalk width may be divided into seven and five foot minimum segments.

(iii) In the CA-1(A)-SP district, sidewalks must be constructed and maintained in accordance with the following regulations:

(aa) A building with a floor area ratio of more than 15 to one is subject to the requirements of the CA-1(A)-CP district in Subparagraph (ii).

(bb) A building with a floor area ratio of 15 to one or less must have an average sidewalk width of 15 feet and a minimum sidewalk width of nine feet that is unobstructed by any structure or planting.

(cc) All other buildings must provide a minimum sidewalk width of 10 feet with seven feet unobstructed by any structure or planting.

(v) Waiver of sidewalk width requirements. An applicant for a sidewalk width waiver shall submit an application to the director on a form approved by the director and signed by all owners of property abutting the sidewalk. The director shall take into account the needs of pedestrians and the proximity of the sidewalk to intersections and crosswalks, transit stops, parks and playgrounds, and other pedestrian-intensive areas when considering the application. The director may grant a sidewalk waiver if the director finds:

(aa) the potential pedestrian traffic in the area does not warrant the width of the sidewalk required;

(bb) the waiver will facilitate an amenity that promotes pedestrian activity such as sidewalk seating areas, enhanced landscaping, or retail kiosks; or

(cc) there are sufficient alternative pedestrian passageways to accommodate pedestrian traffic in the area.

The granting of a waiver does not preclude the city from requiring compliance with all sidewalk standards at some later time and assessing the abutting owners for the cost of the installation or replacement.

(9) Commercial parking garages and surface parking lots.

(A) Intent. The intent of this paragraph is to create a distinct boundary between public space and private parking facilities, raise the aesthetic standards for parking facilities, and improve the quality of right-of-ways.

(B) Definitions. In this paragraph:

(i) COMMERCIAL PARKING GARAGE means a multistory vehicle parking facility that is operated as a business enterprise by charging a fee for parking.

(x) Private license granted. The city council hereby grants a private license to the owners of all commercial parking garages and surface parking lots in this district for the exclusive purpose of authorizing compliance with the parkway landscaping requirements. A property owner is not required to pay an initial or annual fee for this license. This private license shall not terminate at the end of any specific time period, however, the city council retains the right to terminate this license whenever in its judgment the purpose or use of this license is inconsistent with the public use of the right-of-way or whenever the purpose or use of this license is likely to become a nuisance. A property owner is not required to comply with any landscaping requirement of this subparagraph if compliance is made impossible due to the termination of this license. This provision controls over Article VI, “License for Use of Public Right-of-Way,” of Chapter 43, “Streets and Sidewalks,” of this code. Note: This private license does not eliminate the need for a parkway landscape permit or commercial general liability insurance.

(xi) Parkway landscape permit. A parkway landscape permit must be obtained from the director for all landscaping in the parkway.

(aa) An application for a parkway landscape permit must be in writing on a form approved by the director and accompanied by plans or drawings showing the area of the parkway affected and the planting proposed.

(bb) Upon receipt of the application, the director shall circulate it to all affected city departments, utilities, and other franchise holders for review and comment. If, after receiving those comments, the director determines that the construction and planting proposed will not be inconsistent with and will not unreasonably impair the public use of the right-of-way, he shall issue a parkway landscape permit to the property owner; otherwise, he shall deny the permit.

(cc) A parkway landscape permit issued by the director is subject to immediate revocation upon written notice if at any time he determines that the use of the parkway authorized by the permit is inconsistent with or unreasonably impairs the public use of the right-of-way.

(dd) The issuance of a parkway landscape permit under this subparagraph does not excuse the property owner, his agents, or employees from liability in the installation or maintenance of trees or shrubs in the right-of-way.

(xii) Xeriscape. The use of xeriscape is encouraged.

(L) Additional regulations. All commercial parking garages and surface parking lots must comply with Subsection (e), “Wheel Guards and Barriers,” Subsection (f), “Passenger Unloading Zone Required in Certain Cases,” and Subsection (g), “Stacking Space Required in Certain Cases,” of Section 51A-4.306, “Off-Street Parking in the Central Business District.” Consult Section 51A-4.306, “Off-Street Parking in the Central Business District,” for regulations concerning off-street parking in the Central Business District.

If the board grants a special exception, it must specify the length of time the special exception is effective.

(ii) Lighting. The board shall not grant a special exception to a lighting requirement unless the board also finds, after a public hearing, that the special exception will not compromise the safety of persons using the parking. In determining whether to grant this special exception, the board shall consider:

(aa) the extent to which the parking will be used after dark;

(bb) the crime statistics for the area;

SEC. 51A-4.125. MIXED USE DISTRICTS.

(a) In general. Single or multiple uses may be developed on one site in a mixed use district as in any other district; however, in order to encourage a mixture of uses and promote innovative and energy conscious design, efficient circulation systems, the conservation of land, and the minimization of vehicular travel, density bonuses are awarded to developments that qualify as “mixed use projects” as defined in Subsection (b). If a development does not qualify as an MUP, it is limited to a “base” dwelling unit density and floor area ratio. When a development qualifies as an MUP, it earns a higher maximum dwelling unit density and floor area ratio and, in some instances, a greater maximum structure height. Additional FAR bonuses are incrementally awarded to encourage the inclusion of “residential” as part of an MUP. The exact increments of increase vary depending on the actual use categories mixed and the district that the MUP is in. For more information regarding the exact increments of increase, consult the yard, lot, and space regulations in this section governing the particular district of interest.

(b) Qualifying as a mixed use project. To qualify as a MIXED USE PROJECT (MUP) for purposes of this section, a development must contain uses in two or more of the following categories, and the combined floor areas of the uses in each category must equal or exceed the following percentages of the total floor area of the project:

MU-1 AND MU-1(SAH) DISTRICTS
Use Category	% of Total Floor Area
Lodging	15%
Office	15%
Residential	15%
Retail and personal service	10%

MU-2 AND MU-2(SAH) DISTRICTS
Use Category	% of Total Floor Area
Lodging	10%
Office	15%
Residential	10%
Retail and personal service	5%

MU-3 AND MU-3(SAH) DISTRICTS
Use Category	% of Total Floor Area
Lodging	10%
Office	15%
Residential	10%
Retail and personal service	5%
Wholesale, distribution, and storage	15%

(1) If an MUP is proposed, a project plan must be submitted to and approved by the building official.

(2) If an MUP is constructed in phases:

(A) the first phase must independently qualify as an MUP under Subsection (b); and

(B) each subsequent phase combined with all previous phases already completed or under construction must also qualify as an MUP under Subsection (b).

(3) An MUP may consist of two or more building sites if they are developed under a unified development plan. The plan must be:

(A) signed by or on behalf of all of the owners of the property involved;

(B) approved by the building official; and

(4) When an MUP consists of multiple building sites, its development standards and off-street parking and loading requirements are calculated by combining the sites and treating them as a single building site.

(d) MU-1 and MU-1(SAH) districts.

(1) Purpose. To provide for the development of moderate density retail, office, and/or multifamily residential uses in combination on single or contiguous building sites; to encourage innovative and energy conscious design, efficient circulation systems, the conservation of land, and the minimization of vehicular travel.
