Sec. 10-33. District Purpose Statements

   a.   AG Agricultural District

      The AG district is primarily intended to provide a location for land situated on the fringe of an urban area and used for agricultural purposes. The types and intensity of uses permitted in this district should encourage and protect agricultural uses until urbanization is warranted and the appropriate change in district classification is determined.

   b.   AR Adaptive Reuse District

      The AR district is primarily intended to allow for the rehabilitation and reuse of residential buildings and other structures that are generally within but not exclusively, historic residential neighborhoods and the streets that form the boundary of such districts. The district provides property owners with the flexibility to use older homes for low-intensity commercial or office activities without detracting from the essential residential character of the area, nor allowing a proliferation of heavier commercial uses.

   c.   RPO Restricted Professional Office District

      The RPO district is primarily intended to accommodate office uses that serve as a buffer between commercial and residential areas. It is also intended to facilitate the conversion of residential properties that are located in an area in transition from residential to other uses.

   d.    POD Planned Office District

      "POD" Planned Office Development District, is established to provide for professional and office facilities in appropriate locations. The "POD" District will be used where office type facilities are needed to serve developing residential communities located throughout the city and shall be designed and developed as a unit according to an approved site plan. Development criteria are required that will ensure a compatible relationship between the "POD" development and the close-by residential areas. The owner shall submit a plan for the use and development of all or part of such tract of land to the Planning and Zoning Commission and the City Council. Any significant change in the site development plan requires approval of the Planning and Zoning Commission and the City Council through a public hearing process. The plan for the proposed development must present a unified and organized arrangement of buildings and service facilities, such that a functional relationship within the property is achieved. The arrangement of buildings and service facilities shall not adversely affect the use of properties immediately adjacent to the development. Reasonable additional requirements as to landscaping, lighting, signs or other advertising devices, screening, access ways, building setbacks, and height and area limitations may be imposed by the Planning and Zoning Commission for the protection of the adjoining property.

   e.   MU- O Municipal Use Overlay District

      The Municipal Use category is available for all land owned by the City of Tyler that is used for municipal purposes. Traditionally all land uses related to a municipal purpose were allowed on land owned by the city and city owned land could be and was zoned in any category because all municipal purpose uses were allowed through the Use Chart. The purpose of this new category is to identify on the Zoning Map all of those tracts which are owned by the City and which are used for municipal purposes.

   f.    INT Institutional District
T      he purpose of the INT district is to provide for the development and regulation of medical facilities and hospitals, public buildings, religious institutions, as well as educational facilities and all related and accessory facilities, including classrooms, offices, assembly halls, cafeterias, dormitories, indoor and outdoor recreational facilities, and physical plant. (Ord. No. 0-2009-100; 9/23/09)

   g.    OSP Open Space and Parkland District

      The OSP district is primarily intended to preserve and enhance public open, natural, and improved park and recreational areas and private open, natural, and improved park and recreational areas that are open to the public and identified in the Tyler 1st Comprehensive Plan and on the Tyler 1st Future Land Use Guide. (Ord. No. 0-2014-33; 4/23/14)

   h.    CC-O Commercial Corridor Overlay District

      The CC-O district is primarily intended to improve the aesthetic environment of the city’s major commercial streets and arterial corridors through a process of redevelopment and reuse of private property by private interests and public infrastructure improvements in the public right-of-way. The CC-O district is further intended to:

      1.   Support, higher density, pedestrian- and transit-friendly development near intersections of major arterial streets, highways, and gateways to the City of Tyler.

      2.   Encourage infill and redevelopment that is compatible with the natural beauty of the Tyler area and provides an attractive sequence of buildings and land uses.

      3.   Increase the amount and positive visual and environmental effects of tree planting and landscaping in the city.

      4.   Provide pedestrians and bicyclists safe, comfortable, and attractive access to sidewalks, crosswalks, and private properties, while accommodating automobiles.

      5.   Enhance the traffic function of major roads by managing access to adjacent land uses (see Article V, Division D)

      6.   Provide effective and attractive street lighting.

   i.   HD-O Historic Overlay District

      The HD-O district is primarily intended to implement the Tyler 1st Comprehensive Plan by establishing and preserving structures, sites or areas that have outstanding historical and cultural significance As an overlay district, the HD-O is applied in conjunction with the underlying zoning district(s) for the area. The procedures for enacting the HD-O District are contained in Article VIII., Division J. (Ord. No. 0-2008-147; 11/19/08) (Ord. No. 0-2012-83, 10/10/12) (Ord. No. 0-2014-33; 4/23/14) (Ord. No. O-2018-17; 2/14/18)

Sec. 10-40. Use Groups

The use table classifies land uses into five major groupings: Residential, Public and Civic, Commercial, Industrial, Agricultural, and Other. These are referred to as “Use Groups.”

Sec. 10-41. Use Categories and Standards

Each use group is further divided into “Use Categories.” These categories classify land uses based on common characteristics, such as the type of products sold, site conditions, or the amount of activity on the site. The “Use Standard” column in the use table provides a cross-reference to additional standards that apply to some uses, whether or not they are allowed as a permitted use or special use.
