WHEREAS, on the 18th day of April, 1955 the City Council of the City of
uless, Texas, in accordance with State of Texas Enabling Laws, Article 1011 a to
1, Vernons Texas Civil Statutes, did adopt a general Zoning Ordinance and Zoning
Thstrict Map which classified the area within the corporate boundaries into
various use districts and, from time to time, zoning changes and amendments have
been enacted and adopted and zoning districts have been expanded to cover territory
annexed to the City of Euless; and,
WHEREAS, through experience in administration of the Ordinance the City
Council has found the Zoning Ordinance of the City of Euless, Texas, as adopted
April 18th, 1955, no longer affords full protection of the general welfare of the
community and to the individual citizens in the peaceful enjoyment of their homes
and properties; and as a result of urban growth and changing conditions has found it
desirable in the interest of promoting the health, safety, morals, convenience and
general welfare of the people to request the Planning and Zoning Commission to make
a comprehensive study of the Zoning Ordinance and existing land use and to recom-
mend such changes in the Zoning Ordinance and District Map as the Commission
found appropriate and desirable; and,
WHEREAS, the Planning and Zoning Commission, after study, was of the
opinion that the Zoning Ordinance of the City of Euless should be changed in order
to best serve the public interest and general welfare, and to lessen the congestion
jn the street, to provide increased safety from fire, panic and other dangers, to
provide adequate light and air, to prevent overcrowding of land, to avoid
undue concentration of population, and to facilitate the provision of adequate
transportation, water, sewerage, schools, parks, and other requirements; and,

SECTION 5 PURPOSE OF ZONING DISTRICTS
5-100 EACH ZONING DISTRICT HEREIN ESTABLISHED IS PROVIDED FOR A SPECIFIC
PURPOSE AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FOR THE LOCATION OF
VARIOUS TYPES OF USES THROUGHOUT THE CITY AS FOLLOWS:
5,-101 "R-1", SINGLE FAMILY DWELL.ING DISTRICT„ This district'comprises
the preponderant portion of the existing housing development in the
City of Euless and is considered to be the proper classification for
large areas of the undeveloped land remaining in the City appropriate
for single-family use. This district is intended to be composed of
single-family dwellings together with the public schools, churches
and public parks essential to create basic neighborhood units. The
single-family districts are not intended to be subject to major
alterations by future amendment except where changed conditions might
justify such action or where minor adjustments in the boundaries of a
district may be appropriate to secure a reasonable development of the
land. (See Section 1-100 through 7-105)
5-102 "R-2.", TWO-FAMILY DWELLING DISTRICT: Two-family or duplex
dwellings are a recognized form of housing in the City of Euless,
particularly close to the City's Center. Such developments on average
size lots in the City have not created excessive population densities.
This district provides a low density dwelling classification appropriate
for smaller dwelling units and is largely utilized in the previously
developed sections of the City.
5»1Q
"R-3"; MULTIPLE -FAMILY DWELLING DISTRICT: This type district is
composed mainly of areas containing mixtures of single-family, two-
family and multiple -family dwellings and certain uniformly developed
multiple -family dwelling sections. The districts shown on the Zoning
District Map are medium density districts and are located in certain
areas close to the center of the City and at various outlying locations
near commercial and industrial centers where they serve as buffers
between heavy traffic generators and single-family dwelling areas.
The area regulations are designed to protect the residential character
and to prevent the overcrowding of land in the "R-3" Districts by
providing minimum standards for building spacing, yards, off-street
parking and building coverage. It is anticipated that additional high -
density or high-rise apartment areas may be designated in the "R-3"
District from time to time in the future where such change is
appropriate and adequate access and utility services can reasonably
accommodate such high density dwellings.
5,r101+ "C-1", NEIGHBORHOOD BUSINESS DISTRICT: This district is a
limited retail category intended for use near neighborhood dwelling
areas for purposes of supplying day-to-day retail needs of the
rresidents. The "C-1" District occurs most often at limited corner
locations at intersections of major thoroughfares in existing
developments and is intended For small service areas in new develop-
ment plans. Off-street parking requirements are set out for
business establishments in this district as are the requirements
for lot coverage.
- 5 -
5-105 "C-2", COMMUNITY BUSINESS DISTRICT: This district permits a much
wider variety of commercial uses that are required to service a number
of neighborhoods. It is inclusive of the type business enterprises
that make up the strip commercial areas that have developed along some
of the major thoroughfares and highways in the City of Euless. Several
types of commercial uses are included in the district that are not
normally found under prevailing zoning practices elsewhere because of
existing development. Off-street parking regulations are also set out
in this district to lessen congestion in the streets. it is anticipated
that, from time to time, additional "C-2" Community Business Districts
will be applied to the District Map where such retail service is required
to serve future development.
5n106 "L-(",LIMITED INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT: The purpose and objective of
this classification and its application is to establish industrial areas
of high operational development and environmental standards. The
requirements of this classification are intended to provide standards
of intensity of use, standards of external effects which will minimize
traffic congestion, noise, glare, air pollution, fire and safety hazards
in contiguous areas to the future airport and its related functions
and activities. Dwelling units in this district, as they are in the
light and heavy industrial districts, are prohibited. Requirements
for parking, loading, screening and signs are provided for in this
district.
5-1Q7 "I-1", LIGHT INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT: This district permits no new
dwelling development except those existing and the permissive units for
caretaker, watchmen and the like. By its nature and name, the district
permits those industries and manufacturing plants that are predominantly
light in character, have their operations conducted wholly within buildings
are more compatible than heavy manufacturing uses, and do not emit
noxious odors, noises, dust, smoke, and vibrations as do heavy manu-
facturing processes. As in other commercial and industrial districts,
off-street parking and loading facilities are required to lessen
congestion in the streets,
5-108 "I-2", HEAVY INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT: This district is much more
liberal in permissive uses of industrial and manufacturing nature and
functions and provides for the siting of enterprises thaL tend to emit
odors, noises, dust and vibrations and that are least compatible with
other uses. As in the "i-1", Light Manufacturing District, no new
dwelling uses will be permitted other than those that are now present
and as needed for caretakers and watchmen. Off-street parking and
loading facilities are required to lessen congestion in the streets.
The "I-2" districts designated on the district map are located for
convenient access to railroad facilities, major thoroughfares and
highways that now or will serve the City of Euless.
57199 "MH", MOBILE HOME[MELLING DISTRICT: The mobile home or housetrailer
is recognized as a specific form of housing for which accommodations
should be provided in proper places. To provide appropriate standards
as. to density, spacing, and use, a separate district is created and
designated for the specific purpose of providing, at appropriate locations,
areas for the development of mobile home parks, courts or subdivisions,
In certain commercial and industrial districts, a mobile hoii :develgpmenp
may be provided for by amending the Zoning District Map where such protects
are appropriately approved under a Specific Use Permit. The standards
for commercial mobile home development for transient occupancy differ
from those of a mobile home subdivision where more or less permanent
.,occupancy is an.t: i ci paced.
5-110 "SP", SPECIFIC USE PERMIT DISTRICT: Certain land uses,, because of
the..ir nature and location, are not appropriate for categorizing into
ss
specific zoning districts. Such uses include among others:, utility
installations, colleges and universities, institutions,. community facilities,,
zoos, cemeteries, country clubs, show grounds, drive-in theatres, and
,some heavy operations such as junk yards, sanitary fills and dumps, gravel
pits and other unusual land use not specifically provided for herein.
To provide for the proper handling and location of such specific uses,
provision is made for amending this ordinance to grant a permit for a
specific use in a specific location. All uses for which Specific Use
Permits may be granted are shown in the schedule listing in SECTION 7.
The procedure for approval of a Specific Use Permit includes a public
hearing and the amending ordinance may provide for certain restrictions
.and standards for operation. The indication that it is possible to
grant a Specific Use Permit in the use schedule in SECTION 7, does nol
constitute a grant of privilege for such use nor is there any obligation
to approve a Specific Use Permit unless it is the finding of the City
Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council that such a specific

the grounds thereof. The officer from whom the appeal

papers constituting the records upon which the action
appealed from was taken,

related variance on the same piece of property shall

on which the previous Board action was based. Such

tions shall in no wise have any force in law to compel
the Board of Adjustment, after a hearing, to grant
a subsequent appeal. Such subsequent appeal shall be

of its .action. If the building permit and/or Certificate
