(1) In an GO district, single-family, duplex, and multiple-family uses must be a component of an office building and comprise no more than five percent of the total floor area of the building. (2) Notwithstanding any other provision in this chapter, a facility that meets all of the requirements of Article 1011n, V.T.C.A., may locate in any residential zone or district in the city as a matter of right. Unless otherwise directed by the city attorney, the building official and any other city officer or employee charged with enforcement of this chapter shall construe Article 1011n by substituting Congress’ definition of a handicapped person in the Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988, as amended, for the state’s definition of “disabled person” in that article. (b) Specific residential uses. The following residential uses are subject to the general provisions in Subsection (a) and the regulations below: (1) Single-family. (A) Definition: One dwelling unit located on a lot. (B) Districts permitted: Residential districts except MH; nonresidential districts except NO, LO, MO, and industrial districts.

(aa) The board of adjustment may grant a special exception to authorize a rentable accessory dwelling unit in any district when, in the opinion of the board, the accessory dwelling unit will not adversely affect neighboring properties. (bb) If a minimum of one additional off-street parking space is not provided, the board shall determine if that will create a traffic hazard. The board may require an additional off-street parking space be provided as a condition of granting this special exception. (cc) In granting a special exception under this subparagraph, the board shall require the applicant to: (I) deed restrict the subject Property to require owner-occupancy on the premises; and (II) annually register the rental property with the city’s single family non-owner occupied rental program.

(cc) Industrialized housing must have exterior siding, roofing, roof-pitch, foundation fascia, and fenestration compatible with the single-family dwellings located within 500 feet of the lot on which the industrialized housing is proposed to be located. “Compatible” as used in this subparagraph means similar in application, color, materials, pattern, quality, shape, size, slope, and other characteristics; but does not necessarily mean identical.

For purposes of this provision, the distance between uses is measured in a straight line, without regard to intervening structures or objects, between the nearest boundaries of the building sites on which the uses are located.

(C) Required off-street parking: Except as provided in Section 51A-4.301(a)(2)(B), one space for each dwelling unit. If an SUP is required for this use, the off-street parking requirement may be established in the ordinance granting the SUP. In determining this requirement, the city council shall consider the nature of the proposed use and the degree to which the use would create traffic hazards or congestion given the capacity of nearby streets, the trip generation characteristics of the use, the availability of public transit and the likelihood of its use, and the feasibility of traffic mitigation measures. (D) Required off-street loading: None. (E) Additional provisions: (i) No certificate of occupancy is required for this use. (ii) This use liberalizes current restrictions on the number of unrelated persons who may reside together in a dwelling unit in the city for the exclusive benefit of handicapped persons seeking to permanently reside together as a single housekeeping unit.

For purposes of this paragraph, notice is given to the applicant by depositing the same properly addressed and postage paid in the United States mail. The proper address for purposes of this notice requirement is the address provided by the applicant on the application. No SUP shall be required for uses that operate in justifiable reliance upon a valid confirmation letter issued by the director. (v) Any aggrieved person may appeal a decision of the director that an SUP is required for this use. Such appeals shall be heard and decided by the board of adjustment. An appeal to the board must be made within 15 days after the director gives written notice that the SUP is required. Appeal is made by filing a written notice of appeal on a form approved by the board. [See Section 51A-4.703.] No fee is required to appeal the decision of the director to the board. (vi) If two or more facilities are within 1,000 feet of each other and otherwise in permissible locations, the first one lawfully established and continually operating thereafter is the conforming use.
