Exhibit A
Attached are the changes to the Subdivision Regulations that will be made with the adoption of
this ordinance:
Underlined text is new and will be added.
driveways, and parking facilities shall be designed to the City standards set forth herein. Every..iot_of a
subdivision must have access to public right-of-way accepted by the appropriate governmental agency. All streets
within a subdivision shall be drawn and described on the plat of record.
Circulation within the urban area shall be provided in accordance with the following design criteria note that
references to residential neighborhoods and subdivisions apply to manufactured home parks as well as traditional
site -built home developments :
A. Each subdivision shall provide for the continuation of all arterial streets and highways as shown
on the thoroughfare plan. Arterial streets should be located on the perimeter of the residential
neighborhood.
B. Collector and local streets should be designed to provide access to each parcel of land within the
residential neighborhood and within industrial areas, and in a manner that will discourage use by through
traffic. They should be planned so that future urban expansion will not require the conversion of minor
streets to arterial routes.
C. Collector streets should be designed to provide a direct route from other minor streets to the
major street and expressway system and to provide access to public facilities within the neighborhood;
however, collector streets should not be aligned in a manner that will encourage their use by through
traffic.
D. Ingress and egress to single family residential properties should be provided only on local or
collector streets.
E. Pedestrian ways should be separated from roadways used by vehicular traffic. Sidewalks, as set
forth in Table 33030-A shall be installed to provide all residential areas with direct access to all
neighborhood facilities, including the elementary school, parks and playgrounds, churches, and shopping
centers.
F. Bicycle lanes and bicycle paths should be separated from vehicular and pedestrian traffic and
should be designed to provide access to major focal points within and beyond the neighborhood.
G. A site triangle shall be established at all intersections. On local residential streets the sight
triangle shall be based on the curb line, on all other streets it shall be based on the right-of-way line. The
sides of the triangle shall extend for twenty-five (25) feet along the right-of-way/curb lines from the
projected intersection of said right-of-way/curb lines. Where the right-of-way/curb curves as the
intersection is approached, the tangents at the points of beginning for the comer curve shall be projected
to determine the origination of the sides of the site triangle. No construction, planting or grading shall
be permitted to impinge on the site triangle between the heights of three (3) and seven (7) feet as
measured from the crowns of the adjacent streets, except as approved by the Director.

No undivided driveway wider than thirty (30) feet from curb face to curb face shall be permitted. No divided
driveway shall exceed forty-five (45) feet in width at the property line; Each drive access in a divided driveway
must be a minimum of twenty (20) feet wide to provide adequate fire access. It is the developer's responsibility
to carefully plan the driveway access and median design to ensure safe vehicular access.
33043 Spacing Between Driveways
Excluding single family residential uses, the minimum distances between driveways shall correspond with Table
33030-A.
33044 Spacing Between Driveways and Intersections
On local streets, no driveway shall be permitted closer to a comer than sixty (60) feet unless lot dimensions
prohibit such spacing.
On collector streets, no driveways shall be permitted closer to a corner than seventy-five (75) feet unless lot
dimensions prohibit such spacing.
On minor arterial streets, no driveways shall be permitted closer to a corner than one hundred twenty (120) feet.

but no credit shall be given for concrete ort other impervious surfaces.
D. Landscape Plan Requirements. Prior to preliminary plat approval, or detailed development plan
approval if deferral of the plan is permitted, the subdivider shall submit and receive approval of a
landscape plan demonstrating compliance with the landscape requirements contained herein. Plans shall
show all dimensions, types of materials, width of bufferyards, size and spacing of vegetative materials, and
plans for providing water to plants. The plans shall demonstrate that landscaping and buffering materials
will:
1. Abate objectionable noise, light, glare, visual clutter, dust, or loss of privacy.
2. Adequately accomplish the purpose for which they were intended.
37030 Required Landscape Installation
A. A minimum percentage of the total lot area of property on which development, construction or
reconstruction occurs after the effective date of this article shall be devoted to landscape development in
accordance with the following schedule. These requirements shall not apply to the development,
construction or reconstruction of single-family detached or two (2) family residential structures except
when such structures abut an arterial street.
Exceptions to this chapter may be granted to require a lesser amount of landscaping, by the Commission, if
the aesthetic, buffering and environmental intent of this chapter is met, and the reduction of the landscape
area results in the preservation of a natural feature having comparable value to the reduced landscape
requirements.
B. The landscaping shall be placed upon that portion of a tract or lot that is being developed. Fifty
percent (50%) of the required landscaped area and required plantings shall be installed between the front
property lines and the building being constructed. Undeveloped portions of a tract or lot shall not be
considered landscaped, except as specifically approved by the Commission.
C. Credit for trees. In order to reward the preservation of existing trees, one hundred percent
(100%) of the crown area of undisturbed existing trees shall be reduced from the landscape area
requirements; provided that the area surrounding

satisfying the park land dedication requirements of this ordinance, except that the City reserves -the -right to require
the dedication of land for public park purposes in accordance with Section 42020 when one (1) or more acres of
land would be required to satisfy the park land dedication requirements of this ordinance.
42020 Formula for Calculating Area of Park Land
The acreage to be contributed prior to final approval by the Council of any residential subdivision, includine a
manufactured home park subdivision, shall be pro -rated in an amount equal to one (1) acre for each one hundred
fifty (150) new dwelling units projected to occupy the fully developed subdivision. Subdivisions in which dwelling
units were built after February 14, 1988, on an illegal lot shall also pay a fee -in -lieu for the existing units.
42030 Fee Payment In -lieu of Park Land Dedication
When the amount of land required by Section 42020 is less than three (3) acres the Council may require the
subdivider to pay a fee -in -lieu of park land dedication. Where the payment of a fee -in -lieu of park land dedication
is required or acceptable to the Council as provided for in this ordinance, such fee shall be in an amount equal to
two hundred twenty-five dollars ($225) per new dwelling unit projected to occupy the fully developed subdivision
except that where structures each containing more than four (4) dwelling units are projected to be developed the fee
shall be in an amount equal to the greater of nine hundred dollars ($900) or one hundred twenty-five dollars ($125)
per dwelling unit. The fee fbi a m=ttfitetured home park stibdivision shall be ealettlated in the same nt==L as th t
for a stmeture eontaining more than fiDtn (4) dwelling tmits, ttrtless the paTk is designed to aeeon=todate fewer-timn
fbtrL (4) dwelling tinits in whieh ease the sitigle family payrnerit shall apply Subdivisions in which dwelling units
were built after February 14, 1988, on an illegal lot shall also pay a fee -in -lieu for the existing units. The subdivider
shall tender and pay over to the City said fee prior to recordation of the final plat.
42040 Reservation of Future Park Land
At the discretion of the City Council, upon recommendation of the Planning Commission, a subdivider may
dedicate more land than would be required by the formulas herein set=out and receive a written credit against future
mandatory public park land dedications. Where a subdivider dedicates land against future requirements the
development which is thereby relieved of all or part of its mandatory park land dedication requirement must be in
the same primary or secondary zones as established by Section 42090 C. as that served by the dedicated credit land.
The credit shall attach to the relieved land and remain with the relieved land, regardless of change in ownership
thereof.
42050 Subdivision Changes
In the event a subdivider deviates from the approved preliminary plat in final platting thereby increasing the density
of population over the earlier population density estimates made under this article, or where the use of property is
changed from a non-residential use to a residential use, the owner or subdivider shall be obligated to provide
additional land or fee to compensate for the increase in population prior to the City issuing a building permit or
occupancy permit.

Exhibit B
Attached are the changes to the Subdivision Regulations that will incorporate manufactured
home subdivision requirements with the adoption of this ordinance:
Underlined text is new and will be added.
19. The following maintenance note: The subdivider or subsequent owners of the
landscaped property, or the manager or agent of the owner, shall be responsible for the
maintenance of all landscape areas. Said areas shall be maintained so as to present a healthy,
neat and orderly appearance at all times and shall be kept free of refuse and debris. All planted
areas shall be provided with a readily available water supply and watered as necessary to ensure
continuous healthy growth and development. M4intenance shall include the replacement of all
dead plant material if that material was used to meet the requirements of the Subdivision
Regulations.
20. Screening shall be provided for all proposed dumpsters.
21. Required signature blocks (see Appendix Q.
22. A copy of the water pollution abatement plan approved by the Texas Natural Resources
Conservation Commission if such plan is required by the State.
23. The following notes must be added to those plans designed for the Manufactured Home
Park use:
a.) Skirting or underpinning of the manufactured home unit is required and must consist of
properly ventilated, all-weather, durable material that is complementary to the manufactured
home unit. The property owner must ensure that any skirting device is kept in good repair and
condition for the life of the use. Skirting is not required if a ground -set foundation is used.
b.) Installation of a manufactured home must meet the manufacturers recommended
installation requirements and be performed by a State licensed installer. If those cannot be
obtained, installation must meet the State standards. Every effort shall be made to minimize the
distance between the home and the ground, providing only the minimum crawl space necessary
to access the undercarriage of the unit. State inspection of the installation must be made. (If the
unit will be installed in a park within the City Iimits, the following must be added to the note:
In addition, the property owner shall cause an inspection of the installation in accordance with
the City Building Code to be made by the Building Official prior to habitation of the housing
unit.)
