§ VI. Newly annexed territory.  


Latest version.
  • All territory annexed to the City of Irving, Texas, hereafter shall be classified as "A", single-family dwelling district, until permanently zoned by the governing body of the City of Irving. The zoning commission shall, as soon as practicable, after annexation of any territory to the City of Irving, institute proceedings on its own motion to give the newly annexed territory a permanent zoning, and recommend the same to the city commission and the procedure to be followed shall be the same as is provided by laws for the adoption of original zoning regulations.

    In an area temporarily classified for single-family dwelling purposes only, no permit for the construction of a building other than a single-family dwelling or accessory building shall be issued by the building inspector until such permit has been specifically authorized by the city commission. Permits for the construction of buildings in a newly annexed territory prior to permanent zoning, may be authorized by the city commission under the following conditions:

    An application for any use shall be made to the building inspector, said application to show the use contemplated, a plat showing the size of the lot or tract of land being used, and the location of and the size and type of building to be constructed; and if such application is for other than a single-family dwelling or accessory building related thereto, it shall be referred by the building inspector to the city planning and zoning commission for consideration and its recommendation of the city commission, after giving due consideration to the type of permanent zoning to be applied to the area in which the application is located. Whenever such a recommendation is filed with the city commission it shall be advisory only, and the city commission may grant or deny it as the facts may justify.
