SECTION 1.
Section 17-410 of the Zoning Ordinance of the City of Kennedale, Texas, as amended, is hereby
amended to read as follows:
Sec. 17-410. "OT" old town district.
(a) Adoption of district, purpose. The "OT" district boundaries shall be the general area depicted as the
downtown village and town center in the 2012 Comprehensive Plan and specifically as shown in exhibit A
and described in exhibit B attached with this ordinance. This district has a unique character as it allows a
wide range of mixed uses that include potential historical structures, older single-family residences and
existing new single-family residences, duplexes, multifamily, institutional, and commercial uses. This area
has been in transition for over thirty (30) years and will continue to redevelop with a mix of uses on the
remaining undeveloped lots. The purpose of the regulations in this section is to promote a central place for
civic activity in Kennedale as well as to preserve and expand the original old town area to serve as a
gateway into the center of Kennedale, in a manner that distinguishes it from neighboring communities. The
regulations in this section are intended to encourage a relatively dense mix of residences and businesses
that create a built environment which is both aesthetically pleasing, and which encourages walkability and
public gatherings.
(b) District regulations. Properties within the "OT" district shall be governed by regulations approved by the city
council either as a planned development or as one of four subdistricts that have been created for this
district. Unless governed by a planned development district, all properties within this district shall be zoned
as one of the following subdistricts:
Subdistrict 1 (SD-1) shall preserve the existing single family residential uses and promote historic
residential building designs in this area.
Subdistrict 2 (SD-2) shall promote a mix of single family residential and low intensity retail in this area, to
be housed in residential structures that are similar to the building designs and materials allowed in
subdistrict 1.
Subdistrict 3 (SD-3) shall promote mainly institutional uses in historical or the modern interpretation of
storefront type building designs in the area.
Subdistrict 4 (SD-4) shall promote a mix of residential and non-residential uses in historical or the modern
interpretation of storefront type building designs in the area.
These subdistricts are envisioned to be created in the general areas depicted in exhibit A; however
individual properties may be zoned as one of the other subdistricts or as a planned development district as
deemed appropriate by the city council. Existing planned development districts within the boundaries of
the"OT" district shall remain in effect until rezoned.
(c) Permitted uses. The uses permitted in the "OT" district include those listed in the "schedule of uses" found
in section 17-421 hereof. Any use not expressly authorized and permitted therein is expressly prohibited in
this district, unless otherwise allowed as a planned development or in conformance with section 17-427 of
this article dealing with new and unlisted uses.
(d) Special exception uses. In order to allow for certain uses which, because of their nature or unusual
character, cannot be unconditionally permitted in this district, yet would or could be an appropriate or
compatible use under certain controlled circumstances and locations, the board of adjustment may, after
public hearing thereon, authorize and grant the issuance of a special use permit for such special exception
uses allowed in the "schedule of uses" in section 17-421 of this article. The issuance of the permit by the
board shall be contingent upon reasonable and appropriate conditions and safeguards, including the length
of time, so as to properly protect any adjacent property, use or neighborhood character, as well as insure
Page 2
the appropriate conduct of the special exception use of the land and buildings granted. See section 17-422

Ordinance are in direct conflict with the provisions of such ordinances and such code, in which event
the conflicting provisions of such ordinances and such code are hereby repealed.
