Special land uses in Little Elm, TX

What the Little Elm zoning ordinance says about special land uses, district by district. Section numbers link to the official ordinance.

MF — Multifamily District

Multifamily developments must be gated, with an eight-foot masonry wall screening the site on three sides and a minimum stacking area for four vehicles at each gate (Sec. 106.03.02(l)(6)).

380 OD — US 380 Overlay District

The overlay's prohibited-unless-SUP list was cross-checked against the LC/HC/LI/HI columns of the nonresidential use table (Article V, Table B). It confirms real conflicts where the base table marks a use permitted (P) by right but the overlay downgrades it to specific-use-permit only: Religious facility ("Church or rectory" in the overlay list) is P in LC, HC, LI, and HI in the base table; School, public is P in every column including LC, HC, LI, and HI; and Commercial amusement, outdoor is P in LI and HI. Within the US 380 Overlay boundary, the overlay's Sec. 106.04.01(d)(2) list controls and these uses require a specific use permit even though the base district table alone would allow them by right.

All districts

Uses marked S (specific use permit) in the Article V use tables require town council approval through the specific use permit process (Sec. 106.02.17). Uses marked C (conditional use) must meet the supplementary standards in Sec. 106.05.02 and Sec. 106.05.02.1-.2, generally without a separate public hearing. A use marked with a blank cell is prohibited in that district without a rezoning.
