Proposed Use: Stop Six Design Overlay District/Map Amendment
Request: From: Various Zoning Districts
To: Create the boundaries for Stop Six ("SS") Design District Overlay
Land Use Compatibility: No effect.
Comprehensive Plan Consistency: Requested change is consistent.
Staff Recommendation: Approval
Background:
The City Council initiated an amendment to create a Design Overlay District for the Stop Six area to spur
significant improvement of development, enable continued revitalization of the Stop Six area, and
promote higher quality development of new residential structures. The objective of the Standards and
Guidelines for the Stockyards Design Overlay District (the "District") is to provide guidance and establish
design standards for this type of development. This is a companion case to the text amendment creating
the district, ZC-19-111.
The Stop Six Design Overlay District is generally bounded by Loop 820, Wilbarger, Miller Ave, and a
railroad. The district standards apply to the entire area.
• On March 23, 2010, the City Council approved Resolution No. 3869 to update the Stop Six
Neighborhood Empowerment Zone Strategic Plan, which contains design guidelines for single
family development.
• On January 29, 2019, the City Council approved M&C G-19467 which amended the Neighborhood
Empowerment Zone Program (NEZ) Basic Incentives and Tax Abatement Policy, to include minor
design guidelines for single family development and requires compliance with those guidelines
and compliance with any design guidelines in adopted NEZ strategic plans to receive NEZ
incentives.

• On March 19, 2019, the City Council approved Resolution No. 5068-03-2019 to establish Stop Six
design standards for single -family development receiving NEZ incentives. Councilmember Gyna
Bivens has requested that design standards be applied to all new single-family development in
Stop Six regardless of NEZ eligibility.
