ZONING

The Composite Zoning Ordinance establishes development standards for property within the city limits (excluding the Transit Oriented Development TOD). The ordinance is organized for quick reference and easy comprehension. It can be viewed on-line or can be purchased at City Hall for $30.00. 

This ordinance includes site development standards for each zoning district.  Each zoning district is comprised of three different components:

• Use 
• Site
• Architecture 

The ordinance is designed to be contextually adaptive, form integrated and administratively flexible. It also provides guidelines for Special Use Permits.

This ordinance includes:

• Descriptions of each of the three zoning district components: General Use, Site & Architectural standards
• Landscape & Tree Ordinance
• Off Street Parking requirements
• Building Setbacks
• Accessory Structures
• Wireless Communication Ordinance
• Special Use Permit
• Non-Conforming Uses & Structures
• Home Occupations
• Site Development Ordinance
• Zoning Variance procedures

The City of Leander does not have zoning jurisdiction outside the city limits. See the Zoning Map for current city limits. Contact your respective county with additional questions that pertain to property outside our city limits. For Williamson County the general phone number is (512) 943-1100 or www.wilcogov.org or for Travis County www.co.travis.tx.us
