COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
Community Development Department The Economic Development Department works closely with the Community Development Department. Once you have a site selected and preliminary plans in mind, the Community Development Department will guide you through the process of planning, applying for the development and approval of your property.
Unified Development Code The Unified Development Code (UDC) contains the official zoning and development regulations for the City of Keller. The UDC is available on the City of Keller website at cityofkeller.com/communitydevelopment. You may also contact the Community Development Department staff for UDC questions and information.
Zoning Districts The zoning district of a property determines what uses are allowed on that property. The City of Keller has seven nonresidential zoning districts. When considering sites for your business, it is important to know the regulations and permitted uses for the zoning district of the potential site. Uses can be allowed “by right,� meaning that the use is permitted provided that City development standards are met, with approval of a Specific Use Permit (SUP—see page 5), or some uses will be restricted for that zoning district. In addition to permitted uses, each zoning district has landscaping, lot size, building setback and design requirements. Buildings in all zoning districts are subject to specific design, parking, lighting, signage and other standards as defined in Article 9 of the UDC. Zoning districts are defined on the Keller website at cityofkeller.com/communitydevelopment.

Freestanding Signs Typically, one monument sign is permitted per lot. If a lot has a street frontage over 600 feet total (including both frontages of a corner lot), additional monument signs may be allowed. Multi-tenant buildings are allowed to list each business on the monument sign with a size limitation determined by the size of the building. Pole signs are not allowed in the city limits of Keller.
Attached Signs Two attached signs are allowed for a single-occupant building. For multi-tenant buildings, one attached sign is permitted per business, except businesses occupying the corners of the building (with street frontage on both sides) in which case two attached signs are allowed for that business.
Permitting Building permits are required by the City of Keller for new construction, reconstruction, and renovation.
