Community Development DepartmentThe 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 www.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 ten 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 6), 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 8 of the UDC. Zoning districts are defined on the Keller website at www.cityofkeller.com/communitydevelopment.

The Old Town Keller District is designed to transform the area into a historical focal point of the City with the character of a small Texas town of the early 1900’s.
