Euclidean base code (Title XI Ch.1) with airport hazard overlay separately codified in Title XI Ch.11 and oil/gas regulation in Title VI Ch.1. Current consolidated zoning ordinance enumerates 19 districts (AE, CE, SF-1, SF-2, SF-3, MH, TH, 2F, MF-16, MF-22, O-1, O-2, LR, RR, CB, C, BP I-20, TP, LI, HI, PD per §3.02) which represents a consolidation from the 28-district legacy roster (1F-1/1F-2/1F-3, MF-1/MF,2, NS, LR-1/LR-2/LR-3, C-1/C-2/C-3, IP/IP-1/IP-2/IP-3, FD, P) per the §3.03 Equivalency Table. Legacy district codes still appear on map records but new applications use current designations. MF-16/MF-22 are density-encoded (the suffix is the maximum du/acre). Profile retains legacy codes as district entries with current-code dimensional values applied via the equivalency mapping.

Worth knowing
  • **Code consolidation 28→19 districts**: The current Midland zoning code (Title XI Ch.1, §3.02 Zoning Districts Established) enumerates 19 districts: AE, CE, SF-1, SF-2, SF-3, MH, TH, 2F, MF-16, MF-22, O-1, O-2, LR, RR, CB, C, BP I-20, TP, LI, HI, plus PD. The legacy 28-district roster (1F-1/2/3, MF-1/MF,2, NS, LR-1/2/3, C-1/2/3, IP/IP-1/2/3, FD, P) appears in §3.03 Equivalency Table only — those districts no longer exist as new-application designations. Legacy P (Parking) and FD (Future Development) districts have been DROPPED entirely with no current-code mapping.
  • **MF density encoding**: MF-16 = 16 du/ac maximum (moderate density); MF-22 = 22 du/ac (urban density). The numeric suffix is literal density encoding — a developer scanning district names knows the exact base density. §6.07 density bonuses (cumulative) can add up to +30 du/ac for parking structures + +6 for ground-floor MF + +6 for 50% additional units + +3 for direct-access units, all subject to City Council approval through modified Site Plan process.
  • **CB Central Business District is the regulatory most-flexible district**: No height cap, no lot coverage cap, no front/side/rear setback minimums, exempt from the parking-proximity rule (§6.02.A.2 — vehicle parking does not need to be on-lot/contiguous/within 150 ft for CB only), and exempt from residential adjacency standards (§6.04.D.5). Effectively form-based by omission rather than design.

State preemptions

TX SB 15 — Small lot deregulation (lots ≤4,000 sf)applies
Qualifying condition
TX SB 15 (89th Lege 2025) applies statewide to qualifying small-lot residential parcels ≤4,000 sf; no city-size threshold. Midland is a Texas home-rule city in the 89th Legislature's scope. Applies per-parcel, not citywide — only triggers on lots meeting the ≤4,000 sf size threshold and the law's residential-subdivision gating predicate.
Source
Texas Legislature Online — SB 15 (89R) bill text
Effect
On qualifying lots ≤4,000 sf, state law limits municipal authority over setbacks, parking minimums, height, and bulk (FAR). Midland retains authority over use restrictions and life safety on these parcels.
Non-applicable laws (1)
TX SB 840 — Multifamily by-right on commercial/office/retail/warehouse/MU parcelsdoes_not_apply
Qualifying condition
TX SB 840 requires BOTH city population ≥150,000 AND county population ≥300,000. Midland city population 133,057 (2024 Census est.) is BELOW the 150k city threshold; Midland County population 176,832 (2024 Census est.) is also BELOW the 300k county threshold. Both gates fail — SB 840 does not apply.

Effect
No by-right MF on qualifying commercial parcels; no statutory 36 du/ac floor, 45 ft height floor, 25 ft setback cap, or 1.0/unit parking cap imposed by SB 840 on Midland.

Quirks & notes

  • **Code consolidation 28→19 districts**: The current Midland zoning code (Title XI Ch.1, §3.02 Zoning Districts Established) enumerates 19 districts: AE, CE, SF-1, SF-2, SF-3, MH, TH, 2F, MF-16, MF-22, O-1, O-2, LR, RR, CB, C, BP I-20, TP, LI, HI, plus PD. The legacy 28-district roster (1F-1/2/3, MF-1/MF,2, NS, LR-1/2/3, C-1/2/3, IP/IP-1/2/3, FD, P) appears in §3.03 Equivalency Table only — those districts no longer exist as new-application designations. Legacy P (Parking) and FD (Future Development) districts have been DROPPED entirely with no current-code mapping.
  • **MF density encoding**: MF-16 = 16 du/ac maximum (moderate density); MF-22 = 22 du/ac (urban density). The numeric suffix is literal density encoding — a developer scanning district names knows the exact base density. §6.07 density bonuses (cumulative) can add up to +30 du/ac for parking structures + +6 for ground-floor MF + +6 for 50% additional units + +3 for direct-access units, all subject to City Council approval through modified Site Plan process.
  • **CB Central Business District is the regulatory most-flexible district**: No height cap, no lot coverage cap, no front/side/rear setback minimums, exempt from the parking-proximity rule (§6.02.A.2 — vehicle parking does not need to be on-lot/contiguous/within 150 ft for CB only), and exempt from residential adjacency standards (§6.04.D.5). Effectively form-based by omission rather than design.
  • **O-2 high-rise office tier**: 98' / 7 stories with 1.2:1 FAR — by far the tallest by-right tier in the office/commercial roster outside CB and the freestanding C/HI districts where height is uncapped.
  • **Airport Overlay Zones (AOZ-1 through AOZ-4)** in Title XI Ch.11 §11-11-8 are defined by DNL noise contours: AOZ-1 between 65-70 DNL, AOZ-2 between 70-75 DNL, AOZ-3 between 75-80 DNL, AOZ-4 = launch site safety corridors. AOZ-4 specifically covers commercial space launch operations at MAF (FAA-licensed spaceport). Use prohibitions are in Table 1 attached to Ch.11, on file at the Office of the City Secretary (not retrievable via web). Conflict rule: AOZ supersedes base zoning where more restrictive; overlapping AOZs resolve to the more restrictive.
  • **Spaceport licensing creates federal-state-local stack**: Midland International is FAA-licensed for commercial space launch under 14 CFR Part 450 in addition to FAA Part 77 / Part 139 commercial airport rules. Local AOZ-4 launch corridors layer on top of federal preemption for launch safety — one of few US cities (Houston Ellington, Brownsville, Mojave) with this regulatory stack.
  • **Oil & gas regulation is parallel, not overlay**: 500 ft wellhead-to-protected-use setback per Ord. 8769 (variance via City Council) lives in Title VI Ch.1 (Gas or Oil Well Operation). Zoning ordinance §4.04.B.10 simply defers to Title VI Ch.1 ('Gas or Oil Well Operations shall conform to all applicable laws, ordinances, rules, and regulations'). Use chart §4.03 governs whether gas/oil drilling is Permitted, Limited, or SUD per district. TX HB 40 (2015) caps municipal oil/gas authority.
  • **TX SB 840 does NOT apply to Midland**: city pop 133,057 (below 150k threshold) AND county pop 176,832 (below 300k threshold). Both gates fail independently — the by-right-MF preemption does not reach Midland.
  • **TX SB 15 DOES apply per-parcel** to any qualifying lot ≤4,000 sf — limits city authority over setbacks, parking, height, and FAR on those parcels while preserving use and life-safety controls.
  • **Height step-back for tall buildings (§5.05 footnote 2)**: One foot of additional front, side, or rear yard depth required for each three feet by which any building exceeds 50 feet in height. Applies to nonresidential districts (with CB Central Business District exempt). Effectively constrains O-2 7-story builds (~98') to require ~16' of additional yard on each setback face beyond the 50' base.
  • **Townhouse (TH) parking**: Mandates 2-car enclosed garage (§3.10.D.5) in addition to general residential 2-space minimum. Most binding TH garage standard in TX; combined with 25-foot interior lot widths, shapes a specific TH building typology.
  • **MF garage mandate**: §3.12.D.3 / §3.13.D.3 require minimum 25% of total units in MF-16 / MF-22 complexes to have a 1-car enclosed garage of at least 240 SF. Adds construction cost and shapes site planning.
  • **Boom-bust Permian Basin economy** produces sharp residential absorption swings; MH and MF-16/MF-22 districts historically absorb workforce housing demand during oil-price peaks. No dedicated 'workforce housing' or 'man camp' district — these uses default to MH or PD.
  • **Multi-title regulatory geography**: Oil/gas (Title VI Ch.1), airport hazard (Title XI Ch.11), zoning (Title XI Ch.1), and historic preservation (Ord. 1585) are codified in three different parts of the city code — not consolidated. Developers must reach into at least four ordinance locations to understand applicable controls on a given parcel.

Definitions

height
Defined in Midland Zoning Ord. §2.01 (Standard Zoning Definitions) — measured per definition cross-referenced from §5.04/5.05 dimensional charts to §2.01.
lot_coverage
Maximum Lot Area allowed to be Covered by Buildings (percentage includes all buildings) — per §5.04 (residential) and §5.05 (nonresidential) dimensional charts (c§5.04, c§5.05).
setback
Yard Setback Dimensions per §5.04/§5.05; one foot of additional front, side, or rear yard depth required for each three feet by which any building exceeds 50 feet in height (per §5.05 footnote 2). Residential adjacency standards in §6.04.D.5 may impose additional setbacks for nonresidential adjacent to residential.
lot_area_per_unit
Applied in MF-16 (16 du/ac maximum) and MF-22 (22 du/ac maximum) per §3.12 and §3.13. Density calculation excludes streets, alleys, sidewalks; includes open space, recreational, and service areas.
mf_density_bonus
§6.07 Multiple-Family Density Bonus: cumulative bonuses subject to City Council approval through modified Site Plan process. Bonuses include up to +6 du/ac for 50% additional units (criteria), up to +30 du/ac if a parking structure is built, up to +6 du/ac for ground-floor multiple-family criteria, +3 du/ac for direct-access units.
