Farmersville, TX Parking Rules: Driveway Rules (2026)

Section 71-168(a) applies across nearly every zoning district in the city, including A, SF-1, SF-2, SF-3, 2F, MF-1, MF-2, P, O, NS, GR, C, HC, I-1, I-2 and PD, and bars diminishing the open space required in a front or side yard except for specifically listed improved surfaces. A single-family lot may pave one single-driveway serving a one-car pad, carport or garage, one double-driveway or single-driveway serving a two- or three-car pad, carport or garage, or one loop driveway or loop driveway with extension, defined in Section 71-167 by exact width limits: a single-driveway may not exceed 12 feet at the property line, and a double-driveway may not exceed 24 feet.

Corner lots and through lots may add a second driveway onto the adjoining street under paragraphs (8) and (9). Multi-family and non-residential lots may combine single- and double-driveways up to a combined 45 feet of width at the property line, or install a parking lot sized to the required number of spaces. Subsection (b) lets the city manager waive these limits case by case. Subsection (c) caps the total of all impervious surfaces, driveway, parking pad, parking lot and any other paving, at 75 percent of the required front and side yard area, excluding a code-compliant sidewalk within the sidewalk area.
