The motion passed with a unanimous voice vote.

The application, filed by Rolando Lomas, seeks approval to replat an oversized lot into two lots of approximately 6,297 square feet each in a neighborhood zoned SF-2. Lomas told the commission he plans to build one-story single-family homes of about 1,450 to 1,800 square feet on each new lot.

Wayne, a Development Services staff member, explained that the city amended its minimum lot-size ordinance a few months ago to require 8,000 square feet, and that this property qualifies as an infill lot where a special exception can be considered to encourage housing within existing urban areas. Wayne said the proposed lot widths meet SF-2 zoning dimension requirements and that no other deviations are needed to develop the parcels. He also said staff notified 18 property owners and received no responses; staff recommended approval and entered the staff report into the record.

Commissioner Danny Cross moved to approve the special exception; Commissioner Mohammed seconded. The commission voted in favor with no recorded opposition and no abstentions.

The commission opened the public hearing at 3:44 p.m. for applicant comments. Rolando Lomas, who gave his address as 302 West Hostel in Decatur, said: \"I'm thinking of building anywhere from 1,450 to probably 1,800 square foot homes on those properties.\" Lomas added the homes would be single-story. No other members of the public spoke.

Meeting records show the replat application was scheduled to appear on the city replat agenda for April 1, 2025. The commission noted the replat meets minimum survey standards as presented; staff flagged no additional deviations. The commission approved the exception with no conditions recorded.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Decatur - Zoning Board of Adjustment - Mar 17, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The planning commission approved an exception to allow a single oversized lot to be divided into two infill lots of about 6,297 square feet each at 120 Tilden Street; applicant Rolando Lomas said he plans to build one-story homes of roughly 1,450–1,800 square feet on each lot.","taxTitle","Decatur, Wise County, Texas","taxId",52370,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6633338,"Decatur planning commission approves front-yard setback variance for WARM building at 300 N.

The variance was requested by Trina Zeiss on behalf of Wise County and sought relief from the city’s front-yard setback along Trinity Street to allow construction of a new building that will include a loading dock, additional downtown parking and access for fire apparatus maneuvering, according to Development Services staff.

Wayne, a Development Services staff member, told commissioners that the property had been replatted in late 2024 and approved on Jan. 13, 2025, and that a portion of the parcel was rezoned commercial and granted a specific-use permit for philanthropic use on Jan. 27, 2025. Wayne said Wise County owns the building and property and that WARM has operated at the site since 1998. Wayne also entered the staff report into the record and recommended approval of the variance.

Staff said the requested variance is allowed under the Texas Local Government Code when the statutory criteria are met and that the setback reduction was needed because of the building’s location on the lot and the amenities proposed, including a truck dock and public parking. Staff notified 47 nearby property owners and reported no responses to the notification.

Commissioner Sammer moved to approve the variance; an unidentified commissioner seconded. The motion carried 4–0.

The commission opened a public hearing on the item at 3:38 p.m., asked if anyone wished to speak and then closed the hearing later the same minute with no public comments recorded. The record also reflects the planning staff’s statement that closing Market Street behind the building will not provide a full fire lane but will provide maneuverability behind the structure if needed.

No conditions or amendments to the variance were recorded in the meeting minutes.","The City of Decatur planning commission approved a variance to reduce the front-yard setback for a new Wise Area Relief Mission (WARM) building at 300 North Trinity, citing building siting and public-access benefits including parking and fire maneuverability.
