Eastridge Church of Christ seeks permit for youth multipurpose building in Rockwall

The Rockwall Planning and Zoning Commission convened on April 29, 2025, to hold a public hearing regarding a specific use permit request from Eastridge Church of Christ. The meeting focused on a proposal by James Jackson, representing the church, to establish a house of worship on a 15.159-acre parcel located at 670 North Stodge Hill Road, which is currently zoned as an agricultural district within the FM 549 overlay district.

During the hearing, Jackson presented plans for a new youth multipurpose building to be constructed behind the existing church structure. The proposed facility will include a gymnasium, classrooms, and a kitchen, with future plans for office space, although that aspect is not intended to be developed immediately.

The commission members engaged with Jackson, asking questions about the project. The discussion highlighted the church's commitment to expanding its facilities to better serve the community's youth.

No immediate decisions were made during this session, but the commission will consider the request further, with potential actions to follow in upcoming meetings. The proposal reflects ongoing efforts to enhance community services and infrastructure in Rockwall.
