City Council tables HD Supply parking variance discussion amid concerns over spaces

Rockwall City Council made significant strides in addressing parking concerns during their meeting on June 2, 2025. The council discussed the ongoing parking challenges related to the HD Supply project, which has faced multiple revisions since its initial site plan approval in 2018.

The council learned that HD Supply has been allocated 18 parking spaces in the Trent Tower garage, but there is currently no formal agreement regarding the maintenance costs associated with these spaces. Council members expressed concerns about the adequacy of parking for employees and customers, particularly as nearby businesses continue to grow.

In response to these concerns, a motion was made to table the subdivision plat for HD Supply until the next meeting. This decision aims to allow time for HD Supply to address the parking situation and respond to the city’s request for a more sustainable parking solution. The council emphasized the importance of resolving these issues before further project development.

Additionally, the council discussed a proposed ordinance to prohibit parking along Kyle Drive, which was also tabled for further discussion with the school district. This decision reflects the council's commitment to ensuring safe and accessible parking for residents and visitors.

As the council moves forward, they will continue to monitor the parking situation closely, particularly as new developments in the area progress. The next meeting will provide an opportunity to revisit these critical issues and ensure that the needs of the community are met.
