The Rockwall City Council on Aug. 18 approved two specific‑use permits (SUPs) allowing residential infill homes in existing subdivisions: Z2025‑044 in Chandler’s Landing and Z2025‑045 in the Sanger Addition.

Planning staff described both properties as part of long‑established subdivisions and recommended council consideration of size, location and architectural compatibility. Ryan Miller said the Chandler’s Landing home is a three‑story, 3,644‑square‑foot house proposed at 5405 Ranger Drive; the Sanger street property at 606 E. Ross Street would be a two‑story, 2,120‑square‑foot house.

Both proposals met base density and dimensional standards except for garage orientation; in each case the proposed garage would extend roughly 6 feet beyond the front facade, and the proposed Chandler’s Landing roof used a mansard form with a 2:12 pitch where the UDC requires a minimum 3:12. Miller noted the design elements are not atypical for those neighborhoods and said the Planning & Zoning Commission recommended approval of both cases by 6–0 votes.

Jim Benson, the applicant for Z2025‑044, and Kevin Osorio, representing the Z2025‑045 applicant, each told the council they had nothing further to add to staff’s presentation.

Mayor Pro Tem moved to approve Z2025‑044; Councilmember Thomas seconded. Councilwoman Campbell moved to approve Z2025‑045; Thomas seconded that motion. Both motions passed unanimously. The ordinance language establishing special conditions and a $2,000 maximum fine per offense was read into the record for each case.

Staff said notices were mailed to property owners within 500 feet for each case; Chandler’s Landing received 132 notices with 10 in favor returned and the Sanger case received 122 notices with one in favor returned.
