Rowlett tables drone‑delivery special use permit to May 27
Summary
The commission voted 6‑0 to table a special use permit for a proposed drone delivery hub (Zipline referenced) on a 2.75–2.85 acre site to the May 27 meeting; commissioners noted a property‑size discrepancy in the packet.
The Rowlett Planning and Zoning Commission voted 6‑0 on Tuesday, May 13 to table consideration of a special use permit for a proposed drone delivery service until the commission's May 27 meeting.
Staff opened item 4b as a request by Stephanie Cook on behalf of property owner Kent Steinbeck for a special use permit to allow a drone delivery service on a property described in the packet as 2.75 acres (some documents listed 2.85 acres). The site is near the intersection of Lakeview Parkway and Kenwood Drive; staff and commissioners referenced Zipline as a potential operator.
Commissioner Hernandez made the motion to table the item to May 27; Miss Williams seconded and the motion passed 6‑0. During discussion, Commissioner Williams asked staff to confirm the correct lot acreage. "On the agenda, it says it's 2.75 acres, but in the documents it says 2.85. So I'd like one or the other," Williams said.
Staff said the item would return properly noted on the May 27 agenda. No public hearing occurred on the item at this meeting; the commission did not take further action beyond tabling and recording staff to return the item on the stated date.
