Planning staff to draft zoning language to address setbacks at Deer Creek Motor Coach Resort
Summary
Planning staff told the Grayson County Planning Commission June 17 they will draft language to allow the board to vacate or reduce internal setbacks for the Deer Creek Motor Coach Resort; the commission will review proposed ordinance language and may hold a public hearing.
Planning staff told the Grayson County Planning Commission on June 17 that they are preparing changes to the county zoning ordinance to address internal lot-line encroachments at Deer Creek Motor Coach Resort and to give the Board of Supervisors authority to vacate or reduce internal setbacks in certain special-use permit cases.
“Deer Creek Motor Coach Resort out on Edmonds Road has structures that are encroaching upon the lot lines greater than 10 foot,” a planning staff member said during the meeting, describing work that took place without permits and a new homeowners association seeking to bring lots into compliance.
Staff said they consulted County Attorney Michael Walkabee, who advised that the simplest remedy would be to amend the zoning ordinance — specifically the special-use permit provision — so the Board of Supervisors could authorize vacations or reductions of internal setbacks as part of a special-use-permit process. After the ordinance language is prepared, staff said, the commission will review it and hold a public hearing if necessary.
The commission discussed related zoning definitions and noted a separate outstanding item — adding a definition for group homes in the mountain-range overlay — that may be handled in a future amendment.
No formal action was taken; staff will present drafted language to the planning commission and then proceed with the public-noticing and hearing process if amendments are needed.
