Rockwall council approves special-use permit for retail and limited-service restaurant at 907 N. Goliad
Summary
The Rockwall City Council unanimously approved a specific-use permit to allow a 200-square-foot general retail area and a limited-service restaurant inside an existing office at 907 N. Goliad Street. Staff required restriping of several parking spaces as a condition of approval.
The Rockwall City Council on Feb. 18 voted unanimously to approve Z2025-002, a specific-use permit allowing a general retail store and a limited-service restaurant to operate within an existing office at 907 N. Goliad Street.
Planner Miller told council the property is in Plan Development District 50 and within the North Goliad Corridor historic overlay. He said the structure on the 0.1617-acre parcel is a roughly 1,012-square-foot former single-family home converted to commercial uses; the applicant proposes to use about 200 square feet for the two new uses and would sell products related to the anesthetician service currently operating there and premade baked goods. “They are only proposing to use about 200 feet of the existing 1,000 square feet for these 2 uses,” Miller said during his presentation.
The Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed the request on Feb. 11 and recommended approval 7–0, Miller said. Staff told council the property has sufficient parking for the combined uses but asked that several parking spaces be restriped to meet current standards; the restriping was included as a condition in the draft ordinance.
Councilmember McCallum moved to approve the request and Councilmember Lewis seconded. The ordinance amending the Unified Development Code to grant the special-use permit passed unanimously. The ordinance text in the record describes the parcel as Lot 1, Block 1, Henry Addition and sets a penalty fine not to exceed $2,000 per offense.
The case drew no public speakers at the hearing and staff noted one written notice in favor from the public-notice mailing to owners and occupants within 500 feet.
