Derek Hall, the city’s director of community development, told council the lot is currently 11,761 square feet and therefore too small for SF-20’s 20,000-square-foot minimum but meets SF-8 dimensional requirements. Hall said the request is for a single new lot and that the proposed change is consistent with the neighborhood’s established character and the city’s comprehensive plan.
“The current lot size itself right now is 11,761 square feet,” Hall said during his presentation, noting that SF-8’s minimum lot size is 8,000 square feet and that the applicant intends to build one single-family residence.
The council opened a public hearing and received no speakers during the hearing itself. Tanya Endicott, the realtor for the property owner, spoke after the hearing and asked for the change so her elderly client — who she said cannot drive — can either use or sell the parcel to help pay medical bills. “He’s elderly and cannot drive and has just asked for help with this,” Endicott said.
Councilmember Reeves moved to adopt the ordinance amending the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance as presented; Councilmember John P. Bowers III seconded. The motion carried unanimously by those members present, and the ordinance was approved.
City staff noted the approval requires the owner to construct a five-foot sidewalk along Windward View Drive as part of the zone change and that the proposal met the city’s zoning criteria, including compatibility with the comprehensive plan. The council’s action amends the City of Rowlett zoning map to reclassify the property from SF-20 to SF-8.
The ordinance takes effect in accordance with the city’s code; council did not specify any additional conditions beyond those noted in staff’s recommendation.
