Rockwall Planning & Zoning approves several routine zoning and SUP requests; items head to City Council Nov. 17
The Rockwall City Planning and Zoning Commission voted unanimously on a set of routine land-use items and recommended they proceed to City Council for final action.

Key votes included:
- Z2025-066 (Discovery Lakes Plan Development District 78): Staff presented an amendment to allow side-entry garages on Type A lots (three-quarter acre lots) in Phase 1; after questions the commission recommended approval 6-0 (one absent). Ryan characterized the change as a minor text amendment to garage‑orientation rules to accommodate builder preferences and architectural diversity.

- Z2025-067 (Makeway LLC daycare, 11,114 sq ft): Staff noted driveway-spacing challenges given the triangular lot and that a driveway-spacing variance would be recommended with approval; applicant Craig Brooks said the plan includes stacking spaces to reduce queuing; the commission recommended approval 6-0, subject to operational conditions and site-plan review.

- Z2025-068 (Recording studio, 206 E. Washington): Applicant Randy Aragon described a small community-oriented recording studio in a space previously used by a music school; staff reported no returned notices in opposition and the commission recommended approval 6-0.

- Z2025-071 (Residential infill and guest quarters at 2592 FM 549): Staff noted the guest quarters exceed the 30% by-right square footage; applicant Michael Lewis said the unit would not have full kitchen facilities and would be for aging parents; the commission recommended approval 6-0.

All of these items will be on the Nov. 17 City Council agenda for final action. Commissioners noted that site-plan details and architectural review would be handled at later stages where applicable.
