Rezoning approved to allow small infill house on Tyler lot
Summary
A city hearing approved a rezoning to permit a small house on a subdivided lot in Tyler after staff recommended approval and the property owner said the new house will meet city setback rules; the transcript records no roll-call vote tally and repeats the case number for the following item.
City hearing staff recommended approval and commissioners approved a rezoning that will allow a small infill house on a rear lot in Tyler.
An unidentified city staff member said the proposal would produce a smaller house oriented toward Mahone Avenue and that the neighborhood has trended toward single-family development. The staff member told the hearing that R1D requires a minimum lot area of 3,000 square feet and described setbacks as 25 feet in front, 15 feet in the rear and 0 feet on interior lot lines for noncorner lots. "Staff recommends approval," the staff member said.
The property owner, Juan Alfaro, told the hearing he bought the property about three months ago and is remodeling the existing house. "My name is Juan Alfaro, and I own the property. I bought it, about 3 months ago," Alfaro said. He said his plan is "to build small house in the back back lot" and that "it will fit the setbacks required by the city." He provided a mailing address of 1600 Everglades Drive, Tyler, Texas 75703 for the record.
The hearing record shows 20 mailed notices were sent for the request and that none were returned in favor or opposition, according to the staff presentation.
A commissioner made a motion "Mister chairman, I move we approve Z25Dash027," another commissioner seconded the motion, and the chair called for opposition; none was voiced and the chair stated the item was approved. The transcript does not record individual vote names or a numeric tally.
The transcript also shows the next agenda item announced immediately afterward as "Z25Dash027, Joseph Martel," which repeats the same case identifier used earlier in the record; that duplication appears to be a clerical or transcription inconsistency in the record and is noted in the hearing transcript itself.
The action taken at the hearing approved the rezoning as presented; the transcript does not include further conditions, an amended motion or a written vote count. The file for the case is identified in the hearing as Z25-027.
The meeting proceeded to the next agenda item.
