Commission approves two lot-depth variances and routine consent items
Loading...
Summary
The Pearland Planning & Zoning Commission unanimously approved two variances to exceed the 3:1 lot depth-to-width ratio (Linda Lane and Roy Road) and adopted several consent items, citing staff findings that adjacent properties would not be negatively impacted.
The Pearland Planning and Zoning Commission approved two separate variances and the consent agenda during its March 30 meeting.
Consent agenda: The commission approved the regular meeting minutes from March 2 and two final plats (Men On Enclave and Villa partial replat 1) by a 6–0 vote after no items were removed for separate consideration.
Linda Lane variance (VAP2026-0121): The commission considered a request to create a single lot at 2102 Linda Lane in the Single-Family Estate (RE) district that exceeds the 3:1 depth-to-width ratio. City staff member Steph reported the lot area is approximately 0.9998 acres and read proposed lot dimensions (staff quoted the proposed lot depth as 3,385.65 feet and width as 104.78 feet). Steph told commissioners the request meets the Unified Development Code variance criteria and recommended approval because the deviation would not negatively affect adjacent properties. No applicant presentation or public comment was offered; Commissioner Haskins moved and Commissioner Como seconded. The commission approved the variance 6–0.
Roy Road variance (VAP2026-0126): The commission then considered a two-lot variance in the SR-12 district for parcels at 2213 and 2221 Roy Road. City staff member Katie summarized the proposal as a minor plat to straighten a jog in property lines for sale preparation and said both lots meet minimum SR-12 requirements except for the depth-to-width ratio. Staff read lot dimensions into the record (Lot 1 listed as approximately 214.72 feet wide by about 1,013.9 feet deep; Lot 2 as roughly 214.6 feet wide by 1,113.9 feet deep). Commissioner Fortis moved, Commissioner Henrich seconded, and the commission approved the variance 6–0. Staff said one or both lots may be sold but could not confirm during the meeting.
Each variance vote followed staff findings that the proposed lots met district minimums aside from the 3:1 ratio and that staff recommended approval. The approvals were unanimous; staff noted similar minor variances may be handled at staff level in the future as part of the Unified Development Code rewrite.
The commission adjourned the meeting at 7:07 p.m.
