Commission backs SUP for large accessory structure at Lakeshore Drive property
Summary
The planning commission recommended approval of a specific-use permit for a roughly 960‑square‑foot accessory structure at 128 Lakeshore Drive, finding the request fits the SUP process for a third accessory building on the large residential parcel.
The Waxahachie Planning & Zoning Commission on Jan. 13 recommended approval of a specific‑use permit for an accessory structure at 128 Lakeshore Drive.
Staff presented case ZDC‑151‑2025, saying the existing primary building measures roughly 4,568 square feet and the proposed carport would be about 960 square feet, 20 feet high, 40 feet wide and 24 feet long; staff said the property is large and meets setbacks, and that the ordinance allows more than two accessory structures on larger parcels through the SUP process. "The proposed carport is about 960 square feet. It's about 20 feet high, 40 feet wide, and 24 feet in length," staff said.
The applicant (speaker 18) told commissioners the structure is intended to store an RV and boat and to remove an eyesore from view. Staff reported three letters of support and recommended approval with conditions listed in the staff report.
A commissioner moved to recommend approval of ZDC‑151‑2025 subject to staff conditions; the motion carried on a voice vote. Staff will include conditional language in the report for city council review.
Next steps: staff will prepare the SUP conditions for council consideration and proceed with any required permit approvals if the council concurs with the recommendation.
