Council approves special-use permit and waiver for additional unit at Governor's Courts Apartments
Summary
Planning staff said the request would add one apartment unit to a 40-unit complex at 2011 Haze Mill Road; because of density and a substandard 468‑sq‑ft detached building, the applicant requested a special-use permit and a waiver, both approved unanimously by the planning commission and by the council.
Carrollton’s City Council on Feb. 3 approved a special-use permit and a waiver that allow an existing detached office on the Governor’s Courts Apartments property at 2011 Haze Mill Road to become one additional residential unit.
Planning staff (identified in the meeting as Miss Stutterard) told the council the complex currently has 40 units. Because local density thresholds require special-use review when a project exceeds six units per acre and because the detached building measures 468 square feet—below typical minimum standards—the applicant sought both a special-use permit and a waiver from the square-footage requirement. The planning commission reviewed the request at its January meeting and unanimously recommended approval with the waiver.
Council members moved and seconded the motion to approve the use and the waiver; the motion carried by voice vote.
