Summary
At its July 20 meeting the Rockwall City Council approved a string of zoning and specific-use permits, amended PD-46, reappointed advisory board members and tabled several items pending applicants' return; most votes were unanimous.
Following the adoption of the comprehensive plan update, the Rockwall City Council considered remaining public hearings and action items.
Key outcomes: - Z2026-033: Council approved a text amendment to the Unified Development Code to allow new HUD-code manufactured homes by right in the Single Family Estate 4.0 district to comply with state legislation effective Sept. 1, 2026. Staff said the measure restricts each lot to a single new HUD-code manufactured home, requires a 1,800-square-foot minimum air-conditioned floor area and mandates a permanent concrete foundation.

- Z2026-037: Council amended Planned Development 46 to allow warehouse, light assembly/fabrication and light manufacturing by right for a specific parcel (Springer Road area); the Planning & Zoning Commission recommended approval 6-0.
Other business included appointment moves (Catherine Castile to Board of Adjustments; reappointments to the Main Street Advisory Board) and approval of the consent agenda (including an amendment to the noise ordinance about construction work hours on holidays). A requested sign-variance item was tabled at the applicant's request.
