Council approves lot-width reduction and rezone at 600 North Dallas to allow single-family residence
Summary
Council approved a lot-width reduction and associated rezone at 600 North Dallas (District 2) to legalize an existing lot pattern and permit a new single-family home; staff said the change matches surrounding lots and that the rezone is contingent on the reduction approval.
The council approved two related public-hearing items at 600 North Dallas in District 2: a reduction of the minimum lot width from 55 feet to 50 feet and a companion rezone from commercial to SF-3 to permit a new single-family residence.
Planning and Development Officer Elizabeth Triggs told the council the reduction mirrors existing development in the immediate area and is intended to legalize the lot configuration to allow construction. "This first item is requesting a lot width reduction from 55 feet as required by code to 50 feet," Triggs said, adding that the rezone (item 27) is contingent on the lot reduction and intended to allow a single-family residence. One resident, Jared Sparks, spoke in support of the items, thanking the council for its work and saying the changes will help housing opportunities. Council approved both items after a public hearing; staff said fees in the area are being waived temporarily to assist residential development.
