Commission recommends approval of 920-sq-ft accessory building at 2906 Weems Way
Summary
Senior Planner Michael King told commissioners the requested 920-sq-ft detached accessory structure for 2906 Weems Way meets the accessory-structure SUP criteria and stays well under the district's rear-yard coverage limit; the commission voted 7–0 to recommend approval to city council.
Senior Planner Michael King presented Zoning Application 25-000108 for a 920-square-foot detached accessory structure (about 14.5 feet tall) proposed at 2906 Weems Way on a 1.617-acre SF-40 lot. King explained the accessory-structure SUP requirement for enclosed structures exceeding 500 square feet and said the existing rear-yard coverage is roughly 9.25 percent; even with the new building, the proposal would remain well under the 35 percent maximum for rear-yard coverage in that district.
The applicant answered questions about slab and lot-coverage calculations and confirmed the structure would be located in the rear yard and largely screened from the street. The public hearing saw no speakers; Commissioner Pollard moved to recommend approval and Commissioner Williams seconded. The commission voted 7–0 to forward the recommendation to the Rowlett City Council.
