Planning commissioners approve special‑use permit for large accessory structure at 4002 Toller Road
Summary
The Planning and Zoning Commission voted 7–0 to recommend approval of a special‑use permit for a roughly 2,400 sq ft accessory building and 600 sq ft carport at 4002 Toller Road, subject to a staff condition requiring gutters to direct runoff away from neighboring properties.
The Rowlett Planning and Zoning Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of a special‑use permit allowing an accessory structure larger than 500 square feet at 4002 Toller Road.
Staff told the commission that the proposed accessory building totals about 2,400 square feet — roughly an 1,800 sq ft metal building plus an attached 600 sq ft carport — and that the lot is approximately one acre in Rowlett Ranch Estates 2. Planner Liliana said the project meets lot‑coverage and most development‑code standards but that the attached carport encroaches into the required side‑yard setback and exceeds the ceiling‑height limit. "Staff recommends approval subject to the installation of gutters directing the runoff away from the adjacent properties," Liliana stated.
Applicant Jeremy Hicks described the awning and carport materials and placement, saying it "is gonna match the roof and pitch line of the structure" and that there will be no plumbing or water service to the building. Commissioners asked about driveway and sign placement; staff confirmed the driveway and sightlines are compliant. Commissioner Hernandez moved to approve the special‑use permit with the staff condition requiring gutters; Commissioner Jobe seconded, and the motion passed 7–0.
The commission recorded the recommendation to the City Council; the formal permit and any required building permits will proceed through administrative review and any applicable inspections.
