Council approves variance to enable redevelopment at 2216 Dixie Street with reduced setbacks and 14 parking spaces
Summary
The council granted a variance for 2216 Dixie Street to reduce right-of-way and setbacks to accommodate a commercial replat that would host four 1,200-sq.-ft. businesses and 14 parking spaces; staff noted downtown street widths limit standard setbacks.
The Caddo Mills City Council voted to approve a variance request for property commonly known as 2216 Dixie Street, allowing reductions in right-of-way dedication and front/rear setbacks to permit a replat and construction of small commercial units. Building Official Josh Kinnick said narrow downtown streets constrain usual building and parking layouts and that the variance is intended to provide flexibility for the site to function without further congesting FM 36.
Council and staff discussed parking and circulation; Council Member Lori Howell asked how many businesses and parking spaces were planned and was told the proposal anticipates four businesses of about 1,200 square feet each with a total of 14 parking spaces. After discussion about one-way conversions and long-term parking needs, the council approved the variance unanimously.
