Council grants variance for 15392 Houston Street, requires drainage mitigation

Lytle City Council · July 13, 2026

Summary

Lytle council approved a variance to allow a 19‑foot rear setback at 15392 Houston Street (normally 30 feet) and instructed that proposed plans include drainage mitigation for Ruiz‑Foster Way.

The Lytle City Council, acting as the Board of Adjustment on July 13, approved a variance to let a single‑family dwelling be placed with a 19‑foot rear setback at 15392 Houston Street. The property (Lytle‑Railroad Block 1 Lot 10, 0.1528 acres) requested relief from Section 46‑190 of the city zoning regulations which requires a 30‑foot minimum rear setback.

Applicant Alex Martinez described the proposal and council discussion included the potential for drainage impacts to Ruiz‑Foster Way. The council’s approval, moved by Alderman Michael Rodriguez and seconded by Alderman Richard Hughes, included language requiring mitigation for drainage concerns to be incorporated into the residential plans before further permitting action.
