DEM2015-0003 — Single-family home in Rockwall, TX
This case involves approval of a Specific Use Permit to construct a single-family home on a vacant 0.138-acre infill lot within an established residential neighborhood zoned Single-Family 7 (SF-7). The proposed 3,502 SF two-story home is larger and taller than existing homes on the street, and includes a front-facing garage that does not meet the standard 20-foot setback requirement, though this is noted as typical for the area. Developers should monitor this case for precedent on residential infill standards and garage setback waivers in mature neighborhoods.
