H2025-019 — Community Theater (Rockwall Community Playhouse) with single-family residential in Rockwall, TX
Applicant seeks to rezone a historic downtown parcel from Single Family 7 to a Planned Development District to permit a community theater use by-right, including a 160-seat theater facility with associated parking and landscape modifications. The proposal includes six deviations from standard development codes (setbacks, building height, parking, landscape standards, and driveway spacing) and would represent a change in the comprehensive plan's future land use designation for this property.
