MIS2026-001 — Front Yard Fence (Special Exception) in Rockwall, TX
This case involves a special exception request for a front yard fence that would deviate from standard height, transparency, and setback requirements in the SF-7 district. The applicant proposes an 8-foot solid cedar fence extending 13 feet into the front yard setback, exceeding the typical 42-inch height limit and transparency requirements. The Historic Preservation Board has already approved the request, and surrounding properties have similar non-conforming fences, suggesting this exception would create consistency with the neighborhood character.
