SP2022-034 — Manufacturing facility and general retail store with ground-mounted chiller in Rockwall, TX
This is an amended site plan for an existing light manufacturing and retail facility seeking an exception to mechanical equipment screening standards. The applicant proposes using chain-link fencing (with masonry wall on one side) to screen a ground-mounted chiller, which deviates from UDC requirements that specify plantings, berms, or walls matching the main structure. Approval requires a supermajority vote (6 of 7 commissioners with at least 4 affirmative votes) and existing landscaping is cited as offsetting the non-compliant screening method.
