Z2020-036 — 120-foot flag pole in Rockwall, TX
This is a resubmitted application (previously denied as Z2020-036 in 2020) for a 120-foot flag pole setback approximately 137 feet from the front property line at a Light Industrial dealership property. Staff notes no changes in case law, City approvals, or ordinances since the original denial warrant reconsideration, though the decision remains discretionary. Key regulatory concerns include exceeding the 60-foot height limit and the City's inability to regulate flag content on poles exceeding 60 feet.
