Z2026-009 — Major Auto Repair Garage in Rockwall, TX
This is a Specific Use Permit request for a Major Auto Repair Garage in a Light Industrial zone near a residential area, which generated significant opposition from neighboring property owners and the Galaxy Ranch community. The applicant resubmitted after a previous withdrawal due to concerns about outside storage and parking deficiency; the new plan addresses parking but would require variances for four-sided architecture and lighting standards at site plan stage. Staff ultimately recommended the applicant withdraw and pursue minor automotive repair instead, and the Planning and Zoning Commission voted to withdraw the case.
