2026-132-ZC — Guest quarters in converted detached garage structure in Irving, TX
Request to allow guest quarters as an accessory use in a converted two-car garage within an R-7.5 single-family district, requiring variances for side setback (5 ft. 5 in. vs. 15 ft. required) and height (21 ft. 2 in. vs. 20 ft. maximum). Staff recommends denial due to extensive structure expansion, prior short-term rental usage, and absence of city ADU standards to ensure consistent oversight.
