04-381 — Outside storage of trailers in Rockwall, TX
This case grants a 9-year specific use permit (with 3-month extension of initial approval period) for outside storage of trailers on a 4.4-acre Light Industrial property in Rockwall's IH-30 Overlay district. The development requires completion of civil engineering plans by September 2026 and construction improvements by September 2027, with restrictions on semi-trailer/tractor-trailer storage and requirements for wrought iron fencing and landscaping. Commercial real estate developers should monitor this project as it establishes conditional use precedent for industrial outdoor storage in this high-visibility overlay district.
