A1997-0001 — Detached Garage (1,200 SF) in Rockwall, TX
Peter Drake is seeking approval of a Specific Use Permit to construct a 1,200 SF detached garage on his SFE-1.5 zoned property, exceeding the 625 SF maximum permitted by code. The property is in the Sterling Farms Subdivision, and approval would require demolition of two existing accessory structures to maintain compliance with accessory structure limits. Staff analysis indicates the structure's rear placement limits visibility from public right-of-way and staff found similar structures elsewhere in the subdivision.
