Z2019-027 — Outside storage of trailers in Rockwall, TX

Big Tex Trailers seeks renewal of their Specific Use Permit for outside trailer storage at 2260 E. IH-30 for 8 years with on-site improvements (paving, drainage, landscaping, onsite utilities) to be completed by January 1, 2027, while eliminating the requirement for off-site water and sewer line installation due to the adjacent property owner's refusal to grant easements. The operation has been in place since 2009 and the permit decision hinges on whether outside storage remains an appropriate land use given recent development in the area including the completed FM-549 overpass, warehouse facilities, and retail operations.
