Zoning Decisions This Month

Carport Setback Variance at 1017 Manchester Dr.

Denied.

Alexander Williams requested a variance to allow an attached metal carport to encroach approximately 4 feet into the required 7.5-foot side yard setback on his two-story home in the Antigua subdivision. The carport was built without a permit in 2024 and sits 3.5 feet from the property line. The board determined the structure could feasibly be modified to meet setback requirements.

Mechanical Equipment Setback Variance at 1500 E Broad St.

Approved.

CGA Technology USA Company Limited received approval for a variance to allow industrial refrigeration condensers to encroach approximately 14 feet into the required 40-foot setback from residentially zoned property. The equipment is needed for a pet food manufacturing facility in the 240,000 square foot former food packaging building purchased in June 2025.

Commercial Drone Delivery Ordinance Work Session

Decision.

Staff presented draft ordinance framework for regulating commercial drone delivery ground operations. Proposed approach allows small drone hubs as accessory uses by right at retailers 50,000+ square feet (Walmart, HEB, Target, etc.) with side/rear placement requirements and 300-foot setbacks from noise-sensitive uses. Standalone drone facilities as primary use would require SUP. Wing currently operates at Walmart; Zipline approved at HEB on Mitchell Rd with 31-foot setback and 27.5-foot towers.
