Zoning Decisions This Month

Special Exception for Rear Yard Setback at 77 Greensward Lane

Denied.

Applicant Lucas Corbett requested a special exception to reduce the 30-foot rear yard setback to 5 feet for new single-family construction at 77 Greensward Lane, Lot 12, Block 10, Sweetwater Section 1, in the R-1-R zoning district. The property was platted in 1981 with a 5-foot rear utility easement and annexed into Sugar Land in 1997. Staff recommended approval noting 18 nearby homes don't meet the 30-foot setback and 3 have approved special exceptions. Five residents opposed citing fire hazards from a previous house fire at 29 Greensward, privacy concerns, and neighborhood character. The board found criteria 1-3 met but the motion to approve failed on criterion 4 (public welfare/safety).
