First reading – Zoning Text Amendment 2611, High Prairie Ranch PD Sub Area A accessory buildings
The Commission authorized the auditor to publish notice of a December 1, 2026 public hearing. The amendment would change Article 10.0605A2 of the 1990 Revised Zoning Ordinance. It would replace the 1,200 sq ft accessory-building cap in residential Sub Area A of the High Prairie Ranch planned development with Article 12.07. Under Article 12.07, lots under 1 acre may have 1,600 sq ft, lots of 1-3 acres may have 2,400 sq ft, and lots over 3 acres may have 3,600 sq ft. Larger buildings could be requested through the Planning Commission. The petitioner is Brett Goring, who wants to build a 2,400 sq ft building on about 1.3 acres. The amendment adds no lots or ADUs. The motion was made by Kipley and seconded by Benenga, and passed by voice vote.
