PLAN COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION |
On February 27, 2023, the Plan Commission, by a vote of seven (7) to one (1), recommended approval of a Detail Plan for a Dwelling, Single-Family Detached Use on a property zoned Planned Development (PD) District 18-40 for Single-Family-7 (SF-7) Uses. |
STAFF RECOMMENDATION |
Approval of a Detail Plan for a Dwelling, Single-Family Detached Use on a property zoned Planned Development (PD) District 18-40 for Single-Family-7 (SF-7) Uses. |
BACKGROUND |
The applicant proposes to construct a detached single-family home on a vacant lot. |
SITE DATA |
The 0.359-acre site will be accessed from Robin Road.
|
USE OF PROPERTY UNDER CURRENT ZONING |
The subject property is zoned Planned Development (PD) 18-40 for Single-Family-7 District Uses and is currently vacant. The Planned Development (PD) 18-40 Detail Plan was approved to allow single-family detached developments along Robin Road, while maintaining Community Retail (CR) base zoning along the Broadway Boulevard frontage. All future development requires approval of a Detail Plan through the public hearing process. |
CONSIDERATIONS |
Detail Plan
- The applicant proposes to construct a 3,101 square foot single-family detached home (Exhibit C). The proposed home will be accessed from a driveway to be constructed on Robin Lane.
- The site design and building setbacks (Exhibit C) comply with Single-Family-7 (SF-7) District in the Garland Development Code (GDC).
- The building elevations (Exhibit D) for the proposed home comply with the Garland Development Code (GDC).
- No deviations have been requested by the applicant. The Detail Plan meets technical requirements.

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN |
The Future Land Use Map of the Envision Garland Plan recommends Compact Neighborhoods for the subject site. Compact neighborhoods provide areas for moderate increases in residential density, including single-family attached and single-family detached housing. It expands housing options through infill and redevelopment, while continuing walkable development patterns. These areas provide transitions between traditional residential neighborhoods and higher density residential neighborhoods and non-residential developments. These areas accommodate uses such as convenience retail (goods and services), office space, and public services. The architectural character and scale of these areas are compatible with adjacent residential development. |
COMPATIBILITY OF REQUEST WITH SURROUNDING ZONING AND LAND USES |
The properties to the East and West along Robin Road are currently vacant lots also zoned Planned Development (PD) 18-40 for Single-Family-7 Uses. The properties to the North are zoned Planned Development (PD) 18-40 for Community Retail Uses. The lot bordering the subject site to the North contains a Braum’s food establishment while other restaurants and retail stores are nearby. Finally, the lots across Robin Road to the South are zoned Single-Family-7 (SF-7) District and contain single-family detached homes. While the Comprehensive Plan envisions this property as a compact neighborhood use, the City rezoned the property to be for Single-Family-7 uses. The proposed use is generally compatible with the surrounding area, and residential use is appropriate along Robin Road. |
