Staff Report & Agenda Item Details

See the attached May 5, 2026, Planning and Zoning Commission Report and attachments. As a condition of approval, the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended that, prior to recordation of the plat, Lot 20R comply with the minimum lot width requirements of the Zoning Ordinance, or that a variance to Section 17.4.A.2 (Minimum Lot Width) be approved by the Zoning Board of Adjustments (the “ZBA ” ). The ZBA considered this request at its May 12, 2026, meeting for 1801 Park Street (Property ID 20929), legally described as Lots 17 through 24, Block 14, Cottage Heights Addition, City of Kaufman (Case No. V-01-26). The Board denied the variance request, finding that the hardship was self-imposed. As a result, the plat must be revised to comply with all applicable lot standards.
