Planning Commission approves replat at 2121 Fannin Avenue to allow accessory structure

The City of Denison Planning Commission on April 28 approved a replat for Grandview Addition, block 9, lot 19R (case 2026-38RP) to combine two lots at 2121 Fannin Avenue into one legal lot so the property owner can build an accessory structure.

Planning staff member Ms. York presented the case and said the property is zoned single-family-5 and that the reconfigured lot meets the district's minimum lot dimensions and square-footage requirements. "The applicant is seeking this replat in order to create one legal lot of record from two lots to build an accessory structure," Ms. York said, and staff recommended approval.

No applicant representative or members of the public spoke during the hearing. After the chair closed the public hearing, a commissioner moved to approve the proposed replat; the motion received a second and the commission voted in favor. The transcript records the motion and the affirmative votes but does not name individual commissioners who voted.

The replat will establish a single legal lot where two lots previously existed, allowing the property owner to proceed with permitting for the accessory structure consistent with single-family-5 zoning. The commission did not record any conditions or amendments to the staff recommendation in the transcript.

The commission did not identify a timeline for building permits in the hearing. The action recorded in the meeting minutes and transcript is the commission's approval of case 2026-38RP. The item will proceed per normal permitting processes managed by city staff.
