The Rockwall City Council approved Z2026-034, allowing a 1,000-square-foot detached garage on a one-acre lot in Saddle Brook Estates.
City planning staff told the council that detached garages are allowed by right up to 625 square feet in the SF-16 district and that the proposed 1,000-square-foot accessory structure therefore requires a specific-use permit. The staff presentation explained the proposed garage would be approximately 20 by 50 feet, about 14 feet 10 inches tall, and would be clad in LP Smart Siding with a stone wainscot on the front elevation.
Property owner Wade Silzer told the council, "My name is Wade Silzer. I'm the property owner," and said the building is intended to store a boat and personal items. Council member Henson moved to approve the SUP and a second was recorded; the ordinance was read and the motion passed unanimously.
The adopted ordinance includes special conditions and references the standard fine provision of up to $2,000 per offense for ordinance violations.
