BACKGROUND INFORMATION
OWNER: Pedro Lopez
APPLICANT: Holmes Builders
PROPERTY SITUATION: 2645 Park Grove Loop
LEGAL DESCRIPTION: Lot 2R, Block 2, Stony Brook
LAND USE CATEGORY: Medium Density Residential
CURRENT ZONING: “R-PUD” Residential Planned Unit Development District
HISTORY:
• The property was annexed to the city in 1956 (Ordinance No. 036) and
given the “AG” Agricultural District zoning designation.
• A Zoning Change and Development Plan from “AG” Agricultural
District and “SF-1A” Single Family Residential District to “R-PUD”
Residential Planned Unit Development was approved for Stony Brook
(ZA17-064).
• A Preliminary Plat was approved in March 2018 (ZA17-066).
• A Plat Revision was filed in place of a Final Plat since a portion of the
property was previously platted as part of the Brock Addition (ZA18-
0043). It was filed with Tarrant County in 2020.
• A building permit for a new residential home was issued in June 2022.
• An amended plat was approved and filed in 2024 (ZA24-0013).
WATER & SEWER: The property is served by an 8-inch water line along Park Grove Loop. There
is a connecting 8-inch sewer main line.
STAFF COMMENTS: The application and exhibits are provided in this Staff Report.
The findings necessary for the Board to approve a Special Exception Use are
below:
1) No special exception shall be granted unless the Board finds that the
requested exception is specifically permitted by the zoning ordinance;
2) That the location of the proposed activities and improvements is
clearly defined on the concept plan or plot plan, and
3) That the special exception is wholly compatible with the use and
permitted development of adjacent properties either as filed or subject
to such limitations and requirements as the board deems to be
necessary to protect adjacent properties.

aggregate size greater than that permitted under the accessory building

surrounding properties
b. Purpose of the accessory structure
c. Consistency of architectural style including roof structure
d. Setback from adjoining properties and location on the subject property
