Item 6 - 4492 Soda Ridge RoadCase No. ZBA25-0018 S T A F F R E P O R T January 9, 2026 CASE NO: ZBA25-0018 PROJECT: 4492 Soda Ridge Road – SEU for Setback Reduction EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Steven Schell, on behalf of Julian Fisher, is requesting a Special Exception Use, per Ord. No. 480, as amended, Section 44.12(6) for a setback reduction for residential accessory building or structure on property described as Lot 8, Block B, Lakewood Ridge Addition, and located at 4492 Soda Ridge Road, Southlake, Tarrant County, Texas. Current Zoning: SF-1A Single Family Residential. REQUEST: The purpose of this request is to seek approval of a Special Exception Use to reduce the required side yard setback from 20 feet to a minimum of 8 feet for a 768 square foot detached pool house. The property is 1.52 acres and contains the Army Corps of Engineers flowage easement in the rear, which occupies approximately 37.7% of the property. An existing fence and retaining wall are located along the outside of the pool area. Beyond the barriers, there is an elevation change of approximately 10 feet from the principal structure to the flowage easement. The applicant contends that the location of existing improvements and topographical constraints necessitate the proposed location of the structure. The accessory building will be approximately 15 feet in height. ACTION NEEDED: 1) Conduct a public hearing 2) Consider approval of the requested Special Exception Use ATTACHMENTS: (A) Background Information (B) Vicinity Map (C) Surrounding Property Owners Map and Responses (D) Application & Support Information STAFF CONTACT: Cyndi Cheng (817) 748-8269 Jennifer Crosby (817) 748-8195 Department of Planning & Development Services Case No. Attachment A ZBA25-0018 Page 1 BACKGROUND INFORMATION OWNER: Julian Fisher APPLICANT: Steven Schell (TCP Outdoors) PROPERTY SITUATION: 4492 Soda Ridge Road LEGAL DESCRIPTION: Block B, Lot 8, Lakewood Ridge Addition LAND USE CATEGORY: Low Density Residential CURRENT ZONING: “SF-1A” Single Family Residential District HISTORY: - A Plat Showing for the Lakewood Ridge Addition was approved by City Council on April 11, 1977. - The property was annexed into the City in 1988. - A new residential residence was issued March 25, 1996. STAFF COMMENTS: The proposed addition is shown to be located within the Flowage Easement and will require approval from the Army Corps of Engineers. 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.
