Agenda Item #9, Rev. to Zoning Ord., 480, MH District
Zoning Administrator, Karen Gandy, presented the revisions to
Zoning Ordinance No. 480 Section 34.1 (e), "Accessory Uses," adding
the "MH" district to the permitted districts for "private
residential garages, carports, and unrelated storage buildings and
greenhouses accessory to permitted residential uses." Ms. Gandy
explained that staff believes this was just an oversight when
Ordinance 480 was developed because carports are allowed in the
other residential districts.
The Commission agreed that they do not believe that carports will
be a problem in Southlake as they have been in other areas mainly
because of subdivision deed restrictions that will not allow
carports. The Commission's main concern is that they do not want
carports built in front of the building setback line.
Zoning Administrator, Karen Gandy, informed the Commission that a
carport would be considered a structure and would have to follow
building code requirements.
Zoning Administrator, Karen Gandy, commented that in addition to
the issue related to carports, she has also been approached by a
property owner of a "stick built" home on Timberline Ct., an area
in the "MH" district (Ord. No. 480, Section 29). His home is
considered a legal, nonconforming structure. Due to this status,
he and others in the area are not allowed to expand and are
experiencing difficulties in refinancing.
David Winters, 1220 Timberline Ct., explained that he has tried to
refinance his property and has been denied by the mortgage company
because this property has a nonconforming use ( "stick built" home)
in a mobile home park. It appears that they can not sell,
refinance, or expand on these stick built homes.
P &Z Meeting Minutes

Page 5
Karen Gandy pointed out that our ordinance provides wording that
states "it is the intent to allow these nonconformities to continue
whether by same or different owner."
Chairman Wright suggested that staff write the mortgage company
explaining the City's grandfather clause.
In reference to the issue of not being able to expand on these
homes, Chairman Wright suggested that the owners try to make
application for a zoning change to single family. Mr. Wright
commented that we would not want to allow a single family zoning
change in a mobile home park for any new construction. Ms. Gandy
questioned "spot zoning." No other solution could be recommended.
There were no other comments during the public hearing.
Motion was made to take to no action on revisions to Section 29,
"MH" Manufactured Housing District; on Section 34.1 (e) amend to
include "MH" district to allow carports, private residential
garages, and unrelated storage buildings and greenhouses accessory
uses.
Motion: Richarme
Second: McGrath
Ayes: Wright, Dowdy, Richarme, McGrath, McGarity
Nays: None
Approved: 5 -0
