LP-037-25-M — Secondary Dwelling Unit (detached accessory dwelling) in La Porte, TX
This case involves a Special Conditional Use Permit request for a Secondary Dwelling Unit (detached accessory dwelling) in an R-1 Low Density Residential district. The proposed structure requires a variance from standard setback requirements since it will be located in the side yard rather than the rear yard as typically required. Developers should note the precedent this sets for accessory dwelling unit approvals in residential zones and any conditions imposed.
