Board grants lot-size variance to Davison Homes for one Palo Alto parcel, staff to review other lots
The San Antonio Board of Adjustment approved a variance reducing the minimum lot size for a single lot in a new subdivision (case BOA-25-10300002) so Davison Homes LLC may proceed to build a single-family home on a 3,583-square-foot parcel where the minimum lot size is 4,000 square feet.

Staff told the board the request related to a new subdivision (Apple White Meadows) and that the applicant was asking for a 417-square-foot reduction to allow development on the identified lot. Staff recommended approval for this specific lot and noted that not all lots in the subdivision had the same deficiency; the applicant said the company purchased a block of lots and that the builder had completed about 30–40 houses in the subdivision so far.

Commissioners discussed whether additional lots in the subdivision would require separate variances and whether re‑zoning would be more appropriate if many lots were out of compliance. The applicant said they would return with additional requests if necessary; staff said it could compile a list of affected lots.

After discussion a motion to grant the 417-square-foot variance for the subject lot passed unanimously. Commissioners cited the need for more housing supply and said the deviation appeared limited to a small number of parcels rather than an entire subdivision pattern.
