BZA approves special exception for five duplexes on Mulligan Street

The Board of Zoning Appeals on Thursday approved a special exception allowing construction of five single-story duplexes on a property on Mulligan Street.

City staff told the board the application met the general provisions for a special exception and that setbacks and vehicle-access requirements were satisfied. A staff member recommended approval. An applicant representative asked for the exception to permit a small number of duplexes on the lot.

A board member moved to approve the special exception and a second was given; the board conducted a voice vote and the motion carried. The board set a training reminder and then adjourned to allow the Planning Commission to convene.

No detailed vote tally was recorded in the transcript; staff and the board said implementation details such as drainage and other subdivision-level approvals will be handled during later permit and engineering reviews.
