What the Round Rock zoning ordinance says about variances and appeals, district by district. Section numbers link to the official ordinance.
Changes to PUD standards generally run through the PUD amendment process rather than a variance; PUD application procedures are in Sec. 10-22. Confirm the right path with Planning and Development Services before applying.
The zoning board of adjustment hears variances (Sec. 10-50). Approval requires a public hearing and a concurring vote of 75 percent of ZBA members, with findings that include extraordinary conditions unique to the property and conditions not self-created. Financial hardship alone is not sufficient. Administrative adjustments (Sec. 10-51) and special exceptions (Sec. 10-53) are separate paths. Confirm the current zoning map, any overlay district, PUD or development agreement conditions, and the cited section text before acting.
