Grayson County Board of Zoning Appeals 5/21/2026

The Grayson County Board of Zoning Appeals held a meeting on May 21, 2026, primarily to consider two variance requests related to zoning regulations. The first variance approved was for Tommy Sedik of Baywood Market Deli, allowing a freestanding illuminated sign with a height of 23 feet 8 inches, exceeding the 10-foot maximum permitted in the rural farm district. The board found the variance justified due to unique physical conditions of the property and visibility needs, and the motion to approve passed unanimously. The second variance approved was for Douglas Bond, permitting the placement of a single-family dwelling on a non-conforming lot smaller than the required minimum acreage. The board determined the hardship was not self-created and that the variance would not harm adjacent properties. Both approvals included formal resolutions and roll call votes. Additionally, there was mention of upcoming zoning ordinance updates related to renewable energy and subdivision regulations due to recent legislative changes, which may impact future development processes.
