City of Irving | Zoning Board of Adjustment Public Hearing August 12, 2026

The City of Irving Zoning Board of Adjustment held a public hearing on August 12, 2026, primarily to consider requests for variances related to front yard setbacks for carports. The board reviewed two cases: one for Bernard Ellis at 505 West 4th Street requesting an exception to allow a carport to encroach into the established front yard setback, and another for John and Jean Strickland at 2011 Bradford Street seeking a similar exception. The Ellis case included presentations from city staff and the applicant, with three letters of support and no opposition. The board unanimously approved the exception for Ellis. The Strickland case was postponed to the September 9, 2026 meeting at the applicant's request. The meeting included motions and votes related to these zoning exceptions but did not involve contract awards, procurement decisions, or budget allocations.
