City of Irving | Zoning Board of Adjustment Public Hearing September 9, 2026

The City of Irving Zoning Board of Adjustment held a public hearing on September 9, 2026, to consider special exception requests for carports encroaching into established front yard setbacks at two residential properties. The board reviewed detailed presentations from planning staff and applicants, including site plans, photographs, and neighborhood context. The first case involved a carport at 2011 Bradford Street, where the applicant argued that relocating the carport was impractical due to property constraints and mature trees. The board discussed driveway width and compliance with zoning criteria before ultimately approving the variance. The second case at 3200 Whitten Street involved a proposed carport not yet constructed; the applicant emphasized protection from hail damage and willingness to comply with building codes. After discussion, the board approved this request as well. No significant budget or contract awards were discussed, but the decisions impact future construction and property modifications under the city's zoning regulations.
