BACKGROUND
The applicant requested an SUP to locate a trailer sales and corporate offices building, along
with an exterior storage and display of equipment in a Commercial District on NE Loop 286.
According to Section 12-101 of the Zoning Ordinance, "The city staff shall review and
recommend said Special Use Permit request and the Planning and Zoning Commission in
considering and determining its recommendation and the City Council on any request for a
Specific Use Permit shall require from the applicant Site plans and supportive plans,
information, operating data and expert evaluation concerning the location, function and
characteristics of any building or use proposed. The City Council may, in the interest of the
public welfare and to assure compliance with this ordinance, establish conditions of operation,
location, arrangement and construction of any use for which a permit is authorized. "
At its meeting held on 9/7/23 the P&Z unanimously recommended approval of the SUP.
ANALYSIS
The subject property is zoned C, is guided for Commercial and is an undeveloped lot.
• The land to the West is zoned C, is guided for Commercial and is commercial automotive repair.
• The land to the North across Loop 286 is zoned C, is guided for PLI, and is the hospital.
• The land to the East is zoned C, is guided for Commercial and is a new veterinary clinic being built.
• The land to the South across the creek is Zoned C, is guided for C and is an undeveloped lot.
Staff has worked with the business development owner regarding the conceptual site layout, but
the project is not yet at the stage of final site design for improvements. Detailed plans will still

need to be prepared for approval in conformity with the all zoning and subdivision requirements
and the above referenced SUP Regulations. Staff attempted to coordinate with TX DOT at the
predevelopment stage but, they were unable to attend the meeting regarding their input for
driveway requirements and stormwater needs for Loop 286 and the frontage road system, if
needed. These details will be addressed with the developer following approval of the SUP.
At this stage of the project, the only requirement being met is the approval of this use in this
location, not the final site plan.
RECOMMENDATION
P&Z and Staff recommends approval of a Specific Use Permit (SUP) for Trailer Sales and a
corporate office in a Commercial District, subject to the following conditions:
1. Approval of the site civil construction improvements by the City Engineer, Fire Marshal
and Planning & Community Development Director prior to issuance of site civil and
building permits.
2. Approval of a new driveway access permit by TX DOT prior to all permit approvals for
construction.
3. Full conformity with all other requirements of the Zoning Ordinance, including Section
