Hold a public hearing on an appeal of the City Council’s denial of Special Use Permit, SUP-26-0002 (Always Market), to allow for a Vehicle Fueling Station use on approximately 1.65 acres zoned “CG” (General Commercial), generally located at the northwestern corner of the FM 646 and S. Egret Bay Boulevard (FM 270) intersection (Director of Planning)
Background:
Section 2.16.6(b) of the Unified Development Code provides that, after receiving the final report from the Planning and Zoning Commission, City Council may approve or deny a Special Use Permit request, with or without prejudice as to refiling. Council’s decision is final unless an appeal is filed with the City Secretary’s Office within 12 days following Council action.
At the September 22, 2026, City Council meeting, a motion to approve the Special Use Permit request failed, 3-5-0. The City Secretary received an appeal by email on September 25, 2026, within the required filing period. The appeal is now presented to City Council for reconsideration of the request. There have been no changes made to the application.
