Title
Consider and take action on Ordinance No. 2016-40 amending Ordinance No. 2005-24 for a Special Use Permit, SUP16-04 (Lowguard Automotive Collision Repair), to allow an Auto Repair and Other Heavy Vehicle Service use to be operated on a property zoned “CG” (General Commercial), generally located along the north side of West FM 517, approximately 215 feet east of Dove Meadow Drive, with the address of 351 West FM 517 in League City, Texas - Second Reading (Director of Planning and Development)
City Council approved the first reading 8-0-0 on November 22, 2016. A petition was submitted on November 22, 2016 in opposition of the request. The petition included 30 signatures, of which 26 were confirmed to be property owners, and 14 were within the 200 foot petition buffer. A total of 15.2% of land within 200 feet is in opposition to the request. Because the protest is less than 20% of the area of the properties within the 200 foot buffer area, a simple majority vote can approve the request.
