Crisp, Jr Addition, Lot 1A and 2A, Block 1, at 1425 South Main Street (Account # 04986458) zoned Commercial (C). Complete Trailers, applicant; Woodall Properties, owner (SUP-19-0016).
Background:
Staff met with the Owner of the property regarding the improvements that would be required prior to the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy for a typical business on May 2, 2019. The Owner is now working with Complete Trailers, the Applicant interested in renting this location, to bring the property up to Code. The Owner is also working with the Texas Department of Transportation for a permit to construct the required sidewalk.
Analysis:
The property is zoned Commercial and designed for predominately retail, light intensity wholesale and commercial uses. Property to the north and south are also zoned commercial and to the east SF-36 - Single-Family Residential (36,000 square-foot lots). The Applicant’s proposed business hours would be Monday through Friday (9AM-5PM) and Saturday (9AM-1PM). Complete Trailers is proposing to display and store trailers on the lot and therefore requires a SUP for outside storage.

Staff also posted a public hearing notice sign on the property. As of August 2, 2019, Staff has not received any letters either in opposition or support from the public regarding this SUP application.
