City Council Approves Zaza Car Wash Special Use Permit in Galveston County

League City officials have approved plans for a new car wash and self-storage facility during a recent Planning and Zoning meeting, marking significant developments in the area’s commercial landscape.

The proposed Zaza Car Wash will feature a 6,204 square foot single tunnel conveyor system, along with 23 self-service vacuum stalls. Access to the facility will be from Ygrene Bay via a driveway easement. The design includes enhanced landscaping, including hedging and trees, to provide screening along FM 270. The Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously recommended approval of the special use permit (SUP) for the car wash, which aligns with the city’s comprehensive land use plan.

In addition to the car wash, the commission also discussed a self-storage facility at 1425 Bay Area Boulevard. This development will consist of a three-story building with 102,000 square feet of leasable area, all located indoors. The project will include advanced landscaping and a six-foot trail connecting to the existing hike and bike trail. The commission found that the self-storage facility would have minimal traffic impact and also recommended approval of its SUP.

During the public hearings, residents expressed concerns about the height of the self-storage building, with one resident requesting a reduction from three stories to two to mitigate light intrusion into nearby homes. However, city officials assured that the building would comply with local lighting ordinances to prevent light trespass.

Both projects are expected to enhance the commercial offerings in League City, providing residents with more services while adhering to the city’s development guidelines. The next steps will involve final approvals from the city council, paving the way for construction to begin.
