Commission approves special use permit for O’Reilly Auto Parts at Live Oak Shopping Center with delivery-hour limits
Summary
The commission recommended approval and then voted 7-0 to grant a special use permit for an 8,400-sq.-ft. O’Reilly Auto Parts at 1032 North Main Street with conditions including delivery hours limited to 7 a.m.–10 p.m., no Sunday/Monday truck deliveries and compliance with the entrance corridor overlay and dark-sky lighting rules.
The Boerne Planning and Zoning Commission approved a special use permit (SUP) 7-0 on Monday to allow an O’Reilly Auto Parts store to occupy an 8,400-square-foot tenant space at the Live Oak Shopping Center, 1032 North Main Street. Staff recommended approval after concluding the proposed use is consistent with the comprehensive plan and zoning for auto-oriented commercial in the entrance corridor overlay district.
Planner Joanne Marie Andrade described the project as a tenant improvement within the existing center with no increase in building footprint or impervious cover, 48 on-site parking spaces and a shared-parking agreement that provides 199 total shared spaces across the center. She said the property is not in a flood plain and that lighting will comply with the city's dark-sky ordinance.
Kinetic Design and Development representative Griffin Bobbitt and local developer Michael Jerson described proposed center improvements including landscaping, painting, parking-lot restriping, and a refreshed pylon-style multi-tenant sign. O’Reilly staff and district manager Kathy Garcia cited operational details, and Garcia said deliveries typically follow regional truck schedules and that the company could route or restrict deliveries to avoid disturbing nearby residents.
Commissioners pressed the applicant on truck deliveries and residential impacts. After discussion the applicant accepted a condition limiting deliveries to 7 a.m.–10 p.m. and to avoid late-night/overnight truck activity; commissioners also confirmed no Sunday or Monday truck deliveries were planned. The commissioner's motion to approve included the delivery-hour restriction and passed 7-0.
Staff noted parking will remain governed by the center's shared-parking arrangement and that future tenants could trigger additional requirements only if a use like a large restaurant occupied more than 25% of center area. The applicant said loading will use a rear dock; the developer said that rear area will be repaved and improved to accommodate deliveries.
The SUP requires subsequent building and sign permits to comply with the entrance corridor overlay and UDC standards; staff will verify compliance during permit review.
