Commission approves zoning amendment allowing alcohol sales at proposed gym
Summary
The commission approved a rezoning to permit alcohol sales at an existing gym site (Item 1); staff found no adverse impacts and the applicant must seek required state permits.
The Zoning Commission voted to approve a rezoning that would allow limited beer and wine sales at a proposed gym located on Hardy Boulevard (Item 1). Staff recommended approval, finding no evidence of adverse impacts tied to the requested change. The gym operator said the change is intended to help the facility remain competitive with nearby properties that already allow alcohol sales.
During the hearing, staff noted the site is in a commercial arterial corridor and is consistent with nearby land uses. Commissioners asked procedural questions and were told that any alcohol sales would additionally require Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission (TABC) permits; the zoning approval does not substitute for state licensing.
A motion to approve the rezoning passed on roll call without extended debate. The record shows the motion was moved and seconded; the roll call reflected unanimous support among commissioners present at the vote. The applicant must still secure state alcohol permits and follow through on standard site‑plan and permitting steps.
