Board clears Dobbs Tire project on Highway 47: rezoning, plat, CUP and site plan approved

Warrenton — The Board of Aldermen approved a multi-part development proposal from Dobbs Tire and Auto Center for property at 601 North State Highway 47.

The applicant sought a rezoning of approximately 3.02 acres to C3 Highway Commercial to match adjacent zoning, a boundary consolidation of multiple parcels into a single roughly 7.52-acre lot, a conditional-use permit to operate a motor vehicle service and repair shop, and an accompanying site plan for an ~8,300-square-foot service center with 10 service bays and roughly 79 parking spaces.

Developer representatives described the project’s layout and materials, saying the building uses integral colored concrete block and an EIFS entrance element; they noted operations will be an in-and-out service model and that the firm typically does not store vehicles long-term on site. The project includes planned stormwater facilities in the western portion of the lot and a single type-3 commercial access to Highway 47.

All four linked items had prior Planning & Zoning approval (motions recorded as 9–0 with one absence). The board read and approved the rezoning (ordinance 82-24), the boundary adjustment (83-24), the conditional use permit (84-24) and the site plan (85-24) by roll call, each recorded as passing with four yes votes and two absences.

Council and staff discussed parking capacity (developer responded the plan provides roughly 70–79 spaces), building materials (integral-color block to avoid future repainting), and operational hours (roughly 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. weekdays, shorter Saturdays). The board approved the package and staff will proceed with plat recordation and permit issuance.
