Burleson council approves commercial rezoning on South Burleson Boulevard and a suite‑specific liquor-store permit
Summary
Council unanimously approved a baseline zoning change from agricultural to commercial for property on South Burleson Boulevard and separately approved a specific-use permit for a liquor/package store limited to the suite they will occupy.
The Burleson City Council unanimously approved two land-use items on March 24: a baseline zoning change for a property on South Burleson Boulevard from agricultural to commercial, and a suite‑specific specific-use permit (SUP) allowing a package/liquor store at 654 Southwest Wilshire.
Tony McElwain, development services director, said the South Burleson Boulevard parcel’s requested commercial zoning aligns with the city’s comp plan and is a holdover from the original annexation; staff and Planning & Zoning recommended approval after no public speakers responded to the notice. Councilmember Larry moved to approve the change and the motion passed unanimously.
On the Wilshire site, McElwain explained that the SUP is for a built-out suite (the former Tuesday Morning) and that the Planning & Zoning Commission recommended approval 7–1. The application identified the tenant as William C. Johnson of BDX Bottle Shop LLC. Staff recommended that the SUP be suite-specific so that any future expansion would require returning to P&Z and council. Council approved the SUP with the condition that it applies only to the specific suite; the vote was unanimous.
Both actions were recorded on first and final reading. The council included a condition requiring the applicant to meet supplemental regulations applicable to package stores and to provide any suite-specific modifications before receiving a certificate of occupancy.
Council members noted delivery and site operations will be conditions of approval and that suite-specific limits help avoid citywide zoning changes to the entire property.
