Weselco approves rezoning and conditional-use permit for 2625 Northwest Gate Drive (future Stripes)
Summary
The City Commission approved first reading of ordinance 2025-18 to rezone 2625 Northwest Gate Drive from one-family to B-2 secondary/highway district and approved a conditional-use permit for a retail off-premises dealer at the same site; staff said the site was annexed recently and no petitions were filed.
The Weselco City Commission voted to rezone a 1.75-acre parcel at 2625 Northwest Gate Drive and granted a related conditional-use permit for a retail off-premises dealer, clearing two procedural steps for a planned convenience-store development.
City planning staff said notice appeared on the city monitor July 16 and that 14 property owners within a 200-foot radius were notified; staff reported no petitions for or against the rezoning. Planning staff said the property had been annexed into the city and described the site as "the site of the new Stripes." Staff and Planning & Zoning recommended approval of both the rezoning (first reading of ordinance 2025-18) and the conditional-use permit.
Commissioner Lopez made the motion to approve the rezoning and Commissioner Pedraza seconded. The commission approved first reading of ordinance 2025-18 to rezone the parcel from R-1 (single-family) to B-2 (secondary and highway). Immediately afterward the commission approved the conditional-use permit for the retail dealer at the same address (motion by Commissioner Lopez, second by Commissioner Pedraza); both measures passed by voice vote.
The city clerk recorded that required notices were provided; staff said the conditional-use permit proceeds from the rezoning and that Planning & Zoning recommended approval. No members of the public spoke at the public hearing on these items.
Next steps: staff will finalize ordinance language for second reading and follow the city's normal procedures for permitting and inspection as the developer advances site plans.
