Wylie council approves convenience store fueling station and OKs auto-repair SUP with conditions
Summary
Council approved a convenience store and fuel station SUP at Country Club & Park Boulevard (7–0) and a special-use permit for a minor auto repair shop at 7940 E. Parker Road with conditions (6–1). Conditions for the auto shop include removal/rehab of a rear metal building, overnight parking limited to the rear, and an 8-foot fence.
Wylie — The City Council on June 23 approved two zoning special-use permits affecting commercial corridors inside the city.
Convenience store and fueling station: Council approved a special-use permit for a 5,000-square-foot convenience store with a fueling station on 3.53 acres at the northeast corner of Country Club and Park Boulevard. Staff noted the site falls approximately 299.71 feet from a public school, short of the 300-foot standard that normally triggers an automatic restriction; the applicant added conditions banning vaping and e-cigarette product sales. After staff described notifications and the Planning & Zoning recommendation (a prior 4–0 recommendation to deny), Council approved the SUP 7–0. Applicant Moe Kellis said they are in talks with major fuel-brand operators and local retailers about the broader development concepts.
Minor automotive repair: Council also considered a special-use permit to allow a minor automotive repair use on about 1.275 acres at 7940 E. Parker Road (zoning case 2026-05). Planning staff explained the request includes allowing bay doors to face Parker Road and leaving an existing 2,400-square-foot metal storage building as legally nonconforming storage. Council and nearby residents discussed proximity to residential zoning on two sides, screening and fencing, site setbacks, hours, and overnight parking. The applicant, who lives nearby, said the planned shop would focus on maintenance (oil and tire services), not collision repairs, and said overnight vehicles would be kept inside or behind the building and not visible from the street.
Mayor Pro Tem Gina Maleche moved approval with three conditions: (1) renovate the rear structure to code or demolish it; (2) limit any overnight parking to the rear of the property; and (3) install an 8-foot fence with frontage landscaping/beautification. The motion passed 6–1 with Councilman Todd Pickens voting against. Council directed staff to memorialize the conditions in the SUP ordinance and to ensure site plan review and code-enforcement follow-up at the site-plan stage.
Both items must still meet technical site-plan review and building-permit requirements before construction or operation begins.
