Council rezones 3079 Highway 66 to commercial amid TABC spacing discussion
Summary
The council rezoned 3079 Highway 66 from Agriculture (A1) to Commercial (C-1) to allow a proposed restaurant; staff and council discussed Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission spacing rules and an upcoming alcohol ordinance update.
Building Official Josh Kinnick told council the 1.00-acre property at 3079 Highway 66 was next to Top Kids daycare and the owner wanted to build a restaurant, which required rezoning from Agriculture (A1) to Commercial (C-1); the Planning and Zoning Commission had approved the request. In discussing the matter Mayor Pro Tem John Verity raised concerns about whether local spacing rules for alcohol sales might conflict with state law; City Attorney Susan Thomas explained that state law typically preempts local law and that the city was updating its zoning ordinance to align with Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission (TABC) rules.
After the council discussed TABC compliance and the need to update the city's alcohol regulations, Mayor Pro Tem John Verity moved to approve the rezoning at 3079 Highway 66 and the council voted unanimously to rezone the parcel to commercial zoning.
