BRENHAM PLANNING AND ZONING TO DISCUSS CAR WASHES
The Brenham Planning and Zoning Commission will decide whether to allow car washes as a specific use in mixed business and residential areas at its meeting Monday.
Commissioners will hold a public hearing before acting on an ordinance text amendment to permit car washes in the city’s B-1, local business/residential mixed use zoning district as a specific use. The city currently allows car detailing shops in the B-1 district, but not car washes.
In June, Todd and Tyson Felder asked the city if they could redevelop the property at 1413 West Main Street with an automatic car wash.
The matter was discussed during the Planning and Zoning Commission’s meeting on June 28th, where commissioners said they were in favor of allowing car washes on a case-by-case basis. Their recommendation was passed on to the Brenham City Council on July 1st, and city staff were told to prepare an ordinance text amendment for commissioners to consider.
The commission will meet Monday at noon at Brenham City Hall.
