Adam Griffin of 30K Holdings, LLC is seeking a specific use permit to build a Zippy J’s at the southeast intersection of East Blue Bell Road and Gay Hill Street. The developer wishes to demolish the former Terminix pest control building that is currently onsite in order to redevelop the property.
The gas station would operate from 5 a.m. to 11 p.m. and would have six gas pumps. The site plan calls for 16 standard parking spaces, 1 handicap-accessible space and 12 spaces at the fuel pumps. Griffin wrote in the specific use permit request that the proposed site plan is for pedestrian vehicles, as the pumps would only service four-wheeled vehicles and light-duty commercial vehicles versus 18-wheelers.
Zippy J’s opened its first location in Brenham at 203 South Blue Bell Road in 2020.
One public comment was received in opposition to the permit request, coming from Wee Care For All Childcare Center, which is located adjacent to the east. The center said it is concerned about the sale of alcohol, cigarettes and other tobacco products nearby the daycare and about the safety of the children there.
City staff recommends approval of the request on the condition that the property receive preliminary and final plats before the city issues a building permit. If approved, the item is expected to come before the city council at its meeting on May 2nd.
The commission will meet Monday at 5:15 p.m. at Brenham City Hall.
