CITY COUNCIL GRANTS TWO SPECIAL USE PERMITS

  

Two Specific use permits were granted today on their second reading by Brenham City Council.  Redeemer Church Brenham will be allowed to operate the Church School and hold Sunday Services on their property at 2111 South Blue Bell Road.  Redeemer recently purchased Brenham Christian Academy and plans on continuing the school at that location.

Council also granted a Specific Use Permit to On Site Clean Car to operate an automobile detail shop at 1414 West Main Street.  At the last meeting, Councilwoman Susan Cantey questioned what the business would look like from someone driving into the city on Main Street.  City staffers added wording into the Specific Use Permit requiring the owner to screen his operations from view.  Owner of the business, Alex Tran, explained the council that he intended to operate the business in a clean and organized manner, but that he objected to the requirement that he shield his operation from view when the other detail shops in town are allowed to operate in the open.  Council then agreed to remove the screening from Main Street requirement, but put a 6 month limit on the permit.  At that time the council would consider renewing the permit depending on how the business looked.
