SUP 26-01 — Retail tire sales and light auto repair, 6600 Bursey Road
Watauga, TX
Description
A specific use permit for a tire sales and light auto repair shop in a General Business district, directly behind Durham Farms homes. The council tabled it to August 10 because one member was absent; six yes votes will be needed to override the P&Z denial recommendation.
Impact summary
The City Council denied it on Aug 24, 2026.
The shop would have brought a long-vacant building back to life with promised enclosed operations and landscaping, but neighbors feared constant noise from service bays echoing into their backyards only 15-20 feet away.
