Boulevard for an Automotive Repair and Convenience Store use in the
Texas Highway 10 Multi-Use District (TX-10) and consider
recommendation for an Ordinance.
Chairman McNeese opened the public hearing.
Stephen Cook, Senior Planner, gave a brief description of the case. Mr. Ocampo
received a Specific Use Permit for his business in October 2005 and subsequently in
June 2011 to convert the south building from an auto service building to a convenience
store and food mart. As a condition of the specific use permit, the SUP was tied to Mr.
Ocampo's business name. He has reorganized his company into a limited liability
corporation entitled Adam's Auto Service Enterprises LLC. This current application is to
update the SUP with the new business name. The conditions that were placed on the
business previously have been included with this SUP as well as an accounting of the
types of auto repair that are being conducted at the place of business as per current
City of Euless policy for auto-related services requiring a SUP. The exhibit provided is
the same as the exhibit from 2011. No changes have been made or intended to be
made to the existing businesses with the exception of the name change.
Staff recommends approval with the following conditions:
1. The Specific Use Permit is tied to the Business Owner: Mr. Adan Ocampo; and,
2. The Specific Use Permit is tied to the Business Name: Adam's Auto Service
Enterprises, LLC; and,
3. All repair customer vehicles kept overnight must be parked in area located behind
screening fence; and,
4. Any outdoor storage of merchandise or other items must be placed in area located
behind screening fence; and,
5. All tires stored whether new or used shall be stored in a manner that is screened
from public view from the right-of-way and shall be stored under cover so as to not
allow the collection of rainwater in the tires; and,
6. All repair of vehicles, including but not limited to: tire repair, mechanical repair and
maintenance operations will be conducted within the building or behind the
screening fence; and,

period, staff is directed to return to the Planning and Zoning Commission and the
City Council for possible revocation of the SUP; and,
