Title
Conduct a public hearing and consider an ordinance for Zoning Application No. Z0925-0418, submitted by David Vu Tran, Sam’s Nail Supply, for a change of zoning from Commercial within the Town East Retail and Restaurant Area (TERRA) Overlay District to Commercial within TERRA Overlay District with a Conditional Use Permit to allow wholesale trade of nail and beauty supplies located at 3677 Emporium Circle.
(One response in favor and one in opposition to the application has been received from property owners within the statutory notification area. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommends approval with certain stipulations.)
Body
The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to allow Sam’s Nail Supply to operate within an existing building at 3677 Emporium Circle. Sam’s Nail Supply is a retail and wholesale business that sells products commonly used in nail salons, including nail polish, tools, accessories, personal protective equipment, and spa furniture.
This request was previously considered by the Planning and Zoning Commission in 2021 and was denied in a 5-1 vote. Following the denial, the applicant obtained a Certificate of Occupancy for retail use, not wholesale. However, since that time, the City has been notified on multiple occasions that wholesale operations have continued at the property. If the CUP is approved, the applicant will need to obtain a Certificate of Occupancy and comply with applicable Building and Fire Code requirements.
According to the company’s website, Sam’s Nail Supply offers wholesale memberships for individuals or businesses purchasing products in bulk. The applicant has indicated that the site will be used for retail sales, wholesale operations, and product distribution. The retail component will allow customers to purchase items for personal use without a wholesale membership, while the wholesale and distribution operations will involve both pickup and delivery of supplies. The applicant also proposes to store and operate two box trucks on-site for product deliveries.
The Mesquite Zoning Ordinance (MZO) requires a CUP for wholesale trade operations involving nondurable goods within a Commercial Zoning District. In addition, the property is located within the Town East Retail and Restaurant Area (TERRA) Overlay District, which also requires CUP approval for all wholesale trade uses.
On October 27, 2025, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 4-3, with Commissioners Arnold, Chenault, and Alwalee opposing, to approve the CUP, subject to a stipulation that it is limited to the applicant and cannot be transferred or assigned to a different owner or business.
Recommended/Desired Action
Following the public hearing, staff recommends that the City Council take action.
