Title
Conduct a public hearing and consider an ordinance for Zoning Application No. Z0725-0410 submitted by Angelica Chapa on behalf of Zanas 8885 Corporation (Mi Rinconcito) for a change of zoning from General Retail to General Retail with a Conditional Use Permit to allow a convenience store located at 1200 East Davis Street, Suite 127.
(No responses in favor or in opposition to the application have been received from property owners within the statutory notification area. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommends approval with certain stipulations.)
Body
The applicant requests a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to allow Mi Rinconcito to operate as a convenience store in a 1,400-square-foot retail space at 1200 East Davis Street, Suite 127. Mi Rinconcito was issued a Certificate of Occupancy (CO) in December 2021 under the use classification of Gift, Novelty, and Souvenir Shops (SIC 5947), with the business originally indicating sales of ornaments, shirts, and handicrafts from Mexico and Central America. The business now seeks to expand its offerings to include beer, primarily from Latin countries, in addition to its existing merchandise. With this expanded scope of sales, staff has determined that the use constitutes a convenience store, which requires a CUP in the General Retail zoning district.
On August 11, 2025, the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of the request with a stipulation that the CUP be limited to the applicant, Zanas 8885 Corporation (Mi Rinconcito), by a vote of 6-1, with Commissioner Walker opposed.
Recommended/Desired Action
Following the public hearing, staff recommends that the City Council take action.
