SUP2026-04 — Smoke shop and tobacco store in Azle, TX
An applicant is seeking a Specific Use Permit to operate a smoke shop and tobacco store in a renovated commercial suite (former Stardust Skating Rink, now Salon and Spa Galleria) on Northwest Parkway. As of April 2024, Azle requires a SUP for this use; the Commission recommended approval (3-1) despite two opposition letters, and noted nine smoke shops already operate within a two-mile area. No additional parking requirements and no distance restriction from the neighboring church apply, which is relevant for developers evaluating tobacco/vape retail tenants in this market.
