05-2026 — Minor Automobile Repair Shop in DeSoto, TX
This case seeks a Specific Use Permit to operate a minor automobile repair shop on 0.809 acres currently zoned General Retail at 1027 E Belt Line Road. Staff recommends denial because the proposed use does not align with the Comprehensive Plan designation for medium-density residential development, which envisions single-family attached housing rather than commercial automotive repair facilities. The property is adjacent to single-family residential zoning to the north and south.
