At the June 12 meeting of the planning and zoning commission, two special-use permits sought by RaceTrac were denied.


The first permit was for a convenience store with gasoline sales at 7015 Colleyville Blvd., near Bear Creek Spirits & Wine, and the other was for alcoholic beverage sales of beer and wine only for off-premises consumption.


The commission noted that a gas station is not consistent with the vision that the city’s comprehensive plan has for that property.


Specifically, the vision calls for quality retail and restaurant uses that generate sales tax.


Although the gas station would have retail and food components, commissioners felt the property was intended for higher-quality uses.


The permits are expected to come before City Council on July 18.
