The Boerne Planning and Zoning Commission on April 7 approved a special-use permit for a new O’Reilly Auto Parts store coming to the Live Oak Shopping Center on the northern end of Main Street.
The details
The new store will be a smaller store focusing on in-person sales and not handling online orders, a representative said during a Feb. 18 Boerne Neighborhood Discussion meeting.
O’Reilly Auto Parts is planning on taking the part of Live Oak Shopping Center that formerly housed Dukes Bar.
A special-use permit is required for the project partly due to the location being in the Entrance Corridor Overlay District, which requires a permit for auto parts sales.
According to a presentation during the April 7 meeting, the new store is projected to have around 176 customers each day.
Upon completion, the Live Oak Shopping Center location will be the second O’Reilly Auto Parts store in the Boerne area, and it will have a store at each end of Main Street.
What they’re saying
Chair Tim Bannwolf, alongside other Planning and Zoning Commission members, raised concerns about the delivery hours for the location, which an O'Reilly representative said could happen from around midnight to 2 a.m.
Bannwolf made the recommendation that a stipulation be added to the permit allowing deliveries to the store between 7 a.m. and 10 p.m. to mitigate large truck traffic in the area during late hours.
With this addition, the permit was unanimously approved.
