Sugar Land City Council gave the initial green light to a new Porsche dealership, which will be located between U.S. 90A and the Southwest Freeway east of Dairy Ashford Road. Located by the Extended Stay America, SpringHill Suites by Marriott and Sugar Creek Baptist Church shopping center, near the Audi Dealership, the lot is about 1.11 acres.
According to Sugar Land planner Laura Waller, the permit’s main hurdle would normally be nearby residents—which does not apply to this property.
“Of particular interest is that there's no nearby residential property,” Waller said. ”That's typically the primary concern whenever you're looking at conditional-use permits—and there are not any nearby this site.”
At the Nov. 16 meeting, city officials granted the business a conditional-use permit, bringing the dealership one step closer to fruition. When complete, the dealership will be about 100 feet tall and include approximately six stories. It will feature 233 parking spaces, 12 service bays with room for future expansion, four wash and detail bays, and 11,205 square feet of showroom and sales space.
