Possible new rules coming

Dealerships and gas stations, auto mechanic and tire shops along with those that sell tobacco and related products may face additional restrictions if discussions with El Campo’s Planning & Zoning Commission move forward. If green lighted, these sorts of establishments may soon require special use permits rather than simply locate in a specified business district. Any existing businesses would be grandfathered, but would be restricted from expansion and possibly renovation. Regulations on smoking related businesses are under review, but discussions do not include grocery-type stores.
