El Campo City Council approved a special use permit for Castro Tire Shop’s new location on S. Mechanic Street, requiring all work to be done indoors to support the anti-blight initiative. Despite their history in the city, the council voted 6-1 to impose these restrictions. Planning & Zoning had approved the business plan with conditions, but District 4 Councilman John Hancock Jr. insisted on additional restrictions. District 1 Councilman Steve Ward questioned the impact on the business. The shop agreed to the conditions to operate.
