El Campo Revisits Vehicle Sale Ordinance

El Campo’s new ordinance limiting where for-sale vehicles can be displayed is already under review just two weeks after approval. The rule targets businesses without car lot permits, but charity raffles are exempt. A proposal to waive permit fees failed, with city officials defending the $250 cost. The ordinance is part of a broader push to reduce blight, led by Councilman John Hancock. Some business owners voiced concerns, prompting city staff to reexamine the wording and enforcement challenges.
