Permit Request for Business

A business in El Campo has set up shop in a former church without securing the required special use permit. Midnight Tinterz, owned by Jesse Avendano, operates a tint shop at the rear of the 220 Main property, with plans for community gatherings in the front. The city allowed setup work to proceed, noting that approval isn’t guaranteed. Planning Director Krystal Hasselmeier stated the rezoning request likely won’t affect nearby properties. The Planning & Zoning Commission reviewed the request and will forward their decision to the city council.
