Special Use Permit for Used Vehicle Sales at 2401 S US 183
Approved special use permit Z25-203 to allow used vehicle sales on 0.73 acres at 2401 South US 183, previously operated as Leander Automall. The SUP is limited to five years with option for extension. Site was previously a used car dealership that lost nonconforming status when operations ceased in 2023. Current zoning is GC-4C General Commercial; used car sales requires Heavy Commercial zoning, hence the SUP approach.
