What's proposed

Owner/applicant Karim Pirani / Enigma Enterprises Inc. (representative Robert Nunez) seeks a new SUP for the sale of alcoholic beverages with a general merchandise or food store 3,500 sq ft or less. The property is zoned RR Regional Retail with a D-1 Liquor Control Overlay, which requires an SUP for any alcohol sales. The prior SUP No. 2337 was approved June 12, 2019, extended in 2024, and expired in May 2026. No changes to the store, site plan or operations are proposed; this replaces the lapsed permit.

Staff recommendation

"Approval, subject to a site plan and conditions." Key condition: TIME LIMIT — "This specific use permit shall not expire," replacing the earlier two-year terms. Other conditions: use limited to alcohol sales with the small food store; compliance with the attached site plan; property kept in good repair. The store passed its annual Chapter 12B inspection.

Who it helps or hurts

Adjacent single-family / residential ownersNeutral

the report lists no residential neighbors. Surrounding uses are a fuel station/food store and restaurant (north, PD 533 with SUP 2286), undeveloped land (east), a church (south; United House of Prayer at 121 Murdock Rd is on the notification list), and another fuel station/food store (west). Church/school spacing is checked separately at permitting.

Nearby commercial / land investorsHelpful

a no-expiration SUP is worth more than the prior two-year permits and matches nearby approvals (Z190-122 at Oklaunion Dr, 2021; Z201-195 southeast of Murdock, 2021). Removes renewal risk.

Within about 1,000 feet

Great Trinity Forest Way is described as a primary arterial; McDonald's is on the notification list. Transit access is not stated in the report.

Watch for

  • Why CPC held the case on Sept 3 is not stated; "No changes have been proposed since the previous hearing." The adjacent church and the no-expiration term are likely discussion points; CPC could impose a time limit.
  • 7 property owners notified (list dated 08/18/2026); replies not stated in the report.

Next step

Yes — SUPs require a City Council public hearing after CPC; date not stated in the report.
