26-10-SUP: Restore Destiny Church in a Harwood Rd office suite near SH 360
901 E. Harwood Road, Euless · City Council hearing held Tue Oct 13
What's proposed
A Specific Use Permit (Ordinance No. 2468) for a place of worship, which C-2 allows only with an SUP. Restore Destiny Church would use a 1,690 sq ft suite for Sunday services (10 AM–noon, 25–50 people expected) and mid-week gatherings (7–9 PM), plus youth and outreach programs. Interior changes only; no exterior work. The building's other tenants, a dental implant provider and an optometrist, are closed evenings and Sundays. The church needs 7 to 13 of the 37 parking spaces on site.
Staff recommendation
"Approval," with conditions: the SUP is tied to the name Restore Destiny Church and to the business owner, Elvis Vargas, and may be revoked if any condition is broken.
Who it helps or hurts
No residential zoning is shown next to the site on the city's map; activity is small and indoors.
Sunday and evening hours do not overlap with the other tenants.
Within about 1,000 feet
Commercial frontage along E. Harwood Road and SH 360 (C-2, CUD and PD 1904 zoning on the city's map).
Watch for
- The conditions do not cap attendance or hours. The pastor told the commission the church does not expect significant growth and would move if it did.
- The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval 6-0 on Sep 15, 2026. No one spoke.
- Letters went to owners within 200 ft; staff reported zero responses.
Next step
This is the final vote: City Council makes the final decision at this Oct 13, 2026 hearing (Ordinance No. 2468).
