A zoning change to allow for a gas station, convenience store, car wash and retail center on six acres of land at the corner of Mc-Carty Lane and Rattler Road was approved by the San Marcos Planning and Zoning Commission on Tuesday night.
The property, located on the southeast corner of the intersection, is not currently in the city limits. The request includes an annexation of the land into the city limits and two separate zoning designations. About half the property would be considered Commercial and the other half Heavy Commercial.
The property owner is Ravi Sahota, with Sahota Holdings, LLC. He has opened developments of this nature in multiple locations, including two in San Marcos. The most recent in San Marcos is the San Marcos Fuel Express building on Interstate 35 near the Trace master planned community.
