Gas station permit granted, with conditions

Date:

Pearland City Council on Aug. 28 supported 5-1 a conditional use permit that would have allowed a gas station to open at 4109 Manvel Road, so long as the plan was screened and re-oriented to place gas pumps farther from residences.

Petrichor Technical Group LLC wants to build the station on the site of a previous gas station that was demolished.

Two residents with young children spoke in opposition to the permit, citing the presence of dangerous fuel vapors in residential areas. In addition, they said, gas stations and convenience stores are much larger than they were years ago.

“It’s time to set a new precedent and not allow gas stations to share property lines with residential properties,” neighbor Diane Friday said.
