This podcast contains comments from the September 10, 2024 Bryan city council meeting.

Residents of a west Bryan neighborhood are successful in their appeal to the Bryan city council to keep a convenience store from being built off of Harvey Mitchell Parkway between Highway 21 and Sandy Point Road.

A unanimous council vote at the end of a 90 minute discussion during Tuesday's meeting (September 10) denied a conditional use permit that the planning and zoning commission approved in August on a 5-3 vote.

The council agreed with 13 residents of the Pleasant Hill subdivision who said that the location of the c-store, which would be accessible only from Smith Lake Boulevard, would create more neighborhood traffic by motorists going through as a shortcut to Lake Bryan.

Mayor Bobby Gutierrez and councilman Jared Salvato told the residents to expect the c-store to be built at the north edge of the subdivision along Sandy Point Road.

The council was told that homes have been built at 600 of the 1,800 lots at Pleasant Hill.
