DRIPPING SPRINGS – To accommodate the growth in the community, H-E-B is looking at bringing a bigger store to Dripping Springs.
H-E-B is seeking to demolish the current location at 598 East US 290, Dripping Springs, and replace it with a larger store; the new store would be located on the same property as the original, using a tract of land to the east. If approved, while the new store is being constructed, the current would still be in operation temporarily and then, demolished afterwards.
The applicant went before the Dripping Springs Planning & Zoning (P&Z) Commission Jan. 28 with two requests: a zoning map amendment to rezone the existing H-E-B site from Planned Development District 1 (PDD 1) to Commercial Services (CS) and a variance to allow a building larger than 50,000 square feet in a CS Zoning District.
