Bayou Ventures, Inc. is requesting a Specific Use Permit to operate a wholesale automotive parts distribution center at 660 Fannin Street.

The new products will require more space, which he feels the property at 660 Fannin Street can provide. All products are delivered, and there will be no store front for retail sales. A new garage door opening will be cut in the front of the structure to provide better access to the space. Please note that final occupancy approval is subject to review and acceptance of submitted plans and field inspections to verify compliance with applicable codes. Exhibits are attached.
