City Regulations on Opening A Shop

[anson89]

A local high end/tuner/performance shop for A LOT high end clients around the Houston area has agreed to lease out 1400 sq ft space for me.

A few things I'm worried about. The building was built in the 1930s, so I'm assuming it's "grandfather" property.

1. Do I need to install some water reclamation or sand trap system? This is a very expensive option, $30k. Unless, I register as a paint correction facility and not a Car Wash facility?

2. From what I heard, because it's a grandfather facility, I don't need to install any of these water reclamation or sand trap systems?

I think the only way to know for sure is to talk to the city government directly.

Another option is go rinseless and as eco friendly as possible...
