The Arlington City council has done an about-face and will prevent an oil-and-gas company from drilling new wells near Highway 360 and Pioneer Parkway.
In November, the council gave preliminary approval to the company's request for a special use permit. But after that meeting, the owner of a childcare business filed a lawsuit seeking a restraining order to prevent the final approval.
Last night, the council voted 5-to-4 to refuse the permit. They'll need to wait at least a year before applying for another one.
