Calendar renewal deadlines for Serrato's alcohol sales permit before City Council vote

Context: Wheeler-Reagan's friendly amendment removing automatic renewal eligibility was accepted by applicant Serrato at the December 4, 2025 City Plan Commission vote, carried 13-0.

Recommended: If you represent the applicant, the Commission's floor amendment stripping automatic renewal eligibility means the permit will require active renewal on a hard deadline — build that calendar now before City Council finalizes permit terms.

Request the staff report behind the last-minute automatic renewal removal from Serrato's alcohol permit

Context: Wheeler-Reagan introduced the no-automatic-renewal amendment on the floor at the December 4, 2025 City Plan Commission hearing and applicant Serrato accepted it with no explanation in the public record.

Recommended: File a public records request for the staff report, any neighborhood association correspondence, and Commissioner Wheeler-Reagan's written basis for the floor amendment — the last-minute change suggests off-record concerns about long-term accountability that weren't aired publicly.

Speak at City Council before new alcohol sales are approved in your corridor

Context: The December 4, 2025 City Plan Commission vote (13-0) advances this matter directly to City Council for a final vote with no further Commission review.

Recommended: The City Plan Commission approved this alcohol sales application 13-0 on December 4 — the upcoming City Council vote is the final public hearing where you can testify for or against before it becomes permanent.
