Obtain and review Greenville Avenue bar permit conditions before City Council adoption

Context: The City Plan Commission's 14-0 recommendation on October 23, 2025 advances the permit with embedded conditions; Council adoption converts them into enforceable SUP terms.

Recommended: If you represent the applicant or an adjacent property owner, pull the specific operating conditions recommended by the City Plan Commission now — once City Council adopts the amended Specific Use Permit No. 2355, those conditions bind the use and are difficult to modify without a new amendment proceeding.

Request vote records to verify absent commissioner at Greenville Avenue bar permit hearing

Context: The October 23, 2025 vote record for Specific Use Permit No. 2355 amendment includes the notation '*Wheeler-Reagan out of room, shown voting in favor' on a 14-0 vote, raising a question about the accuracy of the recorded count.

Recommended: The City Plan Commission minutes flag that Commissioner Wheeler-Reagan was out of the room but recorded as voting in favor on the unanimous vote — request the verbatim minutes and sign-in records to verify whether the tally was properly recorded before City Council acts on it.
