Verify separate findings for Davis-Cockrell Hill convent permit
Context: Items 27 and 28 were explicitly read into the record and heard together at the February 5 CPC session, which voted 14-0 to carry — but no public record confirms whether deliberation was separated by case.
Recommended: Pull the February 5 City Plan Commission transcript and confirm that commissioners made individualized findings on the special use permit criteria — compatibility, neighborhood character, and operational impact — for this case specifically, not jointly with its companion case. A joint hearing without separate deliberation is a procedural gap a challenger can exploit after Council adopts the ordinance, and correcting the record after adoption requires a new hearing.
Audit convent permit conditions before Davis-Cockrell Hill Council vote
Context: Items 27 and 28 were heard together at the February 5 CPC session; the draft ordinance may carry conditions that originated in the companion case's staff report rather than this one.
Recommended: Request the draft Special Use Permit ordinance from the city attorney's office and compare any conditions — occupancy limits, operating hours, parking ratios, landscaping buffers — against what was presented for this case specifically, because conditions discussed in a joint session are routinely transcribed into both companion cases in the draft. Errors at this stage become permanent at adoption and require a new hearing to correct.
Identify companion case paired with Davis-Cockrell Hill convent permit
Context: The CPC meeting notes confirm items 27 and 28 were read into the record and heard together on February 5, 2026, but item 28 is not identified anywhere in the public-facing record for case 26-470A.
Recommended: File a public records request for the full February 5 City Plan Commission agenda, both staff reports, and the audio recording for items 27 and 28 — the companion case's identity does not appear in any publicly posted material for this matter, and if it involves the same applicant, adjacent parcels, or a related use conversion, the joint hearing format may be understating the development scope proposed at this intersection.
