Verify live music venue permit conditions and four-year term
Context: The City Council approved the amendment on 2026-10-14 (Z-26-000157), while the City Plan Commission's 14-0 recommendation on 2026-09-03 was for a four-year period subject to conditions.
Recommended: Pull the final ordinance and conditions for the amended Specific Use Permit at 2640 Elm Street and confirm the permit term and operating conditions before committing to any lease, buildout, or sale. The City Plan Commission recommended approval for a four-year period, and the Council record does not state the final term.

Recommended: Ask the city for the adopted ordinance and conditions to learn whether Council kept the four-year term the City Plan Commission recommended. The public record does not state the term Council adopted or what the amendment changed from Specific Use Permit No. 2019.
