Public Opinion
Public notice was posted at the proposed location and special notice letters were mailed to residents within a 1/8 mile radius of the proposed location. The comment period expired December 11, 2025. One valid letter protesting the issuance of the permit was received and is on file in the Office of the City Clerk. The letter is from two local residents who feel that the issuance of the permit will negatively affect property value, may cause an increase in noise, drug-use, and crime in the area, and would not add value to the neighborhood.
Staff Recommendation
Staff gave careful consideration to the protest letter received; however, after reviewing the application in its entirety, staff is recommending approval of this application.
