The notice does not include a vote tally or a dollar amount. The same meeting's agenda also listed public hearings on a 14.07-acre rezoning and a Community Development Block Grant adjustment; minutes from that meeting have not been published, so no outcome on those items is recorded in the materials reviewed.

Planning Commission: outside storage permit

The Planning Commission scheduled an October 20 public hearing on a Conditional Use Permit for outside storage and operations for J&R Property Maintenance Corporation at 5769 W Feulner Park Cir in the Light Manufacturing (M-1) Zone. Agenda summaries describe the item as a public hearing, with one indicating the commission would take final action; no outcome is recorded. The commission also planned to review minutes from October 6, 2026, and held a work session consisting of procedural items.

Coming up
