The Winchester Planning Commission is set to consider the potential revocation of the Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for Milano Sports Bar, located at 107 West Fox Gallant Street, following concerns about compliance with the conditions set by the city council. This decision comes after a review process that mirrors the initial granting of the CUP, emphasizing the importance of adherence to local regulations.

During the work session held on October 7, 2025, officials outlined the procedure for revoking a CUP, which is initiated when a business fails to meet specific conditions imposed at the time of approval. The zoning administrator has formally requested the commission to evaluate the situation, leading to a public hearing scheduled for the next regular meeting. The commission will then make a recommendation to the city council, which is expected to make a final decision in November.

The CUP holder, Mr. Lanzetta, was present at the meeting and is available to address any questions regarding the operation of the bar. Should the commission recommend revocation, the business will retain the right to appeal any decision made by the city council to the circuit court.

This process highlights the city's commitment to ensuring that local businesses operate within the established guidelines, reinforcing the importance of compliance for the benefit of the community. As the situation develops, stakeholders will be closely monitoring the outcomes of the upcoming public hearing and subsequent city council decision.
