Neighbors complain after trees removed during Blessed Sacrament parking‑lot expansion; city staff says administrative approval followed code

Summary

Residents raised concerns that large trees were removed during a parking‑lot expansion at the former Blessed Sacrament site on West Davis Street and said they were not notified; city staff told the Historic Preservation Commission the site is outside the historic district and the expansion was approved administratively under the unified development ordinance, which does not require neighbor notification.
