Councilman O'Donnell: Jolof Senegal Kitchen public hearing closed; vote set for next meeting
Summary
Councilman Tom O'Donnell said Catherine Smith’s request for a special-use permit for Jolof Senegal Kitchen at 12667 New Halls Ferry Road was the subject of a public hearing that closed and will be voted at the next council meeting; a substitute bill changed the zoning classification and adjusted hours to 9 a.m.–10 p.m.
Councilman Tom O'Donnell recapped that the council held a public hearing on Catherine Smith’s application for a special-use permit to open Jolof Senegal Kitchen at 12667 New Halls Ferry Road and that the hearing was closed and will be voted on at the next meeting. "That will be voted on at the next meeting," O'Donnell said.
The council accepted a substitute version of the request during first reading that amended the zoning classification from B3 to B2 (extensive business to extensive business district more appropriate for the location, per the substitute) and adjusted the restaurant's permitted hours of operation to 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. The substitute bill received its first reading and will return for a final vote at the next scheduled meeting. No final action or vote on the special-use permit was recorded in the recap.
The request was presented by Catherine Smith during the public hearing; the council closed public comment on the item. The next procedural step is a council vote at the subsequent meeting, when councilmembers will take a final decision on the special-use permit and the substitute ordinance.
