Council denies special‑use permit for convenience store at 520 S. Saginaw Blvd.
Summary
With the applicant absent, council members voted to deny a SUP for a convenience store at 520 South Saginaw Boulevard after the mayor read a single written public comment opposing the project; staff recommended proceeding but the council denied the permit by motion.
The council voted to deny a special‑use permit (SUP) for a proposed convenience store at 520 South Saginaw Boulevard after the applicant failed to appear for the hearing.
Luisa (staff) told the council the applicant was not present and offered the choice to table or act; the mayor read a written public comment from a resident identified as "Trey" who opposed the proposal. The mayor read the comment into the record: "It will increase crime and eventually run good families out of the area. It will turn ghetto quickly." The council then moved to deny the SUP and the motion passed.
Staff noted there was no other public comment form submitted for the item. The denial was recorded as council action; no conditions or continuations were applied.
