Committee forwards favorable recommendation for Casa Benfica permit to full City Council; hearing closed
Summary
The Committee on Appointments and Briefing closed the public hearing on a special-permit application for Casa Benfica and voted to forward a favorable recommendation to the full City Council; the item is scheduled for the council's September agenda.
At the Aug. 21 meeting the committee took three formal steps on Item 1: it received and placed the application on file and opened the public hearing; it closed the hearing; and it approved a motion to forward a favorable recommendation to the full City Council.
Councilor Jester moved to receive and open the public hearing (seconded by Councilor Bergel). Later, after applicant testimony and staff comments, the committee voted to close the hearing on a voice vote. On the motion to recommend approval to the full council, the transcript records the motion was made by Councilor Maria Giesta and seconded by Councilor Sean Oliver; the chair called for ayes and "the ayes have it." The chair said the item will appear on the September City Council agenda.
