Summary

The Planning Commission unanimously accepted an applicant request to defer a conditional use permit to the next meeting; neighbor Sheila Jackson spoke against placing the use in her quiet 27th Street neighborhood and asked that neighbors be informed when the item returns to the docket.

Planning staff told the commission the applicant emailed a request to defer the next conditional use permit item to a future meeting. The commission moved, seconded and approved the deferral by roll call (unanimous 8–0).

Sheila Jackson, who lives on 27th Street, told the commission she has lived in the neighborhood since 2000 and opposes the proposed use on her block, saying she values the neighborhood's quiet character. Commission staff told Jackson the item will return to the docket and encouraged neighbors to send comments or attend the next hearing so their views will be included in the record.

The commission recorded the deferral and noted the administrative process for notifying interested residents; no additional action was taken at this meeting.
