Hamilton City Council voted 3–2 on July 13 to uphold Planning and Zoning's decision and deny an appeal by Focus Ministries Inc. that sought a building permit for a thrift store on property recently annexed by the city. Councilor Wall made the motion to uphold the planning board's findings and Mayor Pro Tem Alvin Howard seconded; Mayor Patrick Whearley, Mayor Pro Tem Howard and Councilor Wall voted in favor while Councilor Allen and Councilor Farley opposed the motion.
The appeal concerned the planning and zoning determination tied to a proposed thrift-store use at a site annexed into Hamilton. The council's action leaves the planning commission's earlier decision in place and means no permit was granted at the meeting. No amendments to the planning decision or continuing directions to staff were recorded in the minutes. The minutes list the outcome as "Approved. Appeal Denied" with a 3–2 tally.
Next steps were not detailed in the meeting record; the council noted no new business on the topic before moving to routine FYI items and adjournment.
