Halfway House Conditional Use Permit

At a glance

• What: Ferrell said a constituent in his ward applied in May for a conditional use permit to buy a house and run a commercial catering business, and was not approved; he was confused because the City is considering approving the same kind of permit for a halfway house.
• Response: Kerns said the person he mentioned was told they could run a food truck on their property.
• Context: Moore said organizations come into the West Side and change their intent after the fact; the journal does not tie this to a specific project.
• Where it stands: Remarks only; no application, vote or address is recorded in the minutes.
