Item 73 Postponed
In plain language — from the agenda backup
This is a rezoning request for the property at 1811 East Cesar Chavez Street, where the owners want to shift the zoning to allow commercial liquor sales (CS-1). It's worth watching because city staff recommend denying the change while the Planning Commission recommends granting it — and a valid petition has been filed in opposition, which raises the bar for approval. Council will hold a public hearing before deciding.
