“And that will then take us to... Zoning Map Amendment Petition Number 25-56RZ, Calvary Bible Church. The staff is Nicole Tremblay. The agent is the City of Venice. The owner is the Calvary Bible Church. This is a quasi-judicial hearing. I do have a memorandum to read. This is to certify that the public hearing for this petition was appropriately advertised on August 29th, 2026, as required by the City of Venice Land Development Code. Proof of publication is on file in the Planning and Zoning Office. And I will open the public hearing. And could I have attorney question the members, please?”
