“Thank you. For the affected parties, I'm going to give you a little bit of a break. There will be a few moments before you speak, so you can have a seat there in the front row. Are there any folks here in the audience who wish to speak as a matter of of either witnesses or public participation. If so, please raise your hand or press five star on the phone. All right, seeing no others, and can you confirm no hands raised?”

“All right. So the doors cannot be propped open. They have to be open and closed only for ingress and egress. Is that right?”
City Commission · Oct 13, 2026
- Play at 2:00:27
“All right. What's the significance of no outdoor activities? As we know, some of the restaurants in the areas often like to have tables outside and have an opportunity for people to gather outside. What was the significance of that condition?”
City Commission · Oct 13, 2026

“Number three was soundproofing to a rating greater than 60. Could you explain to us what the significance of that is and what that rating means?”
City Commission · Oct 13, 2026
- Play at 2:01:12
“We've had establishments in the city that, let's say, are faith-based that we've had complaints because they would have music very loud. Did those have ratings of greater than 60 when they were open?”
City Commission · Oct 13, 2026
- Play at 2:01:27
“So was this a step by staff to try to, even without realizing what the affected parties would say, but to realize that there could be impacts on the local community that you wanted to make sure were mitigated?”
City Commission · Oct 13, 2026
- Play at 2:01:45
“Okay. They also voluntarily agreed to prohibit nightclubs and adult entertainment. Bless you. What's the significance of that?”
City Commission · Oct 13, 2026
- Play at 2:02:20
“So let's put a little finer point on this. There's some history at this property of noise complaints with the prior ownership of the strip shopping center, correct?”
City Commission · Oct 13, 2026
- Play at 2:02:34
“In fact, there were concerns that one of the businesses was essentially operating as a nightclub. It was very loud. Again, this was the prior ownership. Is that correct?”
City Commission · Oct 13, 2026
- Play at 2:03:53
“Okay, so just to give a final point, this had been a frustration of city staff and the community regarding noise and other things. You had taken interventions and needed additional assistance, is that fair to say?”
City Commission · Oct 13, 2026
- Play at 2:04:14
“Okay, and the new property owner had a choice. Correct. They could either keep the tenant who was paying rent and otherwise, or they could move to try to evict the tenant based on the city's complaints, correct?”
City Commission · Oct 13, 2026
- Play at 2:04:29
“And what did the new ownership group do?”
City Commission · Oct 13, 2026
- Play at 2:04:34
“And did city staff find that to be productive and positive assistance from the new ownership group?”
City Commission · Oct 13, 2026
- Play at 2:04:45
“Additionally, I want to just understand this nightclub issue. Have there been problems in the city where an establishment will allow a promoter to come in and hold an event that operates like a nightclub?”
City Commission · Oct 13, 2026
- Play at 2:05:07
“Okay, and has the city taken steps when it learns to shut those down even before they occur?”
City Commission · Oct 13, 2026
- Play at 2:05:19
“And to help everyone understand, how is it the city comes to learn that there might be a promoted event that is where the establishment has allowed a promoter to create an event and is pushing it out to the community and it's going to be chaos for the shopping center?”
City Commission · Oct 13, 2026
- Play at 2:05:52
“All right. And just to understand, this is even in advance of the event actually happening. You're working with the police department to catch it on social media, basically.”
City Commission · Oct 13, 2026
- Play at 2:06:02
“Right. So you have members of your team and the police department does as well because they want to prevent these from coming into the community, correct?”
