Council extends liquor special use permit, passes zoning and official-logo ordinances
The Belleville City Council voted to extend the special-use permit for liquor service and outdoor dining for The Heart Pub, located at 1112 West Main Street, through Oct. 31, 2025. The council also passed two ordinances by title: a zoning ordinance associated with the Heart Pub case and an amendment to Title 1, Chapter 10 of the city code adding Section 10.12 governing official-logo use.

Why it matters: Extending the special-use permit allows the Heart Pub to continue outdoor dining and liquor service under the conditions of the permit through the stated date. The logo ordinance creates a regulatory rule for the official use of the city's logo in the municipal code.

Details: The motion to extend the special-use permit referenced case materials and parcel identifiers read into the record. Both ordinances were read by title only and approved by roll call vote. No conditions beyond the extension date were discussed in the recorded motion.

What was decided: The council approved the permit extension and the ordinances by roll call. The extension runs through Oct. 31, 2025; the logo ordinance adds a new section to the municipal code on official-logo use.
