Staff asks commission to set zoning petition at 1170 Kentucky Ave. for Oct. 7 public hearing

President Dillon presided over a brief meeting of the Metropolitan Development Commission on Sept. 2 where staff requested that petition 2026CZN828, for property at 1170 Kentucky Avenue, be removed from the no-appeal docket and scheduled for a formal public hearing on Oct. 7, 2026. A staff member told the commission that "Staff is requesting that this be pulled from the no appeals docket and set for hearing for October 7" to allow time to resolve issues with the plan of operation and the commitments associated with the petition.

The commission moved and voted to place the case on the Oct. 7 public hearing calendar "without notice," with Commissioner Lyle making the motion and Commissioner Robinson seconding. President Dillon called the roll and the motion passed 7–0. Staff said the pause will give both city staff and the petitioner time to work through outstanding operational commitments before the public hearing.
