Following the opening of the Greenlife Grocery store, significant community effort was expended trying to understand how this development was approved and why it did not meet the requirements of the UDO. Questions were asked of the planning department, presentations were made to the Planning Director and City Manager, City Council members were implored to intervene, appeals were filed, ad infinitum…with the typical response being “everything is OK” or “We are not able to discuss that because…”.
After almost two years of community pressure, City Council allowed Joe Minicozzi to make a 15 minute presentation as the last item at an un-televised work session. No discussion was allowed after the presentation and Council requested that Mr. Minicozzi summarize his presentation in a bullet point list to which City Staff was to respond.
Mr. Minicozzi provided the requested bullet point list within 4 days. Two months later the City Attorney provided the City’s response. Click here to read the review. (Hint: it is pretty ridiculous as confirmed by 3rd party review)  CAN Review of Oast Reply 1.14 Mb
