City public permit summary for Phase VII demolition, grading and green-space seeding. It records September 1, 2026 administrative finalization, which does not establish physical completion or roadway acceptance.
Public summary checked October 11, 2026: Inactive; applied July 28, 2025; finalized September 1, 2026; parcel 300030205. Detail-page issue/expiry dates are September 2, 2025/2026; search results show September 3, 2025/2026. The discrepancy is unresolved, so no issue date is assigned here. The description cites a plan dated September 4, 2025; SITE-2023-0011 displays a September 4, 2024 processing-completion date. Those dates are not reconciled. Inspection and attachment details require record-contact access and were not reviewed. Administrative status does not establish physical completion, roadway acceptance or correction approval. Link-only source; no portal attachments are archived.
