On April 21, 2025 the City Council voted 5–2 to approve the final reading of an ordinance granting a special use for a professional office at 155 North Northwest Highway (SU-25-04) for Deljo Heating & Cooling, Inc. The Planning and Zoning Commission had split evenly, which the City Attorney said counts as a recommendation of denial and requires five of seven alderpersons to approve. Members discussed Uptown Master Plan priorities for retail storefronts and vacancies. The draft ordinance makes the special use personal to the applicant.
