What do “filed,” “under review,” “permitted,” and “open” actually mean?
Filed or proposedSomeone submitted a plan, permit, or license application. It is not an approval or opening.
Under reviewThe agency is reviewing the filing. A hearing may still be needed.
Approved or permittedAn approval or permit was recorded. Construction or opening is still not assumed.
Construction, completed, or openShown only when the official evidence supports that later milestone.
The fuller resident watchlist
All changes worth following
Search recognizable places, projects, addresses, and proposals. The default view mixes permits, planning, Public Works, and a small number of license filings so one newly collected source cannot take over the page. Routine permits and standalone business registrations are kept out.

How to read the stages and dates
A source record date is not always the day something happened. We label source dates separately from the date this watch first captured a record.
Separate administrative feed
Business Filings
City Business Operation Tax registrations can be useful leads, but they do not establish a storefront, lease, build-out, opening, or closure. They live here so readers who want the paperwork can seek it out without weakening the main Development Watch feed.

What’s changing near you
Browse the current watchlist by officially matched neighborhood. We show a plain list until the map can provide real street and boundary context.

Land use and City review
City Hall watch
Planning applications that could change a familiar place or neighborhood. This is not a general Council-agenda feed: an item appears here only when an official City record connects it to a specific project.

Review before anything is published
Approve, reject, or suppress suggested stories; review possible cross-source place matches; and approve an issue only when every included story is ready. Every decision is written to the audit history.
Technical database
All captured official records
This includes planning applications, business registrations, liquor-license filings, food-facility records, and permits omitted from the public feed. Open a record for its exact status, timeline, identifiers, and retained evidence.

Collection health
What has actually been collected
“Expected” is the authoritative endpoint count. “Accepted” is what passed processing in that run; unchanged pages can be recognized without rewriting the vault. A bounded run is not complete citywide coverage.
