Background Information:
The subject business is located in the “walk out” basement of the building with a primary entrance that faces the parking lot adjacent to Hopkins Street. Previous businesses at this location include ‘Jay’s Bistro’, ‘Taxi’s’, and ‘Kiva’. In 2016 Kiva was issued a Certificate of Occupancy valid for the lifetime of the business. Kiva permanently closed in late 2019.
The business owner changed the name of the business to ‘Axis’ and opened in February of 2020. Staff issued a Certificate of Occupancy for Axis without communicating that a new Conditional Use Permit would be required. For this reason, the business owner was under the impression that the lifetime CUP issued to Kiva would continue through the name change.
On December 10, 2024, Planning and Zoning Commission approved a renewal of the restaurant CUP, valid for six (6) months.
