Council approves lease and advances ordinance to bring Crown Bloom coffee shop to downtown
Summary
Council approved a lease agreement and gave first reading to an ordinance to lease 102 Academy Street to a business called Crown Bloom, which plans a coffee shop with organic coffee and gluten-free options.
The council voted on Feb. 11 to approve a lease agreement with Crown Bloom for the former fire department administrative building at 102 Academy Street. Council conducted a first reading of Ordinance O2025-01, which would formalize the lease; the ordinance requires a second reading at a subsequent meeting.
City staff said the RFP process produced respondents interested in the space and that Crown Bloom was the chosen tenant. Staff described the proposed tenant as opening a coffee shop focused on organic coffee and gluten-free food options. City staff indicated the tenant anticipates a 30-to-45-day build-out (upfit) after the lease is finalized and said a mid-spring opening could be expected, subject to coordinating remaining Phase Two work at the adjacent park.
Council voted to approve the lease and advanced the ordinance to a second reading; the transcript records the motion carrying with no opposing votes recorded at the business meeting.
