BMZA postpones conditional‑use request to convert former Burger King site to principal parking use after housing department notice
Summary
Board postponed the application to use 2033 Eastern Ave as a principal parking lot because a vacant building notice remains open for the property; applicant will coordinate with housing code enforcement and return when the notice is resolved or accommodations made.
The BMZA postponed Aug. 5 consideration of an application to use 2033 Eastern Ave (the former Burger King site) as a principal parking lot after staff advised the property has an outstanding vacant‑building notice. Planning and code‑compliance staff told the board they could not process a conditional‑use application while an unresolved violation remained on the property.
Attorney presenting for the applicant said the owner has been pursuing a new permitted use and that the proposed parking operation would not alter the vacant buildings. The board noted the zoning code contains a provision preventing processing of conditional‑use applications where unresolved code violations remain and that the housing division must confirm abatement or documentation sufficient to allow processing. Board members asked the applicant to work with housing/code enforcement and indicated they would postpone the matter until the property’s vacant‑building notice is resolved or otherwise addressed. The applicant agreed to coordinate with the housing department and return with clarification of the violation’s status before the board takes further action.
