Board finds violations for paid-parking signs, gives owner 30 days to get permits and business tax receipt

Summary

The board found G Square Adventures LLC in violation for erecting paid-parking signs without a permit and operating without a business tax receipt (case 25000369). The city admitted nine photographic exhibits and ordered the owner to obtain permits and licenses within 30 days or face a $200-per-day fine; staff said the owner was close to compliance.

James Easley, presenting for the Clean and Safe unit, told the board that G Square Adventures, LLC had two outstanding violations at 98 Southeast 6th Avenue: unpaid/absent business tax receipts for a paid-parking operation and unpermitted signage installed on Oct. 29, 2025. Easley reviewed multiple exhibits (posting, affidavit of posting and photos from Oct. 29, Dec. 8, Dec. 9 and Dec. 30 re-inspections) and said the property remained out of compliance as of the Jan. 8 hearing.

Easley said he had been in contact with Mandy Robin of G Squared and with the city's planning and zoning and business tax receipt departments; those departments told the city the owner was “right at the finish line” and expected permits and licensing within 14 days. The board admitted nine exhibits into evidence.

After brief questioning about the two distinct violations (signage and business tax receipt), a member moved to find the violations and order correction within 30 days. The motion called for a $200-per-day fine for each day thereafter of noncompliance and required the respondent to notify the code enforcement officer when the property was brought into compliance. The motion passed by voice vote.
