The zoning administrator approved a use permit for a food‑service establishment at 86 Belvedere Street, finding the project met municipal requirements for the space (about 987 sq ft interior); hours were amended from 6 a.m.–8 p.m. to allow operations until 10 p.m.

The zoning administrator approved a use permit on March 18 for a proposed food‑service establishment at 86 Belvedere Street, allowing the tenant to occupy roughly 987 square feet of interior space with an additional roughly 140 square feet allocated to janitorial and mechanical functions.

Planner Michaela O'Brien described the tenant improvements and said the project meets the applicable municipal code findings for a food‑service use. O'Brien told the hearing that hours of operation had been conditioned as 6:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. daily. During the hearing the applicant asked whether later hours could be considered; following a brief public comment in support, the zoning administrator amended the approval to permit operations until 10:00 p.m.

A public commenter said the business would be a positive addition to the community and offered support, noting nearby convenience stores and expressing enthusiasm about higher‑quality coffee service.

The administrator approved the project subject to the findings and conditions of approval and noted the approval is appealable for five business days and that building permits may not be issued until after the appeal period.
