Commission approves Hire Love’s move into downtown storefront
Summary
The City Commission approved an application allowing Hire Love to relocate into a downtown storefront between the laundromat and Evergrande; commissioners discussed access, parking and hours and recorded approval by roll call.
A representative for Hire Love asked the City Commission on March 25 for approval to relocate the organization from its highway location into a vacant storefront between the new laundromat and Evergrande.
The representative, identified in the meeting as the director of human resources standing in for the usual contact, said the move would convert existing storefront windows to doors, with retail and customer-facing sales in front and inventory in the back. They said the new space includes three parking spaces immediately in front plus five additional spaces in a nearby lot.
Commissioners discussed site access (the representative said entry would be via the back of the building), whether existing operating-hour restrictions would carry with the move, and whether licensing or bar-related regulations would affect the relocation. Staff confirmed the use is permitted in the commercial district and that the current restrictions (hours of operation) would likely move with the business permit.
A motion to approve the application to move Hire Love to the new location was made, seconded and carried by roll call. During the roll call recorded in the meeting transcript, the following individuals were recorded as voting yes: Lisa (identified during roll call), Jen (Jennifer Atkinson), Joey Irving (Joey Irving), Patty Nephew, Bell Reardon and others indicated assent (the transcript records multiple "Yes" responses). The commission did not record any dissenting votes in the transcript extract available.
The commission directed staff to finalize any conditions related to hours of operation and to proceed with any additional licensing steps required by the move. The applicant said they would finalize signage and building access changes after the vote.
