Owner says $40,000 spent on accessibility work; board finds Live Oak Street property in compliance
Summary
After the owner said he had spent roughly $40,000 and submitted permits and documents, the board found the Live Oak Street property in compliance and dismissed the enforcement case, pending final agency approvals.
Officer Beverly Abrahamson presented the case for 200 Live Oak Street, describing a long-running matter tied to local business-tax (BTR) and change-of-use questions that began in March 2024. Abrahamson said the board’s order had been mailed and posted and that one BTR application remained pending approval.
Owner Jason (Jake) Pendleton told the board he had spent about $40,000 to bring an upstairs prayer room and related accessibility work up to code, had submitted numerous documents and permits, and was awaiting final review from the fire marshal and BTR approval. "We've already spent about $40,000," Pendleton said, explaining he had met with inspectors and the city’s attorney about a change of use.
Staff recommended dismissing the case or finding compliance because the outstanding items were in-process with the city and the owner had pulled permits. A board member moved to find the respondent in compliance; the motion passed unanimously on roll call.
The board ordered the respondents to contact the code inspector to verify compliance and reminded the owner of appeal rights and the five-year repeat-violation warning. The matter was closed.
