Buckroe Coffee owner pitches family-focused mixed-use events, seeks zoning help
Summary
David Spring of Buckroe Coffee pitched a vision for a unique parcel—family-focused events, music, urban garden and streamlined permits—and asked staff to help explore a special zoning or special-use permit; the city manager offered to convene staff for a brainstorming session.
David Spring, who identified himself as the owner of Buckroe Coffee, used the public comment period to outline a plan to make a nearby parcel a community-focused space with music, events, an urban garden and family programming. He said the property’s niche events sometimes fall outside existing zoning and permit pathways and asked for a discussion with staff about a special zoning or special-use permit to streamline events.
City Manager Mary Bunting offered to set up a meeting between Spring and the community development team to brainstorm how the city could facilitate his proposals. Spring said he and his business partner hope to advance the plan this year and invited interested council members and staff to follow up.
