Board backs favorable recommendation for bar relocation in Millhouse Square
Summary
The board recommended a favorable recommendation to the City Council for Tricia Smith’s request to operate a bar/restaurant at 101 South Court Street in Millhouse Square, finding the space already configured for the use and noting no remonstrations.
Tricia Smith told the Board of Zoning Appeals she seeks to relocate an existing bar/restaurant concept into an already-outfitted space at 101 South Court Street in historic Millhouse Square. The building had previously housed a similar use and staff noted façade repairs had been funded through a grant; there were no letters of remonstration in the record.
Staff said reactivating a prior use requires BZA and council action after a period of inactivity; board members asked only clarifying questions and one member moved to forward a favorable recommendation adopting the staff findings of fact. The board voted in favor and the recommendation will go to City Council on Sept. 8 for final action.
Quote: "I think this is pretty consistent. It was a bar before," a board member said when discussing the site’s history.
What happens next: The matter is scheduled for City Council consideration on Sept. 8, and the petitioner was advised to attend.
