New owner of Rookie’s gets conditional approval; must present sidewalks and parking plan by Feb. 2027
Summary
The commission granted conditional site-plan approval for a change in tenancy at Rookie’s, 1526 Van Vranken Ave., allowing the new owner to operate while requiring a timeline and revised plan for sidewalks, greenspace and residential parking by Feb. 18, 2027.
Deoram Rajkumar, who recently purchased Rookie’s at 1526 Van Vranken Avenue, received conditional site-plan approval to continue operating the bar and restaurant while he develops a schedule for required sidewalks, greenspace and residential parking. Rajkumar told the commission that some staff-required items in the report were an unexpected financial burden; commissioners indicated willingness to allow conditional operation so the owner could return with a revised plan.
Staff and commissioners emphasized that city code prioritizes residential parking over commercial parking and recommended converting multiple on-site garages to residential use. The commission’s approval requires the applicant to present a revised plan and schedule by Feb. 18, 2027, when the conditional site-plan approval expires.
