Garden Foundation granted use-permit for cafe and training program for adults with disabilities
Summary
The board approved a two-year review and allowed the Garden Foundation to operate a cafe as a training and employment program for adults with disabilities; the recreational facility events were restricted for tenants of the property.
The Garden Foundation presented a request to preserve existing entitlements and to allow a small public cafe that will serve as a training site and a pathway to competitive employment for adults with disabilities. Taylor Chaney said the organization intends to open the cafe to the public to provide on-site job training and competitive-wage placements.
Planning staff and the board added a condition limiting recreational events to tenants of the property, to align with the organization’s stated training mission and to reduce neighborhood impacts. With that condition the board approved items 21 and 22 and set a two-year review for entitlements.
