Restaurant at the Hub building, 1560 Orange Avenue
Summary
The owners of the Hub office building want to convert the gutted first floor into a 300-seat restaurant plus a 50-seat café. The board discussed parking math, beefed-up landscaping to protect neighbors, and keeping the parking lot across the street for office workers only. A board member will recuse himself at the hearing due to a conflict.
