Notice of Violation: Land Use
Opened July 15, 2026 · Updated July 9, 2026
I thought the Volunteer Park Cafe had finally ceased using the back yard but that all changed this morning. This is exhausting and I'm sure not fun for you either but I feel like, if we let this go, thay will assume they can continue violating the use restrictions of their Conditional Use. My understanding was that the City fined them previously; we hadn't seen any violations since then. We still support the concept of the neighborhood restaurant--we just want them to abide by the conditions.
Status: Referred to Law
