It is a hot mess, but according to the city’s version of events, the PSWC was up and running for over a year before the city knew of it. Of course, the PSWC claims they emailed the city zoning office and got a green light. But I suppose that’s an entirely other controversy.

Hear, hear, Cubalibre. Our city leaders failed miserably on this one, particularly the commissioners who represent District 1.

I sincerely hope the City will find a way to play Solomon on this one– I feel for the neighbors, but I feel for the clients of the Center, too. No matter what happens, there’s sure to be an appeal to the Superior Court, so I don’t think tonight will be the end of it. Since, IMO, this whole snafu could’ve been avoided if there’d just been a proper variance granted to begin with (instead of the somewhat sloppy back-dooring of the Center’s right to be where it is), if the Center ends up having to move, it should lay the blame squarely at the City’s feet. I’m usually a fan of how things are run downtown, but this just ended up being a hot mess!
