“The goal of the seminar is to help new and existing restaurant businesses navigate the various aspects of Building and Zoning Services and to understand the resources available,” says Mark Swanson, President of Stauf’s, Cup o’ Joe and MoJoe Lounge. “Many people might be surprised to learn that BZS will meet with a potential restaurateur about a particular site and or concept and provide a simple review for free.”
Experts will cover seven topics to help new restaurateurs and those eateries thinking of opening another location wade through the nuts and bolts of zoning. Discussions include initial project planning, project approval process, building code requirements, building plan approval, inspections, public service information and health department information.
The initial project planning and project approval process sessions are broken down to the details.
