Wow. You can't have a party and have it catered in Hillsborough, huh? This city and some surrounding neighbors have had it out for the Flintstone House for years. A good lawyer should get involved and make an example of these NIMBY neighbors and this city government. They act like an HOA.

[@jepperjep84]

what's the lawyer going to do? change the zoning that's been established as residential for decades to accommodate one person's desire? get real

[@stevegonzo2091]

@@jepperjep84 We're talking about a home having a catered party. It's not a commercial endeavor. They state in the news report that the caterer was mistaken for a restaurant. Also will the City of Hillsborough be citing all the catered parties in the area? Probably not.

[@jepperjep84]

@@stevegonzo2091 they are appealing to have a consistent influx of numerous customer's visiting this specific property to sell food prepared on site. that isnt catering. that is a restaurant. this area of town is zoned and sanctioned for residents, not operating businesses that handle food.

[@jepperjep84]

@@stevegonzo2091 if those other catered parties routinely have influxes of people coming in and out their neighborhood, im sure it could be considered a disturbance of peace. and the city of hillsborough could cite them for that. BECAUSE IT'S ZONED FOR RESIDENCE

[@jepperjep84]

@@stevegonzo2091 also if it isnt a "commercial endeavor", why are they requiring payment and reservations repeatedly at this residential property?

[@harmonk8012]

What about a dinner party with friends? No restaurant here.

[@mastercabbage]

Yeah but who’s going to pay for it?

[@windy415]

Easy fix: set up Airbnb and offer home catering for the purchaser.

[@jepperjep84]

neighbors could then bring up a lawsuit against a airbnb. watch how fast airbnb would drop them.

[@MandyHo1]

They can have private parties, no?

[@jepperjep84]

yes. as long as there isnt a transaction. that would require a business license in a sanctioned zone. or what if your neighbors opened a "private party" and droves of strangers began entering and exiting from your neighborhood to disturb your peace and safety?

Amazing journalism

[@selanryn5849]

Where were they planning on everyone parking for these dinners?

[@jepperjep84]

why is this hard to understand? it is zoned for residential. why would nearby property owners want unknowns and strangers in their neighborhood and parking on their streets? does Fang even have a business license for catering? or is he just riding the coat tails of his grandmother's unique property?

[@Foodmeow]

Catering lol

[@wmtrader]

Hillsborough should buy the house using eminent domain, restore it to its original condition, declare it a historical building, and offer limited tours.

[@jepperjep84]

what would be eminent about it?
