What was decided
The kennel license renewal for Harmony Dog Training LLC at 65 Patterson Avenue was denied on two grounds: the site is within 200 feet of a residential district, and the kennel operation was found to be a nuisance. Other licenses, including new restaurant licenses for Caliente Mexican Grill and Nevermore, were approved.
