The Asian Pearl joint and the Gingerbread place got permits. As long as you are a restaurant, it doesn't appear to be hard.

On Harrison the area is zoned commercial, so you can open a restaurant as a right. The liquor license is a small next step and really only requires that you don't set yourself up to serve drinks separate from food service.

Have you ever applied for a waiver of a moratorium? It requires you first fork over 1 grand to the City Planning Commission, then meet with council, neighbors, etc... A lot can go wrong. Add on attorney's fees, delays, etc... and it along with other reasons state above makes opening in certain areas of town not worth it.

PS that old Semolina's has been "something going in there for about 5 years." It has run up against moratorium issue time and time again.
