The Bay Area restaurateur behind Chez TJ says he can’t retire, blames Mountain View.
George Aviet believed that after four decades of running his Michelin-starred restaurant Chez TJ he’d be able to retire comfortably, but these days retirement seems far out of reach due to the historic ties of his property. Aviet has been in limbo since 2017, as first reported by the Mountain View Voice, when the city of Mountain View halted his plan to develop Chez TJ’s property at 938 Villa St., which is the site of the 129-year-old Weilheimer House.
After the six months, properties listed in Mountain View’s historic registry remain on the list and cannot be removed for 10 years. While the Weilheimer House is not officially part of the city register, the spokesperson for the city of Mountain View told SFGATE that the site is still subject to city review. According to city ordinance 36.54.
