1000-1006 Canal St.

Description: Changes to the previously approved new storefront at Roosevelt Way elevation of a Contributing rated, two-story, commercial building due to Classic Sign designation. 

Previous ARC Recommendations:

11/19/24: The ARC recommended conceptual approval with the details to be worked out at the staff level.  This approval is contingent on City Planning approving changes to the designated classic sign.  The ARC stated that the new wood storefront having all operable doors was out of context for Canal St and recommended that only the paired doors in the center of the storefronts are operable, with fixed sidelites.   

10/22/24: The ARC voted to defer this application for additional review.  The ARC requested elevations of the existing building as well as sections through the proposed awnings.  The ARC recommended that the applicant explore grants with the Downtown Development District for the renovation of the full façade, as a wholistic renovation would likely be more successful.  The “The Half Shell/ Picadilly Lounge” signs are on the City Zoning Ordinance list of Classic Signs and will need to meet all CZO requirements.  The signs will not be able to be modified to accommodate signage for a contemporary business and will be required to be maintained as originally designed. If the signs are required to be maintained by the CZO, the ARC stated that the transom windows may need to be redesigned, as the way they meet the signage is a bit odd.  Other recommendations included verifying that the door leaves meet egress code, and the fire stair/HVAC access should be moved and brought up to code.
