Previous ARC Recommendations:
03/19/24: The ARC voted to defer this application for additional review. The ARC stated that the new building should further relate to the existing building at 843 Camp, as now they are more comparable within the context. The railing at the “penthouse” could be changed to a parapet and the balconies could be pulled in from the sides of the building to make the verticals more prominent. The overall height of the top floor should be reduced as much as possible, as it is currently taller than all the other floors. The ARC stated that the balconies should be simplified by removing the cross bracing, lightening up the steel columns, and going back to the previous glass handrails.
