Previous ARC Recommendations:
12/19/23: The ARC voted to defer your application for additional review. The ARC agreed that:
The massing of the proposed hotel and mixed-use building is not appropriate for the historic district.
The overall size of the building is much larger than the surrounding residential context. Size and massing should be improved by pushing and/or pulling the buildings where they interact with smaller existing residential buildings.
The mixed-use building reads as too horizonal, and the massing should be broken up with vertical elements and/or different roof forms.
The large storefront spaces at the ground floor are out of step with the historic district. Reconfigure these commercial units without creating large expanses of storefront systems.
Fenestration and openings should be more proportional to the surrounding wall area. Glazing should be increased to align with the size of the building.
Exterior stairways should be incorporated at the interior program of the building.
The dumpster enclosure should be moved away from the sidewalk and street.
Eye-level perspective renderings should be provided for the next meeting.
