1216 Bienville St.

Description: Renovation of a Landmark, two-story, mixed-use building including changes from previously approved expired renovation.

Previous ARC & Commission Motions:

08/15/23: The ARC recommended conceptual approval with the details to be worked out at the staff level.  The ARC reiterated the recommendation from the previous meeting that the material on the underside of the balcony should match the existing material on the soffit of the second-floor overhang.  The ARC also stated that there should be a recess just deep enough that it creates a shadow line, where previously existing windows were located on the first-floor of the building.  Faux-shuttered openings with casings would also be an appropriate way to show the location of the previously existing openings. The ARC recommended using wood handrails and replacing the metal gallery columns with wood posts, based on the historic photo.

08/05/20: The Commission voted  to grant conceptual approval with final details to be worked out at the Staff level.

07/21/20: The ARC noted that the material on the underside of the balcony should match the existing material on the soffit of the second-floor overhang. The ARC voted to recommend that the Commission grant conceptual approval with the final details to be worked out at the staff level.
