Previous ARC Recommendations:
07/22/25: The ARC voted to defer your application for additional review. The ARC agreed that:
The massing isn't consistent with the overall Lower Garden District context.
A widened scale analysis for scale of the surrounding area should be completed prior to the next ARC meeting.
A five-story building next to an existing two-story is incongruent.
The detailing on the primary has dimension but the depth needs to be emphasized more.
Adding more glass for transparency is not the solution to reduce the massing.
Solutions for massing reduction could be a penthouse condition coupled with an “eroding corner” design.
If the massing can’t be reduced to better align with the context then possibly the program may need to be reduced.
