Previous ARC & Staff Recommendations: 

04/22/25: The ARC voted to recommend conceptual approval with the final details to be worked out at the Staff level. The ARC also agreed that:

• • The existing low stepped parapet wall fronting Chartres Street can be increased in height to further reduce the visibility of the metal guardrail behind.

    • • The existing stepped appearance should be maintained as this will also help to mitigate the connection to the existing building.

      • The applicant could also consider a modified guardrail design that is 36” tall vertically, with an additional handrail projecting inward to reach the desired 42” total height.

• The proposed new covered roof should be lowered on the building wall so that it is tucked below the existing exposed roof rafter tails and not attached directly to them.

• Staff Recommendation: Approval
