Previous ARC Recommendations:

10/22/24: 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 smaller building facing Henriette Delille could be taller in order to better step the massing down to a more residential scale and the materiality could have a similar language to the larger multi-family building.

•  In order to break up the massing of the larger building facing Esplanade the fourth floor could have an alternative material.

• A plinth or banding at the base of the larger building would give the material changes a more cohesion.

• The overall massing was well thought out.

• The HVAC units should sit further back on the rooftop.

• The retail corner at Henriette Delille and Esplanade may need a little more resolution as far as reading as commercial instead of residential.

• A security study should be completed in order ensure the public areas do not retroactively need security gates and equipment.
