APPROVAL WITH CONDITIONS

Compliance Findings:

✓ Variance Conditions: Satisfied ✗ Certificate Of Appropriateness: Not Satisfied
Key Issues
  • The flooring design proposed to be introduced within the exterior porch is not consistent with the original exterior architectural design of the primary façade
  • Staff believes a more appropriate option for the exterior porch would be the introduction of a terrazzo floor pattern that is more consistent with Art Deco oceanfront hotels from this era
