Proposal

The applicant is requesting approval for the installation of a glass partition wall within the original hotel lobby space. The wall separates the hotel check-in operations from a restaurant tenant which occupies the remainder of the lobby. This is essentially a re-approval of a project previously approved in 2020 but for which a building permit was never obtained.

From the Letter of Intent

Remove an existing non-historic aluminum storefront door separating the hotel lobby and restaurant and replace it with a more historically appropriate frameless glass door with side lights. The door will be a swing door to allow simultaneous operation of the hotel and restaurant.

  • Remove existing non-historic aluminum storefront door
  • Install frameless glass door with side lights
  • Install swing door mechanism
