Proposal

The applicant is requesting a Certificate of Appropriateness for the partial demolition of the existing porte-cochere and associated site and ground floor construction, and for the renovation of the porte-cochere together with associated site and ground floor improvements. The project includes variances from the maximum encroachment into the right-of-way, the maximum frontage allowed along a primary elevation, and the maximum height permitted for a porte-cochere.

From the Letter of Intent

  • Install contemporary canopy with clean, linear forms
  • Integrate modern materials and lighting
  • Install durable, corrosion-resistant finishes
  • Update LED lighting for improved nighttime visibility
