Proposal

The applicant proposes the partial demolition of the existing porte-cochere and associated site and ground-floor construction, along with the renovation of the porte-cochere and related site and ground-floor improvements at the Decoplage condominium. The redesigned porte-cochere introduces a contemporary canopy with enhanced lighting, new paving materials, TimberTech cladding, and a new storefront system. The application also seeks three 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.
