Title
Public Hearing: Application #PL2022-422 - Exterior Renovation Permit Appeal, 6 SW 2nd Street; Guy Gronberg Architects P.C, applicant.
Body
Issue/Request:
An exterior renovation permit was required for a façade renovation located at 6 SW 2nd St. The applicant proposed to remove the existing mansard roof on the south elevation and replace it with a flat vertical wall surface utilizing Hardie Board cementitious siding and wall panels.
The site design standards of Section 8.440 of the UDO require brick as the exterior building material for first and second floor elevations on street-facing facades. On non-street-facing facades, cementitious siding (such as "HardiePlank") is an approved material.
Upon review, the subject exterior renovation permit was denied because the proposed material for the exterior walls (Hardie board) does not meet the requirements of the UDO as the façade faces SW 2nd St.
The applicant has appealed staff’s denial of the subject exterior renovation permit.
