The restaurant conversion will include front façade modifications. The future hotel conversion will consist of interior work only. The proposed façade modifications require design alteration review by Plan Commission. The applicant plans to remove the existing metal panel and aggregate panel exterior to showcase the original brick exterior and add storefront windows back into the spaces where windows were located previously. The front entrance will also be modified for ADA accessibility. According to the applicant, these changes are intended to increase accessibility and improve the front elevation of the proposed restaurant. Page 2 ITEM I: Alteration Review 216 State St. Page 3 ITEM I: Alteration Review 216 State St. Existing façade Staff is supportive of the proposed façade updates as the exposure of the original brick and added window areas will serve to enhance the appearance of the facade. It will result in the exterior consisting of 100% Class I materials, which is an improvement from the existing façade which consists primarily of Class III materials (metal panels). The façade enhancements will be complementary to the center city area. FINDINGS/RECOMMENDATION/CONDITIONS Staff recommends approval of a Design Alteration Review for building façade modifications as proposed.
