| | | | | | | | ANALYSIS
| 426 Meridian, LLC (Applicant) is the owner of the Plaza Hotel, located at 418 Meridian Avenue, and is requesting a revocable permit for the recreation of the historic canopy on the east façade extending approximately eight feet over the sidewalk.
The City’s Historic Board Preservation Board (HPB) required the installation of the East Canopy as replication of the original canopy in accordance with available historic documentation, inclusive of location and dimensions, through HPB File No. 7392 approved on November 12, 2013.
The Applicant is proposing the reintroduction of the original canopy, measuring approximately 49 feet long and 8 feet wide with the clearance of approximately 12 feet above the sidewalk. The improvements being proposed by the Applicant will increase the value of the Property and in turn the neighborhood. Granting the revocable permit will not confer any special privilege upon the Applicants.
At its September 14, 2016 meeting, pursuant to Section 82-93(a) of the City Code, the City Commission approved the Resolution on First Reading, and schedule the public hearing to consider the request for a revocable permit and; additionally, in accordance with Section 82-93(b) of the City Code, to mail notice of the public hearing to owners of land lying within 375 feet of the existing permit area. At the public hearing, the revocable permit application will be reviewed pursuant to Section 82-94, of the City Code.
