This file relates to modifications to a portion of the multi-tenant building façade by increasing glazing at the primary entrance of the subject tenant space at 1010 West Layton Avenue, located within the Bouraxis-Layton (or 938 W. Layton) DIZ Overlay. A coffee shop will occupy 2,932 square feet within the building. This is an allowable use per the DIZ overlay. No site changes are proposed as part of this new occupancy. Some exterior alterations to the Layton Avenue (south) façade within this tenant space are proposed, and are subject
to the DIZ overlay design standards.
Staff recommended approval and said Ald. Scott Spiker was in support of the file.
Mr. Jassar and Mr. Ayesh presented. The project was for a Middle Eastern coffee shop franchise from Illinois. Improvements would include new awnings, glass, and interior alterations.
There was discussion on interior load bearing walls, coffee shop offerings, there being no exterior seating, and the hours of operation likely being 8 a.m. to 12 a.m.
Commissioner Gonzalez moved approval, seconded by vice-chair Nemec. (Prevailed 7-0)
