Minutes note: Ms. Carlen Hatala said this used to be the home of the Chancery restaurant and the building has been vacant 15-17 years. The proposed facade has brick and a storefront section is being renovated.

Mr. Jarosz moved to allow the brick as the architect/owner propose and work with staff to make the window/storefront system match as close as possible the tenant to the south, seconded by Mr. Garcia. | ADOPTED | Pass | 5:0 |
