The Board of Architectural Review (BAR) held a public hearing on May 6, 2026, at 7:02 PM in the City Council Chambers at Del Pepper Community Resource Center. Chair Scott, Vice Chair Zandian, Ms. Miller, Ms. del Ninno, Ms. Robinson, and Mr. Spencer were present; Mr. Adams was absent. The board considered three agenda items: the consent calendar, unfinished business from a previous meeting, and new business. All items were approved, with one item approved with amendments.
This meeting is called to order. All right. We will proceed tonight with applications and other agenda items in the order in the order indicated on the docket. Limited copies of tonight's agenda and each staff report are available in the hall right outside. If you are an applicant, please make sure to review your application and the staff report before your case is called. For each applicant, we will proceed in the following order of business. The applicant or the applicant's representative may present the proposal or simply answer questions from the board. And the board encourages applicants to be thorough but concise. The public will have an opportunity to speak on each application. Members of the public will be invited in. If you do want to speak, you'll need to fill out a speaker form and bring them over here to Miss Novaez. Members of the public have three minutes to speak, and if you're representing an organization, you can speak for five minutes. After public comment is complete, the board will close the public portion of the hearing and deliberate. After deliberation, the the board can take one of several actions. The board can vote on a motion to issue, continually issue, or deny a certificate of appropriateness. The board can uh upon motion from an applicant uh defer taking action until the next meeting or a future meeting. The board can vote vote to continue the case to the next available hearing or proceed to the next docket item without taking action. If the board takes no action at the next regularly scheduled meeting, the certificate of appropriateness is automatically issued. And that's because the municipal code requires the board to take action within 45 days of the uh applicant being complete and and ready to review. So just a few comments on voting. Motions will pass by a simple majority vote. If there is a tie that results in no action, that's the same thing as not being approved. Um actually no, it just means no action. It's as though the board has taken no action. And if the board vote board votes to deny an application, a similar application won't be considered for a period of one year following the denial, and that is also in the municipal code. The board occasionally takes up matters other than applications for a certificate of appropriateness. We'll take a few of those matters up today. Um the public will have an opportunity to speak. So with all that said, um the first item on tonight's docket is the minutes from the last meeting, Mr. Conke. I don't know if you need to read those in. Nope, just uh take a vote on the minutes. Okay. Um does anyone have any proposed modifications or changes to the April 22nd BAR meeting minutes? No, do any members of the public wish to make comments on the posted minutes? No. All right. Well, then we'll take a motion on the minutes. So moved. Do we have a second? Second. All those who vote in favor of adopting the minutes from the April 22nd meeting say aye. Aye. Aye. Any opposed? The minutes are adopted. Okay, onto the consent calendar. Yes, sir. We have one item on the consent calendar of this evening. Excuse me.
