The Board of Architectural Review met on July 6, 2026, at 7:00 PM in the City Council Chambers at Del Pepper Community Resource Center. All seven board members were present. The board approved the minutes of the June 17, 2026 meeting, and considered three application items, all of which were approved unanimously.
Any guys are this meeting is called to order. We're gonna proceed tonight with applications and other agenda items in the order that they're indicated on the docket. Limited copies of tonight's agenda in each staff report are available uh right over there in the corner on a first come first serve basis. If you are an applicant, please be sure to read the staff report for your case. For each application, we will proceed in the following order of business. The applicant or the applicant's representative may present the proposal or just be available for questions. It's up to you. The public will have an opportunity to speak on each application. Members of the public should fill out a speaker form and hand it over here to Miss Lane if you would like to speak on night. Uh if you're speaking for yourself, you have three minutes, and if you're speaking on behalf of the civic organization, you have five minutes. After public comment is complete, the applicant may respond to public comments, but it's not required to. Um there will then be board deliberation. The board may ask the applicants questions and just engage in a dialogue. After deliberation, the board can take one of several actions. The board can vote on a motion to issue, conditionally issue or deny a certificate of appropriation of appropriateness upon request by an applicant. If the board takes no action at the next regularly scheduled meeting, then the certificate of appropriateness is automatically issued. I will make a couple of comments on voting here. Votes uh motions pass by a simple majority vote. A tie vote results in no action being taken on the motion. And if the board votes to deny an application, a similar application will not be considered for a period of one year following the denial. The board occasionally takes up matters other than applications for certificate of appropriateness, and the public will have an opportunity to comment on those as well. Uh applicants are allowed to appeal any decision by the board to the city council. Applications have to be made within 14 days of the board's decision and in conform uh in conformance with the applicable zoning regulations. So with that said, Mr. Conte, let's get going. Okay. Uh good is yes. Uh consideration of the minutes from the June 17th BAR meeting. Does any member wish to suggest modifications or changes to the June 17th minutes?
