PDR-197, Larry McColm Application for design review approval to construct an approximately 6,000-square-foot, second-floor addition to the existing commercial building located at 350 Main Street. Zoning for the property is Central Commercial (C-C), Downtown Revitalization, Core Area Overlay District. --- Heidi Kline presented the staff report, providing an overview of the application and the history of the approval for the second-floor. She noted that there are several changes from the previously- approved design because of the revisions to the Uniform Building Code. She advised that because Fire Code requirements do not allow the previously planned balconies on the south elevation, the square footage of the second floor has increased slightly. She noted that Mr. McColm has agreed to incorporate as many of the Green Building measures as possible. In response to an inquiry from Chairperson Maas, Ms. Kline advised that the Fire Code changes would not allow the opening to the previously-proposed balconies, and, therefore, the balconies were eliminated and replaced with enclosed floor area space. She noted that faux windows will be installed on the south elevation. Commissioner Roberts stated that she has a problem with the fake windows on the south elevation and would like to see something more definitive than just the drawing. Discussion ensued regarding the use of faux windows and the distance of the building from the property line. Commissioner Roberts questioned whether it would be possible to use trellises rather than faux windows. Commissioner Roberts requested information regarding potential parking lots that are proposed within one block of the building. Ms. Kline referred to the Public Parking Lots figure included in the staff report, noting that the area of benefit is shown on this exhibit.
