Previous City Council Action:
• September 19, 2006, Historic Landmark HL06-02 was approved.
The application was submitted by the property owner, Fabien Goury.
REQUEST:
On December 2, 2022, Building Services issued residential alteration permit #22-000783
for Cottage #3 to permit interior and exterior renovations. The floor plan of the second
floor originally had three bedrooms, and the exterior east elevation included the removal
of a semi-enclosed balcony/staircase landing above the first-floor exterior door, resulting
in modifications to the historic roof line. However, during an inspection, Building Services
observed discrepancies between the issued permit, the actual floor plan and exterior
elevation. The applicant had reconfigured the interior space to have two bedrooms
instead of three, and fully enclosed an approximate 37 square-foot balcony/staircase
landing area as part of a bathroom expansion/reconfiguration.
The applicant is requesting approval for a 37-square-foot full-enclosure above the first-
floor front door to remain as constructed.
The following approval is required:
Section 43.E.3, Nonconforming Uses and Structures allows the Board of Zoning
Adjustment to approve the remodeling and/or enlargement of a nonconforming
use. The Board of Adjustment may approve the remodeling or enlargement of a
nonconforming use when such an enlargement would not tend to prolong the life of the
nonconforming use. Upon review of the facts, the Board of Adjustment may establish a
specific period of time for the return of the occupancy to a conforming use.
ATYPICAL CONDITION:
The second-floor balcony/landing area will be fully enclosed to preserve the historic
integrity and architectural character of the building while keeping the existing roofline.
This two-story building, originally used as separate first and second-floor units, has been
Agenda Item #12
BZA24-09.4 3
combined into a single unit. This change, along with the reconfiguration of the second
story, reduces the total number of units on the property and aligns better with historic
preservation best practices. The original structural and aesthetic features will be
maintained, consistent with the approved Certificate of Appropriateness CA23-28 for a
corrected roofline.
RECOMMENDATION:
The changes to Cottage #3's exterior are improvements in line with the structure’s historic
integrity. Staff recommends the Board of Zoning Adjustment approve an approximate 37
square foot second floor balcony/staircase landing area enclosure to Cottage #3 as
shown on the proposed floor plan and proposed east exterior elevation, consistent with
Certificate of Appropriateness CA23-28.
