An unidentified representative for Market Street Creators told the panel the project will provide roughly 20,000 square feet of indoor space and has about 90 businesses signed up for the first phase. The project team said the facility includes a maker space of roughly \"3,000–7,000\" square feet to allow entrepreneurs to produce goods they can sell on site.

Panel members reviewed the size, scale and placement of multiple signs and window graphics across a long façade. The applicant supplied a sample of a three‑dimensional layered sign constructed of aluminum composite and PVC; panel members discussed sight lines for drivers on Longstreet and the need for a larger sign element to make the venue visible when approaching the property. \"We're the Market Street Creators ... we've got about 90 businesses signed up that are gonna be inside starting their businesses here in Torrington,\" the representative said.

Reviewers said the building's industrial scale justifies a larger sign area at that location. The applicant and a staff member (referred to as Nate during the review) confirmed that existing window graphics had been installed with the building and that the signage review was being considered separately from an earlier use‑change and exterior work permit submitted in the fall and winter. Panel members also raised address visibility for emergency response and discussed how signage changes would interact with an existing zoning permit for exterior work.

The panel recorded a motion to approve the signage and window graphic package for the site; a member identified as Austin voiced approval during the vote and the motion carried. The applicant and staff were told that future graphic changes that retain the same size and placement would not require another full architectural review but would be subject to the sign‑permit process.

The project team said they will pursue final permit modifications and coordinate with public safety and planning staff to ensure address visibility and wayfinding from public roads. The applicant said the property mailing is 100 Lawton and that they are petitioning map/GIS providers to correct directional guidance for visitors.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","May 8, 2025 | Architectural Review Committee","oneSentenceSummary","The panel approved a large signage package and related window graphics for Market Street Creators, an indoor vendor market and maker space at 100 Lawton in Torrington.

The applicant, represented in the hearing by Elizabeth Carlos and owner Chamo Vega of Vega Bakery, said the project will renovate the corner storefront formerly used as a performance space and feature a modern appearance, a prominent red upper facade and a 35‑square‑foot sign on the building.

The approval came after panel members discussed compatibility with the existing building materials, sign scale and lighting. \"It'll be modern, something nice, and, it'll be a Latin cuisine,\" Chamo Vega said during the presentation. Panel members said the proposed colors and sign treatment were visually compatible with the building and the surrounding block while remaining noticeable from the street.

Panel members noted the sign size — the applicant said the design is \"about 35 square feet\" — approaches the local threshold that can trigger additional site‑plan review (the panel referenced a trigger near 32 square feet). The panel discussed how the proposal would not change windows or building materials, that existing exterior lighting will be used to illuminate the sign, and that the building entrance and address will remain on the Main Street frontage.

The applicant confirmed proposed operating hours to the panel: breakfast service beginning about 7 a.m. and weekday hours typically 7 a.m. to 8 p.m., with Friday and Saturday service later into the evening. The applicant also described plans for interior visual elements (a logo and interior lighting) and a small serving robot to circulate inside the dining area.

After questions about visibility, placement of an address number for emergency responders, and confirmation that the signage would not change structural openings, a member moved to approve the sign and facade package. The motion carried; a second was recorded as Austin and the panel voted in favor.

The approval clears the project to proceed with building‑permit and health‑department steps the applicant said they will pursue next. The applicant indicated they will coordinate with other city departments and finalize permit submittals before beginning construction work.","An Architectural Review hearing in Torrington approved exterior painting and signage for a new Latin‑cuisine restaurant called \"Vegas\" that will occupy the corner storefront formerly used as a performance hub. The panel approved the applicant's proposed 35-square-foot sign and lighting; hours and address placement were clarified during review.","actionData","errors"]
