Summary

The CRA approved a façade grant for 647 South Commerce Avenue but pulled the application from the consent agenda for discussion because proposed paint colors were slightly off the downtown historic palette. The board approved the application after discussion about continuity and standards.

The CRA approved a façade grant application for 647 South Commerce Avenue after removing the item from the consent agenda for brief discussion about paint‑color continuity in the downtown historic district. Staff said the application’s proposed color was "a shade off" the standard palette used in the district, and the item was moved to new business to give the board an opportunity to address that concern.

A board member moved and another seconded approval of the façade grant for 647 South Commerce Avenue; after brief discussion emphasizing continuity of color standards, the motion passed. Staff noted the removal of two other consent‑agenda applications (items b and d) because those applications were incomplete and that another consent item (f) had been moved to new business for consideration.
