Summary

The board approved design-review changes to convert a rear building at 1439 Alton Road into a bar with an outdoor courtyard and up to 20 exterior seats; operational and distance-separation variance matters will be considered by the Board of Adjustment.

The Design Review Board approved design-review modifications for a proposed bar and courtyard at 1439 Alton Road on a 4-0 vote, while a related variance on distance-separation and operational conditions was removed from the DRB packet and will be handled by the Board of Adjustment.

City staff told the board the application proposes conversion of a rear building into a bar with a redesigned courtyard at the rear of the property. Because the ordinance assigns jurisdiction for distance-separation variances to the Board of Adjustment, staff removed the variance from the DRB application; staff recommended the design elements and landscape changes and asked that operational conditions tied to the variance be transferred to BOA review.
