Board continues 1826 Collins demolition request; members ask about historic parking concessions
Summary
The Historic Preservation Board continued the total‑demolition application for 1826 Collins Avenue to July 8 and asked staff to research whether the property’s robotic garage was originally required to satisfy parking for nearby hotel development and whether there is a common wall with adjacent 1800 Collins.
The Historic Preservation Board on June 17 continued the demolition application for 1826 Collins Avenue to July 8 and asked staff to return with additional background on the site’s parking history and property lines.
Board member Ray asked whether the property’s robotic parking garage had been constructed to satisfy parking obligations for the Shelbourne Hotel and what removal of the garage would mean for parking impact fees. Staff said that, to their knowledge, the Shelbourne does not currently have a parking requirement and that the robotic garage never functioned; staff said it would investigate the site’s permitting history and any past parking requirements.
Staff also agreed to report back on whether the wall between 1826 Collins and 1800 is a common wall and to provide additional historical documentation at the July hearing. There were no public commenters on the item at the June meeting and the application will be set for formal consideration when the full board is present.
