Commission approves Fort Sanders façade revision and addition

Jul 17, 2025

The Historic Zoning Commission approved revisions to a previously issued COA for a commercial façade reconstruction and addition at 310 13th Street (Fort Sanders), finding the proposed demolition of a non-character-defining mid-20th-century side addition appropriate and the revised design compatible.

The full story

The commission voted to approve revisions to a December COA for exterior rehabilitation and a small addition at 310 13th Street in Fort Sanders. Staff reported that the existing one‑story cooler/addition (installed between 1950 and 1989) is in poor condition and not character-defining, so demolition and a new cooler/addition would not harm the historic resource. The revised porch and addition designs are differentiated in materials and are more minimal than the previous submission, and staff recommended approval as submitted.
