Commission approves downtown façade renovations at 611–621 Greensboro Avenue
Summary
The commission approved exterior renovations to two downtown buildings on Greensboro Avenue that add three ground-floor commercial units and six residential lofts, including sidewalk revisions and a concealed dumpster roll-up door; the architectural review committee recommended approval.
The Planning & Zoning Commission on Feb. 16 approved SDO1-26, exterior renovations for two buildings at 611–621 Greensboro Avenue in the downtown special district. The proposal adds three ground-floor commercial units with mezzanines and six residential lofts on the second level, plus metal balconies and a roll-up service door intended to screen dumpster storage when not in use.
Architect Scott Burnett said the project will modify the sidewalk and add a valley gutter where the roll-up dumpster door will allow garbage trucks to access the enclosure, and that the rear service area will be repaved as part of the work. He estimated the project would accommodate two standard 7-yard dumpsters and that the architectural review committee found the proposal met downtown development standards.
There was no public opposition on record for this item. The commission voted to recommend approval; the project will proceed through required building and administrative reviews.
