Planning commission approves Trail Head Tavern exterior changes, windows and sign at 315 Broad Street
Summary
Nevada City Planning Commission approved exterior paint, window replacements (Anderson composite and aluminum-clad units), a new upstairs residential entry, and a 24-square-foot sign for Trail Head Tavern at 315 Broad Street, with staff finding the project exempt from SQA.
The commission approved an architectural-review application and historical-district sign permit for a new bar, Trail Head Tavern, at 315 Broad Street.
City planner Jessica Hen summarized the project: exterior paint drawn from the Benjamin Moore historical collection, replacement of five visible vinyl windows with Anderson 100-series composite windows and other visible windows with Anderson E-series aluminum-clad wood units, replacement of some exterior doors and a new separate upstairs residential entry, and a sign meeting the 24-square-foot standard. Staff recommended the commission find the project exempt from SQA and approve the exterior modifications and sign permit, subject to the conditions in the staff report.
The applicant (identified in the staff presentation as Miss Reber) and contractor Brendan answered technical questions about window materials and fire/quality characteristics; Brendan described the composite windows as stronger than vinyl with tempered exterior glazing and commonly used in local projects. Commissioners asked about phasing and permit timelines; staff noted historical-district permits are generally required to be utilized within one year.
After brief discussion, Commissioner Michelle moved to approve the architectural-review application and sign permit for 315 Broad Street with the staff-recommended conditions; the motion was seconded and passed on a roll call recorded in the transcript as several 'yes' votes. The approval allows the applicant to proceed with the exterior work and sign under the conditions listed by staff.
