Agency approves Root Salon & Spa grant amendment for 221 and 223 West Central Ave
Summary
The agency approved a staff-recommended amendment letting Root Salon & Spa reallocate its 2023 façade grant (originally $25,000 per building) to replace windows, doors and frames after some original architectural work proved infeasible.
Christy Gilbert, Community Development, told the body that Root Salon & Spa — the tenants/owners at 221 and 223 West Central Avenue — originally "received approval for $25,000 for each building, so a total of $50,000 grant funds" in 2023 but cannot complete some elements of the original architectural plan because structural changes (for example, removing a support beam) are not feasible.
Gilbert said the applicant is requesting to amend the grant to allow the funds to be applied to replace windows, doors and door frames rather than the previously proposed brick and structural alterations. She also told the body that the project is in the reimbursement phase and that staff will not execute reimbursement until the applicant submits full documentation of expenses.
A member moved to approve the application amendment and a second was recorded. The transcript records a roll-call sequence of affirmative responses and the motion was approved. The record indicates the applicant previously participated in downtown sidewalk and streetscape improvements and that staff reviewed the amendment with the task force before bringing it to the body.
