Venice HAPB to review LDR color rules and update palette after confusion at hearing
Summary
Board members flagged confusing language in the Land Development Regulations' color provisions after the 417 Nassau hearing and supported a staff plan to bring a design professional to update the city's color palette and clarify code language.
After the color-design alternative hearing the Historic Architectural and Preservation Board flagged ambiguity in Chapter 87—olor provisions and directed staff to pursue clarifying updates. Chair and board members described the current requirement (75% primary, 20% secondary, 5% accent) as sometimes unclear in practice and asked for a professional review of the palette and LDR text so applicants and reviewers have consistent expectations.
Board members and staff also discussed the city—each Pavilion local-register listing and potential grant opportunities to fund rehabilitation work such as roof replacement. Historical Resources Manager Harry Klinkhammer confirmed survey work is on schedule and that the Edgewood and Seward survey results are expected at the June meeting; staff said the state grant application process for larger preservation grants had not yet opened.
