Commission approves storefront changes for 1006 E. Jackson (Tango's)
Summary
The commission approved a certificate of appropriateness to return the storefront at 1006 East Jackson Avenue toward its pre-2021 alignment; staff recommended approval, citing compatibility with design guidelines for a highly altered, non-contributing building.
Staff presented case 490 for 1006 East Jackson Avenue (known locally as Tango's/The Levy) and recommended approval of a storefront replacement that would sit flush with the building facade, similar to the pre-2021 condition.
"Staff finds that the proposed new storefront meets those guidelines and is recommending approval of the COA," the presenter said. The presenter noted the building dates to circa 1920 but is listed as non-contributing in the historic district because of extensive alterations; the design review emphasized using a contemporary treatment compatible with the streetscape rather than fabricating an historic appearance that never existed.
The applicant, identified in the record as "Mister Rogue," joined virtually and said he was "just excited about trying to get get this back, along the storefront" and that he owns the two other businesses in the building and wants a cohesive look. Commissioners then moved to approve the COA; the motion passed by voice vote recorded in the transcript.
