Board signs off on exterior facelift for Sunset Plastic Surgery at Sunset Drive
Summary
Design Review Board approved exterior renovations for 6161 SW 72nd St (Sunset Plastic Surgery), including painted brick, new standing‑seam mansard roof elements, impact windows and refreshed entrances; the board asked the applicant to finalize runoff handling and signage under separate permit.
The board approved DRB‑2025‑015, an exterior renovation package for 6161 Southwest 72nd Street that will consolidate three former medical tenant storefronts into a single tenant for "Sunset Plastic Surgery on Sunset." Staff described the work as primarily exterior — painting existing brick (Benjamin Moore White Dove OC‑47), replacing shutters, adding a standing‑seam metal mansard and new storefront doors — and said it will not change the building’s use or parking demand.
Architect Hamed Rodriguez (speaker 6) said the proposal streamlines the facades, repairs brick and adds a modest mansard and new entries to emphasize access from the parking lot. Board members asked how roof runoff would be handled; the architect said the flat roof is collected and piped into the city's rainwater system and that the mansard elements discharge into existing planters. Members also raised the visibility of a long blank wall facing the neighbor, protection of oak trees along the lot line (which are on the neighbor’s property), and signage; the architect said signage will come through a separate permit and the applicant envisions small, tastefully scaled signs and wall‑wash lighting.
A motion to approve with staff comments passed with the members present voting yes. The board recorded its expectation that the applicant detail any runoff protection and confirm plans for signage during the separate signage‑permit process.
