Historic Architectural Review Board Meeting · 2026-04-16 · agenda_packet
The Historic Architectural Review Board (HARB) met on April 16, 2026. The agenda included several items, with a focus on demolition and Certificate of Appropriateness applications. One notable item was the expedited hearing for HP2026-0024 at 51 Florida Avenue, seeking to demolish a residential building constructed around 1959. This demolition was previously approved under an expired permit. The staff recommended approval for demolition, noting the building is not a local landmark and is not located in a historic district, with the condition that plans for the replacement structure be submitted for permitting prior to the demolition permit issuance. Another item, HP2026-0011 at 130 St. George Street, was continued to May 21, 2026, to allow the applicant to modify the proposed storefront system and provide clearer drawings for the handicap access ramp. Other applications involved new storefronts, ADA bathrooms, paver driveways, ADA lifts, partial demolitions, and streetscape design changes.
