Palafox Historic Business District / Zone C-2A
Generator, Screening, and Hardscape at a Contributing Structure

BACKGROUND:
recommendation
BDG Architects is seeking approval to build a generator enclosure and to modify the hardscape at a contributing structure. The enclosure will be 28’-2” x 8”-1” to meet the manufacturer setbacks and will be made of brick and metal screening. Work will also include changes to the hardscape including the addition of an ADA ramp, handrails, and the addition of concrete bollards. An earlier version of this application was denied by the Board in June 2021 with encouragement to resubmit with the structure relocated further down the wall to minimize impact on the neighboring residential structure and ADA access closest to the building.
Please find attached all relevant documentation for your review.
