Request for Aesthetic Review - 900 S. Palafox St. - Plaza de Luna Repairs
end
BACKGROUND:
Plaza de Luna is located at 900 S. Palafox Street within the Waterfront Redevelopment District - WRD. This site experienced major damage from Hurricane Sally in September 2020. The damage to the park features included sidewalks, handrails, lighting, splash pad equipment and other minor features. The proposed improvements will replace the damaged features with the same or similar material.
The City proposes to relocate the underground splash pad equipment to a new pump house building located adjacent to the DeLuna Café for better protection from future storms. The pump building will be approximately 11’ X 17’ and shall have similar brick as the adjacent café.
This request has been routed through the various City departments and utility providers. Those comments are attached for your review.
