BACKGROUND:
DAG Architects, Inc. is seeking final review for a new commercial building on the corner of Garden and Alcaniz Streets. This project received conceptual approval in April 2022 and elevations from that packet have been provided.
The proposed building is in the brick structures sub-district and has been designed as a streetscape type 3 building. As such, the height is restricted by the adjacent building to the west. The drawings show a three-story office and laboratory building for IHMC which is meant to complement the nearby Levin Center, the two-story IHMC building to the west, and the one-story bank to the south. Façade materials are primarily brick with aluminum windows, and a large steel-framed canopy projects at the rear. This packet includes building elevations, renderings, and a site plan, as well as materials which have also been called out in the drawings.
Please find attached all relevant documentation for your review.
