APPEAL TO PLANNING COMMISSION HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DENIAL OF A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS REVIEW SHEET PLANNING COMMISSION: HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION: March 22, 2021, postponed April 26, 2021, postponed May 24, 2021, feedback provided July 26, 2021, denied August 24, 2021 CASE NUMBER: HR-2021-085739 HISTORIC NAME: Mitchell-Robertson Building (C14H-2004-0008) DISTRICT: 9 ADDRESS: 909 Congress Avenue ZONING: CBD-H APPELLANT: Drenner Group, P.C. (Leah Bojo) AGENT: Drenner Group, P.C. (Leah Bojo) PROPERTY OWNER: H. Dalton Wallace PROJECT BACKGROUND: The applicant proposes to carefully deconstruct, store, and reconstruct the building façades at 907, 909, and 911 Congress Ave. as part of a redevelopment project at a later date. The Grandberry Building (907 Congress Ave.) and Mitchell- Robertson Building (909 Congress Ave.) are historic landmarks and require a certificate of appropriateness for this work, which the Historic Landmark Commission (HLC) has granted for 907 but not 909 Congress Ave. The building at 911 Congress Ave. is part of the Congress Avenue National Register historic district but has been too altered to be eligible for landmark designation. Per the applicant, stabilization and repair of the building façades in place is not technically feasible due to the extent of their deterioration, including mortar loss, shear failures and racking, and the infeasibility of shoring the façades during construction of a new tower behind them. The project will ultimately result in accurate reconstruction of the three façades to match their historic appearance, reusing historic materials to the greatest extent possible and accurately replicating missing or damaged elements. APPEAL REQUEST: The applicant has filed an appeal of the HLC’s July 26, 2021 denial of a certificate of appropriateness to deconstruct, store, and reconstruct the façade of 909 Congress Ave. and requests approval of this project. The appeals process for certificates of appropriateness is described in Land Development Code §25-11-247. The HLC’s decision may be appealed to the land use commission, and the land use commission’s decision may in turn may be appealed to City Council. BUILDING AND STANDARDS COMMISSION ACTION: March 24, 2021: The Building and Standards Commission issued orders for 907, 909, and 911 Congress Ave. requiring that conditions be remedied within 90 days or imposing fines on the property owner. That timeline expired on June 22, 2021. The orders require repairs to fully remedy violations, which include cracks and openings in exterior walls, roof and drainage issues, and missing windows, among other concerns. HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION ACTION: March …
