Title
750 W. Streetsboro St
Commercial Addition (Vestibule entrance and second story addition)
Submitted by Julie Ziga, Sol Harris Day Architecture
a) Staff notes the proposed vestibule entrance expansion and second floor addition would support the church’s existing children’s ministry program.
b) Staff notes the proposed additions would utilize compatible materials.
c) The existing building is identified as a “large mass type” per Section IV-5 of the Architectural Design Standards. “Large mass types” are described as follows: “This type has a complex massing with several large masses attached to each other. It does not have a dominant (forward) main body, but may have one or more central masses to which other masses are attached. Most of the building is two stories tall. It may have more than one entrance, and several subordinate wings or projections.”
d) Section IV-5(h)(4) states “Wings may also be extended or made two-story. In this case, the original wing and its extension shall be considered one wing and shall be reviewed as such under these Standards.”
e) Section Iv-5 states “Wings may occur on any of the masses and be the same size or smaller in height than the central masses.” Staff notes the proposed second story addition would be smaller in height than the central masses; however, would be taller than the adjacent masses.
f) Question if the proposed aluminum storefront vestibule entrance is compatible with the existing building.
g) Question if the proposed stone panels would be inset to match existing.
