Recommendation
No objection to the concept for 14 green-and-white striped replacement fabric awnings and a retractable awning at the courtyard of an existing hotel, as shown in materials received and dated 5 July 2024 and supplemental materials received and dated 10 and 12 July 2024, PROVIDED that the awnings be installed without signage. Fourteen new fabric awnings previously proposed at the Maine and Maryland Avenue building facades have been removed from the scope of work. Recommend that the existing balcony and Juliet balcony railings throughout the building facades not be painted black as proposed due to the lack of congruency with the overall facade color palette and the alteration of the visual proportions of the entrance facade. Note: This is a concept approval only. When ready, submit the permit drawings and a permit application to DOB for review by the Commission.
