STAFF FINDINGS An amendment to the previously approved Kokopelli Grill Façade Grant Application (No. 16- 10) was submitted to the Planning Division on October 25, 2016. The property is addressed as 203 East Front Street and located in the Central Business District (CBD) zone. The grant application project is to remove and replace the existing Kokopelli Grill’s exterior awning to match the new awning that was approved and installed for the Coyote BBQ Pub and to paint the exterior details to also match. The amendment is requested due to an unanticipated increase in the project cost, specific to engineering design costs needed for the building permit review. The original grant amount for the property was $2,924.00. The amended grant amount is for $3650.64. The Community Facade and Sign Improvement Program provides grants of up to $10,000 for a façade improvement. STAFF ANALYSIS Staff reviewed the grant criteria for the Community Facade and Sign Improvement Program as included in the grant application materials: In evaluating proposals for funding under the Program, the following factors shall be considered: Kokopelli Grill Façade Grant Amendment No. 16-10 November 9, 2016 Page 2 Evaluation: After submitting a building permit for the replacement awnings, staff became aware that engineering would be required for installation. This cost is for the engineering and additional structure required beyond the initial request. See “Attachment A” for the original and newly proposed budget. • Private contribution over and above the required match; • Present condition of existing facade or sign; • The building' s overall public visibility, i.e., the building' s relationship to public parking, widely utilized civic spaces, or public parks; • Expected increase in assessed value of improvement; • Historical preservation; • Context in the block or neighborhood; • Priority will be given to projects that benefit partner projects on same block; RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends the Planning Commission approve the requested amendment of an additional $762.50 to the original grant award, for a total amount of $3,650.64 toward the cost of facade improvements.
