Case #496 — Storefront modification at 307 South Lamar Boulevard
Description
The Cicada building's owner wants a traditional-style storefront makeover: new wood detailing, decorative trim, a recessed entrance, a smaller awning, and a new cornice. Staff recommended approval, with a caveat to check for historic material under the old awning.
Impact summary
The building will look more in keeping with the historic Square, though it remains a noncontributing structure. Signage shown in the drawings exceeded what code allows, so medallions will be plain rather than lettered.
