Board approves architectural review for 1502 Beck with Option A (more gray)

The board approved the downtown overlay architectural review for 1502 Beck Avenue, endorsing Option A — the color scheme that coordinates with the existing building and integrates more gray wainscoting. Staff (S6) explained the applicant preferred to match the neighboring building’s palette and presented two options; several members said the more muted gray option fit the neighborhood better.

Committee member S9 moved to approve the architectural review as proposed with Option A, which the board approved by voice vote. Members noted that if specific color directions were required they would provide them, but otherwise the applicant may proceed with the chosen palette. The approval follows the site-plan vote earlier in the meeting.
