PROCESS SUMMARY: Certain land use approvals granted by HPC
or P&Z require that Council be notified of the decision through a
brief staff summary. The notification is not a public hearing and
no applicant presentation or public comment has been accepted
in the past. During the Call Up Notice, City Council may uphold
the HPC or P&Z decision. Alternatively, Council may request
more detailed information be provided through a presentation by
staff and the applicant at a future meeting. After hearing the
additional project description, Council may uphold the boards’
decision or may remand it to require reconsideration of specific
issues at a new public hearing. HPC’s or P&Z’s decision on
remand shall be final.
BACKGROUND: On November 16, 2022, HPC granted Minor
Development and Commercial Design approval for construction
of a porch covering the outdoor dining at Jing restaurant. Jing is
housed in an addition to a historic landmark building in the
Commercial Core Historic District, therefore the work is subject
to review to ensure architectural compatibility with the district.
The approved design is pictured below.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The proposed project is to provide
a porch roof for shelter over an outdoor dining area in the
Commercial Core Historic District. The porch is attached to non-
historic construction. The staff recommendation was to reduce the
size of the porch so as not to cover the entire Public Amenity open
space serving Jing and the adjacent Mi Chola property. A redesign
was presented to the board and approval was unanimous, 5-0.
Staff recommends Council uphold HPC’s decision.
FINANCIAL IMPACTS: N/A

RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends Council uphold HPC’s decision.
