The board's motion

STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends DENIAL for the new construction at 1021–1023 West 36th Street. While some of proposed materials and detailing meet the applicable Cuyler-Brownville Historic District Design Standards for new construction, the overall building scale and massing remain visually incompatible with the contributing context. The double-lot width creates a continuous facade that contrasts sharply with the established rhythm, proportion, and spacing of adjacent single-lot residences.
