Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect on the character and appearance of the area
  • whether sufficient parking would be provided

What decided it

The proposal would harm the character and appearance of the area through poor fenestration design and potential loss of a softening tree, and would fail to provide adequate parking in compliance with adopted standards, creating highway safety risks.
