1. Consideration of an Appeal of a Decision of the Historic Preservation Commission to
Deny a Certificate of Appropriateness for the Third Condominium Building in the
McKinley Road Multi-Family Planned Development. (Action by Motion)
PRESENTED BY: Catherine Czerniak,
Director of Community Development (810-3504)
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: Consideration of an appeal filed by 361 Westminster LLC
(Todd Altounian 50%, Peter Witmer 50%), the petitioner for the third and final phase of the McKinley
Road Planned Development.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
Redevelopment of the area east of McKinley Road, between Deerpath and Westminster,
adjacent to the Central Business District, has been a topic of discussion for many years. The
transition of this area which is located between the railroad tracks and the Central Business
District to the west, and single family residences, churches and the Library to the east and
south, began in the late 1990’s with the construction of the 333 E. Westminster condominium
building. Historically, this area has been zoned for office and multi-family development as a
buffer between the business district to the west and residential neighborhood to the east.
The first two phases of the McKinley Road Planned Development are complete. On April 5,
2021, the City Council approved the zoning entitlements for the third and final phase of the
development and directed review of the design aspects to the Historic Preservation
Commission.
The Historic Preservation Commission first reviewed the phase three building in January, 2020.
The building presented at that time was a three story structure. The Commission continued
consideration at the January meeting with direction to the petitioner for modifications. In
February, 2020, the Commission reviewed modified plans and, at the conclusion of the
meeting, voted to deny a Certificate of Appropriateness expressing particular concern about
the height of the building. The petitioner filed an appeal of the February, 2020 decision of the
Commission however, choose not to pursue the appeal stating the intention to consider
further modifications to the plans in response to the concerns raised by the Commission and
members of the public.
The Historic Preservation Commission considered revised plans for the phase three building on
June 3, 2021, after the City Council granted approval of the zoning entitlements for the
development. A two story building, with an expanded footprint at the north end of the
building, was presented. At the conclusion of the June meeting, the Commission provided
direction to the petitioner on aspects of the building that should be further studied and
refined and on the standards that should be specifically addressed through the refinements.
On July 12, 2021, the Commission reviewed revised plans and the petitioner spoke to the
modifications made in direct response to the Commission’s direction at the end of the June
meeting. After deliberation and public testimony, the Commission voted 6 to 1 to deny a
Certificate of Appropriateness for the building as presented.

Preservation Commission’s decision to deny a Certificate of Appropriateness for the third

packet beginning on page 13. The appeal was filed in accordance with the applicable
requirements and is now before the Council for consideration. In considering an appeal, the
Council is to consider the same standards as those considered by the Commission and is also
