I read the HDRC recommendation earlier today and it said denied; guess they changed the wording to say that they just don't suggest the changes:
Quote:
RECOMMENDATION:
The Municipal Auditorium is a local landmark and listed on the National Register of Historic Places. As a result,
the proposed partial demolition of the building would constitute a significant change that will adversely impact the
integrity of the historic structure itself. The proposal will impact every elevation and view of the structure. From
many angles the building will not continue to read as the historic Municipal Auditorium because of the change in the
scale, roof form and materials. While some alterations will be necessary to accommodate the program, every
effort should be made to be respectful of the historic building and its scale, material and setting.
