AGENDA ITEM #3: CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS Dave Doran of SICOG has submitted an application for a certificate of appropriateness for new metal awnings at 214 E. Center Street, the City Building.

They will use the same anchors with the same white material.

Nielson to approve the request from SICOG to replace the current aluminum awning with new metal awnings spanning only over the windows, finding the application meets the criteria for review under Chapter 17.04.210.I of Pocatello City Code as well as the Design Guidelines for Pocatello’s Downtown Historic District, after samples of the materials have been submitted to staff for review and then approved, prior to installation, and to authorize the Chair to sign the Certificate of Appropriateness.
