PUBLIC HEARING
1. Application MOD11-0011 18870 Allendale Avenue (397-01-014) BCA Architects / Saint Archangel
Michael Serbian Orthodox Church - The applicant requests Planning Commission approval for
modifications to a previously approved Design Review application for a new church building for the Saint
Archangel Michael Serbian Orthodox Church. The requested project changes would include the use of
cream colored limestone tiles for the exterior of the building instead of cream colored travertine tiles. The
limestone would originate from Montenegro and would be donated by a member of the church. The
limestone tiles would be installed in a “running” pattern indicative of how bricks are placed on a wall
instead of the approved “stacked” or horizontal tile orientation. Other changes would include replacing the
blue tinted window glass with clear glass, replacing the red colored slate roof with brown colored slate, and
minor reductions in the width of the windows on the upper dome. The site is located in the R-1-40,000
zone district. (Chris Riordan) (Approved, 6:0)
