- B.La Tapatia Façade Change
- Location: 94 East Belmont Avenue Applicant: Armen Devejian, AIA of Associated Design and Engineering, Inc. Building Permit application B22-12143 is for the construction of a new metal building to replace the previous building, which has been demolished due to fire. Because this is a fire burn-down, a Development Permit is not required to rebuild the structure to the extent it was before. Through the plan check process, it was noted that the proposed façade is different and so should be brought to the TDDRC for review. It should also be noted that there will be an E Belmont Ave overpass constructed in front of this property due to the High Speed Rail. Staff Planner: Drew Maurin Drew.Maurin@fresno.gov 559-621-8767

Meeting disruption policy

Meetings are conducted so everyone — in the room and watching or calling in remotely — can take part. A person who disrupts a meeting in person may be removed after a warning. Under California SB 707, if a service disruption within the City’s control cuts off the public’s ability to participate remotely, the body takes no further action on agenda items and recesses for at least one hour while staff make a good-faith effort to restore access; the meeting resumes only once remote access is back.
