The space used as an existing <br />utility area will be improved to include a proposed patio area as shown on Exhibit 1. The <br />recommended action would allow for the improvements to be constructed and maintained within that <br />space. <br />The north- south, dead -end alley situated between the SCG Building and the Santora Building at 207 <br />North Broadway has long been an underutilized public space subject to criminal activity and trash <br />accumulation. During the last few years, the owner of the SCG Building, Corbiz, has constructed <br />improvements within the alley, including removal of the outdated northerly archway, reconstruction of <br />the stairs and access ramp, installation of drainage improvements, and replacement of the pavement <br />tiles. These alley improvements were performed in conjunction with a significant upgrade of adjacent <br />Corbiz properties, including the remodel and retrofit of the SCG building and reconstruction of the <br />adjacent parking lot at 214 North Sycamore Street. <br />A portion of the alley adjacent to the recessed part of the SCG Building previously contained a walled - <br />off patio area. The wall and other improvements were removed by a former tenant. However, Corbiz <br />has requested approval to re- institute the patio area within the public alley by constructing a low block <br />wall topped with a wrought iron fence and gas lamps as shown in Exhibit 2. In addition, a utility area <br />was previously constructed under a building permit within the alley adjacent to the SCG Building. <br />25E -1 <br />
