211 Rutledge Avenue (Fuel Cantina) went before BZA on December 16 to request a zoning variance, allowing a significant increase in density in the neighborhood and moving the historic structure already saved from demolition once. Why is this issue important? We break it down here.

City Council passed an amendment that allows Board of Architectural Review (BAR) purview when an applicant desires to have it within the Historic Materials Demolition District. That means that Upper Peninsula residents trying to preserve the historic character of their homes will have better tools to do so.
