*Briefly explain why the request has now been referred to the Commission.

The 28th Street Obelisk & Pump Station Restoration Project is being referred to the Commission because the Type of Construction, Alteration Level 2 (per Chapter 5- FBCE 501.1), triggers a requirement for vertical accessibility. Making such accommodations would be incongruent with the historic character of the structure.
