Pursuant to Section 25-307 of the Administrative Code of the City of New York, the Landmarks Preservation Commission, at the Public Meeting of June 15, 2010, following the Public Hearing of the same date, voted to approve a proposal to alter storefront infill and install planters at the subject premises, as put forward in your application completed May 20, 2010, and as you were notified in Status Update Letter 10-9711. The approval will expire on June 15, 2016.

The work, as approved, consists of installation of planters at the sidewalk of the plaza elevation and a small portion of the sidewalk at the 49th Street elevation, to create an outdoor café space; modification of an existing storefront at the corner of West 49th Street, including removal of the entrance door and transom, and a piece of the granite bulkhead, and installation of a new recessed accessible entrance with a sidelight and transom above; modifications to an existing storefront window at the plaza elevation, including removal of a small piece of the granite bulkhead, and installation of a recessed entrance featuring granite steps with bronze handrails; and installation of a flush-mounted louver within an existing window opening at the second floor, above the main entrance at the plaza elevation. The approved work was shown on presentation boards consisting of photographs and drawings labeled 1 through 14, dated June 15, 2010, prepared by Gabellini Sheppard Associates, and presented at the Public Hearing and Public Meeting.

In reviewing this proposal, the Commission noted that the Individual Landmark designation report describes 1 Rockefeller Plaza as an style office tower, designed by L. Andrew Reinhard and Wallace K. Harrison of the Associated Architects, and built in 1936-37 as part of the Rockefeller Center complex. With regard to this proposal, the Commission found that the proposed installation of the planters to create an outdoor café area is reversible in nature, and will not cause damage to or destruction of any significant architectural features of the plaza; that the installation of the planters will not obscure significant features of the building; that the commercial infill at the base of this building and other buildings throughout Rockefeller Center have historically undergone modifications to accommodate tenant needs; that the proposed installation of a new recessed accessible entrance featuring a door and sidelight with a transom above at a storefront on 49th Street, and the installation of a recessed stepped entrance at a storefront facing the plaza will require the removal of only a minimal amount of existing building fabric; that the proposed storefront infill will feature bronze framed doors, sidelights and transoms that will match other bronze-framed storefront infill present throughout Rockefeller Center; that historic drawings show that both of the storefronts proposed to be modified were originally designed with recessed entrances, therefore installing recessed entrances will restore a feature of the storefronts that was originally present at this location; that the proposed storefront entrance at the plaza elevation will feature granite steps and bronze handrails to harmonize with the material and details of other existing stepped entrances throughout Rockefeller Center; that the proposed installation of pin-mounted bronze signage at the signbands above the storefronts and display windows is consistent with the size, style, and placement of signage approved throughout Rockefeller Center; that the installation of a flush-mounted louver within an existing second-floor window opening at the plaza elevation will not damage or destroy any significant architectural features of the building; and that the louver will be finished to match the fenestration, and therefore it will not call undue attention to itself. Based on these findings, the Commission determined the work to be appropriate to the building and to Rockefeller Center, and voted to approve it.

The Commission authorized the issuance of a Certificate of Appropriateness upon receipt, review and approval of two sets of signed and sealed Department of Building filing drawings showing the approved design.

Subsequently, on October 15, 2010, the Landmarks Preservation Commission received final drawings labeled S-001, S-101, and S-201, dated 10/19/10, prepared by Joseph Lieber, P.E.; M-101.00, M-201.00, M-202.00, M-203.00, M-301.00, M-302.00, M-401.00 through M-404.00, M-601.00, E-101.00, E-201.00, E-202.00, E-301.00 through E-304.00, E-401.00, E-402.00, E-403.00, E-501.00, FA-101.00, FA-301.00, FA-302.00, SP-101.00, SP-301.00, SP-302.00, SP-401.00, SP-501.00, P-101.00, P-301.00, P-302.00, P-401.00, P-501.00, P-601.00, and EN-101.00, dated "Issued for Construction & Permit" 10/12/10, prepared by Peter Sposato, P.E.; and A-001.00 through A-020.00, dated "Issued for Construction & Permit" 10/12/10, prepared by Robert Cataldo, R.A.

Accordingly, staff reviewed the drawings and found that the proposal also includes interior alterations at the first floor and mezzanine level, including demolition and construction of partitions, installation of new finishes, and mechanical and plumbing work. With regard to this additional work, the Commission found that the proposed changes are keeping with the spirit of the original approval, and that the proposal approved by the Commission has been maintained. Based on these and the above findings, the drawings have been marked approved with a perforated seal, and Certificate of Appropriateness 11-3463 is being issued.
