After-the-Fact COA — artificial turf, Lauderdale Beach Hotel
Description
The restaurant installed about 2,000 square feet of removable artificial turf over the historic front entrance area without approval; the board denied the after-the-fact fix.
Impact summary
The Historic Preservation Board denied it on Jan 6, 2026.
The turf, being reversible, can be removed; the denial upholds the historic facade's protected appearance.
