NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT: A. The foregoing recitals are true and correct and incorporated herein by reference. B. Based on the staff report, staff presentation, comments received and the public hearing, the Historic and Cultural Preservation Committee makes the following findings based on substantial evidence in the record: California Environmental Quality Act 1. The Project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), pursuant to CEQA Section 15301 (Existing Facilities) which includes modifications to existing structures and Section 15331 (Historical Resource Restoration/Rehabilitation) which includes modifications to historic structures that are consistent with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation. The ADIJ, which a ministerial building permit is required and does not require discretionary review by the HCPC, is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Historic&Cultural Preservation Committee Resolution No.2022-05 Page 1 DocuSign Envelope ID:079FF073-422D-4927-B24B-3D9A932153EE Quality Act (CEQA), under Section 15303 (New construction or conversion of small structures) in that the new construction a second dwelling unit in a zone which permits residential uses Petaluma General Plan 2. The Project is consistent with the site's Land Use Map designation Residential 3(R3) in that a Major HSPAR application for exterior alterations to a historic structure was submitted on September 9, 2022, as required, which would result in alterations to an existing two-story residential building on an approximately 6,720 square foot lot. 3. The project is,for the reasons contained in the November 8,2022, Historic and Cultural Preservation Committee staff report, consistent with the following General Plan policies: Policy 1-P-3 Preserve the overall scale and character of established residential neighborhoods. Policy 3-P-1 Protect historic and archaeological resources for the aesthetic, cultural, educational, environmental, economic, and scientific contribution they make to maintaining and enhancing Petaluma's character, identity and quality of life. Historic Demolition Resolution No. 2017-122 4. The proposed demolition work that would occur to support the two-story rear addition, which includes the removal of the existing one-story rear addition, is less than 50 percent of the subject property's exterior building walls. Additionally, the project does not alter the maximum height of the building and continues to support its existing rear ridgeline at approximately 25 feet. For these reasons,the project has not been defined as a demolition consistent with Resolution No.2017-122. Oakhill-Brewster Historic District Preservation Guidelines and Standards 5. Architectural -Style, Design, Arrangement, Texture, Materials, and Color a. Style.The project extends and applies the residential building's existing Italianate architectural style onto its new rear addition and exterior alterations. New roofing material, exterior siding and trim, and window types are proposed to match existing features within the building. Diana Painter's Historic Resource Evaluation (HRE) and Compliance report for the proposed design states that the design also contains a Victorian approach, where the ornate and original detailing are preserved in the front fapade and its side and rear facades are modest with utilitarian features.The Italianate and Victorian architectural styles are 2 of 16 styles appearing in the Historic District and the building is primarily identified as Italianate architecture. As such, the project is consistent with this district guideline. b. Design. The proposed project removes the existing one-story rear addition and modifies the second-floor sunroom to incorporate a cohesive two-story rear addition, which organizes its interior spaces on the ground and second floor to maximize its residential use.The existing one- story addition and sunroom were not original to the building and were added after the building was relocated to the property site on Howard Street. They also do not contain elaborate architectural details, nor does it appear to have gained historical significance.The building footprint is slightly adjusted for the new two-story rear addition, however, does not alter the building's orientation and general form and does remain consistent with the building's front facade in terms of scale, materials, and design motifs. As such, the project is consistent with this district guideline. 6. Arrangement a. Setback.The proposed rear addition is in-line with the building's existing setback and does not modify or introduce new architectural features visible to the right-of-way to impact or alter the building's current setbacks or existing character. As such, the project is consistent with this district guideline. b. Side Yards. Similarly to various other properties located within the Oakhill-Brewster Historic Historic&Cultural Preservation Committee Resolution No.2022-05 Page 2 DocuSign Envelope ID:079FF073-422D-4927-B24B-3D9A932153EE District and properties facing Howard Street, this building has a prominent front yard with driveway access and side yards similar in proportion to those of the immediate neighborhood. The rear addition does not alter the site's existing South side yard. As such, the project is consistent with this district guideline. c. Height. The project does not increase the residence's overall height. The building currently contains two prominent gable roof ridgelines, the original and historic ridgeline is parallel to Howard Street while the second ridgeline is perpendicular to the core building. The rear addition extends the second ridgeline and does not introduce another height to the building. As such, the project is consistent with this district guideline. d. Roofline. The proposed rear addition extends the existing secondary ridge line, gable roof pitch, and eave line and does not introduce a new height to the building. Previous additions included the one-story rear addition which supported a low gable roof with a single dormer and sunroom with a low-pitched shed roof. Residences within the immediate neighborhood include gable, hip, and shed roof forms across a variety of architectural styles including the adjacent Craftsman and Queen Ann architectural style.The core building's prominent roofline remains as the building's highest elevation and its secondary rooflines lower in height and are not visually prominent to the public right-of-way. As such, the project is consistent with this district guideline. e. Facade. The proposed project does not alter the appearance nor architectural style of the building's front fapade.The rear addition extends the building's existing secondary gable roof, eaveline, height, siding and trim, and window type. Each feature continues and coordinates with the building's Italianate architectural style. Relocated and new windows align at a continuous horizontal datum line and contain window caps and trims. New windows are not equally spaced to indicate a consecutive rhythm, however, are placed in a balanced location, reducing solid wall area and providing natural lighting to various living spaces on the ground and second floor. The proposed design also provides additional privacy to the South adjacent property by including obscure glass within four windows' lower sash on the left (South) elevation which face the second-floor primary bedroom and bathroom. As such, the project is consistent with this district guideline. 7. Texture and Materials. The project proposes materials that are consistent with the original Italianate style of the residence. Proposed materials include siding and trim to match existing. No additional or new materials are introduced to the building or its rear addition. As such the project is consistent with this district guideline. 8. Color. The building's exterior, including its siding, trims, window frame and caps, and decorative eave brackets are currently painted white.The project includes the building's rear addition, porch enclosure, and its associated architectural features to be painted white after construction. The colors and materials would remain consistent with the original core building and is appropriate towards its Italianate architectural style.As such,the project is consistent with this district guideline. 9. Accessory Fixtures. The architectural drawing set does not include nor indicate additional accessory fixtures to the building which are additional details that may enhance the design and entrances to a residential building. It is recommended that appropriate lighting fixtures are considered for a cohesive lighting scheme since the project includes the alteration of its entrances to include a transom windows and its new rear addition to include two new French door entrances. Draft Resolution COA #15 provides for administrative review of future lighting fixtures following the historic district's design guidelines and the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for the Treatment of Historic Buildings. As such, the project is consistent with this district guideline. Historic&Cultural Preservation Committee Resolution No.2022-05 Page 3 DocuSign Envelope ID:079FF073-422D-4927-B24B-3D9A932153EE 10. Landscape a. Fencing. No new landscape fencing,walls, and screening are a part of the proposed project. As such, the project is consistent with this district guideline. b. Plantings. No exterior landscaping or hardscape work, noting plantings nor paving, are included in the project or indicated in the proposed architectural drawings. Draft Resolution COA #16 provides for administrative review of future minor landscape and hardscape work following the City's water restriction and landscape moratorium. As such, the project is consistent with this district guideline. c. Paving. No exterior landscaping or hardscape work, noting plantings nor paving, are included in the project or indicated in the proposed architectural drawings. Draft Resolution COA #16 provides for administrative review of future minor landscape and hardscape work following the City's water restriction and landscape moratorium. As such, the project is consistent with this district guideline. 11. Public Access Easement and Dedication on Alleys. The site is not adjacent nor near a public access nor alley. Therefore, this district guideline is not applicable. 12. Signs. The site is located in a residential zone (R3) and is used as a residential building. Therefore, this district guideline for signage is not applicable. Secretary of the Interior's Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties 13. The Project is consistent with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties for Rehabilitation, as follows: a. Standard #1: The building was historically built for residential use and its proposed design intends to rehabilitate the building for a cohesive, efficient, and accommodating residence. The building was relocated in 1907 and includes two later additions, and the building continues to be located within a residentially zoned area with a historic district overlay. No changes are proposed to the use of the building as a single-family residence. As such, the project is consistent with this standard. b. Standard #2: The project does not propose the removal of integral historic architectural features related to the "Italianate" architectural style. The project does not alter or replace original features from the "core" building, however, does include the rear addition, side rear porch, and sunroom. The proposed work and designs for these alterations does not impact the building historic character. As such, the project is consistent with this standard. c. Standard #3: The project does not create a false sense of historical development and does not add conjectural features or architectural elements from other buildings to the "core" building's original Italianate architectural style. The proposed scope provides for a rear two- story addition, side rear porch enclosure, windows, and doors to facilitate and optimize the expansion of a residential building. As such, the project is consistent with this guideline. d. Standard #4: As noted in the previous historical context section, the residential building has been relocated from Kentucky Street to Howard Street, an area currently designated as the Oakhill-Brewster Historic District. The building has also experienced remodeling with exterior additions and minor alterations. Through the relocation and additions, the building has continued to uphold the building's original Italianate architectural style. As determined from the survey photographs provided with the HIRE, the building and its current site have experienced changes since its original construction and additional historic significance has not been acquired. As such, the project is consistent with this guideline. e. Standard #5: As previously stated, the project will preserve the building's Italianate Historic&Cultural Preservation Committee Resolution No.2022-05 Page 4 DocuSign Envelope ID:079FF073-422D-4927-B24B-3D9A932153EE architectural features and continue its existing exterior finishes to the rear addition and side rear porch enclosure to include roofing,siding, and trim to match existing.As such,the project is consistent with this standard. f. Standard #6:The project includes installation of a new asphalt shingle roof, replacement of a deteriorating chimney,along with the restoration and replacement of damaged/dry rot siding and trim. New asphalt shingle roof would provide for a cohesive and protective roofing barrier and preserve the building from further deterioration. As directed by the California Historic Building Code, Chapter 8, architectural features that pose life-safety hazards shall be evaluated and require immediate action to abate such hazards. Section 8-706.5 (Nonstructural Features) specifically states "nonstructural features of historical structure, such as exterior veneer, cornices and decorations,which might fall and create a life-safety hazard in an earthquake, shall be evaluated. Their ability to resist seismic forces shall be verified, or the feature shall be strengthened with improved anchorage when appropriate."Also,Section 8-901.4 (Safety Hazard) states "no person shall permit any safety hazard to exist on premises under their control, or fail to take immediate action to abate such hazard." Therefore, it is necessary to address the chimney's deteriorating condition and provide for an appropriate replacement that preserves the building's character and exterior appearance. The project description and surveyed photographs also confirms the building does contain damage/dry rot siding and trim therefore the replacement of affected areas on the exterior of the building are appropriate. Where the existing exterior materials no longer exist and/or have deteriorated beyond repair, including the roofing, existing chimney, and exterior materials for siding and trim, replacements are proposed to match the existing. As such, the project is consistent with this guideline. g. Standard #7: The project description and its architectural drawing set does not indicate the use of chemical or physical treatments to the historic building. Draft Resolution COA #13 requires that chemical or physical treatments, if appropriate, will be undertaken using the gentlest means possible is taken to avoid damage to the historic materials. h. Standard#8:Some excavation is likely to occur as part of the rear addition and rear side porch. However, these areas on the site have already experienced disturbance during the building's relocation and later additions. Work of undisturbed ground is not a part of this project, and a condition is included as a preventative measure to protect and preserve significant archeological resources if potentially significant prehistoric or historic archeological resources are encountered during the course of ground-disturbing activities (refer to Draft Resolution COA#14). As such, the project is consistent with this standard. i. Standard #9: As previously noted in the previous section for evaluation of the historic district's "design" guideline, the proposed project removes the existing one-story rear addition and modifies the second-floor sunroom to incorporate a cohesive two-story rear addition, which organizes its interior spaces on the ground and second floor to maximize its residential use.The rear addition continues the existing secondary ridgeline and is not differentiated in height though maintains a cohesive height and does not introduce new architectural features. Most importantly, the new work is compatible with the building's massing, size, scale, and architectural features and does not impact the building's historic integrity.As such,the project is consistent with this standard. j. Standard#10:The proposed project removes the existing one-story rear addition and modifies the second-floor sunroom to incorporate a cohesive two-story rear addition, which organizes its interior spaces on the ground and second floor to maximize its residential use. The rear addition continues the existing secondary ridgeline of the building and can be removed in the future without impairing the core building's essential form and integrity. As such, the project is substantially consistent with this standard. Historic&Cultural Preservation Committee Resolution No.2022-05 Page 5 DocuSign Envelope ID:079FF073-422D-4927-B24B-3D9A932153EE Implementing Zoning Ordinance 14. The Project is consistent with the site's Land Use Map designation Residential 3(R3) in that a Major HSPAR application for exterior alterations to a historic structure was submitted on September 9, 2022, as required, which would result in alterations to an existing two-story residential building on an approximately 6,720 square foot lot. The proposed project is subject to the objective development standards contained in Table 4.3 of the IZO.The property continues to be consistent with development standards including setbacks, height, and lot coverage with conditions noted in Draft Resolution (Exhibit A). 15. The project is consistent with Chapter 15 (Preservation of the Cultural and Historic Environment), in that it has been reviewed by the HCPC in accordance with the requirements contained in Section 15.070 of the IZO, and it has been determined that the proposed alterations will not adversely affect the character, or the historical, architectural, or aesthetic interest or value of the district. 16. The Project is consistent with the Major Historic Site Plan and Architectural Review standards stated in IZO Section 24.050, as follows: a. The project proposes alterations to an existing Italianate two-story residential building which is one of the inventoried styles listed in the Oakhill-Brewster Historic District. As such, the architectural style is compatible with the overall character of the neighborhood and finds that the project satisfies IZO Section 24.050(E)(1)(a). b. The project does not alter the siting of the building on the property and therefore continues to be appropriate for the site and other buildings in the neighborhood. As such, the sitting of the structure on the property is not altered and finds that the project satisfies IZO 24.050(E)(1)(b). c. Since the building continues to be of residential use,there are no proposed signage or outdoor advertising structures proposed for the site. As such, finds that the project satisfies IZO 24.050(E)(1)(c). d. The project includes a two-story rear extension and continues the existing ridgeline and supports a bulk, height, and color appropriate for the site and compared to other structures in the neighborhood. As such, finds that the project satisfies IZO 24.050(E)(1)(d). D. Based on its review of the entire record herein, including the November 8, 2022 Historic and Cultural Preservation Committee staff report, all supporting, referenced, and incorporated documents and all comments received, the Historic and Cultural Preservation Committee hereby approves Historic Site Plan and Architectural Review for the Project, subject to the conditions of approval attached hereto as Exhibit 1.
