`• 8.A. - Page 210 ?nt, Redwood City 27 1 <br /> Integrity: The integrity of the historic property will be maintained in this project, as per the National <br /> Register's seven aspects of integrity. The location would be maintained. The open setting now extant at <br /> the rear of the building will be altered by the construction of the new development immediately to the <br /> south, but the intent of the historic design of the rear of the building was clearly to provide a utilitarian <br /> service area at the center of a downtown block. The proposed setting, therefore, is compatible with the <br /> historic intent of alleyways and utilitarian planning objectives. The significant design of the building is <br /> preserved intact at the front and side facades, and the supporting design remains subordinate to the <br /> main elevations. The integrity of ample amounts of character - defining materials and workmanship are <br /> preserved in this project, including board - formed concrete walls, historic dressing -room doors, original <br /> light fixtures, and other repetitive utilitarian elements, as well as all of the historically significant front <br /> portions of the theater. The integrity of the overall feeling of the building remains intact, as the front of <br /> the theater is preserved without new alterations, and the feeling of the altered rear evokes the support <br /> services that will continue to be housed there. Finally, the integrity of the associations of the theater will <br /> be preserved, with the preservation of the character - defining features and adequate historic fabric to <br /> convey the theatrical use of the Fox Theater over the decades. <br /> Conclusion: The proposed design is compatible with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for <br /> Rehabilitation. <br /> ANALYSIS OF DTPP - REVIEW OF ADDITIONS OR MODIFICATIONS TO <br /> HISTORIC RESOURCES <br /> The proposed Fox Theater Dressing -room Wing Rehabilitation project must be evaluated for compliance <br /> with the Additions or Modifications to Historic Resources (AMHR) regulations. The proposed new <br /> building will include the reconfiguration of the parcels and /or easements associated with the Fox <br /> Theater, so full evaluation of the Fox Theater AMHR regulations with regard specifically to the new <br /> construction is provided as follows: <br /> Redwood City DTPP Standard 2.1.3 G.1.c: Redwood City Standards and Guidelines for the Fox Theater <br /> 1. Standards <br /> a. The entire interior and the historic Broadway facade, with the exception of non - historic <br /> storefront elements, must be retained and shall not be modified in any significant way. <br /> Analysis: The entire interior of the Fox Theater, along with 100% of the identified historic facade <br /> are retained in all significant ways. The portion of the historic resource proposed for removal is <br /> not an identified character - defining feature, contains some historic elements that are shown as <br /> being preserved, and is a portion of the building that needs to be modernized for the building's <br /> continued ability to house its original use. Modern theaters require modern services, and the <br /> rehabilitation standards address this concept by allowing modifications that are in keeping with <br /> the historic use and by preserving the character - defining features of the resource. The significant <br /> interior and exterior features of the Fox Theater are shown as being preserved in their entirety, <br /> including all the main (street) facades, the lobby, house, stage, and a usable portion of the <br /> dressing -room wing. <br /> ARCHIVES & ARCHITECTURE <br />
