e r. Hradi ord Strrrr - �stb�lt Scteeet `_^ r_lr •+° DTPP Historic Resources Map 7.A. - Page 36 Project Site 620 Jefferson Avenue The report by Mr. Brandi concluded that the Project would not have an impact on the significance of the historic resource at 620 Jefferson Avenue, nor would the project create a substantial adverse change that would affect the eligibility of the historic resource to be listed on the California Register of Historic Resources. At their regular meeting of February 11, 2016, the HRAC voted 4-1 (Committee Member Roche dissenting) that, upon reviewing the historian's report and other associated materials, the Project would not cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of the historic resource, and that it would remain eligible for listing in the California Register. DTPP Historic Resources and Development Compatibility The effect of new development near historic resources was thoroughly studied in the DTPP EIR, and regulations were incorporated into the adopted DTPP to ensure the compatibility of new development with nearby historic resources. As an example, properties that are adjacent to historic resources must follow additional process requirements in order to minimize potential impacts to an acceptable level. For this Project, the site is identified in the DTPP as being in Non -Historic Mitigation Group 6, which, in terms of process, requires only the aforementioned review by a qualified architectural historian and the HRAC. To further help ensure compatibility of new development with historic resources, the DTPP identifies seven locations where height limits have been reduced below the typical 8 to 12 story maximum in order to preserve the "feel" of the experience along historic streets, to minimize the aesthetic impacts of new development on historic resources (especially where resources are clustered), and to promote appropriate height transitions to low-rise historic neighborhoods adjacent to the Precise Plan area. As shown on the following DTPP map, the Project site is not located within any of the seven height reduction zones.
