Page 4 of 6 ATTY/RESOS/2017/RESO.0069/HRAC RESO 851 MAIN STREET REV: 07-05-17 PR The merged site would contain multiple DTPP mitigation groups, height zones, and would straddle the boundaries of a designated historic district. Development could occur on the individual parcels in a manner that may have a greater effect on Historic Resource DD that that of the proposed project. The merging of the parcels into a single development site adds regulatory constraints that wouldn’t have applied to the individual parcels themselves. Application of this DTPP standard in this instance would not allow for development similar to what could occur on the individual parcels, even though the outward appearance of the addition would be the same as that of a stand- alone neighboring building. The project has been designed in a manner that is consistent with the SOIS and meets the original intent of the DTPP standards and guidelines for this historic resource. Section 6. Under Section 2.1.4.A, the HRAC hereby finds that the Project will not have a significant adverse impact on the subject building and fully adheres to the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties with Guidelines for Preserving, Rehabilitating, Restoring, and Reconstructing Historic Buildings (Rehabilitation treatment) because 75% of the historic resource will be retained and rehabilitated, including the character-defining Main Street front façade and rear concrete wall. The additions would be done in a manner that is compatible with the rest of the historic façade by utilizing the symmetry and repetition of the Neoclassical architectural style, cement plaster and stone materials in neutral beige and grey tones, columns and pilasters, and defined base, middle and top caps with distinct cornice work. Further, a Rehabilitation Plan has been prepared which outlines the methods by which the landmark will be stabilized and protected during construction, and the methods for cleaning and repairing or replacing the character-defining features. Adherence to the Rehabilitation Plan before and during construction will help to ensure that the landmark and its exterior architectural features are not detrimentally altered, destroyed, or adversely affected. Section 7. Under Section 2.1.4.C, the HRAC hereby finds that the Project will not create a substantial adverse change in the significance of the Historic Main Street District, and will protect its continued eligibility for listing on the California Register, because the project has been designed in a manner that is consistent with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties and retains and emulates the character-defining features of the District. Section 8. Under Section 2.1.4.D, the HRAC hereby finds that the proposed project will not cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of the adjacent historic resource located at 837 Main Street (IOOF Hall) because the project complies with the Secretary of the Interior Standards and does not physically alter, demolish or destroy any portions of the adjacent resource.
