reports, oral and written public testimony, and all other documents and evidence in the public record on the Project. NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HRAC OF THE CITY OF REDWOOD CITY, AS FOLLOWS: 1. The HRAC, having independently heard, considered, and weighed all the evidence in the record presented on behalf of all parties and being fully informed of the Project, hereby finds that the Project is consistent with the Historic Preservation Ordinance. 2. The HRAC finds that the proposed Project meets the Permit Approval Criteria as listed in Historic Preservation Ordinance Section 40.10, and specifically criteria A and C: A. In the case of any property designated a historic landmark, the proposed work would not detrimentally alter, destroy or adversely affect any exterior architectural feature. The proposed work would not alter, destroy, or adversely affect any exterior architectural feature because the kiosk would be located at the entrance of the cemetery where there are currently no exterior architectural features. C. In the case of construction of a new improvement, building, or structure upon a historic site, the exterior of such improvements will not adversely affect and will be compatible with the external appearance of existing designated improvements, buildings, and structures on said site. The HRAC should also review the project under Criteria C in order to consider the entire cemetery site as a whole. Staff does find that the proposed project considers the existing structures and design within the site, and utilizes similar colors and architectural styles to be compatible. 3. The HRAC also finds that the required Findings for an Architectural Permit can be made: A. The existence of sufficient variety in the design of the structure and grounds to avoid monotony in the external appearance. The kiosk is a simple wooden structure that would be compatible with existing fences and structures in the cemetery. It also avoids monotony by utilizing ornate details under the gables to provide architectural interest.
