ATTY/RESO.0034/PC RESO 935 DURLSTON ROAD REV: 05-27-21 VR Page 1 of 8 RESOLUTION NO. 2-0 3 A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF REDWOOD CITY APPROVING THE ARCHITECTURAL PERMIT NO.2019-070 FOR 935 DURLSTON ROAD IN ACCORDANCE WITH CHAPTER 40 OF THE REDWOOD CITY MUNICIPAL CODE WHEREAS, Applicant, Jerry Winges (applicant), on behalf of property owner Erin Murphy (Property Owner), has applied for an Architectural Permit to construct a 58 square foot ground floor addition and 414 square foot second story addition to an existing historic, non-designated two-story single-family residence located at 935 Durlston Road (Project); and WHEREAS, pursuant to Chapter 40 of the Redwood City Municipal Code (Historic Preservation Ordinance), the Planning Commission shall review any application to tear down, demolish, construct, alter, remove or relocate any improvement, or any portion thereof. While the home has not gone through the formal local landmark designation process, the City received a historic evaluation (Attachment 3 to the Planning Commission staff report prepared by William Kostura dated February 2020) that concludes the home has historic significance and therefore the City is treating it as a historic property. The applicant does not seek local landmark designation at this time; and WHEREAS, the City of Redwood City (City) has received a historic evaluation that concludes that the single-family residence located at 935 Durlston Road is eligible for the California Register of Historical Resources under Criterion 3 and meets Criterion C for designation as a local historic landmark according to the historic designation criteria established by the Redwood City Historic Preservation Ordinance (Chapter 40 of the Redwood City Code) because it is an outstanding example of the Mitterrandian Revival style. The applicant is not currently proposing historic designation of the structure locally or on the California Register of Historic Resources. The proposed Project would not create significant adverse changes to the architectural style of the historic resource; and WHEREAS, on April 8 2021 the Historic Resource Advisory Committee Reviewed the Project and materials and recommended approval of the Architectural Permit; and WHEREAS, on May 20, 2021 a public hearing notice of the Planning Commission hearing was published in the San Mateo Daily Journal and sent to the Property Owner and was mailed to owners and tenants within 300 feet of the Project; and
