HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION JANUARY 27, 2020 APPLICATION FOR A HISTORIC SIGN PERMIT C14H-1990-0013 422 GUADALUPE STREET REPUBLIC SQUARE B.1 - 1 PROPOSAL Install two flush-mounted signs. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) The proposed sign on the south elevation is 15’ 4½” wide and 2’11” high, with an area of just over 29 square feet. It will consist of an aluminum pan with reverse channel letters. A circular aluminum disc in the center of the sign will hold an exposed neon ampersand (&). 2) The proposed sign on the east elevation is 8’5” wide and 4’ 4 ½” high, with an area of nearly 37 square feet. It will consist of an aluminum pan with reverse channel letters. A circular aluminum disc will hold an exposed neon ampersand (&). STANDARDS FOR REVIEW Standards for signs in historic districts include: Number of signs. The Commission allows one sign per building, unless the building has multiple tenants; in this case, the Commission may allow one sign per façade module, if the façade modules correspond to tenant spaces. The Commission may also allow one sign for each street frontage if the building is at an intersection. A single directory sign is appropriate for a large building with multiple tenants. The building stands in Republic Square and has four frontages facing open spaces. The proposal may meet this standard, at the Commission’s discretion. Sign types. The Commission may allow window signs, awning signs, projecting signs, and flush mounted signs for most commercial buildings. Freestanding signs are allowed for office and retail uses in historic residential buildings. The proposed project includes two flush-mounted signs. Sign size. The maximum size for signs depends on the sign type. Flush-mounted signs are allowed to have a maximum height of 2 feet and a maximum size of 20 square feet. The proposed sign on the south elevation is 29 square feet, while the proposed sign on the east elevation is 37 square feet. Neither meets this standard. However, staff feels that the larger signs may be appropriate given their orientation to the large open spaces in Republic Square and the Federal Courthouse plaza. Sign Design, Coloring and Materials. Use simple shapes, such as rectangular or oval signs. The Commission recommends painted wood or metal signs with matte finishes for all signs; plastic, reflective materials, and unfinished surfaces are not allowed. Limit the colors used in a sign to no more than three. …
HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS B.2 - 1 JANUARY 27, 2020 C14H-1986-0039 REUTER HOUSE 806 ROSEDALE TERRACE PROPOSAL Construct three new houses, two of which will have auxiliary dwelling units, on the north end of the property, with addresses of 807, 809, and 811 Mariposa Drive. These are vacant lots that have been subdivided off the original Reuter House property and are under separate ownership. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS The applicant proposes the construction of three new houses and two new auxiliary dwelling units that will have addresses of 807, 809, and 811 Mariposa Drive. While technically still part of the historically-zoned parcel, these are undeveloped lots that have been subdivided off from the Reuter House property and are under separate ownership. At 807 Mariposa Drive, the applicant proposes the construction of a new house and ADU. The proposed new house takes its cues from Tudor Revival houses in the neighborhood with a steeply-pitched roof with a catslide over the front door and a large round-arched projecting bay that contains the principal fenestration on the front of the house. The house will have a combination of stucco and brick siding. The garage will be behind the house. The proposed ADU will be at the back of the lot and will be a two-story building with a more traditional take on Tudor Revival styling. It will also have a steeply-pitched roof with a catslide and a round-arched arcade porch across the front and side. The ADU will have white stucco as a principal exterior material; the porch and arcade will be constructed of black brick. At 809 Mariposa Drive, the applicant proposes the construction of a two-story house that takes its cues from Colonial Revival architecture in the neighborhood. The house will have a gabled roof, an exterior chimney, and a gabled dormer. The exterior material will be stucco with board-and batten accents, stone chimneys, and a stone garage. The building will have a standing seam metal roof. The ADU at 809 Mariposa will have a combination of Tudor Revival and post-modern design elements. The ADU will have the catslide roof common to Tudor Revival design, on an otherwise blocky building with stucco and stone as the principal materials. The ADU will have a metal roof. At 811 Mariposa Drive, the applicant proposes the construction of a house, but no ADU. The proposed house will have a post-modern-influenced Tudor …
