Resolution No. PC-2002-18 Page 2 2. The proposed demolition would not have an adverse effect on adjoining property, or on the built context. The proposed demolition is requested by the applicants due to significant structural damage to the residence which cannot be repaired in a financially feasible manner. Thus, the demolition and replacement would result in increased property values and functionality, a benefit for adjoining property. If the new building is designed as conditioned and the in lieu fees for the project are paid and utilized, the demolition would not impact adjoining properties because the replacement building would be of similar scale for the area. 3. The proposed future use and design of the property would not be inconsistent with the Chapter or the adopted guidelines. As conditioned, the new design is consistent with the Chapter and the adopted guidelines because it is properly scaled, incorporates design elements in the exterior design, and is similaz to the design of the existing residence and surrounding structures. WHEREAS, the Planning Commission determined that the proposed project conforms to the purposes of the Downtown Revitalization District and that a Certificate of Appropriates for demolition of the existing building can be issued; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission determined that the proposed building is well designed and substantially similar in design and materials to the existing building, and, therefore, appropriate for the site.
