Below is the Task Force's recommended new historic preservation policy: <br /> If a residential building built before 1942 is determined using the "Pleasanton Downtown Historic <br /> Context Statement"to be eligible for listing in the California Register, then it is considered a historic <br /> resource by the City. The 1942 date shall be revisited every 10 years to determine if a change is <br /> warranted. <br /> Demolition Policy <br /> A new policy was added to prevent the demolition of residential building determined to be a <br /> historic resource (as defined in the section above) unless such building is determined by the <br /> Chief Building Official to be unsafe or dangerous, and if no other reasonable means of <br /> rehabilitation or relocation can be achieved. Because the City does not have a definition of what <br /> exactly constitutes a demolition, a demolition definition is included the new policy. The <br /> residential demolition definition has been refined since the Council check-in to address the case <br /> where a portion of a building that was required to be saved was later determined to be unusable <br /> (e.g., due to dry rot, termite damage, etc.). In such a case, the unusable portion could be <br /> removed and reconstructed provided the new exterior construction matched the original. <br /> Below is the Task Force's recommended residential demolition policy and demolition <br /> definition: <br /> Prohibit the demolition* of any residential building found to be a historic resource unless such <br /> building is determined by the Chief Building Official to be unsafe or dangerous, and if no other <br /> reasonable means of rehabilitation or relocation can be achieved. A 45-day public notification <br /> period shall be implemented for buildings proposed to be demolished which do not pose an <br /> immediate safety hazard in order to assess alternatives and give the public an opportunity to make <br /> proposals for rehabilitation or relocation. <br /> *Demolition of a residential building for purposes of historic preservation shall be defined as the <br /> removal of the front façade or the most visible façade from the street, including changes to the roof <br /> and roof line. The front or most visible façade shall be considered the forward most ten feet of the <br /> structure. If the portion(s) of a building that is(are) required to remain as described above are later <br /> determined by the Director of Community Development to be unusable (e.g., due to dry rot,termite <br /> damage, etc.), then said portion(s)may be removed and reconstructed provided the new exterior <br /> construction matches the original in material, composition, design, color, texture, shape, and <br /> dimensions. <br /> Cognizant of the Downtown Commercial property owners' desire not to include their properties <br /> in the new regulations, the Task Force's demolition definition would only apply to residential <br /> demolition and what constitutes a demolition of a commercial building would remain undefined. <br /> New Residential Building Design and Compatibility of New Homes and Additions with <br /> Existing Homes <br /> The Task Force did not feel that the existing Specific Plan policy regarding new building design <br /> and compatibility with the existing neighborhood character was clear and was open to <br /> P13-2446/P13-4447/P13-4448 Page - 6- November 13, 2013 <br />
