architectural style of the building. The plans incorporate articulation in the wall planes, <br /> balconies, traditional design features (porches, knee braces, gable roof), and a combination of <br /> light colored materials. The proposed building colors meet the Downtown Design Guidelines, <br /> which state that colors should be appropriate to the architectural style of the building. <br /> The Downtown Specific Plan has the following policies that are applicable to the project: <br /> Land Use Policy No. 15 <br /> Initiate an amendment to Municipal Code Section 18.84 to limit building height in all <br /> residential zoning districts in the Downtown (including future Planned Unit Development <br /> Districts) to not more than two stories and not more than 30 feet. <br /> Historic Preservation Policy No. 6 <br /> New residential building design, including the design of replacement buildings for <br /> buildings constructed before 1942 which are approved for demolition, should draw upon <br /> the primary exterior features of the Downtown's traditional design character in terms of <br /> materials, colors, details of construction, and setbacks and should utilize or be based on <br /> one of the following architectural styles found in Downtown dating from pre-1942: <br /> Gothic Revival, Italianate, Victorian (Queen Anne, Stick, and Folk), Bay Tradition, <br /> Craftsman, Prairie, Mission Revival, Spanish Colonial Revival, Mediterranean Revival, <br /> Minimal Traditional, Vernacular Forms, and FHA Minimum House. <br /> The height of the buildings would not exceed 30 feet in height, which is considered acceptable <br /> in most residential zones within the City. Staff notes that a PMC amendment for limiting height <br /> and stories of structures in the Downtown has not yet been initiated and the intent of this policy <br /> is to limit development to two stories. However, staff believes the proposal would be <br /> consistent with a reasonable interpretation of the Downtown Specific Plan Land Use policy in <br /> the absence of an amendment to the PMC relating to building height. Furthermore, the <br /> Commission was supportive of the proposed height given the low and varying roof. <br /> The applicant is proposing traditional architecture with modem elements. The materials, <br /> colors, and details of construction are based upon a "modern farmhouse" style that is <br /> characterized by wood and metal siding, front porches, prominent porch supports, knee <br /> braces, and gable roof. These details are also found in Craftsman and Minimal Traditional <br /> architecture. Although the use of metal siding and standing seam metal roofs are not typically <br /> used in downtown development projects, staff believes, and the Commission agreed at the <br /> Work Session, that the materials are high-quality and appropriately used in a way that is <br /> sensitive to the historic design quality of Downtown. Staff has included a recommended <br /> condition of approval to revise the plans such that all roofs are standing seam metal roofs, to <br /> ensure a more unified design. <br /> The applicant proposes to use quality vinyl windows. In the Downtown, staff prefers that <br /> traditional wood-framed/sashed windows be used. Staff acknowledges the high cost of these <br /> windows and generally supports the use of quality fiberglass- or vinyl-framed/sashed windows <br /> provided they have a similar frame and sash thickness as found on a traditional wood- <br /> framed/sashed window. Furthermore, when simulated mullions (grids) are used, the <br /> Downtown Design Guidelines state that the mullions be on both sides of the window rather <br /> than located between the glass panes. For this project, some of the windows will require high <br /> PUD-118, 4791 Augustine Street Planning Commission <br /> Page 18 of 25 <br />
