Colony homes are considered historic resources in the City and General Plan policies guide the treatment of such properties In January 2018, the Design Review Committee reviewed the design of two new multi-family units built above a garage as well as new parking and landscaping on this site adjacent to the Colony hime. These improvements are still under construction. Project Description The proposed project includes a 1,053 square foot addition to the back of the existing Colony house. The first floor addition is 392 square feet and includes a kitchen and pantry. This will connect to a 344 square foot covered porch. The second floor addition is 661 square feet and includes a new master bedroom. Analysis 1. Architectural Design The existing Colony Home on the subject site is identified on the Historical Society’s list of historical structures built between 1913 and 1927. The structure’s integrity has been preserved over the years and still has many key historic features, including the deep porch, front dormer, wide window trim, groupings of double and triple hung windows, and horizontal siding. With development of any lot that includes a historic structure, it is important that new additions compliment and do not distract from the historic building consistent with the Secretary of Interiors standards for historic structures. The following General Plan policy speaks to historic resources: Policy 6.4: Encourage conservation and preservation of structures and houses that have historical and architectural significance. Applicable Programs: 1. Protect historic buildings and sites. Atascadero's historic buildings and features shall be preserved and protected in recognition of the role the community's past plays in its present and future. Historic overlay zoning shall be utilized to protect appropriate historic districts. 2. Utilize the State Historic Building Code to encourage rehabilitation, preservation, restoration or relocation of historic buildings listed or deemed on the local, State or Federal register. 4. Utilize the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards and Guidelines for Rehabilitating Historic Properties to assess proposed improvements to historic properties. 5 ITEM 2 MULTI-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL, 7200 NAVAJOA PRE21-0063 / DAWSON Design Review Committee | City of Atascadero | www.atascadero.org | fb.me/planningatascadero Existing Colony Home at 7200 Navajoa In accordance with the Secretary of Interior standards, significant historic features of a building shall be preserved. Additions may be added, however the addition should be differentiated from the original structure, while still complementing the architecture. The proposed addition replaces an existing rear patio with pavers and incorporates details of the Colony home. These include groupings of hung windows, wide window trim and a consistent color scheme of green siding with white trim. The elevation drawing notes vertical fiber-cement siding and trim for the new addition. The elevation drawing also notes ornamental woodwork along the roofline to match what is existing on the Colony home. The new covered porch on the back includes an overhang above the first story with painted wood fascia and additional siding. The remainder of the porch includes wood patio decking, wood stairs and wood posts. The addition is proposed to match the existing building’s height at approximately 23 feet. The setbacks for the new addition are five feet from the southern (side) property line and twenty-five feet from the western (rear) property line. Staff is looking for input from the DRC regarding the blank wall facing the north. The wall faces internally into the property and will be largely hidden from view offsite. However, staff is recommending an architectural feature or additional landscaping to break up the large blank wall. 6 ITEM 2 MULTI-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL, 7200 NAVAJOA PRE21-0063 / DAWSON Design Review Committee | City of Atascadero | www.atascadero.org | fb.me/planningatascadero Proposed Concept South Elevation North Elevation 7 ITEM 2 MULTI-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL, 7200 NAVAJOA PRE21-0063/ DAWSON ADDITIONAL INFORMATION MAY BE OBTAINED BY CONTACTING THE ATASCADERO COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT AT http://www.atascadero.org 6500 PALMA AVENUE | ATASCADERO, CA 93422 | (805) 461-5000 | (805) 461-7612 Site Plan DRC DISCUSSION ITEMS:  Architectural design of proposed addition and compatibility with Colony home including the blank wall facing the north.
