SEC. 8. STANDARDS FOR REVIEW OF APPLICATIONS. The standards for review of all applications for Certificates of Appropriateness are as set forth in Section 1006.6 of Article 10. For the purposes of review under those standards, the “character of the Historic District” shall mean the exterior architectural features of the Clyde and Crooks Warehouse District referred to and described in Section 6 of this Appendix. Any exterior change within the Clyde and Crooks Warehouse District shall require a Certificate of Appropriateness, pursuant to the provisions of Article 10, when such work requires a City permit, with the exception of specific scopes of work identified by the Historic Preservation Commission and delegated to Planning Department Preservation staff for review and approval and specific scopes of work as outlined below. The procedures, requirements, controls and standards of Article 10 of the Planning Code shall apply to all applications for Certificates of Appropriateness and/or Administrative Certificates of Appropriateness in the Clyde and Crooks Warehouse District. (Added by Ord. 256-18, File No. 180723, App. 11/2/2018, Eff. 12/3/2018) SEC. 9. ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS FOR ALTERATIONS AND NEW CONSTRUCTION. Additions to existing buildings and new infill construction proposed within the Clyde and Crooks Warehouse District must reflect an understanding of the relationship of the proposal with the contributing buildings within the district. Additions shall be reviewed for compatibility with the historic building and the District, while infill construction shall be reviewed for compatibility with the overall District. Neither should directly imitate nor replicate existing features. For additions, every effort should be made to minimize the visibility of the new structure within the District. Infill construction should reflect the character of the District, including the prevailing heights of contributing buildings without creating a false sense of history. Property owners should consult early in the process with a Planning Department Historic Preservation staff when developing a proposal. (a) Additions. Additions shall be reviewed on a case-by-case basis and any proposed addition should be located in an inconspicuous location and not result in a radical change to the form or character of the historic building. A vertical addition may be approved, depending on how the addition impacts the building and its relative visibility from the surrounding public rights-of-way within the district. The Planning Department evaluates all proposals for properties identified under Article 10 of the Planning Code for compliance with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards (as set forth in Section 1006.6 of the Planning Code). Based on these Standards, Department staff uses the following criteria when reviewing proposals for vertical additions: (1) The structure respects the general size, shape, and scale of the features associated with the property and the District and the structure is connected to the property in a manner that does not alter, change, obscure, damage, or destroy any of the character-defining features of the property and the District. (2) The design respects the general historic and architectural characteristics associated with the property and the District without replicating historic styles or elements that will result in creating a false sense of history.
