Application Filed 6/26/2026
Staff Recommendation
1. That a request for a Certificate of Appropriateness to change paint colors of main structure be denied without prejudice with the finding of fact that the proposed colors are not appropriate to the architectural style of the main structure.
2. That a request for a Certificate of Appropriateness to install gutters on the main structure be approved with the condition that the gutters match the approved fascia trim color of the structure. Implementation of the proposed condition would allow the work to be consistent with preservation criteria Sec. 51P-63.116(1)(H)(iv); City Code Section 4.501(g)(6)(C)(i) for contributing properties, and the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation.
Task Force Recommendation
1. That a request for a Certificate of Appropriateness to change paint colors of main structure be denied without prejudice as they do not compliment the style of the overall character of the district.
2. That a request for a Certificate of Appropriateness to install copper-colored gutters on the main structure be denied without prejudice as they do not compliment the style of the overall character of the district.
