Applicant Fred Pena
Application Filed 8/24/2026
Staff Recommendation
That the request for a Certificate of Appropriateness to remodel an existing small rear patio by adding an attached pergola and canopy roof be approved in accordance with plans and specifications dated September 18,2026 with a finding of fact that the work is appropriate to both the structure and the district and would not have an adverse effect on the district. The proposed work is, therefore, consistent with preservation criteria Sec. 51P-87-111(a) (2 and 3) and City Code Section 51A-4.501(g)(6)(C)(i) for contributing structures; and/or the Secretary of the Interior’s Guidelines for Rehabilitation.
Task Force Recommendation
No quorum - comments only. Task force is supportive of the work with the recommendation that the materials list be updated, that a divided light be added next to the back door, and that the plans be updated to reflect that the window will be relocated, not removed.
