1. A property will be used as it was historically or be given a new use that requires minimal
change to its distinctive materials,features, spaces and spatial relationships.
2. The historic character of a property will be retained and preserved. The removal of
distinctive materials or alteration of features, spaces and spatial relationships that
characterize a property will be avoided.
5. Distinctive materials, features, finishes, and construction techniques or examples of
craftsmanship that characterize a property will be preserved.
9. New additions, exterior alterations, or related new construction will not destroy historic
materials, features, and spatial relationships that characterize the property. The new work
will be differentiated from the old and will be compatible with the historic materials,
features, size, scale and proportion, and massing to protect the integrity of the property
and its environment.

SOI Standards (Rehabilitation)
Roofs
Recommended Not Recommended
Identifying, retaining, and preserving roofs and
their functional and decorative features that are
important in defining the overall historic character
of the building. The form of the roof (gable, hipped,
gambrel, flat, or mansard) is significant, as are its
decorative and functional features, roofing
material, and size, color, and patterning.
Removing or substantially changing roofs which
are important in defining the overall historic
character of the building so that, as a result, the
character is diminished.
Changing the configuration or shape of a roof by
adding highly visible new features (such as dormer
windows, vents, skylights, or a penthouse)."

SOI Standards (Rehabilitation)
New Exterior Additions
Recommended Not Recommended
Constructing a new addition on a secondary or
non-character-defining elevation; limiting its size
and scale in relationship to the historic building.
Constructing a new addition on or adjacent to a
primary elevation of the building which negatively
impacts the building’s historic character.
Constructing a new addition that results in the least
possible loss of historic materials so that character-
defining features are not obscured, damaged, or
destroyed
Attaching a new addition in a manner that
obscures, damages, or destroys character-defining
features of the historic building
Ensuring that the addition is subordinate and
secondary to the historic building and is compatible
in massing, scale, materials, relationship of solids
to voids, and color.
Constructing a new addition that is as large as or
larger than the historic building, which visually
overwhelms it (i.e., results in the diminution or loss
of its historic character).
Using the same forms, materials, and color range
of the historic building in a manner that does not
duplicate it but distinguishes the addition from the
original building.
Duplicating the exact form, material, style, and
detailing of the historic building in a new addition
so that the new work appears to be historic.
Historical Preservation Program Guidelines
3.4.1(d) Additions
Additions to listed historic structures should maintain the structure’s original architectural
integrity and closely match the building’s original architecture, or match additions that have
achieved historic significance in their own right, in terms of scale, form, massing, rhythm,
fenestration, materials, color and architectural details
3.4.1(f) Consistency required
Alterations to listed historic resources shall be approved only upon finding that the
proposed work is consistent with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for the Treatment
of Historic Properties, any required historic preservation report, General Plan policies, the
Historic Preservation Ordinance, and these Guidelines

Action: Forward a recommendation to the Community Development Director regarding the compatibility
of the proposed work with historical preservation policies, particularly regarding the potential for the
proposed addition to affect the overall historical character of the building
