NEW BUSINESS
1. 158 E. Alice Ave: Staff notified the HPB that a minor addition is proposed to the rear
of the home that would not be visible from street. It would be consistent with the
architectural style and character of the existing home and therefore does not require
a CUP. The HPB indicated they had no concerns with the project as presented.
2. CLG: The HPB reviewed the draft CLG report for FY2015/2016 and indicated that
the accomplishment they wanted to highlight was the addition of a new Mills Act
Contract because it will help further the preservation goals of the City.
Board Member Walter made a motion to accept the FY2015/2016 CLG report and
send it to the California Office of Historic Preservation. Board Member Moore
seconded. Motion Passed 4-0
OLD BUSINESS
Historic Mobile Application: Community Development Director Kermoyan indicated
he was finishing up the mid-year budget review with nothing to report regarding the
historic mobile application. He indicated that the Board has until April to show
progress on moving forward with the app. The Board agreed to prioritize three
historic structures fora "My Tours" beta test; the Water Tower, the Ainsley House,
and the Galindo- Leigh House. Staff will set up a meeting with Museum staff to see
what is currently digitized, how many hours it might take to digitize new material, and
who will do the digitizing for the one or more beta tours.
2. Brochure: This item was tabled to the next regular meeting.
3. Historic Preservation Ordinance (Chapter 21.33): Chair Blake and Vice Chair
Anderson indicated they would like the code to reference an "appendix" that
provides additional information including the Historic Context Statement,
Architectural Questionnaire and Criteria for Historical Significance in Campbell, and
Design Guidelines. Staff will use similar language from the existing code to
reference these documents. Chair Blake also reiterated the need for several
definitions including "certificate of appropriateness" and "structures of merit". The
City of Davis has a good example. Vice Chair Anderson reiterated the need to move
"establish" and "protect" language from section 21.33.050 to the Reviewing Authority
section. The HPB also agreed that changes discussed by board members at
previous study sessions could now be inserted into a draft ordinance for review by
the HPB.
