Staff is recommending that this project be deemed Categorically Exempt under CEQA. Planner Daniel Fama reported as follows: •Advised that this item has returned to the HPB for consideration of a Historic Resource Alteration Permit to allow for the installation of an awning system. •Reported that the Community Development Director will approve this request if it issupported by the Historic Preservation Board. •Added that if HPB is not supportive, this request would go forward to the Planning Commission for a Modification to a Site and Architectural Review Permit with the staff recommendation of denial. •Stated that this awning can be installed through the grout and not into the brick. Chair Foulkes opened the public hearing for Item No. 2. Pino Spanu and Hong Gui, Business Owners, came to the podium. Hong Gui, Business Owner: •Reminded that they have operated a small Italian restaurant at this location since2008. •Reported that in March they came before the HPB with a request for a retractable awning on the Central Avenue side of their business. •Advised that since that time they have engaged a local structural engineer to comeup with drawings. •Assured that the awnings being proposed can be easily removed and will not damage the bricks. •Added that they are working with a local awning vendor, European Rolling Shutters. •Said that the current proposal is three separate awnings rather than the two originally proposed to avoid the gutter downspout. •Explained the importance of these awnings to their business. Historic Preservation Board Minutes for May 22, 2019 Page 3 of 11 •Said that the retrofit to this building has been a major project. The planning process for that aspect didn’t involve them as all. •Reminded that they have been out of business at this now for 18 months when atypical retrofit generally takes six months. •Advised that there has been big window exposure loss, which is a big thing for a retail business. With the building changes there will now be less window exposure both into and out from their restaurant when they reopen. •Pointed out that they have a 20 year lease. •Said that the loss of seating for 12 results in a $200,000 loss of revenue. •Admitted that outside seating on Campbell Avenue is their first choice. Pino Spanu, Business Owner: •Pointed out that the Central Avenue side is windy and thus less comfortable for diners. Hong Gui, Business Owner: •Said that allowing awnings over their outdoor seating will help them in winning back business exposure and keep diners from weather and ensure year-long outdoor seating. •Said that these awnings will also add some European ambiance to their business. Board Member Kendall asked if they have selected a color for their awning. Pino Spanu, Business Owner, replied that the awning color is not the main issue for them. Whatever is supported by the City is fine. Chair Foulkes asked if there were any other members of the audience wishing to speak. Ms. JoElle Hernandez, Resident on Peter Drive: •Said that she was on the HPB when this project first came to HPB. •Stated that it is nice that the retrofit is getting kind of closer to completion. •Explained that she has a passion for historic preservation as well and is pleasantly surprised to see these awnings really could work with this building. •Stressed that these business owners have done a lot of work. Their proposedawnings are not impeding with windows or doors. •Added that the awnings will complement the building and can be taken down if and when needed. •Reminded that these owners have a 20 year lease. Pino is a long-standing member of the community. These are well-respected business owners. •Advised that these awnings are supported by the Secretary of the Interior’sGuidelines that applies to work done on historic structures. It is compliant with those guidelines. •Thanks the HPB for their consideration. Historic Preservation Board Minutes for May 22, 2019 Page 4 of 11 Mr. Joe Hernandez, Resident on Peter Drive: •Said that he is a 20 year resident of Campbell and served on the Planning Commission for a number of years and the City Council for four years. •Said that he understands and supports the work of the Historic Preservation Boardand the needs of local business. •Stated that this request strikes a balance. •Added that these proposed awnings can be considered a minor change and wouldnot have a significant impact to the building. They’ve been very careful with their plan. •Pointed out that the seismic retrofit and other exterior façade changes represents by the property owner represents a pretty significant change to the building more sothan these awnings will have. •Advised that these business owners always do what they say they’re going to do. They are an outstanding business with a proven track record. Pino Spanu, Business Owner: •Reported that per Health Department requirements, they have to install a new water heater that will need to have an exhaust pipe drilled to the outside near the exit door. Board Member Moore said that this is a win-win-win situation. There has been an incredible facelift to the building and the business owners have worked hard. Everyone wins. Well done. Board Member Kendall: •Stated her agreement with the comments made by Mr. Hernandez. •Admitted that she was pleasantly surprised when she saw these proposed awnings.She thought they looked great. •Suggested that they stay away from pure white as that could clash with the tile. •Asked Planner Daniel Fama if he recommends the HPB change its recommendation based on proposed changes. Planner Daniel Fama suggested they simply refer to the revised plans. Board Member Walter: •Thanked the business owners saying the awnings look great separated into three. •Asked the HPB if they would support allowing the business to fill in the gap between the awnings when in use. •Added that they have gone to a lot of expense and need to maximize their seating capacity to recoup those costs. Pino Spanu, Business Owner, said he was okay with the gap spaces between each awning and won’t need to fill those gaps in when those tables are in use. Board Member Walter suggested the applicants work with staff on the required outside venting for the upgraded water heater being required by the Health Department. Historic Preservation Board Minutes for May 22, 2019 Page 5 of 11 Board Member Blake: •Thanked the business owners. •Stated that this is a much improved design and she looks forward to celebrating thegrand reopening of their restaurant. •Said that it has been a long process and that we all will be proud of how it looks when complete.

Board Member Kendall asked if there would be a Historic Section to the General Plan. Planner Daniel Fama: •Replied that there has no consideration of adding a Historic Section. •Reminded that the GPAC is taking public comment and members of the HPB can attend GPAC meetings to provide feedback as residents of the community.

(5-0) 4.Approval of Correspondence – Letter of Commendation/ Four Corners Properties Approval of formal correspondence from the HPB to Four Corners Properties commending the company for its work on the Cannery Project located at 300 Orchard City Drive.

Board Member Blake said that the project speaks for itself. It is outstanding. It is beautiful with wonderful historic murals in the lobby. She added that they salvaged what they could with their renovations. Board Member Walter said the project looks great. Just like the renderings. Board Member Kendall reported that SARC looked at this project a long time ago. Board Member Blake said it was worth a walk-thru. Board Member Walter asked if the same business(es) were there. Board Member Blake reported that Komatsu is gone. Planner Daniel Fama advised that the uses are mainly offices. Board Member Walter said he agrees with the letter. Chair Foulkes asked if it might be possible to do a walk-thru and perhaps hold an HPB meeting on the site. Planner Daniel Fama said it might be. He would look into that and discuss with his colleague, Stephen Rose, who is the project planner. Board Member Kendall suggested adding this on-site meeting onto social media and to present the letter at that time. Board Member Walter said that location is not currently a part of the Walking Tour App. Board Member Moore said that “it could be.” Board Member Blake suggested it could be added in the next phase. Board Member Walter suggested creating an Adaptive Re-Use Walking Tour on the HPB App. Board Member Moore said that the old building on Railway could be included. Planner Daniel Fama advised that there is currently an active code case against that site. Historic Preservation Board Minutes for May 22, 2019 Page 7 of 11 Chair Foulkes stated that the HPB App is the best thing we’ve done. He said that a new area could be the Cannery-Railway connection. Board Member Kendall suggested the Teddy Roosevelt Parade Route as another good add to the HPB App. Board Member Walter said that there is a plaque where the Roosevelt tree used to be. Motion: Upon motion of Board Member Walter, seconded by Board Member Moore, the Historic Preservation Board approved the formal correspondence from the HPB to Four Corners Properties commending the company for its work on the Cannery Project located at 300 Orchard City Drive. (5-0) OLD BUSINESS 5.Kennedy Tract Surveys: Continued discussion on surveyed Kennedy Tract (Catalpa properties). Board Member Moore said that her review of the homes along Catalpa Lane was more about neighborhood than specific houses. She added that with the direction the State is going this effort may be a moot point moving forward. Planner Daniel Fama: •Said it was not likely the City would consider creating a new historic district but could consider individual houses for HRI consideration. •Explained that in the future, in order for a property to be proposed for addition as anHRI property a Historic Resource Report would have to be prepared. •Added that the cost to obtain such a report runs between $3,000 and $5,000. •Suggested going through with a rough first pass of the homes brought forward by Board Member Moore. •Said that the next step could be to engage with Council to see if they want to fund it. Board Member Moore said that most of the houses along Catalpa are similar and unremarkable. Chair Foulkes agreed that there are lots of houses and that most are unremarkable. The remarkable homes are already designated. Planner Daniel Fama said that some are more original than others. Board Member Moore cautioned that the most “original” are likely going to be falling apart. Historic Preservation Board Minutes for May 22, 2019 Page 8 of 11 Planner Daniel Fama said that those that are falling apart are likely more in need in protection. At this point, Planner Daniel Fama provided a visual tour of the homes under consideration on Catalpa as possible potential additions to the HRI. As a group, the members evaluated the streetscape frontage photographs using Google Earth. The options were: No, Maybe or No Change. The results are as follows: Catalpa Ln Consider for HRI Notes 70 Maybe Permit for new master bath 79 No Wide driveway 92 No New windows and roof 105 No New windows 121 Maybe May have original door and windows 135 Maybe 136 No New windows 149 No Tile roof/new windows 150 No New master bed/bath, windows and door 177 Maybe 178 No 191 No New garage and deck / solar panels 192 Maybe Kitchen extension, patio room 2003 206 No Demo permit issued / new home pending California St Consider for HRI Notes 18 No (remove) Recently sold and entire façade changed Board Member Kendall suggested a written history of the Kennedy Tract. Planner Daniel Fama: •Said that Area Plans have varied ranges of restrictiveness. •Added that they are intended to maintain standard style and size. •Stated that they are not intended to be a backdoor path to preservation. •Advised that if the HPB desires to create a Historic District, the City Council would have to sign off before that can begin. This Kennedy Tract doesn’t warrant becoming a Historic District. Board Member Blake asked what if some residents want to pursue a Historic District. Some owners on Cherry Lane are really interested. Planner Daniel Fama asked if they have an HOA on Cherry. Board Member Kendall replied yes, the Four C’s has one. Historic Preservation Board Minutes for May 22, 2019 Page 9 of 11 Board Member Moore said that there are mid-sill cottages in Los Gatos that were rebuilt into $3 million dollar homes but still look historic due to the efforts of the Los Gatos Planning Department. Chair Foulkes suggested identifying a few meriting consideration. Board Member Kendall suggested the HPB helping to educate the Planning Commission on historic architecture so they can make more accurate interpretations of traditional architectural styles. Board Member Walter asked if the Board is seeking to create a historical architectural look. Planner Daniel Fama cautioned that is not a Planning issue. That would have to be neighborhood driven or Council driven. Board Member said it seems the City grows willy nilly. Planner Daniel Fama reiterated that the General Plan addresses growth. Board Member Moore suggested adding HPB’s feedback to the GPAC to include preservation. Board Member Walter suggested design criteria while allowing for flexibility. Board Member Kendall asked what HPB can do to keep Campbell a small town. Planner Daniel Fama replied, “Run for Council.” He added that any future home proposed for addition to the HRI will have a good historic report to back it up. Board Member Walter: •Suggested writing something up on our Kennedy Tract, develop a survey and criteria. •Added that 5 to 20 years from now others will have something to look at and not have to start over. Chair Foulkes: •Cautioned that the homes are so similar that we have to be careful. •Suggested forwarding a report to Council to secure guidance. Board Member Blake reminded that per the current General Plan neighborhood integrity should be taken into consideration. Historic Preservation Board Minutes for May 22, 2019 Page 10 of 11 Planner Daniel Fama: • Advised that two-thirds of the City of Campbell has no design review. Homes are reviewed just via building permit processing and allowed as long as the home meets the applicable zoning standards. • Stated that maintaining neighborhood character is a Planning thing. • Reported that a home on Page Street has a small cottage on it but a new owner will build a modern home. Board Member Walter asked why there are no general design guidelines. Planner Daniel Fama: • Stated that the City has been really laissez-faire. • Added that State legislation will make design less subjective and more objective. • Cautioned that it will become more challenging in the future to develop design guidelines. Chair Foulkes asked what is next with regard to the Kennedy Tract. Planner Daniel Fama: • Said he would finalize the potentials list. • Stated that next would likely be to reach out to the approximately 14 homeowners to see if they have any interest in having their property on the HIR. If the owner is not receptive there is no point in moving forward. Board Member Moore supported looking at the 14 that made the first cut. Board Member Walter said that most of the properties ranked as “Maybe” are more likely to be “No” rather than “Yes” as far as viable for HRI status. That would leave the HPB with about five potentials. Chair Foulkes said that perhaps a Campbell Intern can be challenged to make the suggested App tour. Board Member Walter suggested summarizing HPB’s efforts and to prepare a synopsis on each block. Board Member Blake said she could help with that as she is doing research right now. Board Member Walter said the research should attempt to identify who may have lived in any of the potential properties. Board Member Blake invited the HPB and staff to her home on June 26th following the HPB meeting for refreshments. Planner Daniel Fama said he would look into training opportunities for the HPB. Historic Preservation Board Minutes for May 22, 2019 Page 11 of 11 ADJOURNMENT The Historic Preservation Board meeting adjourned at 6:30 p.m. to the next Regular Historic Preservation Board meeting of May 22, 2019. PREPARED BY: ______________________________________ Corinne Shinn, Recording Secretary APPROVED BY: ______________________________________ Michael Foulkes, Chair ATTEST: ______________________________________ Daniel Fama, HPB Staff Liaison Item No. 2 CITY OF CAMPBELL ∙ HISTORIC PRESERVATION BOARD Staff Report ∙ JUNE 26, 2019 PLN2019-101 Tsai, L. Public Hearing to consider the application of Linda Tsai to remove/rescind (PLN2019-101) a Structure of Merit commonly known as the Smith House from the City of Campbell Historic Preservation Inventory, on property located at 74 N Second Street in the R-1 (Single-Family Residential) Zoning District. (Resolution/Roll Call Vote) STAFF RECOMMENDATION That the Historic Preservation Board take one of the following actions: 1.Adopt a Resolution (reference Attachment 1), recommending that the City Council rescind the historic designation of 74 N Second Street; OR 2.Adopt a Resolution (reference Attachment 1), recommending that the City Council not rescind the historic designation of 74 N Second Street. ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION The Board's action to recommend that the subject property be removed or kept on the Historic Preservation Inventory may be considered categorically Exempt under Sec. 15060(c)(2) of the California Environment Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, pertaining to activities that will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change to the environment. DISCUSSION Project Site: The project site is located near the northeast corner of North Second Street and Civic Center Drive, within the R-1-6 (Single-Family Residential) Zoning District (reference Attachment 3 – Location Map). The property is developed with a single-family residence, a designated Structure of Merit constructed in the 1930's in the Prairie Style commonly known as the Smith House (reference Attachment 4 – Photographs). According to the City's current DPR form, the home was the residence of the widow of Campbell High School’s first principal, Fred Smith, the property's namesake (reference Attachment 5 – DPR Form). Proposal: As permitted by the Historic Preservation Ordinance (CMC Sec. 21.33.060.D.1), the property owner has submitted a written request to rescind the historic designation of the property (reference Attachment 6). Background: At its meeting of February 5, 2013, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 11510, adding 14 properties to the Historic Resource Inventory (HRI), including the subject property (reference Attachment 7). As discussed in the City Council staff report, the Council approved designation of these properties based in part on the lack of objection by the property owners (reference Attachments 8). As the Board is aware, it is the Council's practice not to add a property to the HRI without the owner's consent. This practice has now been codified in the new Historic Preservation Ordinance, which states that an "owner(s) may withdraw his or her acceptance at any time prior to final approval of the designation of the property." Staff Report – Historic Preservation Board Meeting of June 26, 2019 Page 2 of 2 PLN2019-101 ~ 74 N Second Street ANALYSIS Rescinding a property's historic designation requires the City Council, upon independent recommendations of the Board and Planning Commission, to find that "based on substantial evidence and findings of fact in the record that the resource no longer has historic value with respect to the designation criteria." The Ordinance further states that "in the case of disagreement as to the significance of a historic resource, a historic evaluation report and/or structural report shall be required." The criteria for inclusion on HRI is listed below. To what extent the subject property still satisfies the criteria, is a matter for the Board to discuss and determine. For the Board's reference, the 1977 and 1999 DPR forms are included as Attachments 9 and 10. Additionally, a scoring sheet from 1997 is included as Attachment 11. (a) The resource is associated with events that have made an important contribution to the broad patterns of our history or cultural heritage; (b) The resource is associated with the lives of persons important to our history; (c) The resource yields, or has the potential to yield, information important to our prehistory or history; (d) The resource embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, architectural style, period, or method of construction; (e) The resource represents the work of a notable architect, designer, engineer, or builder; or (f) The resource possesses significant artistic value or materially benefits the historic character of the neighborhood, community, or city.

Description: (Describe resource and its major elements. Include design, materials,condition, alterations, size, setting, and boundaries) A Prairie style house, this one story residence has low sweeping lines that are emphasized by prominent eaves and horizontal beveled lap siding carried beyond the wall surface onto the front columns and porch. Symmetrical in plan, the entry porch sits in front of the building envelope as an open terrace, framed by boxed posts and a low wall. The roof is hipped and is covered with composition shingles; a smaller hip section projects over the porch. A small cantilevered section of roof extends over the side door on the north elevation. The eaves are prominent, boxed underneath, and are terminated with large gutters with angled fronts, not likely original in design. The windows are double hung with six over six pane sash. The front door is Craftsman in detail, containing six small windows embedded within the field of the wood door at eye level. A side gable garage hugs the rear at the end of a concrete drive. This well landscaped lot is framed with an open board fence with dog-ear pickets. *P3b. Resource Attributes: (List attributes and codes) Single Family Residence *P4.
