Historic Preservation Board Staff Report
PRE2008-011 ~ 422 & 428 East Campbell Avenue Page 2 of 2
The Historic Preservation Board was generally supportive of the facade improvements
with the following conditions: maintain the door at 428 East Campbell with a clerestory
window above, replace the existing glass block with clear glass block (with non-colored
grout}, provide historically appropriate light fixtures and door hardware (work with
staff), and maintain the upper frieze tiles (reference Attachment 2, HPB Meeting
Minutes).
PROPOSAL
On November 25, 2008, staff was provided revised projects plans from the
Redevelopment Agency that complies with the above recommendations of the Board,
but revises the entry door from a double French door to a single French door with ADA
compliant entry system (reference Attachment 3, Revised Project Plans).
STAFF ANALYSIS
Staff is supportive of the revised entryway as the proposed single French door
compliments the fixed entry door required to remain per the original Historic
Preservation Board recommendation.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Historic Preservation Board review the revised proposal and
provide input to the applicant.
