The <br />building, as <br />street parking <br /> <br />a total requirement of eight parking spaces for the <br />parking for the commercial (ground floor) component of the <br />well as any guest parking, would be served by existing <br />and public parking structures. <br /> <br />The applicant proposes to supply these eight parking spaces via a <br />stacking parking lift accessed from the rear alley. It has been <br />determined through a study by Kaku and Associates that alley access is a <br />viable solution for this infill proj ect. The parking lift will have <br />assigned spaces per residential unit, and Covenants, Conditions, and <br />Restrictions (CC&Rs) will be in place to educate prospective owners as <br />to any property constraints. <br /> <br />Architecture and Historic Compatibility <br /> <br />The proposed building will be designed in a modern architectural style <br />with design details and use of building materials to tie it into the <br />existing fabric of the Historic District, while at the same time <br />providing a strong counterpoint to the historic architecture surrounding <br />it (Exhibit 6). <br /> <br />The building will feature a shopfront glass fayade at the ground level <br />accented with metal canopies over the retail/gallery entry doors. The <br />front fayade of the building for the upper residential floors include <br />large roll-up windows clear non-reflective glass. Stone veneer will <br />clad the fayade on the bottom three floors in order to tie in to create <br />a feel of permanence and natural materials found in the historic fabric <br />of the block. <br /> <br />Through a study performed by an architectural historian, Kaplan Chen <br />Kaplan, and review by the Historic Resources Commission, it has been <br />determined that the juxtaposition of contemporary style architecture and <br />eclectic historic commercial architecture meets the Secretary of the <br /> <br />75A-5 <br /> <br />
