FREE RECORDING PURSUANT TO GOVERNMENT CODE § 27383 Resolution No. 2024-XX Page 4 of 13 i. As conditioned, the project complies with Standard No. 1. The project does not propose to change the property’s historic and current use as a residence. Changes involving character- defining features would be limited mostly to the removal and replacement of historic windows and doors on the secondary and rear elevations, where public visibility is limited. Proposed alterations that would remove materials from the residence and garage center on the replacement of existing windows and doors, including some historic and all non - original features. Character-defining historic features proposed for removal include the like-for-like replacement of two wood horizontal windows and one metal casement window on the north-façade, the 15-light wood-sash window assemblies facing the rear patio from the west façade, and the wood French doors facing the patio from the south façade. Although these alterations would remove historic materials and features, this work would be confined to façades facing the enclosed side and back yards, which constitute private space with limited or no visibility from the right-of-way. Other proposed changes to the windows and doors would remove non-historic features on both the residence and garage, specifically vinyl windows, the non-historic front and secondary doors, and the existing metal roll-up garage door. The proposed window and door alterations would also involve the removal and/or addition of some existing stucco siding at several locations and two to three linear feet of board -and- batten siding from the secondary south elevation of the residence; however, although the siding is character-defining of the property, it is not a distinctive material and will be replaced or added in-kind to conform with the current appearance of both buildings’ exteriors. Additional work involving the removal or alteration of historic features and materials is limited to the leveling of the brick floor of the front porch. This work, which is proposed to enhance the utility of what is now a bi-level floor, will be completed with the addition of new brickwork of an appearance similar to the existing flooring material to bring the lower portion of the floor to the same level as the upper. The work will not require the removal of or substantial changes to any adjacent exterior wall surface or porch roof support. Overall, the project satisfies Standard No. 1 in that it would maintain the property’s historical use as a residence,
