SUBJECT: Request for approval of a certificate of appropriateness to allow
the construction of a new house.
FILE: CA-1351
STAFF REPORT
The Planning Manager recommends approval subject to the brick
siding being replaced with horizontally installed wood siding, vinyl
siding or hardiplank siding.
Carl Moore, the contractor, has applied for a certificate of
appropriateness to allow the construction of a new single family
residential dwelling at 2200 South Street. A building permit was
mistakenly issued in May, 2007. For some unknown reason, the
subject property was not flagged in the computer as being in the Oaks
Historic District.
The 2,100 sq. ft. house will be constructed on a slab foundation. The
property owner states that the structure will be bricked on three sides
with vinyl siding on the rear. The color of the brick will be red. The
vinyl siding and trim will be white. The white framed windows will
have multi-lights. The roof will be covered with A desert sand @ colored
architectural shingles.
Either side of the 2200 block of South is a mix of single family
residential, multifamily and vacant lots. The vast majority of the
houses in the subject block are wood frame and are on piers. One
house is brick. Immediately north of the subject property is a metal
and brick commercial building.
Sec. 30-21.2 of the Zoning Ordinance states that A materials, colors,
structural and decorative elements, and the manner in which they are
used, applied or joined together must be typical of the style and
period of the other buildings, if any, in the blockface and compatible
with the contributing structures in the historic district.@
The Planning Manager feels that new single family construction should
be welcomed in this part of the Oaks Historic District. The
immediate area has seen little, if any, new residential construction in
many years.
