HDRB Case 2026-013245 Status Confirmation
At a glance
Based on auto-generated captions; names and details may be misheard.
- What: request to confirm the historic status of a small adobe residence (documented in 1928, Spanish Pueblo Revival style) and designate its primary facade.
- Where it stands: approved 5-0 on 2026-10-13. The building is confirmed as contributing, the south elevation (facade two) including the portal is the primary facade, and non-historic materials such as the metal security door are excluded.
- Staff view: recommended adopting the 1984 and 1998 survey forms and keeping contributing status despite serious deterioration (boarded windows, cracked plaster, sagging porch supports).
- Applicant: agreed with staff and plans to repair the building and add a small rear addition.
- Note: one member stressed that "integrity" in the city code means historic integrity, not physical condition, so a deteriorated building can still be contributing.
- Next: any design review for the repairs and addition would come back as a separate case. Appeals go to the City Council.
