summary. The notification is not a public hearing and no applicant
presentation or public comment has been accepted in the past. During
the Call Up Notice, City Council may uphold the HPC or P&Z decision.
Alternatively, Council may request more detailed information be provided
through a presentation by staff and the applicant at a future meeting.
After hearing the additional project description, Council may uphold the
boards’ decision or may remand it to require reconsideration of specific
issues at a new public hearing. HPC’s or P&Z’s decision on remand shall
be final.
BACKGROUND: 110 Neale Avenue is a 15,160 sf lot created through a
Historic Landmark Lot Split in 1998 that does not contain the historic
resource. The single-family home on the lot today received HPC design
review approval in 2005. Pursuant to Section 26.415.110.A, all parcels
created through the Historic Landmark Lot Split process retain
designation status and is subject to HPC design review.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
The design proposal to remodel the non-historic single-family home by reconfiguring the building footprint
and making changes to the mass and form was reviewed by HPC on June 24, 2020. During this first
hearing for Conceptual Major Development, the applicant was given direction by HPC to restudy the mass
and scale of a specific area visible from Neale Avenue. Following the HPC meeting, the applicant worked
with staff to revise the design prior to the second hearing.
On July 22nd HPC approved the proposal with conditions for Conceptual Major Development by a 5-0 vote.
Approval was granted to remodel the existing home resulting in exterior changes to the building footprint,
massing, and materials. The project is also subject to Residential Design Standards (RDS). The approved
design meets the historic preservation design guidelines for detached structures and the residential design
standards, as proposed. No historic preservation benefits were requested for this proposal at this time.
The conditions of approval focus on comments provided by other relevant City Departments and the
standard requirement to submit for Final Development Review within one year of Conceptual approval.
Staff recommends Council uphold HPC’s decision.
