Body
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Commission approve Application P19-02780 for fencing at St. John's Cathedral (HP #086) and St. John's Rectory (HP #087) located at 2814 Mariposa Street pursuant to FMC 12-1606(a)(2) and 12-1617 with the following conditions:
1) Staff will be allowed to photograph before, during and upon completion of the project; and
2) Any changes to the approved project will be submitted to the Historic Preservation Specialist prior to the commencement of any related work.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The owner representative of St. John's Cathedral Catholic Church and Rectory has requested that Application P19-02780 for fencing be considered for Historic Review. Because this project proposal is a substantial alteration, it requires review by the Historic Preservation Commission. The applicant submitted a Pre-Application, consisting of conceptual fencing plans, in October 2018. The Commission provided review and comment on these conceptual plans at their regularly scheduled meeting on October 22, 2018. Primary concerns for Staff are the fa?ade of the church and its main entry, as they are principal character-defining features of the historic resource that are especially visible from the public right-of-way due to the church's corner location. Pursuant to FMC 12-1606(a)(2) and 12-1618(h)(1), Staff requests that the Commission consider and make findings on Application P19-02780.
