SUMMARY:
The single-family dwelling is locally listed as a historical building due to the significance of its architectural features. The structure was built in 1929 with a Spanish Eclectic Style, an architectural design that is was done by noted regional architect William Otis Raiguel. The single-family dwelling was coined “Casa Campanas” because of the three bells that are on the front (south) elevation of the house.
Starting in 1934, the single-family dwelling has been incrementally altered by previous owners with materials and design details that do not match the historical aesthetic of the structure. The current owners of 1075 Marcheta Lane are in possession of the original building plans from 1929, and wish to return the structure to its original historical character through the proposed project.
The majority of the proposed modifications to this historically significant single family dwelling will remove historically inappropriate additions and alterations that were incorporated over time and repair/replace original features that have deteriorated. The goal of the proposed project is to return the single family dwelling closer to its original 1929 Spanish Eclectic design without impacting the character defining features.
The proposed renovation/remodel consists of; minor changes to the main and second story floor plans, window and door modifications and new hip roof and new windows to the existing garage and accessory dwelling unit which is legal non-conforming because it is within the upper level side setback area.
All proposed work will be in conformance with the Secretary of the Interiors Standards and for the treatment of Historic Properties, under the Standards for rehabilitation. The project has been deemed to be categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15331 which allows for restoration and rehabilitation of Historical Resources in accordance with Department of Interior standards.
