2. PUBLIC HEARING / QUASI-JUDICIAL. 201 Hamilton Avenue[25PLN-00145]: Recommendation on
Applicant’s Request for Major Historic Resource Board Review for the Rehabilitation of an
Existing Category 2 Resource Including the Removal of Awnings from Three of the Seven
Window Bays, Replacement of the Remaining Awnings, Repair and Replacement In-Kind of
Existing Multi-Pane Transom Glass, Repainting of Door Alcoves, Installing New Alcove Lighting,

New Backlit Signage Above Entryway Door, and Sidewalk Planters. CEQA Status: Exempt From
CEQA Per Section 15301 (Existing Facilities). Zoning District: Downtown Commercial [CD-C
(GF)(P)].
Mr. Switzer explained the 201 Hamilton Avenue building was constructed in 1909 by T. B. Downing and
Sons. There was no architect indicated but the builder was E. A. Hettinger. The Post Office occupied the
first floor until 1928. Changes have been made predominantly on the first floor in the 70s and 80s.
The project proposed to remove all 6 single bay awnings on Emerson Street and 3 single bay canopies on
Hamilton Avenue, replace 2 double bay canopies on Hamilton Avenue, add new signage on the corner,
repaint building entries and alcoves, add 2 new pendant lights in entry alcoves, and replace the door on
the Emerson Street entry. The new signage above the front entry door was proposed to be backlit.
There were material samples for the Board to look at. Slides showed the existing conditions and
proposed changes on the corner elevation, Emerson Street, and Hamilton Avenue. Renderings of the
striped awnings were shown. The architectural plans noted a different color for the painting of the
alcoves versus the color chosen for the fabric. For consistency, staff recommended utilizing the fabric
color rather than the color swatch on the material board. Direction is being sought for the preferred
width of the stripe: 16 inches or 9 inches.
Staff recommend the Board recommend to the Director of Planning and Development Services that the
project conforms to the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation
Senior Architect & Project Manager Amanda Bridges noted that awnings were not part of the original
construction but had been part of the building for a long time. All historic elements of the building,
including the initial engraving, will be maintained. Ms. Bridges felt painting the alcoves and entrances
was helpful for wayfinding. There will be a café and bookstore by the 2 remaining awnings. There will be
a slight increase in height of the entrance on Emerson Street, which is necessary for functionality as
there will be large-scale artwork. Ms. Bridges had not been able to update the paint sample but will be
sticking to the golden yellow color of the fabric. Multiple renderings were shown. Pictures of nearby
businesses were shown to highlight the use of bright colors and striped awnings.
Board Member Ulinskas asked if the other 6 colors on the exterior finished materials page were original
to the building or if other colors were being introduced. Board Member Ulinskas questioned if the frame
and storefront system will be painted the P3 color or just the door.
Board Member Willis asked why yellow was chosen.
Ms. Bridges confirmed the only color being introduced on the exterior is the yellow paint for the alcoves
and the yellow-and-white awnings. The storefront frame will get painted along with the door and
alcove. Ms. Bridges explained that yellow is consistent with the branding of Ursula Café, which is Hauser
and Wirth’s café and bookstore.
Mr. Switzer said the distinguishing factor on the exterior finish materials is field. Field color can be
existing conditions. P4 is the terracotta on the alcoves; P3 is the new introduced color; P2 and P1 are the
existing conditions on the building; and P5, P6, and P7 are for the signage and awning colors.

PUBLIC COMMENT
No requests to speak.
Board Member Ulinskas had been to the Hauser and Wirth gallery in Los Angeles and felt it was a vital
and active cultural hub. Board Member Ulinskas noted the gallery can function for events and
community gatherings as well as a bookstore and café. Board Member Ulinskas said the 16-inch awning
stripe width was preferrable.
Vice Chair Rohman liked the yellow awnings and preferred the wider 16-inch stripes.
Chair Eagleston-Cieslewicz agreed the wider awning stripe looked nice and said the proposal was
consistent with the SOI standards.
Board Member Willis liked getting rid of most of the awnings to open up the windows but was
concerned about the white and yellow color scheme being difficult to keep clean. Board Member Willis
preferred the wider stripe as keeping in line with the scale of the building. Board Member Willis
suggested a different color on the awning in place of white to help keep it clean. Board Member Willis
was happy to have another bookstore in town but hoped it enhances Bell’s Books and is not
competitive.
Chair Eagleston-Cieslewicz asked whether to include a striping width recommendation in the motion.
Mr. Switzer said the discussion about the stripe width was sufficient.
: Chair Eagleston-Cieslewicz moved, seconded by Vice Chair Rohman, to find the project at 201
Hamilton Avenue to be consistent with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Historic
Rehabilitation.
: The motion passed 5-0-0.
3. Chair and Vice Chair Elections
Mr. Switzer detailed the 6-step procedure. First, nominations for Chair and Vice Chair are made. Second,
the nominee accepts the nomination. Third, a brief statement is made of why the nomination is
supported. Fourth, the nominee may make a brief statement. Fifth, other Board members may ask

No requests to speak.
Chair Eagleston-Cieslewicz nominated Vice Chair Rohman for the Chair position. Board Member Pease
seconded the nomination. Vice Chair Rohman accepted the nomination.
Chair Eagleston-Cieslewicz explained that Vice Chair Rohman had served as Vice Chair for a long time
and was aware and knowledgeable about the issues in front of the Board. Chair Eagleston-Cieslewicz felt
Vice Chair Rohman would do good job.
