• please indicate the depth of the awning,
approx. 81 inches
• the distance from the sidewalk to the awning,
approx. 99 inches at building and 97 inches at street
• the distance from the awning to the bottom of the sign, and
the apparatus attaching the signs to the awning should only add about 1 /2
inch to the proposed 10 inches of the sign. Then if you account for leveling
the sign, the bottom of it should hang between 10 1 /2 inches to 12 '/z inches
from the awning.

STAFF REPORT
for
ANTONIO'S PIZZA BY THE SLICE (SDSP) (04 -021)
Project Manager: Molly Hitchcock Date: July 9, 2004
E -mail: mhitchcock @cstx.gov
In the design districts (including the WPC, NG -1, NG -2, and NG -3 districts), all substantial
maintenance (including but not limited to rehabilitation, facade work, and change of exterior
materials or other construction, including the replacement or alteration of signs) shall be subject
to the design district building and sign review process.
Zoning District: NG -1 Core Northgate
Location: 104 College Main
Applicant: Steven Reeves, Business Owner
Item Summary: This property was presented to the Design Review Board on September 23,
2003, where a 32 sq.ft. sign was approved for the front facade recess. On April 15, 2004,
requests to change tile and trim colors to maroon, green, and /or red were tabled. Board
members recommended that the property owner reconsider trim colors, not change the tile,
clean the brick, work with the windows to lighten the space, and window signage. The Board
also responded positively to the idea of a single pedestrian sign.
At this time, the applicant is again requesting to rehabilitate the front facade of the building by
changing the tile color and repainting the door and window trim to red, green, or maroon. Also
proposed is an approximately 5 sq.ft. neon window sign and two 10 in. x 5 ft. wooden
pedestrian signs.
Item Background: This property is considered Medium Priority by the Northgate Historic
Resources Study. The UDO requires properties with such a designation to be treated using
methods and materials in accordance with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for
Rehabilitation. The Standards state:
1. Changes to a property that have acquired historic significance in their own right will be
retained and preserved.
2. Distinctive materials, features, finishes, and construction techniques or examples of
craftsmanship that characterize a property will be preserved.
3. Deteriorated historic features will be repaired rather than replaced. Where the severity
of deterioration requires replacement of a distinctive feature, the new feature will match
the old in design, color, texture, and, where possible, materials. Replacement of
missing features will be substantiated by documentary and physical evidence.
The tile at the entry is considered a distinctive, character - defining feature of the building.
Depending on the age of the tile and previous finishes for the facade, removing and replacing
the tile is not in keeping with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation.
Additionally, the Northgate Design Guidelines recommend that the color scheme for a building
should consider the context of the entire block or area as well as creating a coordinated color
scheme for the building. The guidelines also suggest that bright colors should be reserved for
accents only. If replacement of the tile is approved, these guidelines should be considered as
an appropriate finish color for the entry is discussed.
Proposed color samples will be available at the meeting.
Items /Issues for Review:
1. Removal and replacement of tile
2. Door and window trim color
3. Window signage
4. Pedestrian signage
