Standards for Rehabilitation

values.
i i t1JUil4ll fj!}
1. A property will be used as it was historically or be given a new
° use that requires minimal change to its distinctive materials,
MI ?* flit features, spaces, and spatial relationships.
2. The historic character of a property will be retained and
Sit, preserved. The removal of distinctive materials or alteration of
EWif features, spaces, and spatial relationships that characterize a
property will be avoided.
3. Each property will be recognized as a physical record of its time,
place, and use. Changes that create a false sense of historical
development, such as adding conjectural features or elements
from other historic properties, will not be undertaken.
4. Changes to a property that have acquired historic significance in
their own right will be retained and preserved.
5. Distinctive materials, features, finishes, and construction
techniques or examples of craftsmanship that characterize a
property will be preserved.
6. 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.
7. Chemical or physical treatments, if appropriate, will be
undertaken using the gentlest means possible. Treatments that
cause damage to historic materials will not be used.
8. Archeological resources will be protected and preserved in place.
If such resources must be disturbed, mitigation measures will be
undertaken.
9. New additions, exterior alterations, or related new construction
will not destroy historic materials, features, and spatial
relationships that characterize the property. The new work will
be differentiated from the old and will be compatible with the
historic materials, features, size, scale and proportion, and
massing to protect the integrity of the property and its

environment.
10. New additions and adjace n t or related new construction will be
undertaken in a such a manner that, if removed in the future,
the essential form and integrity of the historic property and its
environment would be unimpaired.
REHABILITATION AS A TREATMENT. When repair and replacement
of deteriorated features are necessary; when alterations or additions
to the property are planned for a new or continued use; and when its
depiction at a particular period of time is not appropriate,
Rehabilitation may be considered as a treatment.

DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED EXTERIOR CHANGES
Antonio's has two different steps they would like to take to rehabilitate the storefront and two additional types
of signage they would like considered.
Storefront
1. Antonio's would like to clean up front of building by repainting door & window trim green, red or maroon to
match signage and /or interior colors. Mention was made at the previous DRB meeting of whether to include
the drainage downspout, awning and supports in the color change. While open to the possibility if the DRB
feels it is necessary, at this time Antonio's would prefer to concentrate on changing just the door and window
trim colors.
2. Having seriously considered the feedback received from the DRB at the previous meeting Antonio's still has
concerns about the look and condition of the black tile along the storefront and requests the DRB allow
replacement of the black tile with another color tile, such as green, red or maroon, to match the color of the
door and window trim.
Antonio's has taken several steps to improve the look and condition of the tile, including hand scrubbing. The
fact remains that many of the tiles are chipped, cracked or broken and in need of repair or replacement.
Understanding the Historic designation of the building and the necessary consideration of The Secretary of the
Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation, Antonio's is not requesting to change the layout or overall character of
the storefront. The Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation do allow for replacement of the
damaged tiles with a like or similar material. Antonio's is simply asking to change the color of the tile. This will
not substantially change the feel of the storefront. It will however refurbish and help to unify the look of the
storefront, similar to the rehabilitation done to the adjacent Campus Photo Building several years ago.
Note:
A. Also recommended at the previous DRB meeting was the replacement of the damaged front windows. The
business owner has pursued this option and has ordered new glass. The glass company is studying the
options available to physically replace the glass. The method of installation of the existing glass may not allow

for removal and replacement without additional damage to the the base.
B. The owner is considering the replacement of the transom windows. He would, however, like to concentrate
on the changes already proposed.
Signage
1. Antonio's would like to supplement the signage by adding a neon light spelling out Antonio's on a diagonal
in the upper portion of the center window.
2. They would also like to pursue the DRB's suggestion of using pedestrian oriented signage under the
awning perpendicular to the building, similar to others in Northgate. They are requesting one at each end of
awning.
