Commission approves exterior restoration at 598 Zion Street
Summary
The Planning Commission approved replacement of siding, windows and roof at 598 Zion Street, finding the proposed James Hardie board-and-batten siding and Catalina-series windows compatible with neighborhood character and subject to standard permit conditions.
The Planning Commission granted architectural approval for exterior renovations at 598 Zion Street, including replacement of siding with James Hardie board-and-batten, window replacement with Catalina-series windows, and an asphalt shingle roof.
Staff said demolition is included in the application because more than 25% of exterior materials will be replaced and recommended conditions that the applicant obtain required building permits and submit final, permit-ready drawings. The contractor explained rot and failed flashing behind the vinyl siding required removal and replacement to address water intrusion.
Commissioners discussed soffit and overhang treatment and noted that an open-rafter tail is more historic but can raise concerns about combustibility; staff and the applicant said final detailing would be refined on permit drawings. Commissioners found the proposed materials and color palette compatible with surrounding homes and approved the application subject to recommended conditions and findings of compatibility.
