Commission grants conceptual approval to 1315 East Pyrene replacement with staff stipulations
Summary
The HDRC granted conceptual approval for a proposed replacement at 1315 East Pyrene, asking the applicant to refine siting, setbacks and materials before final plans and to coordinate required deconstruction/demolition approvals with Development Services.
The commission granted conceptual approval for the proposed project at 1315 East Pyrene, allowing the applicant to proceed with final engineering and permitting while emphasizing careful attention to siting, the garage setback and compatibility with the street.
Owner Jose Chiro told the commission the existing home is dilapidated and that deconstruction approval was previously granted for a non-contributing structure; he said a new builder had updated plans and that the project will follow previously approved setbacks, including a recessed garage. Commissioners encouraged the applicant to work closely with staff on final siting so the new house fits the block’s historic character. Staff clarified that conceptual approval is nonbinding and that final issuance of a certificate of appropriateness and building permits will require full compliance with staff stipulations and Development Services review.
The motion for conceptual approval passed on a roll-call vote with commissioners urging the applicant to refine roof pitch, stonework and other details before returning with final plans.
