<br /> HPC REVIEW OF APPLICABLE SECTIONS O�DESIGN STANDARDS �FINDINGS O� FACT
<br /> (S=satisfies standard; NC=does not comply with standard; NA=standard not applicab#e to project.)
<br /> II. Histaric Context
<br /> A QESIGN STAMDARDS for Settina
<br /> II•A•1.Refain and preserve the historic ra�ailonship between con�ibuGng buildings and site features. Avoid removing,
<br /> reloca0ng,or radicaily c�anging exis�ng bulldings ihat confrfbute to the overall character of#he sfte.
<br /> II•A-2. Maintain and protect the historic topography,significant views and visfas,accessory siruciures,roads,walkways,
<br /> fences,walis,and plantlrtgs. Avoid removing,relocating,or radically changing existirzg lartdscape features(including plants
<br /> and gra�)that contribu#e to the overall character of the site.
<br /> II•A•3. Maintain historic site features and plantfngs ihrough appropriate methods. Seek�e advice of a professional to
<br /> ° protect site features and p}aniings fram damage during or as a result of construction activities.
<br /> 11-A•4. Repair deter'rorated historic site features such as#emaces,benches,fountains,and Irel{ises through tradi6onal
<br /> methods of repair and with materiais comparable to the origlnals.
<br /> Ii-A•5. Replac�e s�gnificant plantings with new planBngs that are idenbcal or similar in species. It is not apptopriate to
<br /> remove a healthy planting that is signiBcant to the overal4 his[oric character of the landmark site.
<br /> II•A-6. i.ocate new site features and plantings,if needed,in a manner that maintains or enhances the overail character of
<br /> the iandmark.
<br /> II-A-7. lifuminate site features and plantings,if desired,in a manner consistent wfih the historic char�ter of the(andmark
<br /> buitding and site. In ganeral,the HPC wiil discourage new lighting lhat does not senre a specific safery concern.
<br /> II-A-8. When infroducing new plan6ngs to a Local Landmaric Property consider the size of the tree or plant at maturi#y.
<br /> Vegetation can damage histor'tc buildings if not mafntalned properiy. Avaid planting new#rees or shrubbery too close to i,
<br /> exlsfing buildings,or encouraging climbing plants such as ivy from covering exterior walis or features. Considar also the
<br /> mature size of specimen trees when planting new trees near property bou;�darle�c�right-of-ways s�bject to utllity company
<br /> Uimming ar other controls.
<br /> B DESIGN STANDARDS for Warklnt�Farms
<br /> II-B•1. Maintain and renovate older agricultural bufidings.
<br /> 11-B•2. Reuse older agricultural buildings.
<br /> ll-B•3. Repl�eldemolish agricultural bufidings only when no other feasible options remain.
<br /> II-&4. Use care when locating new agricuitural bufldings anto a historic property to limif the visual impact on the scenic
<br /> farmscape.
<br /> II-B-S. New agricuitural buildings should be visibly compatible with surrounding struciures,par6cularty contributing
<br /> structures,whenever possible. Whife the HPC wili be much more flexible in their revieuv and approval of agricultural
<br /> buildings for active#arms,the HPC will still consider�design elements such as roof-type,buflding materials,size and scale.
<br /> Applicants should familiarize themseives with these design cancepts ouUined in this manual.
<br /> Il-B-6. When new pre-fabricated or metal buildings are the only feasible structures for the�qricuftura!use select a building
<br /> color that wiil reduce the building's visual impact on the property.
<br /> � C DESIGN S7ANDARDS for Outbuildings and Accessorv Structures
<br /> Il-C-1. Retain and preserve outbuildings and accessory sh�uctures such as smokehouses,dairies,washhouses,barns,
<br /> sforage bins,and sheds that contribute to the historic character of the site.
<br /> Il•C-2. Mafntafn and protect historic outbuildings and accessory struciures and their disUnctive feafures and detafis.
<br /> Repair deteriorated or damaged outbuildings and accesswy strucfures antl their character-defining features,elements,and
<br /> details using like materials. Repair work may requfre tradifionai construction methods,such�fhe use of hand tools,to
<br /> retain the in#egrity and authentic appearance of the hisforic buikling or building feature,
<br /> it-C•3. Replace any missing or deteriorated element of contributing outbuiidings or accessory structures to mair.h fhe
<br /> orlginal in design,material,dimension,and detail. Replace only the deteriorated por�on or defail of a feature rather than
<br /> the en6re feature,whenever possible. When considering the use of substltufe materials,please confact Orange County
<br /> Histaric Presenra�on staff before completing your design praposal to ensure compatibility.
<br /> {I•C-4. Reproduce contribupng outbuildings that are deteriorated beyond repa+r wiih new designs based on acourate
<br /> documentatlon,or repiace with new designs that are compatib�:in scale and proporaon,form and materiats,and detail and
<br /> finish,with other s�ondary structures an the site and the main dwelfing. New buildings tl�at replicate detariorated
<br /> structures shauld appear authen8c from a distance but should mafntain sufficienf subtle diffetences to reveal their true date
<br /> of construction.
<br /> II-C•5. Inimduce new outbuildings and accessory buildings,if necessary,that maintain the historic character af the site.
<br /> Consider the compaUbiliry of a proposed structure in terms of locadon,scale and proportion,form and materiais,and detaii
<br /> and flnish. New construc6on should not duplicate historfc buildings but should complement Orange County�'s architectural
<br /> traditions.
