The historic Alameda Theatre is located at 2315 to 2323 Central Avenue within the C-C-T (Community Commercial Theater Combining) District. Jennifer Ott, Development Services Department, reviewed staff report as presented. She informed the Board that the plans for rehabilitation have been submitted for permits to the Planning & Building Department on August 3, 2004. There has been inspections done on the marquee and it is in very good shape. In response to the HAB June 2, 2005 conditions of approval, the City's architect for the rehabilitation of the Alameda Theatre, Architectural Resources Group (ARG), has provided a detailed submittal of the proposed storefront designs for the Historic Theatre for the Board to review. Sample materials and color boards were also provided to the Board for review. Ms. Ott began the presentation by responding to a number of issues raised at the June 2, 2005 meeting. In response to the HAB's concern regarding why spandrel glass was used in lieu of Vitrolite, Ms. Ott stated that there is a very limited supply of this historic material available. In response to the HAB's concern regarding the visibility of the new structural supports in the replaced storefronts of the Theatre, the design team has opted to add visual interest to void these areas by furring out the walls in from of the piers and introducing movie poster cases in these locations. In response to the public's concern regarding the idea of "column jacketing" to help reduce the size of the columns, Ms. Ott stated the design team explored this idea with the project engineer and found that column jacketing is not applicable for this project. Staff would like the Board to review the sample boards and provide comments on the proposed storefront design for the rehabilitation of the Alameda Theatre. There is no action required at this time. Chair Anderson opened the public hearing. Chris Buckley spoke in favor of the material and colors shown tonight. Birgitt Evans would like the interior structural support to be either painted or stuccoed.
