RE: 222 University Avenue
Minor Development in an Historic District Application HS-24-055
Requesting Approval for Construction of an Addition and Exterior Alterations to an
Existing Non-Contributing Single-Family Residence Located in the University-Edelen
Historic District on Property Zoned R-1D:LHP. APN 529-04-004. Exempt Pursuant to
CEQA Guidelines Section 15301: Existing Facilities.
Property Owner/Applicant: Tuyet Pham
Project Planner: Sean Mullin
On November 20, 2024, the Los Gatos Historic Preservation Committee continued
consideration of the above request, recommending that the applicant consider the following
feedback:
•The proposed folding doors (two-panel and three-panel) on the front elevation are too
contemporary for the residence and the District;
•The existing window on the left side of the front elevation should not be replaced with a
door;
•Revise the proposed sliding door on the right elevation to a French door with divided lites to
be consistent with the District;
•Select a siding product with a profile that is authentic and consistent with the District;
•Any new windows that are visible from the street should be double-hung; and
•Integrate the proposed trellis on the front elevation into the design to avoid a pasted-on
appearance.
Please consider the above feedback as you revise your plans. Contact staff when the project is
ready to return to the Committee for further review.
