Main Street Los Gatos, CA 95030 ● 408-354-6874 www.losgatosca.gov TOWN OF LOS GATOS HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMITTEE REPORT MEETING DATE: 11/19/2025 ITEM NO: 5 DATE: November 14, 2025 TO: Historic Preservation Committee FROM: Joel Paulson, Community Development Director SUBJECT: Consider a Request for Approval to Construct an Addition and Exterior Alterations to an Existing Pre-1941 Single-Family Residence on Property Zoned R-1D. Located at 245 Los Gatos Boulevard. APN 529-24-024. Request for Review Application PHST-25-023. Exempt Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines, Section 15301: Existing Facilities. Property Owner: Michael Phung. Applicant: Andres Johnson. Project Planner: Samina Merchant. RECOMMENDATION: Consider a request for approval to construct an addition and exterior alterations to an existing pre-1941 single-family residence on property zoned R-1D, located at 245 Los Gatos Boulevard. PROPERTY DETAILS: 1. Date primary structure was built: 1924 per County Assessor’s Database; 1920s per Anne Bloomfield Survey 2. Bloomfield Preliminary Rating: “+” Historic and intact or worthy of special note 3. Does the property have an LHP Overlay? No 4. Is the structure in a historic district? No 5. If yes, is it a contributor? N/A 6. Findings required? No 7. Considerations required? Yes BACKGROUND: The subject property is located on the west side of Los Gatos Boulevard, north of the intersection at Simons Way. The County Assessor reports that the residence was constructed in 1924. The 1990 Anne Bloomfield Survey describes the residence as being built in a Bungalow style with an estimated construction date of the 1920s (Attachment 1). The Bloomfield Survey rates the residence as historic and intact or worthy of special note. The Sanborn Fire Insurance Maps do not provide coverage for the property until 1928. The footprint of the residence remains consistent between the 1928 and the 1956 maps PAGE 2 OF 3 SUBJECT: 245 Los Gatos Boulevard/ PHST-25-023 DATE: November 14, 2025 (Attachment 2). Town records include a 2022 Building Permit for the demolition of unpermitted and permitted areas, construction of a new addition, and exterior remodel (Attachment 3). DISCUSSION: The applicant provided a Letter of Justification for the proposed project and photos of the existing residence (Attachments 4 and 5). The applicant requests review and a recommendation of approval by the Committee for the proposed single-story additions and exterior alterations to the existing home (Attachment 7). The project proposes a 135-square-foot addition to the existing one-story residence. The addition is positioned along the side elevation, set back from the front façade, and screened by existing landscaping and fencing to minimize visibility from the street. Exterior materials will match the current home’s white stucco finish. The proposed windows are double-hung, prairie-style to match the proportions, muntin patterns, and trim details of the existing windows. CONSIDERATIONS: A. Considerations Sec. 29.80.290. Standards for review. In evaluating applications, the deciding body shall consider the architectural style, design, arrangement, texture, materials and color, and any other pertinent factors. Applications shall not be granted unless: __X__ For pre-1941 structures, the proposed work will neither adversely affect the exterior architectural characteristics or other features of the property which is the subject of the application. B. Residential Design Guidelines Sections 3.9, 4.8.3, and 4.8.4 of the Town’s Residential Design Guidelines provide recommendations for additions to existing residences, as well as for the design and placement of windows and doors located in Historic Districts and/or on historic properties (Attachment 6). CONCLUSION: The applicant is requesting approval to construct an addition and exterior alterations to an existing pre-1941 single-family residence on property zoned R-1D. Should the Committee find PAGE 3 OF 3 SUBJECT: 245 Los Gatos Boulevard/ PHST-25-023 DATE: November 14, 2025 merit in the request, a recommendation of approval would be forwarded to the Community Development Director. The application would continue through the Building Permit process and would not return to the Committee. ATTACHMENTS: 1. 1990 Anne Bloomfield Survey 2. Sanborn Fire Maps 3.

Main StreetLos Gatos, CA 95030 Subject: Justification Letter for Proposed Side Addition – 245 Los Gatos Dear Members of the Historical Preservation Committee, I am writing to request review and approval for a proposed side addition to the existingresidential dwelling located at 245 Los Gatos. The intent of this addition is to provide functional interior space while maintaining full respect for the architectural integrity and historiccharacter of the property and surrounding neighborhood. The proposed side addition has been carefully designed to be unobtrusive and minimallyvisible from the street. The addition is positioned along the side elevation, set back from thefront façade and screened by existing landscaping and site features, ensuring that the historic streetscape view remains unchanged. Architecturally, the design of the addition is fully compatible with the existing residence. Theexterior materials will match the current home’s white stucco finish, maintaining a seamlessvisual transition between the original structure and the new construction. The windows will bedouble-hung, prairie-style units, selected to replicate the proportions, muntin patterns, and trimdetails of the existing windows. These measures ensure the addition remains consistent withthe historic aesthetic of the home and the broader character of the neighborhood. In summary, this proposed side addition: - Preserves the historic street-facing appearance of the property; - Uses materials and design features that harmonize with the existing structure; - Provides a modest and respectful enhancement that supports modern residential needswhile maintaining architectural continuity. We respectfully request the Committee’s consideration and approval of this proposed design.We are committed to preserving the architectural heritage of Los Gatos and ensuring that this project contributes positively to the historic fabric of the historic fabric of the community. Thank you for your time and consideration. Please let me know if additional documentation,renderings, or material samples would be helpful in your review.

For example, be sure to provide substantial wall space above arches in stucco and stone walls. Traditionally, wall space above the arch would have been necessary to structurally span the opening, and to make the space too small is inconsistent with the archi- tectural style. •Openings in walls faced with stone, real or synthetic, should have defined lintels above the opening except in Mission or Spanish Eclectic styles. Lintels may be stone, brick or wood as suits the style of the house. •Treat synthetic materials as though they were authentic. For example, select synthetic stone patterns that place the individual stones in a horizontal plane as they would have been in a load bearing masonry wall. •Select roof materials that are consistent with the traditional architectural style (e.g., avoid concrete roof tiles on a Crafts- man Style house.) 3.8.4 Materials changes •Make materials and color changes at inside corners rather than outside corners to avoid a pasted on look. 3.9 ADDITIONS/ACCESSORY BUILDINGS/SECONDARY UNITS •Site additions in the least conspicuous place. In many cases this is a rear or side elevation - only rarely is it a rooftop. •The existing built forms, components and materials should be reinforced. Heights and proportions of additions and alterations should be consistent with and continue the original architectural style and design. •Additions should be subordinate, and compatible in scale and proportion to the historically significant portions of the existing structure. •When an addition or remodel requires the use of newly constructed exterior elements, they should be identical in size, dimension, shape and location as the original, and Use stone or wood lintels over openings in stone walls Additions, accessory buildings and secondary units should match the form, architectural style, and details of the original house ATTACHMENT 6 Residential Design Guidelines34 Town of Los Gatos BUILDING DESIGN3 should utilize the same materials as the existing protected exterior elements. •When an addition necessitates the removal of architectural materials, such as siding, windows, doors, and decorative elements, they should be carefully removed and reused in the addition where possible. •The introduction of window and door openings not char- acteristic in proportion, scale, or style with the original architecture is strongly discouraged (e.g., sliding windows or doors in a structure characterized by double hung windows and swinging doors). •The character of any addition or alteration should be in keeping with and subordinate to the integrity of the original structure. •The amount of foundation exposed on the addition should match that of the original building. •Do not add roof top additions where the roof is of historic significance. •Second floor additions are discouraged in neighborhoods with largely one story homes. If horizontal expansion of the house is not possible, consider incorporating a second floor addition within the roof form as shown in the example to the left. •Second floor additions which are not embedded within the roof form should be located to the rear of the structure. •The height and proportion of an addition or a second story should not dominate the original structure. •Deck additions should be placed to the rear of the struc- ture only, and should be subordinate in terms of scale and detailing. •New outbuildings, such as garages, should be clearly subor- dinate to the main structure in massing, and should utilize forms, materials and details which are similar to the main structure. •Garages should generally be located to the rear of the lot behind the rear wall of the residence. One car wide access driveways should be utilized. Original structure Addition incorporated into the roof successfully adds space while respecting the integrity of the existing house and the scale of the neighborhood Placing a two story addition to the rear can minimize its impact on the historic resource and the scale of the neighborhood Residential Design Guidelines48 Town of Los Gatos HISTORIC RESOURCES4 •New materials should identically match original materials in shape, size, dimension, texture and pattern. Metal used as flashing, screening, gutters, and utility services and other traditional elements are acceptable. •Composite, synthetic, metal, vinyl, plastic or fabricated/ imitation wood products, painted brick or imitation used brick will generally not be approved. However, some ex- ceptions may be made on a case-by-case basis when the decision making body determines that the replacement is consistent with the appearance of the original material, and that a lay person would be unlikely to discern the difference. The burden of proof will reside with the applicant. Mate- rial samples, photographs and specific locations where the material may be seen in use will all assist in the evaluation of alternative materials. •The decision making body may approve an acceptable alter- native to the original building material if use of the original material is not feasible due to unreasonable cost and com- mercial availability, or health and safety considerations. 4.8.3 Doors •Original doors should be retained and restored. •New replacement doors for Victorians should not be flush, but of raised or flat panel design. •Front doors generally should be painted, not stained. Not applicable to Mission Revival/Mediterranean style structures. •Screened doors should be real wood framed of simple de- sign unless patterns can be shown to fit the existing style. 4.8.4 Windows and Glass in doors •Original windows, glass and window decorations should be retained and restored. •Replacement of only the deteriorated portions of the win- dows is recommended rather than the replacement of the entire window. •New or replacement windows should be wood-sashed and muntined if applicable. •Sills, lintels, frames, sashes, muntins, and all decorations should be identically replaced. •All elements of new windows should be identical in size, shape, proportion, and dimensions as the original windows of the building, or consistent with traditional sizes, propor- tions and dimensions of buildings of the same architectural style, design and era. •Windows should be constructed of real glass, and window Simulated divided lite windows may be considered on a case-by-case basis True divided lite windows are encouraged when appropriate to the original structure Original doors and windows should be retained and repaired Residential Design Guidelines 49 Town of Los Gatos HISTORIC RESOURCES4 frames should be constructed of real wood - not vinyl, metal or plastic. Wood sashes may be vinyl or metal clad if the window frame and dressing is designed consistent with the historic context of the building. • All lites (panes of glass) should be true divided lite, not artificial or snap-in grids. Simulated Divided Lite windows are permitted when the details of the window provide projecting muntin elements on the exterior and interior of the window along with a spacer muntin between the panes of glass (See example to the left). • New arched, angled, and/or octagonal windows are discour- aged. • Large expanses of blank exterior walls without windows are discouraged. 4.8.5 Bay Windows • Size, shape, proportion, dimension, type of foundation, and, roof material and style of bay windows, whether restored or of new construction, should be identical to the original or existing bay windows of the structure. • New bay windows may be added to the building in loca- tions where no bay windows previously existed. These new bay windows should be identical to and replicate the style, design, size, shape and proportion, type of foundation and roof of other bay windows existing on structure. If there are no existing bay windows on the structure, new bay windows should be built in the same size, shape, dimension, propor- tions, material and type of foundation and roof typical of the architectural style. Metal frame kitchen garden windows are prohibited. • Generally, traditional architectural styles will require either a foundation to the ground or substantial supporting brackets below a bay window. Floating windows without support, as shown for the bow bay window example to the right, are rarely appropriate. • New bay windows are permitted only when the applicant proves to the Deciding Body that they are consistent with existing style, design and character of the structure. 4.8.6 Chimneys • Wood-framed chimneys are prohibited unless their exteri- ors are covered with brick or river rock veneers. Masonry veneers may be used. However, they should be detailed exactly as the solid construction that they are emulating. • Stucco Mission Revival or Mediterranean style houses may have stucco covered chimneys. Match bay windows to the architectural style of the house Some window styles, such as this bow bay window, would have very limited applicability for use on a historic resource structure Wood clad chimneys are prohibited Masonry and stucco chimneys are preferred ABBREVIATIONS &AND @ AT A.B.ANCHOR BOLT A.C.AIR CONDITIONING ACOUST.
