Preservation Standards AND Guidelines August 1, 2012 4.2.6.3: The floor-to-floor heights of new buildings should closely align with the floor-to-floor heights of the adjacent or nearby historic structures. 4.2.6.4: The height of porches of new buildings should closely align with the porch heights of the historic buildings on the same streetscape, with particular attention paid to porch heights of adjacent structures. 4.2.7: The design of new construction should be compatible with historic styles within the district yet not imitate them so as to provide distinction between the historic buildings and new construction. YES NO New construction should be consistent with the predominate shapes and roof forms on the block. 4.2.8: In new construction, the use of materials similar to those of the adjacent historic structures is encouraged. Actual replication of these materials is not encouraged. This approach ensures the design compatibility of the historic structures while clearly differentiating between old and new. 4.2.9: Similar shapes that are repeated in many buildings within a streetscape are encouraged to be incorporated in the design of a new residential building. Replication of historic detailing is discouraged; however, the repetition of similar shapes and elements can help provide continuity and enhance compatibility between new and old structures. 4.2.10: Spacing and size of window and door openings must be similar to their historic counterparts within the streetscape or district, or be typical of structures of the same type, age and location. The proportion of window to wall space should also be similar to their historic counterparts, without duplicating them. 4.2.11: Ramps or other accessibility-related installations should be located on the back or side elevation of the new construction and in as unobtrusive a location as possible. If locating a ramp on the primary facade is required, it should be installed in a way that is as unobtrusive as possible and blends with the adjacent historic properties. 4.2.12: Only when a previously demolished historic building can be accurately replicated may a reproduction be considered at that site. 4.2.13: Facades of new construction facing an alley may be simplified and secondary in design to that of primary facades. The same materials should be used for alley facing building elevations as those of the primary facade, unless this varies from the typical historic condition within the district.

Preservation Standards AND Guidelines August 1, 2012 4.3 BUILDING ADDITIONS POLICY: Additions should complement and not detract from the overall historic character of the historic district. DESIGN JUSTIFICATION: The way in which a historic building and an addition to it relate is important in protecting the integrity of the historic property and district. An addition directly affects the integrity of the building as a whole. Building additions should not detract from the historic character of the historic building or district. SUSTAINABILITY JUSTIFICATION: New construction should adhere to principles of sustainability in their materials, design and energy efficiency. If construction of additions results in the removal of original fabric, consideration should be given to maximizing the retention or re-use of existing historic features, details and materials. COMMISSION REVIEW: ACTIONS THAT REQUIRE REVIEW BY THE HPC 4.3.1: Additions must be compatible in design, proportion, size, texture, color, and detail to adjacent buildings and streetscapes, and should be appropriate to the architectural style of the existing building. The incorporation of existing architectural features with new design elements can contribute added interest and compatibility. 4.3.2: New additions must be planned so that they are constructed to the back of the property or on a non-character-defining elevation preferably not visible from the public right-of-way. Characterdefining features of buildings should not be radically changed, obscured, damaged or destroyed by an addition. The existing historic building fabric should not be damaged by the installation of a new addition. YES NO Oklahoma City Historic Districts 109
