MINUTES TOWN OF FORT MILL HISTORIC REVIEW BOARD June 11th, 2019 Council Chambers – 112 Confederate Street 4:30 PM Present: David Booth, Scott Couchenour, LeAnne Burnett Morse, Samantha Nifong, Planning Director Penelope Karagounis, Senior Planner Alex Moore, Assistant Town Manager Chris Pettit Guests: Members of BSA Troop 250-G and Kelly Clark (Kuester Commercial) CALL TO ORDER Chairperson LeAnne Burnett Morse called the meeting to order at 4:36 PM. Ms. LeAnne Burnett Morse, normally the vice-chairperson, presided in place of Mr. Louis Roman. Mr. Roman was absent due to a back-injury suffered in a recent car accident. APPROVAL OF MINUTES Chairwoman Burnett Morse entertained a motion to approve the minutes from the April 16th, 2019, meeting as presented. Senior Planner Moore interjected that two corrections needed to be made. Moore noted that in preparing the minutes he had inadvertently transposed Megan Brinton into the record rather than Carmen Banks. Moore stated that the minutes should reflect that Carmen Banks was in attendance and participated in the April 16th HRB meeting. Senior Planner Moore also stated that the submittal date of the previous meeting’s minutes needed correcting. Moore stated that the minutes should reflect a submittal date of 6/11/19. Moore apologized to the HRB for these errors and noted that he would correct these items. Scott Couchenour made a motion to approve the minutes with the adjustments as noted above. David Booth seconded the motion. The minutes were then approved with by a vote of 4-0. NEW BUSINESS Chairperson Burnette-Morse opened the new business portion of the meeting by noting the contents of the agenda and the associated packet of information which included the application for final Bailey Bill certification for 100 Main Street in downtown Fort Mill. Senior Planner Moore noted that the reason for including the HRB agenda from 6/14/16 was to provide background information on the Bailey Bill project at 100 Main Street. The 6/14/16 HRB meeting agenda included the application for preliminary Bailey Bill certification for this respective property. Chairperson Burnette-Morse asked if the HRB members were all familiar with the Bailey Bill concept. She suggested that Staff give some additional background on the Bailey Bill. Senior Planner Moore stated that he had information on the Bailey Bill concept as related to the subject property. Chairperson Burnette-Morse asked Senior Planner Moore to proceed with this discussion. Senior Planner Moore then stated that the current meeting was for the required final certification review of completed work at 100 Main Street pursuant to the property owners request to be granted local tax credits for that property. He noted the State of South Carolina enabling statute which permits local governments to grant special tax assessments, or abatements, to rehabilitated historic properties. For municipalities in South Carolina this is Section 5-21-140 of the code of laws and is simply referred to as the “Bailey Bill.” Ms. Nifong asked Senior Planner Moore what he meant by abatement. Moore responded that this simply means there would be a reduction in the tax amount due for a property when final Bailey Bill certification. He also noted that the reduction in taxes would only involve that portion of taxes due to the Town of Fort Mill. For York County, subsequent to Bailey Bill final certification, the property would continue to be assessed at the standard millage rate with no reduction. Chairperson Burnette-Morse stated that it was her understanding that the Bailey Bill would lock in the assessed value of the property at the pre-improvement amount for a specified period. Chris Pettit, Assistant Town Manager, then explained the role of the HRB in finalizing the application. The Bailey Bill locks in the value for a period of twenty-years. This is only for the Town of Fort Mill’s portion of the taxes. The pre-rehabilitation value of the project was $586,000.00. To be eligible for the tax reduction, the applicant must put 20% of this amount back into the property in the form of structural rehabilitation. Pettit noted that the applicant put at least $1,701,190.51 into the project, thus greatly exceeding the minimum investment. Mr. Pettit then reiterated that the applicant had previously received preliminary certification from the HRB for this Bailey Bill project in 2016. He then noted that the final certification now required from HRB would close out the procedural portion of the overall project and allow the property owner to be assessed, for the Town’s portion of the tax bill, at $586,000.00 for twenty-years. That portion of the tax bill for York County and the York County School District would not be reduced. Senior Planner Moore then summarized the requirements for final Bailey Bill certification and made note of the status of each obligation as pertaining to 100 Main Street. 1. The property has received preliminary certification: As noted within the general information section, this property received preliminary certification on June 24th, 2016. Please see Exhibit ‘B’ which includes the preliminary certification application along with the agenda from the June 24th, 2016 HRB meeting which includes the rehabilitation plan. 2. The minimum expenditures for rehabilitation as set forth by the Fort Mill Code of Ordinances have been incurred and paid: The required expenditures for this project are 20% of $586,500.00 (FMV). The applicant has provided information indicating that this minimum expenditure threshold has been met. 3. The reviewing authority has reviewed the completed rehabilitation work and has determined that all such work is consistent with the plans approved by the reviewing authority during preliminary certification. The Fort Mill Historic Review Board (HRB) shall serve as the reviewing authority for all completed rehabilitation work submitted as part of the final certification process: The review by the HRB must be based on the standards of rehabilitation which are listed in the attached Exhibit ‘A.’ 4. All application fees have been paid in full by the applicant: All application fees have been paid in full. 5. The property has met all other requirements of the Fort Mill Code of Ordinances: The property has met all other requirements of the Fort Mill Code of Ordinances. Senior Planner Moore then presented the pre-rehabilitation photos of 100 Main Street as well as the post- rehabilitation photos to indicate the work that had been completed. Mr. Booth then asked if the Bailey Bill included interior and exterior. Senior Planner Moore noted that it included both. Assistant Town Manager Pettit stated that it did include both, but that it was principally exterior. Senior Planner Moore noted that based on the 20% minimum expenditure requirement (of pre-rehab value), the property needed to have a minimum of $117,300.00 invested to qualify for final certification of the Bailey Bill. With a minimum of $1,701,190.51 invested into the property, this project easily qualified for final certification. Chairperson Burnette-Morse then asked if there were any other questions of staff. There being none, she asked if there were any other items that the HRB wished to discuss. Senior Planner Moore then noted that Ms. Clark was in attendance representing the applicant. Chairperson Burnette-Morse informed Ms. Clark that she could come to the podium and address the HRB if she wished. Ms. Clark stated that she did not have anything additional to share unless the HRB had questions for her. Mr. Booth asked if the expenditures were broken out by exterior and interior. Senior Planner Moore stated that the expenditures were indeed noted as to whether they were interior or exterior. Assistant Town Manager Pettit then clarified that both interior and exterior work qualified for Bailey Bill expenditures. Mr. Couchenour asked Staff if a change of ownership in the business could affect the property’s Bailey Bill status. He used the example of new signage. Senior Planner Moore noted that it could change the status if new signage were not properly designed, but that such a change would be required to be reviewed by the HRB so such a proposal could be turned down by the Board. There being no other discussion, Chairperson Burnette-Morse entertained a motion for approval of the application for final Bailey Bill certification. Mr. Couchenour made a motion to approve. Ms. Nifong seconded the motion. The motion carried by a vote of 4-0. Chairperson Burnette-Morse then held that the final certification was approved. Senior Planner Moore then noted that Staff had no other business to present. There being no other business, the meeting adjourned at 5:10 PM. Respectfully submitted, Alex J. Moore, AICP Senior Planner August 5th, 2019

APPROVAL OF MINUTES Chip Heemsoth made a motion to approve the minutes from the February 12th, 2019, meeting as presented. Ms. LeAnne Burnett Morse seconded the motion. The minutes were then approved with a vote of 6-0. OLD BUSINESS 1. Request for Certificate of Appropriateness – 135 Confederate Street Senior Planner Moore introduced the request, the purpose of which was for the review of an application for a Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) for a driveway and associated ADA parking space at 135 Confederate Street. This COA request was submitted to revise what was approved by the HRB at the 2-12-19 HRB meeting. Moore noted that SCDOT would not permit an ADA space designed to permit a vehicle to back-out into the Confederate Street right-of-way, which was what the previous approval allowed. Moore presented a revised illustrative drawing to the HRB showing a configuration submitted by the applicant. This schematic had been revised by the applicant’s design professional subsequent to the HRB packet being delivered via email the previous week. While still designed to meet SCDOT requirements, the revised proposal also preserved a tree on the site. Moore stated that there were no other changes proposed to the site plan or the building at 135 Confederate Street. 3 Dan Dodd, representing the applicant, was on hand to answer questions from HRB members. Mr. Heemsoth asked Mr. Dodd if the driveway was remaining in the same location. Mr. Dodd stated that this was correct. Chairman Roman asked Mr. Dodd if SCDOT had any other stipulations regarding the site plan. Mr. Dodd stated that they did not have any other required changes to the plan and noted that SCDOT presented him with this solution to the mandate that there be no vehicular backing into the right-of-way. Dodd noted that if HRB would approve this iteration as presented then SCDOT would be satisfied. Chairman Roman asked if there was any other discussion. There being none, he entertained a motion on the COA application as presented. Ms. Blair made a motion to approve the COA application as presented. Mr. Heemsoth seconded the motion. Then, by a vote of 6-0, the HRB approved the COA request. NEW BUSINESS 1. Request for a Certificate of Appropriateness – 106 Confederate Street Senior Planner Moore introduced the request, the purpose of which was for the review of an application for a COA for a projecting sign at 106 Confederate Street. The COA request was submitted by Kyle M. Hobbs of the Hobbs Threet, LLP Law Firm. Mr. Hobbs was at the meeting along with his associate, Trevor Threet. Senior Planner Moore reviewed the schematic drawing as submitted and noted that the proposed sign met the criteria as stipulated within the Historic District Guidelines and the Zoning Ordinance respectively. The sign was proposed to be placed above the awning and over the door facing Confederate Street. Ms. White had a question about the materials and color of the sign. Mr. Hobbs affirmed that the sign would be black wrought-iron, that the sign face would be black and white with recessed lettering, and that the sign would be two-sided. Ms. Burnett Morse stated that the projecting sign was certainly needed at this location so that the law firm would have needed visibility. Mr. Hobbs agreed that this sign was very much needed so that clients could better locate their office. There being no other comments concerning the projecting sign, Chairman Roman entertained a motion from the board. Ms. Burnett Morse made a motion to approve the COA application for the projecting sign as presented. Ms. Blair seconded the motion. The HRB then voted 6-0 to approve the request. 4 INFORMATION / DISCUSSION 1. Continued discussion of the potential for administrative reviews of painting proposals based on a selected color palette for the Town of Fort Mill Historic District Senior Planner Moore introduced the discussion. He noted that he had included the City of Richmond’s historic district color palette as a resource to draw upon in formulating the prescribed colors to be included within Fort Mill’s approved paint colors. Ms. Burnett Morse asked the HRB members if they had looked at the Richmond information and stated it would, in her opinion, be an easy adaption to the Town of Fort Mill. She also noted that the Richmond color guidelines provided for the appropriate treatment of façade elements such as trim and lintels. Senior Planner Moore noted that the administrative color palette would be for previously painted commercial buildings only. Masonry buildings that have not been painted should remain unpainted. Mr. Booth asked if the different types of architecture would be defined vis-à-vis the color palette or would there simply be an overall color palette for body, trim, etc. Chairman Roman responded that this could be done but that it did not have to be this way. He then noted that communities that have color palettes typically do match colors to architectural types. This allows a profile to be created for each structure type and lends consistency to the process. Ms. Blair asked if commercial buildings that have been painted an inappropriate color in relation to architectural type would be allowed to use the same color, or if the applicant would have to choose a color from the approved palette. She also noted that she liked the Richmond color palette. Senior Planner Moore noted that it was his understanding that the HRB would allow an applicant to use the same color, regardless of its hue. Ms. Blair stated that this was also her understanding, but that there was a discussion about this as to whether this is what the HRB wanted to move forward with. Mr. Booth stated that the HRB might create a date by which all commercial painting proposals within the historic district would have to conform to the newly adopted paint palette. Chairman Roman stated that the HRB should gain a consensus on this issue. Ms. Burnett Morse asked how long a color review requirement had existed, and how long had the historic district regulations been in place. 5 Mr. Heemsoth responded that, while the issue of the adoption of a commercial district color palette had just recently been undertaken, he believed the historic district had been in place twelve to thirteen years. Additionally, he noted that in some instances business and property owners had not come before the HRB to request approval on painting their commercial buildings. But, when such an individual or group did come before the HRB, they would bring one or more potential colors for review. Mr. Heemsoth then added that it was his opinion that if a color palette was to be adopted, then the applicant should conform to that palette, regardless of what the color was before. Ms. Burnett Morse expressed her agreement with this view and stated that any projects that had been approved prior to approval of a color palette but had not yet moved forward should be allowed to continue with what was approved. Chairman Roman also agreed with this sentiment and suggested that a maintenance timeline might be adopted for requiring applicants to adhere to the new palette. As an example, he used a ten-year timeframe, meaning that a business or property owner could re-paint to an existing color, regardless of hue, with no staff or HRB review and approval. If the ten-year timeframe elapsed, then the applicant would have to either conform to the adopted color palette or receive HRB approval to use a color not within the approved palette. Mr. Booth noted that this made sense but that conversely, a property might never be updated to an approved palette color if the structure was painted every nine-years. Ms. Burnette Morse then stated that the HRB might adopt a date, based on a somewhat recent HRB approval, after which all commercial painting proposals would have to adhere to the new color palette. She used the Olive’s Mud Puddle approval of July 10th, 2018 as this possible date as this was the last commercial painting proposal to come before the HRB. Ms. Blair then noted, after whatever date is adopted, an applicant could still go “off-palette,” but such a proposal would have to come before HRB. Chairman Roman asked if there was now a consensus from the HRB on this issue of adopting such a date. Senior Planner Moore then asked for clarification on which palette colors were being adopted. Ms. Burnette Morse, Ms. Blair, and Chairman Roman stated that they wanted to adopt the Richmond color palette. Senior Planner Moore noted that the Town of Fort Mill’s historical building stock was not as varied as what the City of Richmond contains. Mr. Booth then noted that if, for example, someone wished to do a redevelopment project within the historic district, then there would be ample architectural style-based colors to choose from. 6 There was then a brief discussion on the treatment of any structure in the district which might be destroyed by fire or otherwise. Senior Planner Moore noted that if the property was on the National Register of Historic Places that such rebuilding must also be coordinated with the South Carolina Historic Preservation Office. For such buildings not on the National Register, but within the Historic District, board members stated that rebuilding did not have to coordinate with the state historic preservation office, but only with the local HRB. Senior Planner Moore then clarified if the HRB wished to adopt the entirety of the Richmond color palette and associated details, such as architectural type. Ms. Blair stated that there could be a statement in the adoptive language indicating that not all the architectural styles are applicable in Fort Mill but that the information could be kept for reference if someone did wish to construct a respective style not of the existing historic stock. Ms. Burnett Morse also noted that some of the information from Richmond would need to be taken out before adoption. Chairman Roman indicated that this color palette would be an important component of historical redevelopment moving forward as much more growth was anticipated due to the community’s location in the Charlotte region. Ms. Burnett Morse then had some thoughts on the concept of painting masonry work within the historic district of Fort Mill. She agreed with the appropriateness of not allowing brick to be painted in the downtown area. However, she’d noted her belief that painting brick residences in the historic district should not be prohibited. Chairman Roman noted that, while the historic design guidelines indicate that it is not appropriate for masonry to be painted, an applicant could come before the HRB and request to paint a brick structure. Ms. Burnett Morse stated that the current language of the design guidelines stated that brick indeed cannot be painted. It was the board’s feeling that an individual should be allowed to paint brick upon approval by the HRB of such a project. Senior Planner Moore noted that staff would look at an edit of this and bring it back to HRB along with the paint palette draft. Chairman Roman then reminded the board of the upcoming South Carolina Historic Preservation Conference in Columbia on Friday April 26th. Senior Planner Moore noted that the Town could pay for any HRB member who wished to attend this conference. 7 Senior Planner Moore then introduced Penelope Karagounis, new Town of Fort Mill Planning Director, to the HRB. Ms. Karagounis spoke briefly about her background and noted that she looked forward to working with all the HRB members. There being no other business, the meeting adjourned at 5:08 PM. Alex J. Moore, AICP Senior Planner March 28th, 2019 8 9 10 H ISTORI C R EVI EW B OARD APPLICANT Courtney Thompson Southern Sugar 100 Main Street Tax Map # 020-06-08-010 Zoning District: Local Commercial/Historic District Zoning Case: 2019-0171 REQUEST The Town has received an application for a Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) from Ms. Courtney Thompson of Southern Sugar to include a vertical wall sign which is proposed to be placed on the front façade of 100 Main Street, along with a black aluminum roof/cover to be placed over the deck at her business. SITE DESCRIPTION AND GENERAL CONSTRUCTION PLAN Southern Sugar is an existing business located at 100 Main Street within the Center Theatre building. This is in the Town of Fort Mill Historic District. This building is not listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Please note the attached schematics illustrating the design and location of the proposed vertical wall sign as well as the proposed aluminum roof. HISTORIC DISTRICT DESIGN GUIDELINES REVIEW This review will be presented in two parts. First will be the proposed vertical wall sign. Second will be the proposed aluminum roof. I. COA REQUEST FOR A VERTICAL WALL SIGN A. Zoning Requirements The applicant notes within the COA application that she believes the existing theatre marquee at 100 Main Street has been detrimental to her business from a wayfinding perspective. Thus, Ms. Thompson has proposed a vertical wall sign as illustrated below: 11 Per the Town of Fort Mill Zoning Ordinance, wall signs are attached to the wall of a building and project out from such walls no more than 14-inches. The area of a wall sign includes that area within a continuous line enclosing all letters and graphic symbols of the sign. No wall sign shall exceed an area equal to 15 percent of the area of the wall to which it is affixed. A wall-sign cannot exceed an area greater than 150 square feet. The applicant has estimated that this signage will consist of approximately 36 square feet. Additionally, based on Staff estimates, this proposed signage does not exceed 15 percent of the front façade. Thus, the proposed wall signage as designed, meets Town of Fort Mill Zoning requirements. B. Historic District Design Guidelines The Town’s historic district design guidelines establish parameters for new and modified signage. When planning signage for a building the following concepts should be considered: • Establish objectives for signage • Limit impacts on character-defining features • Find original sign locations on a building • Ensure sign compatibility with a building and site • Consider impacts on the block • Create graphic interest 12 With the proposed signage as presented, the applicant is attempting to gain better visibility for the business. The existing, historical “Center Theatre” sign dominates the front façade of this building. However, the new signage as designed, works against the attributes of the façade by adding a vertical feature which is not compatible with the horizontal pattern of the building. Thus, there is a good possibility of a negative visual impact within this block in that the signage would not be at the same height and façade location as that of adjacent businesses. Planning Staff recommends that the applicant design a sign such as the one located on the southwest façade of the building and resubmit to the HRB for review (See below). Such a sign could be placed on the front façade and allow the proposal to overcome the deficiencies as enumerated above. 13 II. COA REQUEST FOR A BLACK ALUMINUM ROOF/COVER TO BE PLACED OVER EXISTING DECK The applicant has also applied for a COA to place a roof over the existing deck at 100 Main Street. This is proposed to be an aluminum roof. The application notes that horizontal bars will line the perimeter which will hold outdoor drapes between vertical posts. These drapes are proposed to be black and white striped. Below are pictures of the proposed roof over the existing deck at 100 Main Street: 14 15 Additionally, the applicant has provided a schematic drawing of the dimensions of the deck on-which the roof will be placed: 16 The below picture will be helpful for a historical perspective on this building from the perspective of the proposed roof. As can be seen, there was once a building attached the Center Theatre. The above picture indicates that the existing deck has a very similar footprint to this former building. Furthermore, the proposed roof addition appears to be substantially similar to the location of the roof or parapet height of the former building at this location. A. Zoning Requirements The zoning designation for this property is LC, Local Commercial. There are no setback requirements within the LC Zoning District. B. Historic District Design Guidelines The historic district design guidelines note within Chapter 3 and Chapter 4 that an addition to an existing commercial building should be compatible in scale, materials, and character with the main building. The height, mass, and form of the addition should be compatible with the historic context. Additions should be designed to be compatible within the historic context in terms of color, materials, and finish. The roof form should be compatible within the context of other structures. 17 The applicant’s proposal meets the criteria above as noted in the design guidelines. The scale and character of the roof will be compatible with the existing deck. The height, mass, and form certainly fit into the historic context as illustrated within the bygone photo on the previous page. The materials, finish, and color appear to provide appropriate integration into the downtown context. Bailey Bill Review The property, York County Tax Map # 020-06-08-010, is subject to a pending request to receive a special tax assessment for rehabilitated historic properties (Bailey Bill). The property has been approved for Preliminary Certification but has not yet received Final Certification approval. Any substantive changes made to the property during rehabilitation (prior to Final Certification approval), such as those proposed with this request, shall be reviewed and approved based upon the standards for rehabilitation outlined in Chapter 2, Article IV, Division 3, Section 2-202. Any changes not meeting those standards may disqualify the property from eligibility during the Final Certification process. Should the proposed improvements be scheduled for construction after the property has received Final Certification approval, the proposed improvements would still need to be reviewed based upon the standards for rehabilitation outlined in Chapter 2, Article IV, Division 3, Section 2- 202. The Historic Review Board shall make a determination as to whether the proposed improvements are consistent with the standards for rehabilitation. If determined to be consistent, the proposed improvements may be constructed without affecting the special tax assessment on the property. If the proposed improvements are determined to be inconsistent, their construction would disqualify the property from its eligibility for the special tax assessment. (a) Standards for rehabilitation. To be eligible for the special tax assessment, historic rehabilitations must be conducted according to the following standards: (1) The historic character of a property shall be retained and preserved. The removal of historic materials or alterations or of features and spaces that characterize each property shall be avoided. (2) Each property shall be recognized as a physical record of its time, place and use. Changes that create a false sense of historical development shall not be undertaken. (3) Most properties change over time. Those changes that have acquired historic significance in their own right shall be retained and preserved. (4) Distinctive features, finishes, and construction techniques or examples of craftsmanship that characterize a property should be preserved. (5) Deteriorated historic features shall be repaired rather than replaced. Where the severity of deterioration requires replacement or of a distinctive feature, the new should match the old in design, color, texture, and other visual qualities and, where possible, materials. Replacement of missing features shall be substantiated by documentary, physical or pictorial evidence. 18 (6) Chemical or physical treatments, such as sandblasting, that cause damage to historic materials shall not be used. The surface cleaning of structures, if appropriate, shall be undertaken using the most gentle means possible. (7) New additions, exterior alterations, or related new construction shall not destroy historic materials that characterize the property. The new work shall be differentiated from the old and shall be compatible with the massing, size, scale and architectural features to protect the historic integrity of the historic property and its environment. (8) New additions and adjacent new construction shall be undertaken in such a manner that, if removed in the future, the essential form and integrity of the historic property and its environment would be unimpaired. Staff Recommendation In summary of these requests, Planning Staff recommends that the HRB advise the applicant to re-design the proposed wall sign for resubmittal and review. Conversely, Planning Staff recommends Approval for a Certificate of Appropriateness for the proposed black aluminum roof/cover to be placed over the deck at 100 Main Street. Should the Board wish to approve the request for a Certificate of Appropriateness, staff would request that the approval motion include a condition to allow staff the ability to approve minor modifications to the plan so as to accommodate the comments and concerns of the various plan reviewers for the Town of Fort Mill. Additionally, staff would also request that any motion by the Board include language to note whether the proposed improvements were consistent with the Bailey Bill standards for rehabilitation. 19 Richmond, VA Paint Staff representatives of the Commission of Architectural Review (CAR) are authorized to assist Old and Historic District property owners in paint color selection and, where appropriate, grant administrative approval for paint color proposals. If you are considering an exterior color change, please call Commission staff at (804) 646-6335. The chart of paint colors found below represents a palette of paint colors appropriate for use on historic properties. It has been developed to guide property owners and Commission staff in color selection. Not all paint chart colors are appropriate for every historic building. Property owners are strongly encouraged to contact CAR staff in advance of any proposed painting or repainting to ensure that appropriate colors are selected. Colors not found on the palette must be reviewed by staff on a case-by-case basis. If staff members consider a property owner’s preferred colors to be inappropriate, they will forward the proposal to the CAR for full review, noting that administrative approval was not granted. The color palette is based on Sherwin Williams-brand colors. The Commission does not promote a specific brand of paint, and uses these color codes for reference only. Any paint brand with a comparable paint color may be used. Frame Structures 1) High quality paint should be used following directions for preparation and application. A paint professional should be consulted before beginning your project. 2) It is important that color selections blend with and complement the overall color schemes on the street. 3) Fluorescent and obtrusive colors are not appropriate as these were not traditionally used on local historic structures. (The high Victorian “painted ladies” of San Francisco and other western cities represent a phenomenon never adopted in Richmond.) 4) Number and variety of colors should be limited. With the notable exception of the Queen Anne style, traditional paint schemes do not use more than two or three colors. 5) Individual details in cornices and columns should not be emphasized with additional color. 6) The handrails of wooden porch railings are often painted a dark color while the pickets are painted white or off-white. 7) Doors and shutters can be painted a different color than the walls and trim. 8) Enamel “high gloss” paint should be used only on doors. 9) Treating exterior wood elements with clear finishes is not advisable unless the element was historically stained or varnished. 10) Stains are a modern method of protecting and/or coloring wood, and are usually not appropriate for use on historic building exteriors. An exception to this guidance is the use of opaque stains on pressure-treated wood elements (for example, at new fire stairs, or at rear or side porches). 11) Building materials installed as a result of additions and alterations should be painted to match or complement a building’s existing colors. Richmond CAR Guidelines Proposed update to paint colors 27 October 2016 Page 1 20 Historic Masonry 1) Do not paint historic brick or stone masonry that has not previously been painted. Painting previously unpainted masonry is historically inaccurate and is not permitted. Property owners who wish to remove paint from masonry should work with a qualified contractor knowledgeable in the use of non-abrasive cleaners. 2) Review is required if you wish to change the color of painted brick. If you wish to paint previously painted brick the same color, no review by staff or the CAR is necessary. 3) Colors associated with the colors of natural brick are strongly encouraged and are preferable to less appropriate colors (white, green, blue, etc.). Commission staff must approve any new paint colors before work can begin. Colors appearing on computer screens or printed on standard printers may distort the values of colors. It is best to refer to the color swatches available at any home improvement store. Information on the color’s name, and number can be found on the following page. The Commission does not endorse specific paint brands. Sherwin Williams paint names and codes are provided for reference only. Richmond CAR Guidelines Proposed update to paint colors 27 October 2016 Page 2 21 Exterior Paint Color Selection Chart The paint chart below is provided with the goal of streamlining paint discussions between property owners, architects / contractors, and City of Richmond staff. The colors are arranged by location on the building, with a full list (name, number, and example) provided at the end of this section. The following color selections generally correspond to the recommendations by the City of Richmond’s Commission of Architectural Review (CAR).
