The CHB expressed concerns with the architectural design of the proposed residence, and compatibility with the surrounding structures and the Mount Rubidoux Historic District Design Guidelines; thus, the CHB recommended the creation of a CHB Subcommittee to work with the applicant on addressing their concerns. Since the applicant was not present to agree on CHB's recommendation, the CHB continued the project to the November 20, 2019 meeting. As a matter of record, at the October 16, 2019 CHB meeting, staff distributed a total of 16 comment letters regarding this project for CHB consideration - five letters in support, ten letters in opposition, and 1 letter in support of the Cultural Heritage Board reviewing the project (Exhibit 1). As presented by staff, comments provided on the letters did not include any additional items that have not already been addressed in the CHB staff report. For project background information, refer to the CHB Staff Report, dated October 16, 2019 (Exhibit 2). EXHIBITS 1. Comment Letters 2. Cultural Heritage Board Staff Report - October 16, 2019 11 Page
