17.52.510 Sutter street subarea special use and design standards.

A. Permitted Uses.

1. Retail, service, public/quasi-public and office uses permitted in Folsom's modern central business district (C-2 zone) are permitted, with the following exceptions and limitations:
a. Uses not in scale with a small downtown, such as large discount stores and supermarkets, are not permitted.
b. Uses which are so intrinsically modern that they cannot be successfully integrated, through design, into the plan's historic time frame, such as non-antique auto sales with outdoor display, are not permitted.
c. Uses which would require a conditional use permit from the planning commission in the modern central business district (C-2 zone) require a conditional use permit from the historic district commission in this subarea.

2. Small light industrial uses are permitted, with the following exceptions and limitations:
a. All industrial uses require a conditional use permit approved by the historic district commission.
b. lndustrial uses which were or could have been present in Folsom between 1850 and 1950 may apply for a conditional use permit (a blacksmith shop, for example). c. Modern industrial uses which typify the American entrepreneurial spirit of 1850 through 1950 may receive a conditional use permit if theycan be successfullyintegrated intothe plan's historic time frame (a small research and development facility, for example).

3. Residential uses are permitted, with the following exceptions and limitations:
a. Street-level frontage space is intended for retail and other commercial use and is generally not appropriate for residential use.
b. ln assessing compatibility between residential and commercial uses, a residential use located within this subarea will be expected to tolerate greater impacts from commercial uses

Page 549 ends

10/10/2023 Item No.10.
than if it were located in a primarily residential area. Commercial and residential uses may each be expected to make reasonable physical or operational modifications to improve compatibility between them.
c. An upstairs or accessory apartment is best suited as a residence for caretakers, owners, or employees of the downstairs or primary business use but is not so limited. d. A conditional use permit is required in order for the primary use of a structure in this subarea to be residential.
e. A use is defined as residentialfor purposes of this section if persons reside there for extended periods, as opposed to short-term stays typical of hotels or bed and breakfast inns. f . A conditional use permit is required for a commercial or residential project containing three or more dwelling units.
4, A conditional use permit may be granted by the historic district commission to allow uses similar to and compatible with the permitted uses and intent of this subarea.

5. Since many of the structures in this subarea cannot be modified to meet allthe city's current building and fire safety standards, including the historical building code, without the loss of their historicalvalue, some uses which would otherwise be permitted may be denied on the basis of maintaining safety at an acceptable level.

B. Design Concept. The design concept for this subarea is to preserve existing pre1900 buildings, and require new or replacement structures to be of a pre1900 design, unless a post- 1900 building is unique and/or representative of 1850-1950 architectural styles. The historic district commission may approve new construction of post-1900 design, on an exception basis, if it finds that the architecture is an outstanding design which represents a structure or use which formerly existed in historic Folsom or which represents a typical design and use extant in similar California towns between 1900 and 1950.

C. Height. Building heights shall not exceed 35 feet adjacent to the sidewalk area on Sutter or Leidesdorff Street and 50 feet in other sections of the subarea. Towers, spires, or other similar architectural features may extend up to 15 feet above the building height.

D. Setbacks. Contiguous shops on Sutter Street frontage shall maintain continuity of facades along public sidewalk.

E. Signs.

1. Each business whose entry door is located in the building frontage is permitted 1 wall or window sign. A business whose entry is located within an internal mall or corridor may utilize a nameplate incorporated in a wall sign for the entire building. The length of a wall sign may not exceed 75 percent of the shop's frontage. The total of all window signage may not cover more than 25 percent of the window. Wall signs shall be designed and installed with minimal space between the planes of the wall and of the sign. Businesses with frontage on more than one street and/or public parking lot may place a wall or window sign on each frontage, with subsequent signs to be no larger than half the size specified for the first sign and subject to the other requirements of the first sign.
2, Signs are permitted to be hung under a canopy, but shall not exceed 3 square feet in size with a minimum of 8 feet clearance from the sidewalk in addition to any permitted wall or window signs. Businesses without a canopy may utilize a projecting sign of the same size and

Page 550 ends

10/10/2023 Item No.10.
clearance for this purpose. The historic district commission may approve an increase in the size of the under-canopy or projecting sign in exchange for a reduction in size of the wall or window sign.

3. Signs exempt in Chapter 17.59 are exempt in this subarea except as follows:
a. On-site directional signs are not exempt unless 2 square feet or smaller and, if freestanding, no higher than 2 feet, including base;
b. Exempt real-estate signs do not require a setback from public right-of-way; and c. Window or door signs 1 square foot in size or larger and under-canopy signs are not exempt. Window or door signs smaller than 1 square foot are exempt but subject to the overall requi rement regarding wi ndow coverage.

4. ln addition to those signs prohibited in Chapter 17.59, the following signs are prohibited in this subarea:
a. Neon;
b. lnternallyilluminated;
c. Backlit canopies; and
d. Corporate flags.

5. Freestanding signs are not permitted, unless the historic district commission determines that the exclusive use of wall signage at a particular location is ineffective. The historic district commission may require a reduction in the amount of wallsignage otherwise allowed to compensate for the use of a freestanding sign.

6. Buildings with multiple tenants shall be required to submit a uniform signage program (USP) for historic district commission approval. After a USP is approved, tenant sign permits shall be reviewed and approved by the planning, inspections and permitting director.

F. Parking. All uses must provide parking spaces at the following ratios:

1. Retail, offices, restaurants, museums, and similar uses: 1 parking space per 350 square feet of building space;

2. Hotels, motels, guesthouses: 1 parking space per guest room plus one parking space per 350 square feet of other building space; and

3. Dwelling units: 1 parking space per dwelling unit; two parking spaces for dwelling unit if building square footage is greater than 600 square feet. (Ord. 890 5 2 (part), 1998) NOTE: City Council and city manager, clerk, lawye4 planning dept. have all been emailed this week with Citations in law. Please ask them to distribute them to you as I requested.

Greetings Steve,

10/10/2023 Item No.10.
2 While formerly involved and happy to engage with our great City of Folsom and Community on many fronts, these days I’ve slowed almost to a standstill on City involvement with current events and the dreaded COVID on the loose, like many other folks I find myself on self imposed lock-down . However, I have been inspired to speak out and come out of the wood work on this Building proposal for 603 Sutter St., like so many others I know.

Why would this issue galvanize so many and myself to action and prompt us to call, write or speak against this project and building proposal? I’m certain lots of folks will be present for this meeting and you will receive many letters and calls. For so many of us whether we live in the Historic District or not this area represents why we moved here, it stands for the quality of life we have come to find here. This proposed building location is part of a community area that is near and dear too many, an area often referred as the heart of our City. This HD Neighborhood and Sutter Street location has great historical and community significance to most all of us that live in Folsom (and beyond.) Many of us have over the years been inspired to contribute to the HD Sutter St area in a multitude of ways and Celebrate here for many big occasions.

For those of us who care about the Heart of Folsom and the quality of life in the Historic District Neighborhood we are concerned about this oversized proposed building which would be a blight to the area, it’s problematic as to Parking for both the HD Neighborhood and the Sutter St area.

Which we all know is a constant ongoing issue. The proposed design doesn’t mesh with the charming ambience and aesthetics we love in the HD Sutter St or Neighborhood and exceeds the Historic District height standard and more.

It is hard to fathom why the previous similar plans for this site 2 years ago with the same architect is being presented again with this very like design. It was denied largely for the very objectionable negative design features that are now still present and resubmitted!

I hope the developer will be able to work with the HD Community and Neighborhood and see what it is we all love about the heart of our City of Folsom and build something that is accordance with this.That would be a true success, Kathryn Corbett

Hello,
I'm firmly against the size of the current proposed development at 603 Sutter Street and I'm requesting to attend the August 19th Historic District Commission meeting virtually. I look forward to receiving meeting access information from you.
