Continued Items
(1) DRC No. 4753 -14 — The Pizza Press
• A proposal to alter the storefront and rear elevation of a contributing building in the Plaza
Historic District for use as a restaurant.
• 153 N. Glassell Street, Plaza Historic District
• Staff Contact: Marissa Moshier, (714) 744 -7243, mmoshierkcityoforange.org
• DRC Action: Recommendation to Planning Commission
• Associated Applications: CUP 2949 -14
Marissa Moshier, Associate Planner, presented a project overview consistent with the Staff Report.
Public Comments
Dara Maleki, Ramisons, LLC; Dan Riley, Architect; and Melissa Morgan, Designer, were present to
answer questions from the DRC.
Chair Imboden opened the item to the Committee for discussion.
The Committee discussion focused primarily on the proposed design of the storefront and rear
elevation. Key issues included:
• Accuracy of the proposed drawings and renderings. Each proposed element should be fully
dimensioned.
• Compatibility of the recessed storefront and the sidewalk fenced area with the Plaza Historic
District. In general, the DRC did not consider there to be sufficient evidence of a recessed
storefront historically in this location to justify the recessed storefront as proposed. If the
applicant chooses to return with a proposal for a recessed storefront, the DRC requested
additional documentary evidence of the historic condition of the storefront and additional
details of the proposed storefront and fence.
• Potential alternatives to provide outdoor seating while maintaining the appearance of a
storefront at the building face, including removing the storefront glazing and retaining the
existing bulkhead.
• Proposed treatment of the rear elevation, including the size of the carriage doors, the method
for infilling the area around the proposed carriage doors, the condition and finish of the brick
under the existing stucco, and the treatment of the parapet at the rear elevation.
• Potential to enliven the area at the rear with hardscape or landscape treatments or additional
interface between the restaurant interior and exterior.
• Proposed colors and materials for the storefront, rear elevation, lighting and signage
Committee Member Fox made a motion to continue DRC 4753 -14 based on the discussion of the
issues presented in the staff report, the issues discussed by the DRC, and with the following
recommendations:

• The applicant should consider the compatibility of the storefront design, sidewalk fenced
area, and rear elevation with the Historic District. The proposed storefront design does not
appear to be compatible with the Historic District due to the removal of the bulkhead, recess
of the storefront and fencing on the sidewalk. The applicant should consider alternatives that
retain the appearance of the storefront while accommodating outdoor seating.
• The applicant should revise the proposed rear elevation to show the extent of the existing
historic brick, the sizes of the proposed openings, and the infill of the opening around the
carriage doors with materials that are compatible with, but differentiated from, the historic
brick.
• The applicant shall provide a color and materials board and revised renderings to reflect the
proposed design.
