RE: Eastside Auditorium Development
Dear Mr. Hitt,
This letter is intended to let you know what we will need from your company regarding
the East Side Auditorium project. We understand that you are using the Federal
Rehabilitation Tax Credit and plan to restore the building to its original condition. The
MacArthur Park Historic District Commission Staff will need certain information to
make sure all of the materials being used for repair are genuine in order to assure
compliance with the MacArthur Park Historic District standards for repair. If you have
Historic Documentation proving certain materials that would be helpful.
What we will need from you:
• Scale drawings of proposed landscaping and the walkway design
• Scale drawings of the final parking lot design
• Elevations of the building facades
• Details on the type of repair work including
o Doors -designs and materials
o Windows - designs and materials
o Light stanchions designs and materials
Also we have general questions that will need to be addressed regarding the south side
fire escape, and pedestrian railing on the south side of the building. Will those be
repaired or replaced?
Reminder, the historic district guidelines state that parking areas need to be screened
from view by either a fence or shrubbery. The hedges around the south parking lot are an
excellent example of screening and would be encouraged for the new parking area.
If indeed the improvements to the building are deemed as repairs you will only need to
apply for a Certificate of Appropriateness for the construction and screening of the new
parking area.
Feel free to contact our staff with any questions.
Sincerely,
Charles Bloom
Historic District Staff
