       Findings for Compliance with the Tree Protection Ordinance
       Acknowledge that none of the trees on the site qualifies as a protected
       native, specimen, or landmark tree.
       Findings for Concept Design Approval
       (1) Acknowledge that the memorandum from Historic Resources Group
       (Attachment E of the agenda report) documents the rehabilitation/restoration
       of the Raymond Theater building and analyzes its compliance with the
       Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation & Guidelines for
       Rehabilitating Historic Buildings.
       (2) Find that the proposed rehabilitation and restoration of the exterior of
       the Raymond Theater building is consistent with the Secretary of the
       Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation & Guidelines for Rehabilitating Historic
       Buildings;
       (3) Find that the design of the adjacent new construction - if modified to
       comply with the recommended conditions of approval - is consistent with the
       Citywide Design Principles in the General Plan, the Design Guidelines for the
       Central District Specific Plan, the Purposes of Design Review in the
       Municipal Code, the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation &
       Guidelines for Rehabilitating Historic Buildings (new construction adjacent to

       the rehabilitation/restoration of the theater and the adjacent new construction
       with the conditions in Attachment A of the agenda report, which include three
       conditions that differ from the recommendation from the Design Commission: 
       1) retaining without modification, the environmental mitigation measure for
       treatment of the exterior brickwork on the Raymond Theater building; 2)
       approving the proposed installation of 12 skylights in the roof of the theater
       auditorium; and 3) omitting the requirement that Pasadena Heritage
       "must...sign off" on its easement before a 50% design review of the project.
       Recommendation of the Design Commission: The recommendation from
       the Design Commission to approve the project with conditions includes all of
