OBISPO, CALIFORNIA, REMOVING THE PROPERTY AT 644
MOUNTAIN VIEW STREET FROM THE CONTRIBUTING
PROPERTIES LIST OF HISTORIC RESOURCES (644 MOUNTAIN VIEW
ST, HIST-0531-2019)
WHEREAS, the applicant, Kimberly Snyder, submitted on August 5, 2019, an application
to remove the property located at 644 Mountain View Street ("the Property") from the
Contributing Properties List of Historic Resources (HIST-0531-2019); and
WHEREAS, the Cultural Heritage Committee of the City of San Luis Obispo conducted
a public hearing in the Council Hearing Room, Room 9, of City Hall, 990 Palm Street, San Luis
Obispo, California on October 28, 2019 to consider the application, and recommended that the
City Council remove the Property from the Contributing Properties List of Historic Resources; and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of San Luis Obispo conducted a public hearing
in the Council Chamber of City Hall, 990 Palm Street, San Luis Obispo, California on December 3,
2019 for the purpose of considering removal of the Property from the Contributing Properties List
of Historic Resources; and
WHEREAS, notices of said public hearing and meeting were made at the time and in the
manner required by law; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has duly considered all evidence, including the record of
the Cultural Heritage Committee hearing and recommendation, testimony of the applicant and
interested parties, and the evaluation and recommendations by staff presented at said hearing.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the City of San Luis Obispo
as follows:
SECTION 1. Findings. Based upon all the evidence, the Council makes the following
findings:
a) The property is not historically significant under the Architectural Criteria set out in
§ 14.01.070 (A) of the City's Historic Preservation Ordinance. Modifications to the
primary structure on the property have diminished the ability of the building to convey
a pure form of its architectural style. The building is not a rare example of the Colonial
Revival style, nor does this style represent a particular social milieu or period of the
community, as it was widely popular in the region and across the country during the
early 20 1h Century. The building does not exhibit any particular expression of artistic
merit, details, or craftsmanship. No significant architect is associated with the building.

b) The property is not historically significant under the Historic Criteria set out in
§ 14.01.070 (B) of the City's Historic Preservation Ordinance. The property is not
associated with persons significant to the community as public leaders, public servants,
famous persons, or persons making outstanding contributions to local affairs or
institutions, whose contributions stand above other active and successful persons of the
era. It was not associated with any landmark, famous, or first-of-kind event or unique,
important, or interesting contribution to the City. It is associated with ongoing
residential development of the City, but not with early, first, secondary, or major
patterns of local history.
c) The removal of the property from the City's Contributing Properties List of Historic
Resources is consistent with the Historic Preservation Ordinance because the buildings
on the property lack significance within the historical contexts addressed by the
Evaluation Criteria for Historic Resource Listing set out in § 14.01.070 of the City's
Historic Preservation Ordinance. The eligibility of the property for inclusion in the
California Register of Historical Resources and in the City's Inventory of Historic
Resources has been formally evaluated by an architectural historian. As described in
historic resource evaluation prepared for the property, the primary structure on the
property does not appear eligible for inclusion in the California Register, and the
evaluation supports the conclusion that the property is not a candidate for inclusion on
the City's Inventory, and is not a historical resource for the purposes of the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
SECTION 2. Environmental Review. Consideration of continuing eligibility of this
property for historic listing is exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality
Act (CEQA). The determination of continued eligibility for historic listing is limited to review of
whether the subject site remains eligible for historic resource listing according to the criteria set
forth in the City's Historic Preservation Ordinance. A determination that the property is not eligible
for historic listing will cause the removal of the property from the City's Inventory of Historic
Resources but will have no direct physical effect on the environment, as the determination does
not approve any physical site development. As such, it is does not have the potential for causing a
significant effect on the environment and is covered by the general rule described in CEQA
Guidelines § 15061 (b )(3 ).
