OBISPO, CALIFORNIA, REMOVING THE PROPERTY AT 540 BUCHON

WHEREAS, the applicant, Ashley Ludaescher, submitted on October 19, 2021 an
application to remove the property located at 540 Buchon Street (“the Property”) from the
Contributing Properties List of Historic Resources (HIST -0727-2021); and
WHEREAS, the Cultural Heritage Committee of the City of San Luis Obispo
conducted a public hearing via teleconference from the City of San Luis Obispo, California
on January 24, 2022 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 March 15, 2022 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 Integrity Criteria set out in
§ 14.01.070 (C) of the City’s Historic Preservation Ordinance. The primary
dwelling on the property no longer has the integrity to qualify as a Contributing
Historic Resource due to previous alteration.

R 11310
b) 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 City’s Inventory of Historic Resources has
been evaluated by an architectural historian. As summarized in the applicant’s
statement submitted with application HIST -0727-2021, that evaluation
concluded that the primary structure on the property no longer has the integrity
to qualify as a Contributing Historic Resource due to previous alteration, and
that the property is not a candidate for inclusion on the City’s Inventory.
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).
