RECOMMENDATION
Forward a recommendation to the Planning Commission regarding the consistency of the
proposed project with the City’s historical preservation polices and standards.
1.0 BACKGROUND
In 2016 the Planning Commission approved a project for redevelopment of the Motel Inn
site with a hotel and restaurant, with accommodations provided in several “bungalow”
buildings, spaces for recreational vehicle (RV) camping, and pre-sited Airstream trailers.
The project was found by the Cultural Heritage Committee to be consistent with the City's
historical preservation policies and standards. Subsequent minor modifications to the
project were approved in 2017 by the Community Development Director and the Planning
Commission. Prior Advisory Body review is summarized below, with links to Advisory
Body Materials (Agenda Reports, Meeting Minutes, and adopted Resolutions) provided
within the table1:

Approved by Administrative Action
Design review of a modification to project; recreate Motel
Inn and Restaurant along with other motor court amenities
Planning Commission
September 27, 2017
(USE-0580-2017)
Adopted Resolution PC-1010-17
Modification to a previously approved Use Permit (USE-
1035-2015) for the Motel Inn Project: re-configure site
design to accommodate Airstream trailers, a restroom
building, bocce court, associated parking, landscaping,
and site improvements (Special Considerations Zone)
The applicant presented a revised project design to the Committee in 2021, in which the
proposed bungalow buildings were replaced by 33 "A-Frame" guestroom buildings, and
more pre-sited Airstream trailers were provided in replacement of the RV parking spaces.
The Cultural Heritage Committee reviewed the project on June 28, 2021 2 and
recommended that the Community Development Director find the project to be
inconsistent with the City's Historic Preservation Ordinance because the proposed
structures failed to preserve the essential form and integrity of the historic property.3 The
Committee provided additional guidance to the applicant, should the applicant decide to
bring a revised project back to the Committee for continued review.
The project design has been revised in response to the Committee's guidance, such that
all guestrooms are now provided within 29 bungalow buildings of a Mission Revival Style,
with no RV spaces or Airstream trailer accommodations proposed (see Project Plans,
Attachment B). The project architect has provided a Project Description (Attachment A),
depiction of exterior colors and materials (Attachment C), and a comparison of the revised
design with both the approved project design and the prior “A-Frame” proposal presented
to the Committee in 2021 (see Attachments D and E).
2.0 DISCUSSION
2.1 Site and Setting
The project site is a 4.19-acre parcel on the south side of Monterey Street at its
intersection with U.S. Highway 101. The highway and its northbound onramp travel along
the northern edge of the site. San Luis Obispo Creek flows along the south and east sides
of the property, with a low-density residential neighborhood, situated along San Luis
Drive, across the creek from the site. Tourist-serving businesses (e.g., Apple Farm Inn,
La Cuesta Inn) operate to the west of the site, within a concentration of lodging and
restaurants at the northern end of Monterey Street.
The property was developed with the Milestone Motel, built in 1924 -1925, designed by
architects Alfred and Arthur Heineman in a Mission Revival architectural style, and
claimed as the first place in the world to call itself a “motel” (see Historic Resources
Inventory, Attachment F).

Item 4a
ARCH-0327-2021 (2223 Monterey)
Cultural Heritage Committee Report – June 27, 2022
It was included as a Master List Resource in the listing of historically significant properties
resulting from the City’s 1983 Historic Resources Survey (Resolution No. 5197). Most of
the original motel complex (most recently known as the Motel Inn), which had been
significantly altered and no longer held historic significance, was demolished in the early
2000s due to extensive deterioration. The remaining historic portions consist of a façade
wall from the original restaurant and portions of the lobby building which include a three -
tiered bell tower with a copper dome (Figure 1, below).
2.2 Project Description
The applicant proposes to develop the property with a n 83-room hotel comprised of a
restaurant and lobby building, 29 bungalow buildings providing guest accommodation,
four maintenance and housekeeping outbuildings, with pool, garden and gathering area
amenities (see Project Description, Attachment A and Project Plans, Attachment B).
The project design currently proposed under this application is a revision of the approved
project design (see Background section, above), which eliminates the RV and Airstream
components, along with a larger lobby and guest room building, and instead provides
guest rooms exclusively in small site-built bungalow structures. In addition, a vegetated
screening wall is sited along the eastern half of the site, adjacent to Highway 101, for
attenuation of highway noise (comparison with prior approval is provided in
Attachments D and E).
3.0 EVALUATION
New construction located on historically listed sites is subject to review by the Cultural
Heritage Committee (Historic Preservation Ordinance § 14.010.030 (C)), following the
City’s Historic Preservation Program Guidelines (HPPG § 3.2). In addition, such work
must conform to the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for the Treatment of Historic
Properties (SOI Standards). The Committee will provide a recommendation to the
Planning Commission regarding the consistency of the proposed project with applicable
historical preservation policies, standards, and guidelines, and may recommend
conditions of approval as appropriate.

Cultural Heritage Committee Report – June 27, 2022
3.1 Historic Preservation Program Guidelines
3.3.1 Historic Resources outside Historic Districts
Listed Historic Resources located outside of historic districts shall be
subject to the same protection and regulations applicable to historic
resources within historic districts.
3.2.2 Architectural compatibility
The CHC reviews development in historic districts for architectural
compatibility with nearby historic resources, and for consistency with
applicable design and preservation policies, [and] standards, ... New
development should not sharply contrast with, significantly block public
views of, or visually detract from, the historic architectural character of
historically designated structures located adjacent to the property to be
developed ...
The property is not located within a designated Historic District but is included in the
Inventory of Historic Resources as a Master List Resource, with two surviving remnants
of the former Motel Inn present on the site: a portion of the lobby bu ilding with a three-
tiered bell tower and a portion of the façade of the original restaurant building. As noted
in plans, the design of the restaurant and lobby building does not change from the
approved project design and this component of the project is not within the scope of
proposed revisions.
Architectural Compatibility. The remnant portions of the lobby and restaurant façade
exhibit characteristics of the Mission Revival style in which the Motel Inn was originally
designed, predominantly of smooth stucco, with multi-gabled red tile roofs, arched
window openings, and colonnade and arcade features. These elements are also
incorporated into the design of the proposed one- and two-story bungalow buildings (see
Elevation Drawings in Section A of Project Plans, Attachment B), which is nearly identical
to the bungalow design for the approved project that was reviewed by the Commission in
2016 and found to be compatible with the character of the surviving remnants of the Motel
Inn. Under this revised project proposal, with the RV spaces and Airstream trailers
eliminated, the Mission Revival bungalow design is carried out throughout the entirety of
the project, providing a cohesive architectural character.

3.2 Secretary of Interior’s Standards
Standard 2: The historic character of a property will be retained and preserved. The removal
of distinctive materials or alteration of features, spaces and spatial relationships that
characterize a property will be avoided.
Standard 9: New additions, exterior alterations, or related new construction will not destroy
historic materials, features, and spatial relationships that characterize the property. The new
work will be differentiated from the old and will be compatible with the historic materials,
features, size, scale and proportion, and massing to protect the integrity of the property and its
environment.
Recommended Not Recommended
Building Site
Identifying, retaining, and preserving features
of the building site that are important in
defining its overall historic character.
Removing or substantially changing buildings
and their features or site features which are
important in defining the overall historic
character of the property so that, as a result,
the character is diminished.
Designing new exterior additions to historic
buildings or adjacent new construction that are
compatible with the historic character of the
site and preserves the historic relationship
between the building or buildings and the
landscape.
Introducing new construction on the building
site which is visually incompatible in terms of
size, scale, design, material, or color, which
destroys historic relationships on the site, or
which damages or destroys important
landscape features
The restaurant façade and bell-tower lobby building are the sole surviving remnants of
the Mission Inn, and they will be retained and incorporated into the project design, without
alteration to the features themselves, to preserve what remains of the property’s historic
character. Use of the site for tourist accommodations is revived by the proposal. As
discussed above, the revised project design exclusively utilizes a Mission Revival style
for all the new bungalow buildings throughout the development, consistent and
compatible with the character of those surviving remnants. Utilizing similar smooth stucco
materials, tile roofing, and deep-set window openings and arched doorways, and one-
and two-story in size, the new bungalow buildings do not introduce any visually
incompatible elements, consistent with the above standards and recommendations.
4.0 ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
A Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) was adopted on prior approval (March 23, 2016)
of the project by the Planning Commission. As revised, the project remains consistent
with the adopted MND because the changes are primarily architectural in nature and do
not result in a change in use or intensification in scale of the project as previously
assessed in the Initial Study associated with the MND. An Addendum to the Initial Study
and MND, reflecting the minor revisions to the project description will be considered by
the Planning Commission with their final action on the revised project design.

RE: ARCH-0321-2021, Motel Inn (2223 Monterey Street)
Dear Mr. Oetzell,
Enclosed are revised plans for the Motel Inn project for consideration under Moderate
Architectural Review as a modification to the previously approved USE-0580-2017 permit.
The Motel Inn is a new hotel honoring the history and Mission Revival architecture of the
original inn that was built on the site in 1925. The proposed hotel maintains portions of
the design from the original historic inn such as a bungalow court and the remaining
existing historic structures including the bell tower, while updating the design to meet
current standards and trends. The Motel Inn will feature guest rooms in one and two story
bungalows, a pool, garden and gathering areas located on the interior of the site. The
proposed plans comply with Ordinance 1651 by adhering to creek setbacks, minimizing
building openings facing the creek, focusing active uses in the center of the site, proposing
low-scale development and providing screening between the buildings and creek.
The permitted Restaurant Building that incorporates the existing historic structures remains
largely unchanged and will serve as the hotel Lobby/Café. It was not a part of the original
application or a part of this revised application.
Revisions from the previous Use Permit include exchanging the 2-story Guestroom/Lobby
Building for additional 2-story bungalow guest units. The previously proposed airstream
units have been eliminated in favor of single-story bungalow guest units arranged around a
court on the east end of the site. All improvements are now proposed to be permanent
structures per CBC and permitted under City of SLO jurisdiction.
•Previously approved application: (55) guestrooms in Bungalows and Hotel Lobby
Building, (26) guest Airstreams and (1) spa Airstream. Total of 81 guestroom units.
•Revised application: (83) guestrooms in one and two story Bungalows. Refer to
Exhibit A (attached) for additional project data comparisons.

The Motel Inn was built in 1924-25. Originally cal.led the Milestone Motel, local stories claim that it was the first place in the wor:ld to call itself
a "motel�� .Alfred Heineman, the brother of Arthur Heineman, designed this distinguished Mission Revival bungaloid. Arthur Heineman has been caJ.led the "Inventor of the California Bungalow Court." Although the building has been remodeled over the years , its dome shaped tower, smooth pla·ster walls make it San Luis Obispo's finest example of the Mission Revival
which pez:meated much'of California building traditions in the first twenty
or thlrty years of this century.
