a) The subject property is eligible for inclusion in the City’s Inventory of Historic

b) The dwelling on the subject properties satisfies Architectural Criteria for Style
and Design (§§ 14.01.070 (A) (1) & (2)) to a degree that qualifies the property
for designation as a Master List Historic Resource.
The dwelling conveys a purity of style, exhibits attractiveness through detailing
and craftsmanship, and exhibits many characteristic features of the Neo -
Classical Cottage style in a manner that expresses interesting details with
notable attractiveness. Unique character-defining features that the property
exhibits include an asymmetric unenclosed porch with a single Tuscan column,
a low-pitched bellcast roof, and geometric fenestration design.
SECTION 2. Environmental Determination. The project is categorically exempt
from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Inclusion of the
subject properties on the City’s Inventory of Historic Resources does not have the
potential for causing a significant effect on the environment, and is covered by the general
rule described in § 15061 (b) (3) of the CEQA Guidelines.
