APPLICANT: Richard & Adian Lenz REPRESENTATIVE: Timothy Becher
RECOMMENDATION
Provide a recommendation to the Community Development Director regarding the
consistency of the proposed new construction, as revised, with the City’s Historic
Preservation Ordinance (SLOMC Ch. 14.01).
1.0 BACKGROUND
The applicant proposes to construct an addition to the Master List Biddle House (see
Project Description, Attachment A), to install an elevator for an accessible connection
between each of the three floors of the building.
On March 28, 2022 the Committee reviewed1 Architectural Review application
ARCH-0121-2022 for the proposed elevator tower addition. A subcommittee was
appointed to review minor refinements to be made to the project design according to
guidance provided by the Committee.2 On April 6, 2022 the subcommittee reviewed
revised plans and found the revisions consistent with Committee guidance. Based on the
positive recommendation of the Commission, the Community Development Director
approved the application on April 29, 2022.
In July of this year the applicant requested that the application approval be modified
(under this application MOD-0353-2023) in order to accommodate a further revision to
the project design. As discussed in this report, the revision is limited to the southwest
corner of the building and to the ground floor, extending the Parlor at the back of the
building out an additional five feet to the west, to accommodate a Breakfast Nook.
As provided by Sections 14.01.030(B)(7) & (C)(4) of the City’s Historic Preservation
Ordinance, the proposed revision is being referred to the Cultural Heritage Committee
(CHC) for its recommendation to the Community Development Director as to the
consistency of the revised project design with historical preservation policies for
alterations and additions involving listed resources and properties within historic districts.

2.0 DISCUSSION
Site and Setting
The property is a residential parcel on the south side of Pismo Street between Nipomo
and Beach Streets, within the Old Town Historic District, one of the City’s oldest
residential neighborhoods, built up historically around the turn of the twentieth centu ry,
with older structures dating back to the 1880s. It is developed with a single -family
dwelling, known as “The Biddle House,” constructed between 1889 and 1897, a small
guest cottage, and a larger Carriage House over a garage, built in 2007. The property
was included in the Master Inventory of Historic Structures compiled in the 1983 Historic
Resources Survey Completion Report. In 1998, the current owners entered into an
Historical Property Preservation (Mills Act) Agreement with the City, for restoration and
maintenance of the historic property in exchange for property tax relief.
Biddle House
As described in the Historic Resources
Inventory for the property (Attachment B),
The Biddle House is a three-story building
on a raised stone foundation with steeply
pitched gables covered with composition
shingles. It is noted as “high Victorian” in
style, exhibiting a variety of architectural
influences including Queen Anne and
Eastlake in its detailing, with Eastern
Stick and Carpenter Gothic in details
along eaves and stickwork. In addition,
the property is noted for its association
with the Biddle family, an influential
ranching family prominent in the City’s
early history.
Project Description
The approved elevator tower addition to the southwest corner of the Biddle House
accommodates an elevator to provide barrier-free access for the occupants between the
floors of the three-story house. The proposed revision extends the ground floor Parlor at
the southwest corner of the building out an additional five feet, toward the elevator tower,
to create a Breakfast Nook. As show by comparing approved elevation drawings against
the revised design (see Project Plans, Attachment C, and Figures 2 & 3 below), the
revision results in only a minor change to the appearance of the project at the South
(Rear) Elevation of the building, where the Breakfast Nook is seen extending a bit further
to the left side of the building. At the West (Side) Elevation, the additio n is barely
perceptible, as the wall plane is extended toward the viewer, maintaining essentially the
same appearance. The appearance of the North (Front) Elevation and East (Side)
Elevations are unaffected.

3.0 EVALUATION
Proposed work for minor additions and alterations to historically listed structures must be
consistent with guidelines for Changes to Historic Resources set out in § 3.4 of the City’s
Historic Preservation Program Guidelines. These guidelines are concerned with the
retention of character-defining features of the structure and its integrity, and with
consistency and compatibility in form, style, and character. They also require that the
work be consistent with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for the Treatment of
Historic Properties.3

Cultural Heritage Committee Report – August 28, 2023
Historic Preservation Program Guidelines
Alterations to Historic Resources
§ 3.4.1 (d)
Additions
Additions to listed historic structures should maintain the
structure’s original architectural integrity and closely match the
building’s original architecture, or match additions that have
achieved historic significance in their own right, in terms of scale,
form, massing, rhythm, fenestration, materials, color and
architectural details
§ 3.4.1 (f)
Consistency required
Alterations to listed historic resources shall be approved only
upon finding that the proposed work is consistent with the
Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for the Treatment of Historic
Properties, […] General Plan policies, the Historic Preservation
Ordinance, and these Guidelines.
§ 3.4.2
Percent of historic
resource to be
preserved.
Alterations of historically-listed buildings shall retain at least 75%
of the original building framework, roof, and exterior bearing walls
and cladding, in total, and reuse original materials as feasible.
Proposed alterations of greater than 25% of the original building
framework, roof, and exterior walls will be subject to the review
process for demolitions.
§ 3.4.3
Retention of character-
defining features
Alterations of historically-listed buildings shall retain character
defining features. New features […] should be completed in a
manner that preserves the original architectural character, form,
scale, and appearance of the building.
§ 3.4.4
Exterior building
changes
Exterior changes to historically-listed buildings or resources
should not introduce new or conflicting architectural elements
and should be architecturally compatible with the original and/or
prevailing architectural character of the building, its setting and
architectural context. Additions to historic buildings shall comply
with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards to complement and
be consistent with the original style of the structure. Building
materials used to replicate character-defining features shall be
consistent with the original materials in terms of size, shape,
quality and appearance. However, original materials are not
required.
The proposed elevator addition is sited and designed in a manner intended to preserve
the integrity of the historical primary dwelling. It is placed at the rear corner of the existing
building, toward the rear of the site, on one of the less-visible portions of the building, as
seen from the public right-of-way. More than 75% of the original structure is retained. As
more fully discussed in this report, the Breakfast Nook extension proposed under the
revised project design is similarly intended to achieve consistency with the Secretary of
the Interior’s Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties, complementing the
original style of the structure, and introducing no conflicting architectural elements.

Item 4a
MOD-0353-2023 (559 Pismo)
Cultural Heritage Committee Report – August 28, 2023
Secretary of the Interior’s Standards (Rehabilitation)
Standards for Rehabilitation
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.
5. Distinctive materials, features, finishes and construction techniques or examples of
craftsmanship that characterize a property will be preserved.
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.
The Secretary of Interior’s Standards provide guidance on rehabilitation 4 of historic
buildings, including approaches to work treatments and techniques that are either
consistent (“Recommended”) or inconsistent (“Not Recommended”) with the Standards,
specific to various features of historic buildings and sites. The property and building will
continue to be used for residential purposes. The proposed elevator tower addition has
been designed in a manner intended to exhibit compatibility in size and proportion with
the historic dwelling, to preserve the building’s distinctive wood siding, detailing, and
windows, and thereby retain the property’s historic character. The proposed revision does
not alter this compatibility and affects none of the building’s character-defining features.
Wood
Recommended Not Recommended
Identifying, retaining and preserving wood
features that are important in defining the
overall historic character of the building
(such as siding, cornices, brackets, window
and door surrounds, and steps) and their
paints, finishes, and colors.
Removing or substantially changing wood
features which are important in defining the
overall historic character of the building so
that, as a result, the character is diminished.
4 Rehabilitation is defined as the act or process of making possible a compatible use for a property through
repair, alterations, and additions while preserving those portions or features which convey its historical,
cultural, or architectural values. The Rehabilitation Standards acknowledge the need to alter or add to a
historic building to meet continuing or new uses while retaining the building’s historic charac ter. (SOI
Standards, pg. 3)
Page 13 of 26
Item 4a
MOD-0353-2023 (559 Pismo)
Cultural Heritage Committee Report – August 28, 2023
Roofs
Recommended Not Recommended
Identifying, retaining, and preserving roofs
and their functional and decorative features
that are important in defining the overall
historic character of the building. The form of
the roof is significant, as are its decorative
and functional features, roofing material, and
size, color, and patterning.
Removing or substantially changing roofs
which are important in defining the overall
historic character of the building so that, as a
result, the character is diminished.
Windows
Recommended Not Recommended
Identifying, retaining, and preserving
windows and their functional and decorative
features that are important to the overall
character of the building. The window
material and how the window operates […]
are significant, as are its components […]
and related features, such as shutters.
Removing or substantially changing windows
or window features which are important in
defining the overall historic character of the
building so that, as a result, the character is
diminished.
Under the approved plans for the elevator tower addition, portions of the original wood
siding and detailing will have to be removed to accommodate the elevator addition but
are retained and re-used in the new construction. The proposed Breakfast Nook
extension, however, only affects a limited portion of a 1997 kitchen addition, involving
none of the original wood features. It does not affect original roof forms or roofing
materials and its design employs the same roof form, slope, and material of the existing
kitchen addition, preserving compatibility with the historical and architectural character of
the building. Similarly, the extension does not affect existing windows. New window
openings would follow the existing pattern of vertical sash windows and decorative trim.
New Exterior Additions
Recommended Not Recommended
Constructing a new addition on a secondary
or non-character-defining elevation and
limiting its size and scale in relationship to
the historic building.
Constructing a new addition on or adjacent
to a primary elevation of the building which
negatively impacts the building’s historic
character.
Designing a new addition that is compatible
with the historic building.
Designing a new addition that is significantly
different and, thus, incompatible with the
historic building.

Item 4a
MOD-0353-2023 (559 Pismo)
Cultural Heritage Committee Report – August 28, 2023
The Breakfast Nook expansion is small, less than 100 square feet in area, and extends
just five feet from the existing kitchen addition, to within two feet of the western wall plane
of the new elevator tower. It has been designed for compatibility with the historic building,
continuing the existing form and materials of the 1997 kitchen addition.
Summary
The design for the elevator tower addition, as revised to accommodate a Breakfast Nook
extension to the 1997 kitchen addition, remains situated at the rear corner of the existing
building, on a less visible building elevation, reducing its visual impact, and designed to
a form and scale compatible with that of the existing building. The proposed extension
does not alter the plans for the elevator tower, only affects a small portion of the 1997
kitchen addition at the rear of the building and expands that later addition using existing
building forms and materials. These aspects of the revised project design provide the
basis for a recommendation regarding the consistency of the proposed work with
applicable historical preservation polices, standards, and guidelines.
4.0 ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Construction of an addition to an existing structure is categorically exempt from CEQA
environmental review, as Existing Facilities (Guidelines § 15301 (e)).
5.0 ACTION ALTERNATIVES
1. Staff Recommendation: Recommend that the Community Development Director find
the project consistent with the City's historical preservation policies, with any
suggested conditions of approval necessary to achieve such consistency.
2. Continue review to another date with direction to staff and applicant.
3. Recommend that the Community Development Director find the project inconsistent
with historical preservation policies, citing specific areas of inconsistency

Re: Modification to ARCH-0121-2022
Elevator addition to the Biddle House
559 Pismo Street, San Luis Obispo, California
Project Description
We are requesting a modification of the project approved as ARCH-0121-2022.
In the process of construction of the Elevator addition project (BLDG-3414-2022), it has occurred
to us, now that the exterior door has been removed, that an extension of the kitchen nook
adjacent to the elevator would make the kitchen and dining nook area more functional.
This single-story area of the house was added approximately thirty years ago to the back side of
the kitchen as part of the restoration of the original house.
The proposed extension is to the rear of, and the view of it is blocked from the street by, the new
elevator structure. The west exterior elevation will be identical to the existing elevation, and the
south elevation will be the same single-story profile, extended five feet to the west.
It is proposed that the existing south windows, siding, and trim will be re-used or identically
matched. On the south elevation there will be two windows added, which match the existing. And
the siding and trim details will be continued. Colors of the new roofing, and the body and trim of
the walls will be matching the existing.
This proposed modification of the project is, for the Owners, a continuation of approximately thirty
years of exemplary stewardship and fastidious care of what they consider to be as much a
mission as a property. In every project that has been undertaken here, they have gone above
and beyond the necessary expenditures of time and resources to preserve the Biddle House as
the architectural treasure which it is. This project is a continuation of our goal of maintaining the
essence of the original architectural intentions of the house, as detailed in our previous application
project description letter.
Sincerely,
Timothy B. Becher, AIA

This three story "high Victorian" house was constructed between 1889 and
1897 for the winow of John Biddle. He died inl891. The Biddles were an
influential ranching family in .the county. Mrs. Biddle and her children
occupied a house in back of where the present structure now sta..-ids. The
Biddle house is important for both its historical association with a
prominent family and its meritorious architecture, the style of which
incorporates profuse stick motifs. Its actual design, however, is proto
typic�lly Victorian-Carpenter Gothic Revival, in particular. The detailing
is largely Eastlake and Queen Anne, such as the spindled porch. Of note
is the fact that this house, in keeping with general 19th century building
trends in the area, was constructed quite late for its style. In contrast,
a house of this sort may have appeared in San Francisco in the early 1880's
or even 1870's.
