NONV, 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 City Council makes the
following findings:
1. The house is eligible for the Master List of Historic Resources because it
satisfies more than one of the evaluation criteria for historic resource listing
described in the Historic Preservation Ordinance, exhibits a high level of
historic integrity, and is more than 50 years old.
2. The house satisfies evaluation criteria for historic resources listing, related to
architectural style and design (§14.01.070 A). It is a rare and unique example
of an early 20th Century owner-built residence that exhibits a transitional
style, away from the ornate decoration of Victorian styles and toward a more
simple and restrained style that would later be employed in the Neoclassical
and Craftsman styles. Its eclectic detailing and craftsmanship is notably
attractive and aesthetically appealing.
3. The house exhibits a high level of historic integrity, and satisfies evaluation
criteria for historic resources listing related to historic integrity (§14.01.070
Q. The structure occupies its original site and the extent of its original

foundation. Its historic character and appearance have been maintained, and
materials and workmanship retained, as expressed by decorated Dutch gables,
flared soffits, plaster siding, notched corner windows, and a centered, recessed
front porch. Only one addition to the house has been constructed, at the rear of
the structure. Only a small portion of the addition is visible, from the east side
of the property, and this portion echoes the historic character of the original
residence.
4. The house is more than 50 years old. A news article printed in the San Luis
Obispo Tribune on March 10, 1905 notes the beginning of the construction of
the residence. The residence is depicted on a Sanborn Map prepared in 1909,
with the note "PLAST'D OUTSIDE", indicating that the house originally had
plaster exterior siding, which is a rare and unique feature for this era.
5. The project is categorically exempt from the provisions of the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), as it is the designation of a historical
resource, an action taken to assure the protection of the environment, as
described in §15308 of the CEQA Guidelines (Actions by Regulatory
Agencies for Protection of the Environment).
SECTION 2. Action. The City Council of the Citv of San Luis Obispo does hereby add
the property located at 1152 Buchon Street to the Master List of Historic Resources as the
historic "Charles E. Strickland House".
SECTION 3. Environmental Determination. The City Council has determined that the
project is categorically exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA), as it is the designation of a historical resource, an action taken to assure the protection
of the environment. as described in §15308 of the CEQA Guidelines (Actions by Regulatory
