Obispo as follows:
SECTION 1. Findings. The Council makes the following findings of consistency with
Historic Preservation Program Ordinance eligibility criteria for the Contributing List of Historic
Resources:
a) Though the subject building is within the Downtown Historic District, the
character of the building is not historically significant due to its lack of significant
architectural features and substantial fagade alterations.
b) The property is not associated with any significant historical person groups or
events in the City's history.
c) The subject building does not meet the evaluation criteria for listing as outlined in
the Historic Preservation Ordinance.
d) The removal of the existing structure from the list of Contributing Historic
Structures is consistent with the Historic Preservation Ordinance because it does
not constitute removal of a building that has significant character - defining
features that support the character of the Downtown Historic District.
