A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN LUIS
OBISPO, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING REMOVAL OF 1009 MONTEREY
STREET FROM THE CITY'S LIST OF CONTRIBUTING HISTORIC
RESOURCES HIST -2592-2016
WHEREAS, the applicant, on January 7, 2016, submitted an application to remove the
property located at 1009 Monterey Street, San Luis Obispo (the "Property") from the
Contributing List of Historic Resources; and
WHEREAS, the Cultural Heritage Committee of the City of San Luis Obispo at a public
hearing held in the Council Meeting Room of City Hall, 990 Palm Street, San Luis Obispo,
California, on January 25, 2016, and recommended the Council remove the Property from the
Contributing List of Historic Resources; and
WHEREAS, the City Council conducted a public hearing on March 1, 2016, for the
purpose of considering removing the Property from the Contributing List of Historic Resources
(HIST -2592-2016); and,
WHEREAS, the City Council has duly considered all evidence, including the testimony
of the applicants, interested parties, the records of the Cultural Heritage Committee hearing, and
the evaluation and recommendations by staff, presented at said hearing.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the City of San Luis
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:
1. Though the subject building is within the Downtown Historic District, the character
of the building is not historically significant due to its lack of historic and original
architectural features and numerous modifications.
2. The structure no longer retains enough of its historic physical characteristics to
convey its significance or association with the transportation themes of the first half
of the 20th century.
3. The building no longer maintains authenticity and integrity because the building has
been significantly modified over time and the building no longer retains its original
appearance, workmanship, or connection to historic themes of transportation and bus
stations.
4. Significant alternations to the original construction of the structure include
modifications for structural reinforcements, approximately 50 percent of the

storefront fagade has been removed, one window has been removed and the size and
area of additional windows was enlarged, the original large garage door was filled in,
and the bus entrance has been filled in to accommodate a smaller pedestrian entry.
5. The removal of the existing structure from the list of Contributing Historic Structures
is consistent with the Historic Preservation Ordinance because the building does not
meet the criteria for inclusion on the City's list of historic resources.
SECTION 2. Environmental Determination. Section 15061(b)(3) states a project is
exempt from CEQA if the activity is covered by the general rule that CEQA applies only to
projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Since the
project only involves a determination of historic significance, it can be seen with certainty that
there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the
environment.
SECTION 3. Action. The Council of the City of San Luis Obispo does hereby determine
the structure located at 1009 Monterey Street does not qualify for listing as a Historic Resource, and
approves removal of 1009 Monterey Street from the City's list of contributing historic resources.
Upon motion of Council Member Ashbaugh, seconded by Council Member Christianson,
and on the following roll call vote:
AYES: Council Members Ashbaugh, Christianson and Rivoire,
Vice Mayor Carpenter and Mayor Marx
NOES: None
ABSENT: None
The foregoing resolution was adopted this 1St day of March 2016.
