WHEREAS, the Cultural Heritage Committee of the City of San Luis Obispo conducted
a public hearing in the Council Hearing Room of City Hall, 990 Palm Street, San Luis Obispo,
California, on July 24, 2017, pursuant to a proceeding instituted under ARCH -0733-2017, Greg
Wynn, applicant; and
WHEREAS, notices of said public hearing were made at the time and in the manner
required by law; and
WHEREAS, the Cultural Heritage Committee has duly considered all evidence, including
the testimony of the applicant, interested parties, and the evaluation and recommendations by staff,
presented at said hearing.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the Cultural Heritage Committee of the
City of San Luis Obispo as follows:
Section 1. Findinars. Based upon all evidence, the Cultural Heritage Committee makes the
following findings:
1. The project is consistent with relevant Secretary of Interior Standards for Rehabilitation
because the addition will be compatible with, and differentiated from, the original historic
structure and will preserve character defining features and historic integrity.
2. The project is consistent with Historic Preservation Program Guidelines section 3.4.1(d),
3.4.3, and 3.4.4 because the proposed addition complements the original structure's historic
character through compatibility with its form, massing, color, and materials, and preserves
the original architectural character of the building.
3. The project is consistent with Historic Preservation Program Guidelines section 3.4.2,
because the construction of the proposed addition to the historic structure does not constitute
removal of significant character -defining features and retains at least 75% of the original
building framework, roof, and exterior bearing walls and cladding, in total, and reuses
original materials as feasible.
Section 2. Environmental Review. The project is exempt from environmental review under
Section 15332 of the CEQA Guidelines, because the project site is surrounded by urban uses and
is consistent with the general plan land use designation. The approval of the project would not
result in any significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality. The project
will not result in a substantial adverse change to the significance of a historical resource
(15300.2(f)).
