Obispo as follows:
SECTION 1. Findines, The Council makes the following findings of consistency with
Historic Preservation Program Ordinance eligibility criteria for Master List Historic Resources:
1. The house qualifies for the Master List of Historic Resources based on architectural
criteria since dormer additions added in the 1970's do not affect the ability of the building to convey
its architectural and historical significance due to its overall integrity and characteristics as an
excellent example of a neo-classic building with Queen Anne influences. The property is also
significant architecturally since it is the first commercial building project of John Chapek, a
recognized influential early builder in San Luis Obispo history.
2. The house qualifies for the Master List of Historic Resources based on historical criteria
since Leonard Hill commissioned the building of the structure and lived in the home during the
period he was an influential and active downtown business owner in the first 20 years of the 20th
