NOW, 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:
a) The subject property is eligible for inclusion in the City’s Inventory of Historic
Resources as a Master List Resource because the dwelling on the property satisfies
at least one of the evaluation criteria for historic resource listing described in the §
14.01.070 of the City’s Historic Preservation Ordinance (HPO), exhibits a high
degree of historic integrity, and is more than 50 years old.
b) The dwelling on the subject properties satisfies evaluation criteria related to
architectural style (HPO §14.01.070 (A)). It conveys a purity of style, exhibits
attractiveness through detailing and craftsmanship, and is a rare example within the
City of the Italianate Style. The building occupies its original site, with its exterior
largely unaltered, and retains its characteristic design and materials, satisfying
criteria for Integrity (HPO § 14.01.070 (C)).

SECTION 2. Environmental Determination. The project is categorically exempt from the
provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Inclusion of the subject

significant effect on the environment, and so is covered by the general rule described in
§ 15061 (b) (3) of the CEQA Guidelines.
SECTION 3. Action. The City Council of the City of San Luis Obispo does hereby
include the property located at 1789 Santa Barbara Avenue to the Master List of Historic Resources
as “The Lozelle and Katie Flickinger Graham House.”
