A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN LUIS
OBISPO, CALIFORNIA, REMOVING THE PROPERTY AT 1136 IRIS
STREET FROM THE CONTRIBUTING PROPERTIES LIST OF
HISTORIC RESOURCES (HIST-0020-2021)
WHEREAS, the applicants, Robert and Michelle Braunschweig, submitted on January 8,
2021 an application to remove the property located at 1136 Iris Street (“the Property”) from the
Contributing Properties List of Historic Resources (HIST -0020-2021); and
WHEREAS, the Cultural Heritage Committee of the City of San Luis Obispo conducted
a public hearing via teleconference from the City of San Luis Obispo, California on February 22,
2021 to consider the application, and recommended that the City Council remove the Property
from the Contributing Properties List of Historic Resources; and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of San Luis Obispo conducted a public hearing
via teleconference on April 6, 2021 for the purpose of considering removal of the Property from
the Contributing Properties List of Historic Resources; and
WHEREAS, notices of said public hearing and meeting were made at the time and in the
manner required by law; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has duly considered all evidence, including the record of
the Cultural Heritage Committee hearing and recommendation, testimony of the applicant and
interested parties, 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. Based upon all the evidence, the Council makes the following
findings:
a) The property is not historically significant under the Integrity criteria set out in
§ 14.01.070 (C) of the City’s Historic Preservation Ordinance. The primary dwelling
on the property no longer has the integrity to qualify as a Contributing Historic
Resource due to previous alteration.
b) The removal of the property from the City’s Contributing Properties List of Historic
Resources is consistent with the Historic Preservation Ordinance because the buildings
on the property lack significance within the historical contexts addressed by the
Evaluation Criteria for Historic Resource Listing set out in § 14.01.070 of the City’s
Historic Preservation Ordinance. The eligibility of the property for inclusion in the
City’s Inventory of Historic Resources has been evaluated by an architectural historian.
As summarized in the applicant’s statement submitted with application HIST-0020-
2021, that evaluation concluded that the primary structure on the property no longer
has the integrity to qualify as a Contributing Historic Resource due to previous
alteration, and that the property is not a candidate for inclusion on the City’s Inventory.

R 11236
SECTION 2. Environmental Review. Consideration of continuing eligibility of this
property for historic listing is exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality
Act (CEQA). The determination of continued eligibility for historic listing is limited to review of
whether the subject site remains eligible for historic resource listing according to the criteria set
forth in the City’s Historic Preservation Ordinance. A determination that the property is not eligible
for historic listing will cause the removal of the property from the City's Inventory of Historic
Resources but will have no direct physical effect on the environment, as the determination does
not approve any physical site development. As such, it is does not have the potential for causing a
significant effect on the environment and is covered by the general rule described in CEQA
Guidelines §15061(b)(3).
SECTION 3. Action. The City Council of the City of San Luis Obispo does hereby
determine that the structures located on the Property do not meet eligibility criteria for listing as
Historic Resources and removes the Property from the Contributing Properties List of Historic
Resources, subject to the following condition:

the following roll call vote:
AYES: Council Member Christianson, Marx, Pease, Vice Mayor Stewart, and
