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 commercial building on
the property satisfies at least one of the evaluation criteria for historic
resource listing described in § 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.

R 11272
b) The commercial building on the subject property satisfies Architectural
Criteria for Style and Design (§§ 14.01.070 (A) (1) & (2)), Historic Criteria
for “History-Person” (§14.01.070 (B) (2)), and Criteria for Integrity
(§§ 14.01.070 (C) (1) & (2)) to a degree that qualifies the property for
designation as a Master List Historic Resource. It conveys a purity of style,
exhibits attractiveness through detailing and craftsmanship, and exhibits
many characteristic features of Western False Front Vernacular style of late
19th- and early 20th Centuries in a manner that expresses interesting
details with notable attractiveness. The building occupies its original site
and retains its characteristic design and materials. The property is
associated with Frank and Alberta Bell, who are considered to be the first
Black grocery owners in the City, and the survival of the premises as a
representation of a Great Migration-era Black business.
SECTION 2. Environmental Determination. The project is categorically exempt
from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Inclusion of the
subject property on the City’s Inventory of Historic Resources does not have the potential
for causing a significant effect on the environment, and so is covered by the general rule
described in § 15061 (b) (3) of the CEQA Guidelines.
