RESOLUTION NO. 11365 (2022 SERIES)
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN LUIS
OBISPO, CALIFORNIA, ADDING THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 1421
GARDEN STREET TO THE MASTER LIST OF HISTORIC RESOURCES
AS “THE D.M. AND CARRIE PROPER MEREDITH HOUSE”
(HIST-0337-2022)
WHEREAS, the applicants, Beau and Jen Narragon, filed an application on
June 24, 2022, for review of the inclusion of the property at 1421 Garden Street on the
City’s Master List of Historic Resources; and
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 August 22, 2022 and recommended that the City Council
add the property at 1421 Garden Street to the Master List of Historic Resources; and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of San Luis Obispo conducted a public
hearing on October 4, 2022 for the purpose of considering the request to add the property
to the Inventory of Historic Resources; and
WHEREAS, notices of said public hearings 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 recommendation presented by
staff.
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 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.

b) The subject property satisfies Architectural Criteria for Style and Design
(§§ 14.01.070 (A)), Historic Criteria for History-Person (§ 14.01.070 (B)),
and Criteria for Integrity (§§ 14.01.070 (C)) to a degree that qualifies it for
designation as a Master List Historic Resource. The dwelling on the site and
its subsequent additions convey a purity of style, exhibit attractiveness
through detailing and craftsmanship, and embody a sophisticated and
articulated example of Heimatstil architecture of the Krüppelwalmstil or
Jerkinhead subtype in a manner that expresses interesting details with
notable attractiveness. The building and property are associated with David
Milton Meredith, an early San Luis Obispo leader who influenced the city’s
development in education, finance, and religion. The building occupies its
original site, and apart from minor apartment additions from the period of
significance, retains a largely unaltered exterior, with its characteristic
design and materials.
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.
