RESOLUTION NO. 11374 (2022 SERIES)
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN LUIS
OBISPO, CALIFORNIA, REMOVING THE PROPERTY AT 1720 MORRO
STREET FROM THE INVENTORY OF HISTORIC RESOURCES
(HIST-0495-2022)
WHEREAS, the applicant, Niels Udsen, submitted on August 31, 2022 an
application to remove the property located at 1720 Morro Street (“the Property”) from the
Contributing Properties List of Historic Resources (HIST-0495-2022); 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 October 24, 2022 and recommended that the City Council
remove the property at 1720 Morro Street from the Contributing List of Historic
Resources; and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of San Luis Obispo conducted a public
hearing on November 15, 2022 for the purpose of considering the request to remove the
property from 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 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 does not possess the historic and
architectural integrity to qualify as a Contributing Historic Resource due to
previous alterations that have impaired the integrity of the Streamline
Colonial dwelling on the property.

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 building on the property lacks 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-0495-2022, 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 alterations, and that the property is not a
candidate for inclusion on the City’s Inventory.
SECTION 2. Environmental Determination. 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).
