ATTACHMENTS DATED JANUARY 25, 2016 (2223 MONTEREY
STREET – ARCH-2363-2015)
WHEREAS, on January 25, 2016, 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, pursuant to a proceeding instituted under application ARCH-
2363-2015; Motel Inn L.P. applicant; and
WHEREAS, notices of said public hearing were made at the time and in the manner
required by law; and
WHEREAS, the Cultural Heritage Committee has duly considered all evidence,
including the testimony of the applicant, interested parties, and the evaluation and
recommendations by staff, presented at said hearing.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the Cultural Heritage Committee of the
City of San Luis Obispo as follows:
SECTION 1. Findings.
1. That the proposed new structures on the Historic Motel Inn site are consistent with the
Historic Preservation Guidelines and Secretary of Interior Standards for Rehabilitation, since
historic character-defining features will be retained because the proposed structures are
located approximately 20-feet behind the historic structures with no proposed modification to
the historic structures.
2. That the proposed new structures are consistent with the Secretary of Interior Standards for
Rehabilitation because the new construction is differentiated yet complimentary and
compatible with the size/scale, massing, and architectural features of the historic motel and
project site.
3. That the proposed new structures are consistent with the Secretary of Interior Standards for
Rehabilitation because the new additions are adjacent to the historic structures and if
removed in the future will leave the form and integrity of the historic property/environment
unimpaired.
SECTION 2. Environmental Review. The Cultural Heritage Committee finds that the
Initial Study of Environmental Impact and resultant Mitigated Negative Declaration properly
characterizes the project’s potentially significant impacts relative to historic/cultural resources,
and that the incorporated mitigations measures appropriately ensure that potentially significant

impacts are mitigated to a less than significant level.
SECTION 3. Action. The Committee hereby recommends approval of application
ARCH-2363-2015, subject to the following conditions.
Conditions
1. The project shall be in accordance with the mitigations measures identified in the draft
Mitigated Negative Declaration including the following:
a. Prior to issuance of construction permits a monitoring plan in conformance with
requirements of City Archaeological Preservation Program Guidelines shall be
submitted and approved by the Community Development Director. The monitoring
plan shall be submitted by a City approved subsurface archaeologist and all
monitoring and construction work shall be carried out consistent with the approved
monitoring plan. In the event excavations or any ground disturbance activities
encounter significant paleontological resources, archaeological resources, or
cultural materials, then construction activities, which may affect them, shall cease
until the extent of the resource is determined and the Community Development
Director approves appropriate protective measures or mitigation in conformance
with Archaeological Resource Preservation Program Guidelines section 4.60. If
pre-historic Native American artifacts are encountered, a Native American monitor
should be called in to work with the archaeologist to document and remove the
items. Disposition of artifacts shall comply with state and federal laws. A note
concerning this requirement shall be included on all relevant sheets with ground
disturbance activities with clear notes and callouts (Mitigation Measure CR-1).
On motion by Committee Member Kincaid, seconded by Committee Member Larrabee, and on
the following roll call vote:
AYES: Committee Members Baer, Brajkovich, Hill, Papp, and Walthert
NOES: None.
