WHEREAS, on June 6, 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 -1219-2015;
Tank Farm Center, LLC. 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. Fiiidiiigs.
1. That, as conditioned, the proposed modifications to the existing ranch structures are
consistent with the Historic Preservation Guidelines and Secretary of Interior Standards,
since character -defining features and historic spatial relationships will be maintained.
2. That the proposed new structures are consistent with the Secretary of Interior Standards
because the new structures are differentiated yet complementary and compatible with the
size/scale, massing, and architectural features of the ranch complex and key views of the
existing ranch structures will be maintained.
3. That the proposed new structures are consistent with the Secretary of Interior Standards for
Rehabilitation because the new structures are adjacent to the existing ranch 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.
