CLARK RESIDENCE, 1780
DEVON ROAD, FOR DESIGNATION AS A LANDMARK
Recommendation of City Manager:

is categorically exempt from
the California Environmental Quality Act
(Class 31);

Commission;

(Attachment 1 of the agenda report);

declaration of designation
(Attachment 2 of the agenda report); and
(5) Direct the City Clerk to record the
declaration with the Los Angeles
County Recorder.

designation as a landmark and approve the
designation.
307k
B. PUBLIC HEARING: NOMINATION
OF ST. LUKE MEDICAL CENTER, 2632
EAST WASHINGTON BOULEVARD, FOR DESIGNATION
AS A
LANDMARK
Recommendation of City Manager:
(1) Acknowledge that the application for
designation of St. Luke Medical
Center, 2632 East Washington Boulevard, as
a landmark is categorically
exempt from the California Environmental
Quality Act (Class 31);
(2) Find that the original hospital block,
convent and chapel of St. Luke
Medical Center meet criteria A, D, E, and F
for landmark designation in
Section 2.75.130 of the Pasadena Municipal
Code;
(3) Find that the 1945 annex is of lesser
importance than the grouping of
the hospital block, convent, and chapel
because its smaller scale, its
subordinate location on a secondary
elevation, and its simpler architectural
detailing;
(4) Omit the 1945 annex from the landmark
designation;
(5) Adopt a resolution designating the
original hospital block, convent and
chapel of St. Luke Medical Center as a
landmark (Attachment 1 of the
agenda report);
(6) Authorize the Mayor to execute the
declaration of designation
(Attachment 2 of the agenda report); and
(7) Direct the City Clerk to record the
declaration with the Los Angeles
County Recorder.
Recommendation of Cultural Heritage
Commission: The Commission
voted unanimously to recommend that the
City Council find that the original
hospital block, convent, chapel, and rear
annex of St. Luke Medical Center
meet the criteria for designation as a
landmark and approve the designation
of this entire grouping of buildings,
including the annex. This differs from the
staff recommendation to designate only the
original hospital block, convent
and chapel as a landmark and to exclude the
annex because of its location,
its lack of stature and interest, and its
potential to inhibit redevelopment
alternatives.
