  A.  PUBLIC HEARING: NOMINATION OF THE PODOCARPUS GRACILIOR,
       FERN PINE, 1180 NORTH ARROYO BOULEVARD, FOR LANDMARK
       TREE DESIGNATION
       Recommendation of City Manager:  
       (1) Acknowledge that the application for designation of the Podocarpus
       gracilior (Fern Pine), at 1180 North Arroyo Boulevard, as a landmark is
       categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (Class 8);  
       (2) Find that the Podocarpus gracilior meets criterion for designation of a
       landmark tree in Section 8.52.020 of the Pasadena Municipal Code, as a
       "defining landmark or significant outstanding feature" of the North Arroyo
       area; 
       (3) Adopt a resolution designating the Podocarpus gracilior at 1180 North
       Arroyo Boulevard as a landmark (Attachment 1 of the agenda report);

       Recommendation of the Historic Preservation Commission:   The
       Commission voted 4 to 1 to recommend that the City Council designate the
       Podocarpus gracilior as a landmark.  In its review of the application on
       July 21, 2003, the Historic Preservation Commission found that the
       Podocarpus gracilior qualifies as a landmark for the following reason: It
       represents a defining landmark or significant outstanding feature of a
       neighborhood [Section 8.52.020(G)].
