       detailed analysis of the building program and financial commitments to the
       proposed parking garage.  The Commission is recommending Council
       approval subject to the Conditions of Approval attached to the agenda report.
       Recommendation of the Historic Preservation Commission:   On
       January 18, 2005, the Historic Preservation Commission reviewed the
       proposed Master Development Plan. The Commission recommended that the
       Master Development Plan specify that the three historic classroom buildings
       (buildings #3, 19, 20) be relocated on campus and that any proposal to move
       the structures elsewhere in the city be strongly discouraged and would
       require review and approval from the Historic Preservation Commission for
       the rehabilitation of the buildings off site.  The three structures cited for
       relocation to another site on campus during construction of the subterranean
       garage are attributed to important Pasadena architects.  The Commission's
       recommendation has been incorporated into the environmental mitigation
       plan.
       Recommendation of the Design Commission:   On February 14, 2005, the
       Design Commission reviewed the proposed Master Development Plan for
       consistency with the Principles of Design Review and the Citywide Design
       Guidelines.  The Commission recommended that the Master Plan identify a
       location on campus for the relocated historic buildings and depict said
       location on all figures and exhibits.  The Commission's recommendation has
       been incorporated into the Conditions of Approval.
