A. CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING: DESIGNATION OF 467 E. WASHINGTON
BOULEVARD AS A LANDMARK
Recommendation of City Manager: It is recommended that the City
Council:
(1) Acknowledge that the designation of a historic resource is categorically
exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act under Class 8, Actions
by Regulatory Agencies for Protection of the Environment (CEQA Guidelines,
Article 19, Section 15308);
(2) Receive the recommendation from the Historic Preservation
Commission that the property at 467 E. Washington Boulevard qualifies
under Criterion C for designation as a landmark (Pasadena Municipal Code
Section 17.62.040 C) because the house embodies the distinctive
characteristics of a late 19th century house in a vernacular Queen Anne style
from the settlement period of the City's history.
(3) Acknowledge that pursuant to Government Code Section 37361 the
owner of the property (New Macedonia Baptist Church) has submitted a letter
to the City Council asserting that landmark designation would create a
substantial hardship on the religious congregation and deprive it of economic
return on its property, the reasonable use of its property, or the appropriate
use of its property in the furtherance of its religious mission (Attachment D of
the agenda report).
(4) As required by Government Code Section 37361, find that designation
would create a substantial hardship on the owner, and thereby not designate
the property at 467 E. Washington Boulevard as a landmark.
Recommendation of Historic Preservation Commission: On November 5,
2007, at a noticed public hearing, the Historic Preservation Commission
voted unanimously to recommend approval of the designation of 467 E.
Washington Boulevard as a landmark and that the river-rock embankment
wall along the sidewalk be included as a contributing feature to the
designation. The Commission also acknowledged in its recommendation that
the historic setting of the house has changed and it may be relocated on site
or off site.
