  D.  PUBLIC HEARING: DESIGNATION OF 777 ARDEN ROAD AS A
       LANDMARK
       Recommendation of City Manager:  
       (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) As recommended by the Historic Preservation Commission, find that the
       property at 777 Arden Road meets designation Criterion "C" in Pasadena
       Municipal Code Section 17.62.040 because it embodies the characteristics of
       the Spanish Eclectic style from the Period Revival era of 1920 to 1940 and
       retains a high level of integrity;
       (3) Approve the designation of the property at 777 Arden Road as a
       landmark;
       (4) Adopt a resolution approving a Declaration of Landmark Designation for
       777 Arden Road, Pasadena, California;

       Commission voted unanimously to recommend the approval of the
       designation of 777 Arden road as a landmark.  (The applicants applied for a
