       Recommendation of City Manager: It is recommended that the City

       Cordova Street, known as Whispering Waters, is significant under Criterion
       "C" for designation as a landmark (Pasadena Municipal Code Section
       17.62.040) because the property is a good intact example of the work of
       developer Lionel V. Mayell (under the title Lionel Mayell Enterprises), who
       pioneered the development of own-your-own apartments in California during
       the mid-twentieth century, and because it embodies the distinctive
       characteristics of the modern garden-apartment property type as applied to a
       modified mid-rise apartment building, and because of the incorporation of the
       unique water feature as a landscape element;      
       (3) Approve the designation of the property at 1000 East Cordova Street as
       a landmark;
       (4) Adopt a resolution approving a Declaration of Landmark Designation for
       1000 East Cordova Street, Pasadena, California; 
       (5) Authorize the Mayor to execute the Declaration of Landmark
       Designation for 1000 East Cordova Street, Pasadena, California; and
       (6) Direct the City Clerk to record the declaration with the Los Angeles
       County Recorder.
       Recommendation of Historic Preservation Commission: On     
       September 17, 2007, at a noticed public hearing, the Historic Preservation
       Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of the designation of

       Municipal Code Section 17.62.040.
