16.    PUBLIC HEARING: DESIGNATION OF THE HARRY FITZGERALD BUILDING AT 489 EAST COLORADO BOULEVARD AS A LANDMARK
         Recommendation:
It is recommended that the City Council:
        (1)
     
Find that the designation of a historic resource is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15308, Class 8 of the CEQA Guidelines pertaining to Actions by Regulatory
        Agencies for Protection of the Environment and there are no features that distinguish this project from others in the exempt class, and therefore, there are no unusual circumstances;

        (2)
     
Find that the Harry Fitzgerald Building at 489 E. Colorado Boulevard meets Criterion C as a landmark pursuant to Pasadena Municipal Code (PMC) Section 17.62.040.D.2.c because it embodies the distinctive characteristics
        of the Georgian Revival and Neoclassical architectural styles and represents the work of local notable architectural firm Bennett & Haskell, whose work is of significance to the City;

        (3)
     
Adopt a resolution approving a Declaration of Landmark Designation for 489 E. Colorado Boulevard, Pasadena, California;
        (4)
     
Authorize the Mayor to execute a Declaration of Landmark Designation for 489 E. Colorado Boulevard, Pasadena, California; and
        (5)
     
Direct the City Clerk to record the declaration with the Los Angeles County Recorder.
        Recommendation of the Historic Preservation Commission: On January 17, 2023, the Historic Preservation Commission recommended that the City Council approve the designation of the Harry Fitzgerald Building at 489 E.
        Colorado Boulevard as a Landmark under Criterion C of PMC Section 17.62.040.

 Legislative Policy Committee

 18.    APPROVAL OF THE FEDERAL & STATE LEGISLATIVE PLATFORMS FOR CALENDAR YEAR 2023
          Recommendation:
It is recommended that the City Council:
         (1)     
Find that the proposed action is not a project subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 21065 of CEQA and Sections 15060(c)(2), 15060(c)(3), and 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines,

Approve the Federal Legislative Platform and the State Legislative Platform for calendar year 2023.
         Recommendation of the Legislative Policy Committee
: At the March 7, 2023, meeting of the Legislative Policy Committee, the Committee approved the staff recommendations. Additionally, the Committee recommended
         amending both platforms to note that City Council declared a climate emergency on January 30, 2023 and set a goal to source 100% of Pasadena’s electricity from carbon free sources by 2030. Lastly, the Committee noted its intent
         to revisit the platforms later this year to discuss potential changes to the documents’ structure and tone to further support city priorities with unified, proactive advocacy.
