ITEMS:
1. 868
Chorro Street.
CHC 51-06; Review of Historic Resource Investigation of the historic
Mancilla/Frietas Adobe; R-4 zone; Larry Hoyt, applicant.
(Phil Dunsmore)
There was a lengthy discussion regarding the submitted historic
resource investigation prepared by Dr. John Parker. The CHC agreed
that the study was well done, however concluded that a qualified
architectural historian needed to be retained by the applicant to
properly evaluate changes and additions that have been made to the
adobe structure over time. David Brodie mentioned his concerns with
how the loss of historic resources and artifacts contribute to the
deterioration of cities. Allan Cooper provided documentation from old
photographs regarding changes that occurred to the adobe over the
years. The CHC suggested that an architectural historian consider Mr.
Cooper’s documentation in preparing a report.
2. 1135
Roundhouse.
ARC 15-06; Architectural review for new dispatch center on the site
of Fire Station No. 1; PF-H zone; City of San Luis Obispo, applicant.
(Jaime Hill)
Following a presentation by staff and the project representatives, the
Commission voted 7:0 on a motion made by Committee member Baer,
seconded by Committee member Carpenter, to determine that the proposed
structure and site improvements are architecturally
compatible with the surrounding area
and referred the item to the Architectural Review Commission with a
recommendation to approve the plans as submitted,
based on the following findings:
1. The proposed materials and architectural detailing
will complement the adjacent City facility and will add to the
historic character of the surrounding neighborhood.
2. The scale and siting of the proposed dispatch
center is appropriate for the Railroad Historic District.
3. 2238
Broad Street.
ARC 62-05; Conceptual review of new mixed use development project
with 91 residential units and 25,000 square feet commercial space;
C-N-H and C-S-H zones; Halferty Development Co., applicant.
(Whitney McIIvaine)
Following a presentation by staff and the project applicant and
representatives, the Commission voted 7:0 on a motion made by
Committee member Baer, seconded by Committee member Carpenter,
determined that the proposed buildings and site improvements are
consistent with the Railroad District Plan and with the City’s
historical Preservation Program Guidelines “Principles of Historic
Preservation,” with the added consideration of using names for project
components and internal districts that are more aligned with local
railroad history, based on the following findings:
Findings:
1. The
proposed materials and architectural detailing of proposed buildings
are consistent with the architectural guidelines contained within the
Railroad District Plan.
2. The
specific arch forms of the Maymont Place buildings and the “outdoor”
room around the proposed roundabout are reminiscent of the historic
railroad roundhouse structure that stood near the site.
3. The
proposed mix of residential and commercial uses is consistent with
land use patterns discussed in the Railroad District Plan that promote
developments that allow people to live near work places and services.
DISCUSSION ITEMS:

CHC 94-04; Preparation of a Citywide Cultural Resources Survey;
