PUBLIC HEARING

NEW BUSINESS
1. 300 N. Central Ave: Vice Chair Anderson indicated that the property has not been
maintained for a long time. She will be submitting a code enforcement compliant
form so that building staff can inspect the property to determine if it is violating any
code requirements (e.g., has become a public nuisance).
2. August Meeting date: The August meeting date was moved from August 23rd to
August 17th due to scheduling conflicts.
OLD BUSINESS
1. Update on 20 Alice Avenue: Senior Planner Cindy McCormick informed the HPB
that staff has asked that the applicant revise the plans to detach the garage
consistent with the neighborhood, and General Plan land use strategy LUT-20.1b.
Members of the HPB further indicated that detaching the garage may introduce
additional driveway coverage which is not desired for the Alice Avenue
neighborhood.
2. Brochure: Board Members Moore presented the latest draft of the brochure. The
HPB would like the brochure to be posted to the city’s website. The HPB would also
like to explore the idea of putting the brochure in the Parks and Recreation mailer,
and displaying the brochure at the Historical Museum, the Ainsley House, and the
Community Development lobby. The HPB intends to send the brochure to historic
homeowners and realtors.
3. Historic Preservation Mobile application: Members of the HPB provided feedback
on improving the mobile application including: adding more content; hiring an intern
to help add more content; getting more participation from the Museum; highlighting
more properties; adding content on the canning industry, our early native American
settlers, and our Spanish heritage; adding credits to the photos (e.g., the museum)
4. Historic Preservation Ordinance (Chapter 21.33): The HPB continued their
discussion regarding the Ordinance update. Members of the HPB would like to see
some of the deleted “demolition by neglect” language reinserted into the draft
ordinance. Staff will work on recommended language. The HPB would also like to
see language from the deleted Certificate of Compliance incorporated into the
findings for project approval. The HPB would also like a reference to the Historic
Preservation Advisor for projects that require a Site and Architectural Review permit.
