A RESOLUTION OF THE SEAL BEACH CITY COUNCIL DESIGNATING
THE BAY THEATER A COMMERCIAL STRUCTURE LOCATED AT 340
MAIN STREET AS A HISTORIC RESOURCE IN THE CITY OF SEAL
BEACH
THE SEAL BEACH CITY COUNCIL DOES HEREBY FIND AND RESOLVE:
' Section 1. The City Council recognizes the importance of historic resources and the
need to preserve certain buildings having special architectural, cultural, or historical
value.
Section 2. A Historic Preservation Committee was established by Resolution 6584,
comprised of citizens representing all five (5) voting Districts with an interest in
preserving those resources that represent the history and culture of Seal Beach.
Section 3 The Historic Preservation Committee developed guidelines for identifying
potential historic resources and established policies and procedures for reviewing and
officially designating historic resources. City Council Resolution 6618 adopted these
guidelines and procedures for the designation of historic resources.
Section 4. The Bay Theater was identified as a potential historic resource by the
Historic Preservation Committee because it met guidelines 4 and 5 as identified below.
4. The building, structure, object, resource or site contributes to the overall
character and history of a neighborhood or district and is a good example of
period architecture.
5. The building, structure, object, resource or site is associated with events that
' have made a significant contribution to the pattern of local, state or national
history.
Section 5. This action is exempt from review under the California Environmental
Quality Act (California Public Resources Code §§ 21000, et seq., "CEQA ") and CEQA
regulations (14 California Code of Regulations §§ 15000, et seq.) because the
resolution establishes designation of a historic resource for recognition purposes only.
The action therefore, does not have the potential to cause significant effects on the
environment. Consequently, it is categorically exempt from further CEQA review under
14 Cal. Code Regs. §§ 15308, actions in compliance with the requirements of CEQA.
Section 6. The subject site is currently in escrow and the request for historic
designation was made by the buyer. The seller (current owner) has provided property
owner authorization of this request; however, the designation must be contingent upon
the close of escrow. If escrow does not close and ownership is not transferred to the
buyer, the seller does not seek the historic designation and the designation will be void.
Section 7. Designated historic resources will be provided with a plaque to identify
their historic significance and featured in the City's Historic Resource Inventory.
