Bahorski, City Manager FROM: Lee Whittenberg, Director of Development Services SUBJECT: HISTORIC PRESERVATION PROGRAM — CONSIDERATION ' OF PLANNING COMMISSION REQUEST FOR DIRECTION SUMMARY OF REQUEST: Consider request by the Planning Commission for direction regarding a "Historic Preservation Program ". Provide direction as determined appropriate. BACKGROUND: The issue of the loss of older structures that may have some potential historic significance within the community was raised during the Oral Communication portion of the March 23, 2005 Planning Commission meeting and during Commission Comments at the end of the meeting, staff was requested to provide some background information for the Commission to review. Please refer to Attachment 4 to review the Planning Commission minutes regarding this matter. As directed, staff prepared a report for Commission discussion on April 6, 2005. After discussion among the Commissioners, the Planning Commission adopted a motion on a 4 -0 -1 vote, with Commission Shanks being absent, to "request direction from the City Council with regard to proceeding with exploring establishing a Historic Preservation Program and restriction of private property rights." Please refer to Attachment 1 and 2 to review the Planning Commission Staff Report and supplemental Memo of April 6 and to Attachment 3 to review a "Draft Minute Excerpt" of the Planning Commission discussion of April 6 on this matter. During the Planning Commission consideration of this matter the question as to restrictions of private property rights was a major issue of discussion, along with whether the City would need to have a list of potential structures to be considered for placement on a locally - identified historic properties list evaluated by an appropriate historical architect prior to the City expanding it's current listing. Given the issues involved in Agenda Item • Z:\My Documents\Historic Preservation\Historic Preservation Program.CC Staff Report.04- 25- 05.doc\LW\04 -19 -05 1 Historic Preservation Program — Consideration of Planning Commission Request for Direction City Council Staff Report April25, 2005 these issues staff feels that the utilization of consultants would be required to provide the level of analysis necessary for the City Council to make well - informed decisions that protect the city from potential litigation issues. FISCAL IMPACT: Undetermined. Any allocation of staff resources would not result in a direct, additional cost to the City, other than staff resources being diverted from other activities. If consultant services are deemed appropriate, those costs would require approval by the City Council prior to any work being authorized by staff. As identified in the March 13, 2000 City Council Staff Report costs to prepare the appropriate documentation for a formal historic preservation program would include the following elements: ❑ Historic Element of the General Plan $5,000 - $10,000 Staff Oversight — 50 - 75 hours ❑ Community Historic Resources Survey $10,000 - $20,000 Staff Oversight — 75 - 125 hours ❑ City Council Policy Statement Identifying Locally Significant Historic Structures Staff Prepared — - hours ❑ Historic Preservation Ordinance $2,000 - $3,000 or Staff Prepared — 25 -35 hours In summary, the above - identified formal program could result in direct costs of between $17,000- 33,000.00, and indirect staff costs of between $8,250- 12,750.00, based on year 2000 cost estimates, which would be greater now. RECOMMENDATION: Consider request by the Planning Commission for direction regarding a "Historic Preservation Program ". Provide direction as determined appropriate.

[Staff report on: file in the Planning Department]. Seventeen of the structures were'listed in the "Historic Walking Tour of Seal Beach" prepared by the Women's Club of Seal Beach and four structures were identified .by staff. The staff report indicated this list can be amended, the City doesn't.have a listing of recognized historic structures at • this time, the municipal Code sets findings the Commission would have to 'make in approving a Historical Conditional Use °Permit: This Historical Conditional Use Permit process includes notice to Page 2 - Planning Commission Minutes of June 5, 1991 adjoining property owners within 300 feet. A property owner who felt his home should be on this list should contact the Department of.Development and staff would evaluate that structure. Any staff recommendation would come before the Planning Commission and City Council. Staff has not processed a CUP under Section. 28- 2403.1, most likely because there is no list of recognized structures. . Staff proposed the Planning Commission review and consider this list. If it accurately reflects the extent of the'City's historic structures at this time then the list should be forwarded. to the City Council for their review and consideration. Hopefully the list would be adopted as the official policy listing of historic structures in Seal Beach which would then qualify those buildings under the municipal Code provisions for the Historical Conditional Use Permit process at the time any modifications /alterations are proposed for those structures. Commissioner Orsini asked staff how the proposed remodeling of the Green Pepper Restaurant on Main Street would affect it's historic nature. Mr. Whittenberg said the new owner is proposing to leave the structure's exterior walls and upgrade to meet seismic standards. Additionally they are proposing modifications.to the front of the building but the general overall' design of the structure will basically be the same. This will come before the Planning Commission as part • of the CUP process because of a change in their liquor license among other things. Chairman Fife noted'this would not make it more difficult forthe owner of a historical structure to demolish and rebuild a new structure but it would encourage him to preserve it by granting him deviations from the municipal Code. .

Review staff report and provide direction to Staff as to any further actions to implement a historic preservation program within the City. DISCUSSION • On January 24, 2000, the City Council requested the City Attorney and staff to investigate the implementation of a "historic preservation program" within the City, as a separate issue from Zone Text Amendment 00-1 regarding the establishment of a "Residential Conservation Overlay (RC -O) - Zone, pending before the City Council. Included within this investigation was to be different economic incentives that may be available to encourage the preservation of "locally- significant or historic structures ". • Initiation of Historic Preservation Planning Process In response to the direction of the City Council, staff presents the following project initiation issues for consideration of the Council: • Are there structures of historic, cultural or architectural significance within the Citr? Although the answer to this question may seem apparent, it would seem appropriate for the City Council to consider this question. Such consideration should also take into account the costs' of AGENDA ITEM C:1My Doc umentsfHissorie Preservation\Histo ie Prognam.CC Direction StaffReportdoc\LW\03 -08 -00 • Historic Preservation Program — Request for City Counci! Direction City Council Staff Report March 13, 2000 consultant and staff resources, and the resulting impacts upon city budget and staff. At this time, staff is not in a position to provide any definitive information regarding this issue, other than to provide information regarding the existing identified historic structures/locations within the City, e.g., Old City Hall (National Register of Historic Sites), and Anaheim Bay State Site of Historical Interest. In order to provide more detailed information regarding this question, staff would.recommend consideration of requesting, the Seal Beach Historical Society, in cooperation with interested citizens and volunteers, to provide a community survey of the "Old Town" area, and provide the results of that preliminary survey to the City Council prior to consideration of any type of formal preservation program. As part of this preliminary community survey it is suggested that a photo library be prepared, utilizing the city digital camera for recording photos of properties appearing to be of interest, either from a historical, cultural or architectural standpoint. In addition, an interest survey could be sent to the owners of identified structures to determine their near-term and long -term interests, and provide additional background information regarding the particular property. - - In 1991 the City started to address this issue, and staff prepared a draft "policy statement" regarding important structures within the City. The 1991 effort was undertaken to develop a "historical buildings inventory" for the purposes of qualifying specific structures within the community to be able to apply for a Conditional Use Permit for "Exceptions for Nonconforming Historic Buildings ", as set forth in Section 28- 2403.1. The City Council determined to hold this matter over, and never returned the issue to the table for discussion. This information should be presented to the Historical Society as input into their preliminary survey process. Please see Attachment 1 for a copy of this draft "policy statement" from 1991. • • This informal process would not commit the City to any immediate• and direct funding, although significant staff assistance would likely be necessary in regards to the development of the photo library and developing the survey document. This would be estimated to require between 15 -30 hours of staff time. : . • Should the focus be on saline attractive or quaint era architecture? Is the public interest served? • • This question is difficult to answer until the results of a preliminary community survey have been . completed. Upon receipt of the preliminary community survey, the City Council would be in a more informed position to answer this question. The question is whether a determination of "historical" significance is the desired standard, as opposed to a lesser standard of cultural or architectural significance. Unless there is more definitive information available to the City Council, it is difficult to provide information regarding the issue of serving the public interest. How can existing City staff resources most effectively be utilized? • Hi9aic Program= Direction staff Report 2 • Historic Preservation Program - Request for City Council Direction • City Council Staff Report March 13, 2000 Given the demands upon existing staff,resources, the proposed assistance from the Historical Society and volunteers would be an immediate and cost effective way to prepare adequate preliminary information for the City Council. • This approach would greatly relieve the City of any immediate direct or staff costs in providing sufficient preliminary information for the Council to determine if it is appropriate to proceed with a more formal historic preservation program. The 'staff allocation. and budget impacts Of developing a formal historic preservation program are discussed below. To summarize that information here, the following costs are estimated: O Historic Element of the General Plan 55,000 - $10,000 Staff Oversight — 50 -75 hours O Community Historic Resources Survey $10,000 - 520,000 Staff Oversight.— 75 -125 hours O City Council Policy Statement Identifying Locally Significant Historic Structures . Staff Prepared —15 -20 hours O Historic Preservation Ordinance 52,000 - 53,000 or 'Staff Prepared — 25-35 hours In summary, the above- identified formal program could result in direct costs of between 517,000- 33,000.00, and indirect staff costs of between 58,250- 12,750.00. . Overview of Historic Preservation Planninf Process: Among the first issues to be dealt with is that of the legal power and authority to protect historic places; it rests chiefly with local governments. Most people assume that the federal government, being the "highest" level of government, is the strongest guardian of historic resources. It is • generally assumed that if a property is listed on the National Register of Historic Planes ( "National Register"), it must be protected automatically. This is not the case. • Many people assume that if a property is listed on the National Register that it may not be demolished or ahered in any way. This is not the case. National Register . listing . imposes no restrictions whatsoever on private property owners. They remain free- to do whatever they please with their property. They can sell it paint it, alter it, and they can tear it down. On the other hand, National Register listing does provide access to federal rehabilitation tax. credits, often a substantial benefit to property owners. Preservation ordinances in the United States date to 1931, when Charleston, South Carolina, became the first American city to establish a local historic district. Today, over 1,700 communities have Historic mcc Directice s,affmzepon 3 (- Historic Preservation Program — Request for City Council Direction City Council Staff Report March 13, 2000 preservation ordinances in place. Preservation ordinances are local laws through which owners of historic properties are usually prohibited from altering or demolishing their property without local government approval. • The authority to regulate private property through historic preservation and land use laws is derived from the state's police powers, which are delegated to cities and counties. Local preservation programs and ordinances vary widely, but they must all comply with four primary rules of land - use law: . o An ordinance must promote a valid public purpose. It must in some way advance the public health, safety, morals or•general welfare; o An ordinance must not be so restrictive as to deprive a property owner of all reasonable economic use of his property; o An ordinance must honor a citizen's constitutional right to "due process ". In other words, fair hearings must be provided and rational procedures must be followed in an ordinance's administration; and • o An ordinance must comply with relevant state laws. The basic constitutionality of historic preservation ordinances was upheld in 1978 by the U.S. Supreme Court. In Penn. Central Transportation Co. v. City of New York (438 U.S. 104 (1978)), the court settled two important questions. First it found historic preservation to be a valid public purpose. Secondly, the court held the New York ordinance = and by inference, similar ordinances enacted by other cities — had not taken private property in violation of the U.S. Constitution because the ordinance's restrictions left the Penn Central company with a "reasonable beneficial use" of its . landmark property. •• • - - • • Issues for Consideration by the City Council: • • - As an initial starting point, it is recommended the City Council focus on the following questions in determining if further development of a historic preservation program within the City is appropriate at this time: c Why is historic preservation important to our community? ' o What elements of our local heritage do we want to preserve? o What have we previously done to preserve and protect that heritage? • o - What are we currently doing to preserve and protect that heritage? o What should we do .to preserve and protect our heritage in the future? O When do we want to begin to provide those additional protections? No two preservation plans are the same.. A local preservation program evolves in response to particular local conditions, needs, and goals of the local community. Most frequently, the preservation Historic Pr ogram.cc Direction Staff l n 4 • Historic Preservation Program — Request for City Council Direction City Council .S7aff Report March 13, 2000 program is a formal written document that reconciles policies and procedure's regarding the community's historic resources into a coherent set of policy and implementation documents. These preservation plans are used as the basis for the preservation program and are generally incorporated into the "General Plan" and "Municipal Code" of the City. Provided below are some essential. components that should be contained, or addressed, in a written preservation plan, including the appropriate document, and some brief discussion as to importance of undertaking the particular component: o Statement of the goals of preservation within the community. and the purpose of the preservation plan (General Plan Historic Element) Discussion: This is the backbone of the historic preservation plan, and if incorporated into an element of the General Plan, provides significant legal protections to the city in regards to adoption of implementing ordinances and policy statements. o Definition of the historic character of .the community (General Plan Historic Element and Community Historic Resources Survey) Discussion: This is an essential part of a preservation plan because it describes the unique character of the community, focusing on the history of the development .of the community or • neighborhood. • • • o Summary of past and current efforts to preserve the community's character (General Plan Historic Element and Community Historic Resources Survey) . • • Discussion: A concise and accurate summary of the history of the preservation efforts in the community is one of the most important components in a good preservation plan. This will provide . the preservation context in any future disputes concerning : protection of the community's heritage.. Leadership changes over firm,- and future leaders need a way to understand how the community's preservation program has evolved. • This component can provide the guidance to future generations concerning why the preservation program is structured the way that it is in this community. o A survey of historic resources within the community (Community Historic Resources Survey) Discussion: A community's preservation program should include a process for ensuring that all potential historic landmarks eventually are considered for designation. This guards against singling out some owners of historic structures for designation while 'other owners with properties equally meritorious under criteria adopted by the city escape designation. Courts tic rncc Direction Staff Report 5 Historic Preservation Program — Request for City Council Direction City Council Staff Report March 13, 2000 may call that a violation of the fundamental principle of "due process" and "equal protection under the law". • The survey is the method for identifying and gathering data on the city's historic resources. According to the National Park Service, "a survey includes a field survey, the physical search for and recording of historic resources on the groun4 and planning and background research before the field survey begins." All preservation programs should include the results of a historic resources survey. Such a survey provides the community with a specific universe of historic resources and a focus for the implementation of the goals and objectives of the preservation program. Resource documents on how to conduct a historic resource survey are the Secretary of the Interior's "Standards for Preservation Planning, Identification, Evaluation, and Registration" and the National Parks. Service "Guidelines for Local Survey: A Basis for Preservation Planning". o Explanation of the legal basis for protection of historic resources in the community (General . Plan Historic Element and Historic Preservation:Ordinance) • • Discussion: Both the legal basis of the preservation program as well as the legal basis of any ordinances the goals, objectives, and policies of he program should be addressed in the Historic Element of the General Plan. This. is important because it helps the preservation plan stand up to legal challenges and provides legitimacy and consistency between the general plan document and the implementing ordinances and policy statements. • • 0 Statement of the relationship between historic preservation and other local land use authority, such as zoning ordinance and building codes (General Plan Historic Element and Historic Preservation, Ordinance) : . • . • , Discussion: It is important to clarify the relationship between the preservation program and zoning. The role of any reviewing bodies, e.g., historic preservation committee, planning commission, and city council need to addressed and clarified. Provisions of the zoning ordinance should be reviewed to ensure compatibility .with the goals, policies and objectives of the historic preservation program. Preservation programs will not be effective unless other regulatory programs of the city are reviewed to ensure compatibility and /or incorporate preservation goals and policies. 0 . Statement of the public sector's responsibilities towards city -owned historic resources. and for ensuring that public actions do not adversely affect historic resources (General Plan Historic Element and.Historic Preservation Ordinance) Discussion: Municipal governments frequently own important historic resources in the community. In addition, the city is responsible for many infrastructure improvements. Higoiic rhncc Direction staff Repon 6 • Historic Preservation Program — Request for City. Council Direction City Council Staff Report March 13, 2000 Decisions regarding maintenance of infrastructure and new improvements may have substantial impacts on local historic resources. The City should be a leader in designing programs and policies to protect historic resources over which it may have direct control or impact with public infrastructure projects. 0 Statement of incentives that are. or should be. available to assist in the preservation of the community's historic resources (General Plan Historic Element and Historic Preservation Ordinance) • • Discussion: A preservation program is not complete without incentives to promote the protection of historic resources. There are 3 reasons why incentives should be included in a preservation program: • o Incentives help offset additional expenditures that may be necessary to comply with the local preservation goals and requirements. In some cases, higher costs may be incurred to meet specific design criteria for alterations. o Rehabilitation of historic structures may become a . catalyst for additional 'neighborhood revitalization and conservation efforts. Carefully crafted incentives can become a catalyst for such revitalization and conservation efforts. o There are instances where denial of a certificate of appropriateness may be considered an unconstitutional taking. Incentives may be used to offset economic hardships that might arise in a potential taking situation. While the preservation program may not actually create or implement the incentive, it can summarize how the incentive program works and provide timetables for implementation. . There are many types of incentives. They include: property tax abatement; property tax freeze; • property tax credit; tax- exempt bond financing;. mortgage guarantees or credit enhancement; - tax increment financing; direct loans or grants; and relief from zoning and building code provisions. For a fuller discussion of available economic incentives, please refer to the "Discussion of Economic Incentives" section of this staff report on page 1 I. 0 A precise statement of the goals and policies. including a specific agendajor future action to accomplish those goals (General Plan Historic Element) Discussion: A preservation program should include an agenda for future actions for the following reasons: • • o It provides a time frame and an action agenda for implementation of the goals; objectives, and policies included in the preservation program. o The agenda will help set priorities for implementation of the preservation program. tioor+c Program.CC Direction staff Report 7 Historic Preservation Program - Request for City Council Direction City Council Staff Report March 13, 2000 v An agenda allows periodic review by the city to determine progress in meeting stated goals, whether the goals and strategies should be redefined, or if the priorities needed to be reevaluated. Overview of Citv Attornev/Staf Efforts: The City Attorney and Staff have investigated many existing local "historic preservation programs" within the State of California and within other areas of the United States. In addition, federal and state law requirements regarding the preservation of historic sites have been reviewed. There are a range of options available for consideration, by the City Council regarding the implementation of a "historic preservation program" within the City, depending upon the level of City involvement determined to be appropriate. Provided below is an overview of the basic policy and planning issues to be considered in developing a historic preservation. program, a general summary: of the types of provisions included within most local historic preservation ordinances, and cost consideration issues. • Overview ofPolict' and-PlanninR Issues :.. If the City Council determines it is appropriate to proceed with the development of a "historic preservation program" within the City, several planning and policy issues need to be considered and addressed. Historic Element of the General Plan: First and fo would be the 'preparation of a "Historic Element" to the General Plan, which is an optional element under California law. • This general plan element would establish goals; policies, and procedures for the desired level. of City involvement in the preservation, conservation,`restoration, or alteration of identified historic structures: Adoption of a general plan element requires public hearings before the Planning Commission- and City Council; prior to final adoption by the City Council. This document would normally be prepared by an architectural historian, acting as a consultant to the City. Community Historic Resources Survey :. : • • Quite often a "Community Historic Resources Survey" is prepared as an information document and a technical supplement to the Historic Element of the General Plan. This document would provide a general historic overview of the community and focus upon the historic significance of the remaining structures within the City. This document would normally be prepared by an architectural historian, acting as a consultant to the City. . . - . - • City Council Policy Statement Identifying Locally - Significant Historic Structures: Historic ProwunCC Direction Staff Report 8 • Historic Preservation Program — Request for City Council Direction City Council Staff Report March 13, 2000 Although not a part of the General Plan Historic Element itself, it is recommended that the City Council adopt a policy statement indicating those structures determined to be locally significant structures. This policy statement could be reviewed and revised on an as needed basis to provide a continuously updated listing of those structures within the City determined to be historically or architecturally significant at the local level. The updating and review process of the policy statement would not be as involved as if the listing of locally significant historic structures were provided within the Historic Element of the General Plari. In that case, public hearings would have to be held before the Planning Commission and City Council to revise the Historic Element for this updating purpose. Revisions to a City Council policy statement would require review and approval by the City Council and any other designated reviewing body determined appropriate by the City Council. This policy statement would be based upon the determinations within the "Community Historic Resources Survey" as to those structures within the community of being locally significant historic structures. • Voluntary/Mandatory Preservation Program Provisions: . The remaining policy issue would be for the City Council to provide an indication to Staff as to whether the provisions of any implementing ordinances regarding historic preservation would be voluntary or mandatory to the identified properties. In reviewing the historic preservation ordinances of many cities throughout California and the United States, both voluntary and mandatory ordinance provisions exist. o Volrmtay Programs: Generally, the voluntary ordinances set forth criteria, guidelines and requirements for restoration, conservation, alteration, or demolition of identified structures; however, those _ provisions are only applicable if the property owner requests of the local jurisdiction enforcement of those provisions to his property. There are no mandatory requirements upon the owner of a locally identified historic structure. o Mandatory Programs: As in the voluntary ordinances, the mandatory ordinances set forth criteria, guidelines and requirements for restoration, conservation, alteration, • or . demolition of identified structures; however, those provisions are applicable to the subject properties as are the • zoning or building code provisions of the municipal code. The property owner does not • have the option of complying with those provisions; they become mandatory requirements upon the owner of a locally identified historic structure. • • Historic Program-CC Direction Staff Report 9 • Historic Preservation Program — Request for City Council Direction City Council Staff Report March 13, 2000 General Summan' of Provisions Included within most Local Historic Preservation Ordinances A review of several historic preservation ordinances within California indicate the following are the " provisions generally included within a Historic Preservation Ordinance: • o. Scope o ' Purpose and Intent o Definitions • . • o Historic preservation committee • o • Powers and duties of the historic preservation committee • o• Notice • • O Classification of landmarks O Designation criteria o Benefits and conditions of designation o Designation procedures O Requests to de- designate o • Certificate of appropriateness . • • • • " o Certificate of economic hardship o Incentives - Exceptions to land use regulations o Substantial alterations O State Historic Building Code o Unsafe or dangerous conditions o Demolition o , Relocation . . o Minimum maintenance • • • o Appeals • o. , Maintenance" and repair • 0 Enforcement and penalties • - o Severability Cost Consideration Issues: Although difficult to quantify with any certainty until additional direction is provided by the City Council; provided below are estimated cost ranges for preparation of the following documents to implement a historic preservation program within the City: o Historic Element of the General Plan S5,000 - $10,000 - Staff Oversight — 50-75 hours Historic Program= neon Staff Repat 10 Historic Preservation Program - Request for City Council Direction City Council Staff Report March 13, 2000 o Communiy Historic Resources Survey $10,000 - $20,000 Staff Oversight — 75 -125 hours o City Council Policy Statement Identifying Locally Significant Historic Structures Staff Prepared —15 -20 hours 0 Historic Preservation Ordinance $2,000 - $3,000 or Staff Prepared — 25 -35 hours Should Council determine this effort as having a reasonable chance of achieving the desired goals of the community, in the opinion of staff it would be necessary to retain an architectural historian to prepare the "Historic Element of the General Plan" and the "Community Historic Resources Survey" as a concurrent effort. Depending upon budget and timing issues, either the retained architectural historian or City Staff could prepare the historic preservation ordinance: Discussion of Economic Incentives Economic incentives for historic preservation are available in a number of different mechanisms. Discussed below, in the order of most applicability at this time,. are some of the more common economic incentives that could be made available: Local Incentives:. At this preliminary state of review; the existing housing rehabilitation programs available within the City could also be applicable to the upgrading and restoration of any of the existing locally significant structures within the community, subject to the income and funding limitations of the existing programs as approved by the City Council. Staff will continue to research any other potential economic incentive programs; including redevelopment agency programs, that may available at the local level without the formal designation of a locally significant historic structure: State Incentives: ._There are a number of state economic incentive programs applicable to historic resources. These programs generally require the subject property to be of some significance at the federal, state, or local level. Again, unless the City has a more formalized historic preservation program that identifies on an approved list locally significant historic structures, many of the state incentives would not be applicable. Potential programs would include: G Conservation easements granted pursuant to Civil Code, Sections 815 -816 constitute an enforceable 'restriction, for purposes of Section 402.1 of the Revenue and Taxation Code. Section . 402.1 , of the Revenue and Taxation Code sets forth provisions regarding the assessment of land subject to enforceable restrictions, including the conservation"easement provisions of Civil Code Sections 815 -816. O Property tax reduction under the provisions of the Mills Act, Government Code Section 50280 -50290 for owners of designated historic properties. Under the provisions of the Mills Hinceic Prograzaa Direction Staff Rep«t 11 Historic Preservation Program — Request for City Council Direction City Council Staff Report March 13, 2000 Act, a city is able to offer property tax reductions of as much as 75- percent. The property owner must be willing to commit to maintain the historic property for at least 10 years, that is automatically renewed on an annual basis in order to meet the mandated State requirements. ' In order to qualify for this program, the structure must meet either of the following: I. Listed in the National Register of Historic Places located in a registered historic district, as defined in Section 1.191 -2(b) of Title 26 of the Code of Federal Regulations. 2. Listed in. any state, county or city official register of historical or architecturally significant sites, places, or landmarks. o Historic property rehabilitation work to be compliant with Health and Safety Code, Sections 18950 - 18961, the California. ',State Historical Building Code:" It is the purpose of this - code to • provide alternative building regulations and building standards for the • rehabilitation, preservation, restoration. (including related reconstruction), - or relocation of buildings or structures designated. as historic buildings: Such alternative building standards and building regulations are intended to facilitate the restoration or change of occupancy so as to preserve their original or restored architectural elements and features, to encourage energy conservation and a cost- effective approach to preservation, and to provide for the safety..of the building occupants.. , • • . 0 The Marks Historical Rehabilitation Act of 1976, Health and Safety Code Sections 37600- 37684, authorizes cities and counties to make long -term, low- interest loans to finance the • rehabilitation of properties of historic or architectural significance. The State has determined that . "Unless local. agencies. have :the authority to provide loans for the rehabilitation of historic properties, many properties of • historic - or architectural significance will continue to deteriorate at an accelerated rate. because loans from 'private . sources are not sufficiently available for their rehabilitation. ,.It is the policy of the state to• . • preserve, protect, and restore the historical and architectural resources of the state." • 0 The California Heritage Fund is created in the State Treasury and is administered by the office. Money in . the fund shall be available, upon appropriation by the Legislature, to implement laws providing for historical resource preservation. These funds are usually • •• disbursed • . on a grant basis to local governments or non - profit organizations involved in historic preservation programs. Federal Incentives: Listing of historic properties on the National Register. of Historic Places provides federal incentives. Investment tax credits are provided for the "substantial rehabilitation of certified historic structures, and tax deductions are permitted: for the contribution of easements on historic properties to qualified entities. At this time, the only structure within the City that is on the National Register of Historic Places is the Old City Hall building. Therefore, the federal incentive programs have very limited applicability within the community. . . • • • Historic Progaracc Direction Staff Repot 1 • • • Historic Preservation Program — Request for City Council Direction City Council Staff Report March 13, 2000 FISCAL IMPACT Unknown at this time. If the City Council determines it is appropriate to proceed with a formal preservation program effort, staff would recommend the preparation of a "Request for Qualifications" (RFQ's) from appropriate architectural historians and consulting firms to prepare the recommended documents. Upon receipt and consideration of the RFQ's, the Council could determine if it wished to proceed with implementation and budget the appropriate funds as part of the 2000 -2001 Fiscal Year Budget. Alternatively, Council may consider a less formal approach enlisting the assistance of the Historical Society and other citizen volunteers in working with staff to identify structures of interest, focusing on outreach efforts and restoration incentives for project owners willing to participate in a voluntary program.

C :%My DocumentsWisto is Pteservation\Historic Buildings Policy Statement.CC Staff Reportdoc LW108-09-00 • Consideration of Policy Statement re: Locally Designated Historic Structures City Council Staff Report August 14, 2000 DISCUSSION Currently the City does not have a procedure in place. to locally designate a structure as a "locally designated historic structure. Adoption of the Policy Statement will create that mechanism, and in addition designate 2: structures at this time,- both of which are facing relocation or potential demolition. Attachment 1 is the proposed Policy Statement for adoption by the City Council. This proposal is part of the staff recommendation of the March 13, 2000 City Council Staff Report regarding "Historic Preservation Program - Overview Report and Request for Direction ", which has been tabled•,by the City Council for future discussion. As indicated in the•March 13, 2000, City Council Staff Report: • "City Council Policy Statement Identifying Locally - Significant Historic Structures: Although not a part of the General Plan Historic Element itself, it is recommended that the City Council adopt a policy statement indicating those structures determined to be locally significant structures. This policy statement could be reviewed and revised on an as needed basis to provide a continuously updated, listing of those structures within the City determined to be historically or architecturally significant at the local level. The updating and review process of the policy statement wouldnot be as involved as if the listing of locally significant historic structures were , provided within the Historic Element of the General Plan. In that case, public hearings would have to be • held.: before the Planning Commission and . City. Council to revise the Historic Element for this updating purpose. Revisions to a City Council policy statement would require review and approval by the City Council and any other designated reviewing body. determined appropriate by. the City Council. This policy statement would be based upon the determinations .within the "Community Historic Resources Survey" as to those structures within . the community of" being • locally significant historic structures." " (page 8 and 9) : In 1991 the City started to address this issue, and staff prepared a draft . "policy statement" regarding important structures within the City. The 1991 effort was undertaken to develop a "historical buildings inventory" the purposes of qualifying specific structures within the community to be able to apply for a Conditional Use Permit for "Exceptions for Nonconforming Historic Buildings ", as set forth in Section 28- 2403.1. The City Council, determined to hold this matter over, and never returned the issue to the table for discussion. Please see Attachment 2 for a copy of this draft "policy statement" from 1991. Historic Buildings Policy Statement.CC Staff Report 2 • Consideration of Policy Statement re: Locally Designated Historic Structures City Council Staff Report August 14, 2000 ISSUES REGARDING KRENWINIEL AND PROCTOR HOMES: Krenwinkel Home: For several years the City has been attempting to find an acceptable location for the Krenwinkel house currently located at 106 Central Avenue, and has been unable to do so. The relocation of the Krenwinkel house from its current location to the State Lands Property was contemplated as part of the Hellman Ranch development:, Under the terms of a settlement agreement between the California Coastal Commission and Hellman Properties, this will not be possible. Due to the inability of the City to find a suitable location for this home, the agreements between the City and the Luraschi family have been terminated. An agreement is now effective between the Luraschi family and Chris Verhulst for the relocation' and restoration of the Krenwinkel home to the 300 block of Seventh Street. Mr. Verhulst states it is his intent to utilize the structure as a residence. In discussions among City staff and Mr. Verhulst, the concern of complying with "building code provisions as a condition of approval for the relocation of this structure has been raised. Among the major concerns are: o Removal of all w indows and replacement with double -pane windows; o Removal of six windows," three on each side of the home, to meet current shear wall standards; o Replace approximately 50% or the existing siding where shear will panels would be required; and o Replace existing stairway to second floor to comply with minimum stairway width and riser requirements. Existing stairway is 35 wide, while current building code would require a minimum 36" wide stairway. • If the City were to locally designate Krenwinkel house as "historic structure ", the "Historic Building" provisions of Chapter 6 of the 1997 Uniform Code for Building Conservation (Attachment 3) would be applicable to the proposed relocation. These provisions would require the foundation for the relocated structure to comply with current building code provisions (Section 604, 1997 Uniform Code for Building Conservation). The other issues of concern would then 'be resolved in accordance with the applicable provisions of the 1997 Uniform Code for Building Conservation. The provisions of the 1997 Uniform Code for Building Conservation provide sufficient protection both to the community and to the occupant's of a "historic structure ", while allowing for repairs and relocation to proceed in a reasonable, cost - effective means that preserves the architectural integrity and local importance of the structure. Historic Buildings Policy Statement.CC Staff Report 3 Consideration of Policy Statement re: . Locally Designated Historic Structures Ciry Council Staff Report August 14, 2000 Proctor Home: The Proctor home at 227 Tenth Street has been sold and the new property o have indicated their desire, to replicate the home by construction of 'a new structure on that property (See Attachment 4). This would result in either the 'demolition of the Proctor home or the potential for relocation of the structure to:another property within the City for restoration purposes. Any person wishing to relocate and refurbish the Proctor home would deal with the same issues regarding building code compliance issues discussed above regarding the Krenwinkel home. Placement of the Proctor home on the' recommended Policy Statement would provide the same flexibility in dealing with any _ remodeling, alteration, or relocation issues; and allow that flexibility to be in place at this time, eliminating the need for a future action by the City Council. Continuing Concerns re: Hist Structures: - As land values continue to rise within the "Old Town" area of the City it is anticipated that additional pressure will be exerted upon the few remaining older residential structures - for acquisition and demolition. The City is desirous of developing a mechanism to discourage those actions and instead to encourage the retention . .of these older residential structures. Allowing the restoration /rehabilitation/relocation of these structures in accordance with the provisions of the 1997 Uniform Code for Building Conservation seems to be a viable approach to address these concerns, While maintaining the primarily residential character of the neighborhood and of the. subject structures.. .. . .. ..

By unanimous consent, full reading of Resolution Number 4828 was waived. • Councilman Yost asked if the City had done due diligence in reviewing this company, what was done to assure that the City wants to approve this, and does the City have to • approve the sale. The City Attorney responded in the affirmative, explaining that the City has very little discretion based on the deadline,- he is aware of Adelphia coming into about eight cities, they took over Century and Comcast, their law firm has dealt with this issue for about a year and a half, and as set forth in the Resolution, they have the requisite financial, technical, and legal qualifications to perform all of the legal obligations of the franchise. Councilman Yost asked if there is an awareness of problems in other cities, and is there any possibility of renegotiating the contract given the change of ownership. The City Attorney stated he was not aware of • any problems, historically there had been problems in cities serviced by Century and Comcast, that has not occurred with Adelphia, and under the franchise, if Adelphia can meet the requirements of the City the City can not unreasonably • withhold consent, a transfer does not open the agreement to .renegotiations. AYES: Boyd, Campbell, Doane, Larson, Yost NOES: None Motion carried POLICY STATEMENT - LOCALLY DESIGNATED HISTORIC STRUCTURES The Director of Development Services presented the staff report, the request is the adoption of a policy statement that would establish a list of locally significant historic structures within the City, noting that the Municipal Code allows for properties designated as a local historic property to apply fora Historic Conditional Use Permit, that Permit would -allow certain modifications to those structures subject to provisions set forth in the policy statement, certain language from that ordinance is actually restated in the Policy. He mentioned also that the State of California has adopted the 1997 Uniform Code for Building Conservation, that Code deals with additions, remodels, and relocations of existing structures and sets forth certain standards that would apply to those types of structures where they would not be required to be totally brought up to current day Building Code requirements, in that Code there is also a definition of an historic structure as well as a separate chapter that sets forth the parameters as to how ' those historic structures do remodeling, additions, relocation of a structure, what needs to be brought to I current standards and what portions of the structure would not yet still resolve any life and safety issues, fire exiting, etc. • He said given the issues that have come up with both the Krenwinkle and Proctor homes, it is suggested that those two structures be placed -on the policy statement and adopted. The Director reported that this is an issue that the Council began to deal with in 1991, this Council has been provided the policy statement from that time however-that Council took no action, that statement was aimed only at the Historic CUP of the City Code and proposed a much longer list of structures to be included in that list. He noted that this issue is somewhat of a fallout of two recent Council actions, the adoption of the Residential Conservation Overlay Zone that deals with bed and breakfast Page Eighteen - City Council Minutes - August 14, 2000 uses in certain areas of the City, the Council requested a report back from staff with regard to establishing a historic preservation program in the community on a larger scope,. that was presented in March and has been continued to a time uncertain when it is desired to bring that issue up once again, at that same time it was recommended that the Council establish a list of locally designated structures, • the primary purpose is to qualify under the Historic CUP provisions of the City Code, that has been in existence for a number of years, yet until the City designates certain structures there is no structure in the community that can . apply under those Code provisions, thus there is no structure that would be of an historic nature that could do a remodel or addition or major alteration without having to . bring the entire structure up to current building standards, this would provide that flexibility. Mayor Campbell made reference to the proposed Historical Buildings Inventory of 1991,.and inquired if any of those structures have been lost since then. The Director said he believed that a couple of them no longer exist, it is not certain that the Krenwinkle house listed on 12th Street is correct, however it has been said that two different houses had been moved from Anaheim Bay. He noted that staff is not requesting approval of the 1991 structure listing, rather, the Locally Designated Historic Structures Policy Statement of August 14th, 2000 that sets forth the Krenwinkle and Proctor houses. Councilman Boyd noted that the Policy mentions locally historic buildings or structures, and asked why the Old City Hall is not listed. The Director clarified that at this time only those structures that were known to be coming forth for some type of remodeling or relocation were of immediate concern, suggesting that if it is felt the Policy Statement in general complies with the Historic Conditional . Use Permit and the Uniform Building Code provisions then staff would want to go back and look at the 1991 Policy Statement to review the buildings and structures on that list and if it is felt they are still appropriate to include on the 2000 Statement they could be brought back to the . Council for addition thereto; also, the Old City Hall structure is on the National Register of Historic Places, a higher level of recognition than most other structures in the community, is not believed that the municipal pier would qualify in that it likely does not predate 1925. The Mayor asked that the 1991 list of structures be looked at for similar protection. Boyd moved, second by. Doane, to adopt the Policy Statement regarding the designation of Locally Designated Historic Structures. AYES: • Boyd, Campbell, Doane, Larson, Yost NOES: None Motion carried REFINANCING - ASSESSMENT DISTRICT NUMBER 94 -1 - SURFSIDE COLONY UNDERGROUNDING BONDS Councilman Boyd noted that this is an existing Assessment District for which there has been an opportunity to refinance for a savings to the taxpayers of Surfside Colony of their assessment upon themselves of approximately $300,000. The Director of Administrative Services reported that the actual amount of savings, based upon the borrowed amount of $1,434,000, is between $120 to $150 annually, the aggregate savings to be in excess of $340,000. She invited any questions to be directed to the bond legal counsel or the bond underwriter. Councilman Boyd expressed appreciation for this effort on behalf of the three hundred thirteen Surfside Colony homeowners.

Included within this investigation was to be different economic incentives that may be available to encourage the preservation of "locally - significant or historic structures ". • Initiation of Historic Preservation Planning Process In response to the direction:ofthe City Council; the following project initiation issues for consideration of the Council: . Are there structures of historic, cultural or architectural significance within the Otte? Although the answer to this question may seem apparent, it would seem appropriate for the City Council to consider this question. Such consideration should also take into account the costs of AGENDA ITEM A/ C:\My Documents`,tiistoric Preservation\Historic Progam.CC Direction Staff Report.doc\LW103 -08 -00 • • Historic Preservation Program - Request for City Council Direction City Council Staff Report March 13, 2000 consultant and staff resources, and the resulting impacts upon city budget and staff At this time, staff is not in a position to provide any definitive information regarding this issue, other than to provide information regarding the existing identified historic structures/locations within the City, e.g., Old City Hall (National Register of Historic Sites), and Anaheim Bay State Site of Historical Interest. In order to provide more detailed information regarding this question, staff would recommend consideration of requesting the Seal Beach Historical Society, in cooperation with interested citizens and volunteers, to • provide a community survey of the "Old Town" area, and provide the results of that preliminary survey to the City Council prior to consideration of any type of formal preservation program. . As part of this preliminary community survey it is suggested that a photo library be prepared, utilizing the city digital camera for recording photos of properties appearing to be of interest, either from a • historical, cultural or architectural standpoint. In addition, an interest survey could be sent to the owners of identified structures to determine their near-term and long -term interests, and provide additional background information regarding the particular property. In 1991 the City started to address this issue, and staff prepared a draft "policy statement" regarding important structures within the City. The 1991 effort was undertaken to develop a "historical buildings • inventory" for the purposes of qualifying specific structures within the community to be able to apply for a Conditional Use Permit, for "Exceptions for Nonconforming : Historic Buildings ", as set forth in Section 28- 2403.1. The City Council determined to hold this matter over and never returned the issue • to the table for discussion. This information should be presented to the Historical Society as input into their preliminary survey process. Please see Attachment 1 for a copy of this draft "policy statement" from 1991. This informal. `process . would not commit the City to any immediate and direct funding, although significant staff assistance would likely be necessary in, regards to the development of the photo library and developing the survey document. This would be estimated to require between 15 -30 hours of staff . - time: • Should the focus be on saving attractive or Quaint era architecture? Is the public interest served? • This question is difficult to answer until the results of a preliminary c ommunity survey have been completed. Upon receipt of the preliminary community survey, the City Council would be in a more . informed position to answer this question. The question is whether a determination of "historical" significance is the desired standard, as opposed to a lesser standard of cultural or architectural significance. Unless there is more definitive information available to the City Council, it is difficult to provide information regarding the issue of serving the public interest. • How can exzstinp Or staff resources nwst effectively be utilized? • Historic Program CC Direction starRepon 2 • • Historic Preservation Program — Request for City Council Direction City Council Staff Report March 13. 2000 Given the demands upon existing staff resources, the proposed assistance from the Historical Society and volunteers would be an immediate and cost effective way to prepare . adequate preliminary . information for the City Council. This approach would greatly relieve the City of any immediate direct or staff costs in providing sufficient preliminary information for the Council to determine if it is appropriate to proceed with a more formal historic preservation program. The staff allocation and budget impacts of developing a formal historic preservation program are discussed below. To summarize that information here, the following costs are estimated: 0 Historic Element of the General Plan S5,000 - S10,000 Staff Oversight — 50-75 hours o Community Historic Resources Survey $10,000 - 520,000 Staff Oversight — 75 -125 hours - a City Council Policy Statement Identifying Locally Significant Historic Structure Staff Prepared —15 -20 hours 0 Historic Preservation Ordinance ° • 52,000 - 53,000 or • Staff Prepared — 25 -35 hours • In summary, the above- identified formal program could result in direct costs of between 517,000- 33,000.00, and indirect staff costs of between 58;250- 12,750.00. Overview of Historic Preservation Planning Process: Among the first issues to be dealt with is that of the legal power and authority to protect - historic places; it rests chiefly with local governments. Most people assume that the federal government, being the "highest" level of government, is the strongest guardian of historic resources. It is generally assumed that if a property is listed on the National Register of Historic Planes ( "National Register"), it must be protected automatically. This is not the case. Many people assume that if a property is listed on the National 'Register that it may not be demolished or altered in any way. This is not the case. ' National • Register listing imposes no restrictions whatsoever on private property' owners: They remain free to do whatever they please with their property. They can sell it, paint it, alter it, and they can tear it down: On the other hand,. National Register listing does provide access to federal rehabilitation tax credits, often a substantial to property owners. • Preser ordinances in the United States date to - 1 931 when Charleston, South Carolina; became the first American city to establish a local historic district. Today, over 1,700 communities have Historic Rogamcc Direction Staff Report 3 • Historic Preservation Program — Request for City Council Direction City Council .Staff Report March 13, 2000 preservation ordinances in place. Preservation ordinances are local laws through which owners of historic properties are usually prohibited from altering or demolishing their property without local government approval. The authority to regulate private property through historic preservation and land use laws is derived • from the state's police powers, which are delegated to cities and counties. Local preservation programs and ordinances vary widely, but they must all comply with four primary rules of land -use law: . . - o An ordinance must promote a valid public purpose. It must in some way advance the public health, safety, morals or general welfare; O An ordinance must not be so restrictive as to deprive a property owner of all reasonable economic of his property; o An ordinance must honor a citizen's constitutional right to "due process ". In other words, fair hearings must be provide and rational procedures must be followed in an ordinance's administration; and • • o An ordinance must comply with relevant state laws. The basic constitutionality_of historic preservation ordinances was upheld in 1978 by the U.S. Supreme • . Court. In Penn Central- Transportation Co. v. City of New York (438 U.S. 104 (1978)), the court settled two important questions. First it found historic preservation to be a valid public purpose. Secondly, the court held the New York ordinance — and by_ inference, similar ordinances enacted by other cities — had not taken private property in violation of the U.S. Constitution because the ordinance's restrictions left the Penn Central company with a "reasonable beneficial use" of its landmark property. • Issues for Consideration by the City Council: • • • As an initial starting point, it is recommended the City Council focus on the following questions in - determining if.further development of a historic preservation program within the City is appropriate at this time: O Why is historic preservation important.to our community? . - o What elements of our local heritage do we want to preserve? o - What have we previously done to preserve and protect that heritage ? - • , o What. are we currently doing to preserve and protect that heritage? - o What should we do to preserve and protect our heritage in the future? o When do we want to begin to provide those additional protections? No two preservation plans are the same. A local preservation program evolves in response to . . particular local conditions,'.needs,. and goals of the local community. Most frequently, the preservation Hiaoric ProgazaCC Direction Staff Report 4 Historic Preservation Program — Request for City Council Direction City Council Staff Report March 13, 2000 program is a formal written- document that reconciles policies and • procedure's regarding the community's historic resources into a coherent set of policy and implementation documents. These preservation plans are used as the basis for the preservation program and are generally incorporated into the "General Plan" and "Municipal Code" of the City. Provided below are some essential components that should be contained, or addressed, in a written preservation plan, including the appropriate document, and some brief discussion as to importance of undertaking the particular component: • 0 Statement of the goals of preservation within the community, and the purpose of the preservation plan (General Plan Historic Element) • Discussion: This is the backbone of the historic preservation plan, and if incorporated into an element of the General Plan, provides significant legal protections to the city in regards to adoption of implementing ordinances and policy statements. • O Definition of the historic character of the community (General Plan Historic Element and Community Historic Resources Survey) • • Discussion: This is an essential part of a preservation plan because it describes the unique character of the community, focusing on the history of the development of the community or neighborhood. o Summary of past and current • efforts to preserve the community's character (General Plan Historic Element and Community Historic Resources Survey) • • Discussion: A concise and accurate summary of the history of the preservation efforts in the community is one 'of the most important components in a good preservation plan. This will provide the preservation context in any future disputes concerning protection of the • community's heritage. Leadership changes over time, and future leaders need a way to understand how the community's preservation program has evolved. This component can provide the guidance to future generations concerning why the preservation program is structured the way that it is in this community. 0 A survey of historic resources within the community (Community Historic Resources Survey) Discussion: A community's preservation program should include a process for ensuring that all potential historic landmarks eventually are considered for designation. This guards against singling out some owners of historic structures for designation while other owners with • properties equally meritorious under criteria adopted by the city escape designation: Courts Historic Ana area;«t sua rt 5 Historic Preservation Program — Request for City Council Direction City Council Staff Report March 13, 2000 may call that a violation of the fundamental principle of "due process" and "equal protection under the lave'. • The survey is the method for identifying and gathering - data on the city's historic resources. According to the National Park Service, "a survey includes a field survey, the physical search for and recording of historic resources on the ground and planning and background research before the field survey begins." All preservation programs should include the results of a- historic resources survey. Such a survey provides the community with a specific universe of historic resources and a focus for the implementation of the goals and objectives of the preservation program. Resource documents on how to conduct a historic resource survey are the Secretary of the Interior's "Standards for Preservation Planning, Identification, Evaluation, and Registration" and the National Parks Service "Guidelines for Local Survey: A Basis for Preservation Planning ". v Explanation of the legal basis for protection of historic resources in the community (General Plan Historic Element and Historic Preservation Ordinance) • Discussion: Both the legal basis of the preservation program as well as the legal basis of any ordinances applying the goals, objectives, and policies of he program should be addressed in the Historic Element of the General Plan. This,is important because it helps the preservation plan stand, up to legal challenges and provides legitimacy and consistency between the general plan document and the implementing ordinances and policy statements. 0 Statement of the relationship between historic preservation and other local land use authority, such as zoning ordinance and building codes (General Plan Historic Element and Historic Preservation Ordinance) Discussion: It is important to clarify the relationship between the preservation program and zoning. The role of any reviewing bodies,: e.g., historic preservation committee, planning commission, and city council need to addressed and clarified. Provisions of the zoning ordinance should be reviewed to ensure compatibility with the goals, policies and objectives of the historic preservation program. Preservation programs will not be effective unless other regulatory programs of the city are reviewed to . ensure compatibility and /or incorporate preservation goals and policies. 0 Statement of the public sector's responsibilities towards city -owned historic resources. and for ensuring that public actions do not adversely affect historic resources (General Plan Historic Element and Historic Preservation Ordinance) • Discu Municipal governments frequently own , important historic resources in the community. In addition, the city is responsible for many infrastructure improvements. Historic ProgannC Direction Staff Report 6 Historic Preservation Program - Request for City. Council Direction • City Council Staff Report March 13, 2000 Decisions regarding maintenance of infrastructure and new improvements may. have substantial impacts on local historic resources. The City should be a leader in designing 'programs and policies to protect historic resources over which it may have direct control or impact with public infrastructure projects. 0 Statement of incentives that are. or should be, available to assist in the preservation of the . community's historic resources (General Plan Historic Element and Historic Preservation Ordinance) • Discussion: A preservation program is not complete without incentives to promote the protection of historic resources. There are 3 reasons why incentives should be included in a preservation program: _ O Incentives help offset additional expenditures that may be necessary to comply with the local preservation goals and requirements. In some cases, higher costs may be incurred to . meet specific design criteria for alterations. . O Rehabilitation of historic structures may become a catalyst for additional neighborhood revitalization and conservation efforts. ' Carefully'craffted incentives can become a catalyst for such revitalization and conservation efforts. ' a There are instances where denial of a certificate of appropriateness may be considered an • unconstitutional taking. Incentives may be used to offset economic hardships that might arise in a potential taking situation. . While the preservation program may not actually create or implement the incentive, it can , summarize how the incentive .program works and provide timetables' for implementation. There many types of incentives. They include: property tax abatement; property tax freeze; property tax credit; tax- exempt. bond financing; mortgage guarantees or credit enhancement; tax increment financing; direct Loans or grants; and relief from zoning and building code provisions. For a fuller discussion of available economic incentives, please refer to the - "Discussion of Economic Incentives" section of this staff report on page_ 11. 0 A precise statement of the goals and policies, including a specific agenda for future action to accomplish those goals (General Plan Historic Element) . Discussion: A preservation program should include an agenda for future actions for the following reasons: O It provides a time frame and an action agenda for implementation of the goals, objectives, and policies included in the preservation program. o The agenda will help set priorities for implementation of the preservation program. Historic Rogam,CC Direction staff Report 7 Historic Preservation Program — Request for City Council Direction City Council Staff Report • March 13, 2000 An agenda allows periodic review by the city to determine progress in meeting stated goals, whether the goals and strategies should be redefined, or if the priorities needed to be reevaluated: . Overview of City Attornev/StaffEfforts The City Attorney and Staff have investigated many existing local "historic preservation programs" within the State of California and within other areas of the United States. In.addition, federal and state law requirements regarding the preservation of historic sites have been reviewed. There are a range of options : available for consideration by the City Council regarding the implementation of a "historic preservation•program" within the City, depending upon the level of City involvement determined to be appropriate. Provided below is• an overview of the basic policy and planning issues to be considered in developing a historic preservation program, a general summary of the types of provisions included within most local historic preservation ordinances, and cost consideration issues. • Overvie ofPolicv and Planning Issues: ' . If the City Council, determines it, i s appro to proceed with the development of a "historic preservation program" within the City, several planning and policy issues need to be considered and addressed: HistoricEleirient of the General Plan First and foremost would be the preparation of a "Iistoric Element" to.the General Plan, which is an optional element under California law. This general plan element would establish goals, policies, and procedures 'for the desired level of City involvement in the preservation,, conservation, restoration, or alteration of identified historic structures. Adoption of a general plan element requires public,hearings before the Planning, Commission and: City Council, prior to final adoption by the City Council. This document 'would normally be prepared by an architectural historian; acting as a consultantto the City. Community= Historic Resources Survey: Quite oft a "Communi His Res Survey" is prepared_ as' an information document and a technical supplement to the Historic Element of the General Plan. This document would provide a general historic overview of the community and focus upon the historic significance of the remaining structures within the City. This document would normally be prepared by an architectural historian, acting as a consultant to the City. City Council Policy Statement Identifying Locally Significant Historic Structures: Historic Program= Direction staff Report 8 • Historic Preservation Program — Request for City Council Direction City Council Staff Report March 13. 2000 Although not a part of the General Plan Historic, Element itself, it is recommended that the City • Council adopt a policy statement indicating those structures determined to be locally significant ' structures. This policy statement could be reviewed and revised on an as needed basis to provide a • continuously updated listing of those structures within the City determined to be historically or architecturally significant at the local level. The updating and review process of the policy statement would not be as involved as if the listing of locally significant historic structures were provided within the Historic Element of the General Plan. In that case, public hearings would have to be held before the Planning Commission and City Council to revise the Historic Element for this updating purpose. Revisions to a City Council policy statement would require review and approval by the City Council and any other designated reviewing body . determined appropriate by the City Council. This policy statement would be based upon the • determinations within the "Community Historic Resources Survey" as to those_ structures within the community of being locally significant historic structures. Voluntary/Mandatory Preservation Program Provisions: The remaining policy issue would be for the City Council to provide an indication to Staff as to whether the provisions of any implementing ordinances regarding historic preservation would be voluntary or mandatory to the identified properties. In feyieWing the historic preservation ordinances of many cities throughout California and the United States, both voluntary and mandatory ordinance provisions exist. 0 Voluntary Programs: Generally, the voluntary ordinances set forth criteria, guidelines and requirements for restoration, conservation, alteration, or demolition of identified structures; however, those _ provisions are only applicable if the property owner requests of the. local jurisdiction enforcement of those provisions to his property. There are no mandatory requirements upon the owner of a locally identified historic structure. o Mandatory Progrcros: As in the voluntary ordinances, the mandatory ordinances set forth criteria, guidelines and :requirements for restoration; conservation, alteration, or . demolition of identified structures; however, those provisions are applicable to the subject properties as are the zoning or building code provisions of the municipal code. The property owner does not have the option of complying with those provisions; they become mandatory requirements upon the owner of a locally identified historic structure. Hislaric Programo Dialed= Suff Report 9 • Historic Preservation Program — Request for City Council Direction City Council Staff Report March 13, 2000 General Summary of Provisions Included within most Local Historic Preservation Ordinances • A review of several historic preservation ordinances within California indicate the following are the provisions generally included within a Historic Preservation Ordinance: O Scope • o Purpose and Intent o Definitions • o Historic preservation committee o Powers and duties of the historic preservation committee • o Notice o " Classification of landmarks • o Designation criteria • • o Benefits and conditions of designation o Designation procedures • O Requests to de- designate _ o Certificate of appropriateness • o Certificate of economic hardship • o Incentives - to land use regulations • o Substantial alterations O State Historic Building Code o Unsafe or dangerous conditions .

Depending upon budget and timing issues, either the. retained architectural historian or City Staff could prepare the historic preservation ordinance. . Discussion of Economic Incentives Economic incentives for historic preservation are available in a number of different mechanisms. Discussed below, in the order of most applicability, at this time, are some of the more common economic incentives that could be made available: Local'Incentives: At this preliminary state of review, the existing•housing rehabilitation programs available within the City could also be applicable to the upgrading and restoration of any of the existing locally significant structures within the community; subject to the income and funding limitations of the existing programs as approved by the City Council. Staff will continue to research any other potential economic incentive programs, including redevelopment agency programs, that may available at the local level without the formal designation of a locally significant historic stricture. • State Incentives: . There are a number of state economic incentive programs applicable to historic resources. These programs generally require the subject property to be of some significance at the federal, state, or local level. Again unless the City has a more formalized historic preservation program that identifies on an approved list locally significant historic structures, many of the state incentives would not be applicable. Potential programs would include: • o • Conservation easements granted pursuant to Civil Code, Sections 815 -81 constitute an enforceable restriction, for purposes of Section 402:1 of the Revenue and. Taxation Code.: . Section 402.1 of the Revenue and Taxation Code sets forth provisions regarding the • assessment of land subject to enforceable restrictions, including the conservation easement provisions of Civil Code Sections 815-816. o Property tax reduction under the provisions of the Mills Act, Government Code Section 50280 -50290 for owners of designated historic properties.

The property owner must .be willing to. commit to maintain the historic property for at least 10 years, that is automatically renewed on an annual basis in order to meet the mandated State requirements. In order to qualify for this program, the structure must meet either of the following: ]. Listed in the National Register of Historic Places or located in a registered historic district, as defined in Section 1.191 -2(b) of Title 26 of the Code of Federal Regulations. 2. Listed in any state, county or city official register of historical or architecturally significant sites, places, or landmarks. o Historic property rehabilitation work to be compliant with Health and Safety Code, Sections . 18950- 18961, the California "State Historical Building Code." It is the purpose of this code to provide alternative building regulations ' and building • standards for the rehabilitation, preservation, restoration (including related reconstruction), or relocation of • . buildings or structures designated as historic buildings. Such alternative building standards and building regulations are intended' to facilitate the restoration or change of occupancy so as to preserve their original or restored architectural elements and features, to encourage energy conservation and a cost- effective approach to preservation; and to provide for the safety of the building occupants. O The Marks Historical Rehabilitation Act of 1976, Health and Safety Code Sections 37600- 37684, authorizes cities and counties to make long -term, low- interest loans to finance the rehabilitation of properties of historic or architectural significance. The State has determined that "Unless local agencies have the authority to provide loans for the rehabilitation of historic properties, many properties • of historic or architectural • significance will continue to deteriorate at an accelerated rate because loans from private sources are not sufficiently available for their rehabilitation. It is the'policy of the state to preserve, protect, and restore the historical and architectural resources of the state." O The California Heritage Fund is created in the State Treasury and is administered by the office. Money in the fund shall be available, upon appropriation by the Legislature, to implement laws providing for historical resource preservation. These funds are usually disbursed on a grant basis to Local governments or non -profit organizations involved in historic preservation programs: ' • Federal Ltcennives: Listing of historic properties on the National Register of Historic Places provides federal incentives. Investment tax credits are provided for the substantial rehabilitation of certified historic structures, and tax deductions are permitted for the contribution of easements on historic properties.to qualified entities: At this time, the only structure within the City is on the National Register of Historic Places is the Old City Hall building. Therefore, the federal incentive programs have very limited applicability within the community. • • • H; ;c PrograrnCC Direction staff Report 12 • • Historic Preservation Program — Request for City Council Direction City Council Staff Report • March 13, 2000 FISCAL IMPACT Unknown at this time. If the City Council determines it is appropriate to proceed with a formal preservation program effort, staff would recommend the preparation of a "Request for Qualifications" (RFQ's) from appropriate architectural historians and consulting firms to prepare the recommended documents. Upon receipt and consideration of the RFQ's, the Council could determine if it wished to proceed with implementation and budget the appropriate funds as part of the 2000 -2001 Fiscal Year Budget. Alternatively, Council may consider a Less formal approach enlisting the assistance of the Historical Society and other citizen volunteers in working with staff to identify structures of interest, focusing on outreach efforts and restoration incentives for project owners willing to participate in a voluntary program.

Ms. Corbin mentioned a letter directed to the Council from Mrs. Brendel with a request that it be read in objection to an adjacent swimming pool with np self- closing gate, also a tent on the beach without a Coastal permit, rules are not being followed.. Ms. Corbin continued, spoke with regard to alleged removal of personnel rights of the City Manager in.a closed session, this after the former finance director met with Council in closed session, this should have been done in open session, Charter responsibilities can not be discussed in that manner, this • is against the Brown Act and it was not reported to the public,. therefore testate that decisions are not made in closed sessions is not correct. There being no further comments, Mayor ProTem Doane declared Public Comments to be • - closed. - COUNCIL ITEMS • DOUSING PRESERVATION ORDINANCE Councilman Boyd clarifiedthat this item is unrelated to the • current bed and breakfast issue and relocation of the Krenwinkle.and Proctor homes. Councilman Boyd noted that • • with the current housing market dictating demolition of • older homes in Seal Beach and the recent discussion of • historic home preservation led -him to bring this issue to the Council for discussion, aside from the current issue, • • . there is the matter of how to incentivize historic home preservation, depending upon•how preservation is • accomplished there has been support expressed by residents for maintaining some of the historic homes in the community and neighborhoods, the recent trend has been to level old ' beach cottages on fifty foot lots, subdivide and build two • .. • custom homes. He- recalled that about a year ago the Council • • authorized a combination grant /loan program to assist • moderate income families with exterior rehabilitation of qualified homes in an effort to preserve the existing • housing stock, his belief is that the City needs to go to the next step and help to preserve the historic homes in •this•cowmunity but without offering a direct financial • incentive of taxpayer dollars. Councilman Boyd requested approval to direct the City Attorney.to draft an ordinance defining an historic home, this the - result of the recent discussions relating to the Proctor and Krenwinkle homes, specify by ordinance the terms for restoration and preservation, and last, for homeowners who perform qualified • res toration of a historic home in Seal Beach, a property tax reduction of up to fifty percent provided that the home is maintained as an owner /occupied home. and meets the guidelines set forth by ordinance. Councilman Boyd said his belief is that this would preserve the historic homes within the City, insures that property values continue to rise, provides legal guidelines for restoration, and offers • preservation without the financial assistance of government. . • Councilman Boyd moved to direct the City Attorney to prepare a draft ordinance to reflect the issues outlined, then allow • . ' • the citizens to:provide input thereto. Councilman Snow • seconded the motion. As a technical point, Mayor ProTem Doane pointed out that it was the Redevelopment Agency rather than the City that authorized •the home incentive program. •He mentioned too that the most difficulty will be with the definition,.he would- support the comment relating to charming, old beach cottages so long as they are restored and maintained otherwise they could become an undesirable property. Councilman Boyd again offered his reasoning for requesting consideration of this proposal. • - Page Seven •- City Council Minutes - January 10, 2000 Mt. Gordon Shanks, Surf Place, suggested that before the City Attorney goes forward with this proposal he should discuss the matter with the Director of Development Services, his recollection is that something from a historical perspective was done when BJ's Pizzeria went in, it is believed also that there is reference material relating to.older houses in City Hall. Noting his support for this proposal, Ir..Shanks posed the question that from a legal standpoint can the. City do anything more than half of • the property tax, also inquired as to the percentage of property tax that the City receives.. The response vas about -- fifteen percent and the Council could determine to issue • • rebates at any level desired. fps. Jane McCloud, Balboa Drive, expressed her support for the proposal, however suggested that some investigation' be done of.other - communities that do restoration /preservation on a regular basis, the City of Orange a good example where it is not only homes but businesses as well. To the question as to whether the Historical Society has any type of guidelines for an historical home, Mr. Shanks made reference to a walking tour brochure that was developed by the Womens Club'. any years ago.' Ms. McCloud made reference to the two very • small beach type cottage homes_ on 12th Street where it would 1 be a shame if they -were lost, possibly an area could be found where several old homes could be located and available to- tourists. Councilman Boyd explained that the impetus for • proposing this was to involve the. community inasmuch. as the - bed and breakfast issue caught a number of people off guard, suggested again that guidelines be drafted, possibly develop a site review committee; do this in a fair manner and involve a number of'people as this is an eclectic community. The City Manager mentioned that model ordinances exist for historic preservation, it may be well to collect and review - • other documents before drafting an ordinance for this • community, determine to what extent the desires, what the potential for preservation of homes in this community is, how costly a process is desired.' Ms.. Sue Corbin said she too. believes in saving the older. homes, the Stanton House as an example should have been saved,- but the answer is not • • • - gutting'the interior "and merely.•saving the exterior, putting them on stilts, placing.two such dwellings on one lot, • allowing bed: and breakfast use with a zone overlay throughout the. community, -that is not historical • preservation. The motion was restated, authorizing the City • -- Manager and City Attorney- to. compile information for an ,/ - ordinance defining an historic home, the terms of restoration,. preservation, incentive, etc. • AYES: Boyd, Campbell, Doane, Snow NOES: None • . - - ABSENT: .

The Director indicated that the request is for direction as to when the Council may wish to consider the item, suggesting possibly during the next fiscal year budget process as there would be some fiscal impacts, or, to not pursue the matter further. The Interim Manager concurred with review during the budget process unless there is a forthcoming pressing issue. • Councilman Boyd moved to postpone this matter until the 2000/2001 budget review. To a question of Mayor Campbell, the Director explained that at this point the Council has officially designated two locally historic properties, the Krenwinkle and Proctor houses, in addition there is an unadopted list of properties compiled by staff based upon information gathered over the years. To the question as to whether anything may be proposed for any of the unofficial properties during the next year, the Director said that would be difficult to predict given there has been nothing proposed for the properties on the draft policy statement list since it was prepared in 1991, should something be forthcoming for any of those properties it would be presented to the Council for consideration as was the Krenwinkle and Proctor houses. Mayor Campbell said she would not want to see one of the historic dwellings torn down where the City would have no say. It was the consensus of the Council to table this matter until the next budget review. ?UBLIC HEARING / RESOLUTION NUMBER 4840 - APPEAL - CUP 00 -2 - 770 PACIFIC COAST HIGHWAY - STARBUCKS Mayor Campbell declared the public hearing open to consider the appeal of the Planning Commission approval of Conditional Use Permit 00 -2, Starbucks coffee house.

The National Park Service is a ' ° ' ' ^ `' ' major source of support, but preservation assistance is also available, either directly or indirectly, from many other agencies. This guide is a .,, -... / /'r. ,,.,, . ,,,1,,..--- /A,..4;..,.1.+..,.1 ACHP 1 Sources of Financial Assistance for Historic Preservation Projects Page 2 of 3 clearinghouse of information on Federal historic preservation support, and also touches upon State, tribal, local, and nonprofit funding sources. Successful historic preservation projects can significantly benefit communities by increasing property values, creating jobs, and improving economic vitality through initiatives such as heritage tourism. • Historic preservation projects need firm financial foundations to succeed, and a significant amount of funding is available from a wide variety of sources. We hope that this guide helps you navigate these diverse opportunities. John L. Nau, III Chairman Advisory Council on Historic Preservation 2002 • Overview In 1853, when Ann Pamela Cunningham launched the first successful • nationwide preservation effort—to preserve George Washington's Mount Vernon —there were no established funding sources to turn to and virtually no precedent for government funding of historic preservation. The situation is radically different today, almost 150 years later. Preservation efforts in America are funded by a diverse network of sources from all levels of government and the private sector. The Advisory Council on Historic Preservation has established this clearinghouse of information to assist the preservation community and the general public in exploring the range of preservation funding options. The emphasis is on Federal funding, with more limited discussion of State, tribal, local, and non - profit funding opportunities. Please remember that individuals cannot apply directly to the Federal Government for most Federal historic preservation funding. Such . money generally goes to State, tribal, or local governments and non- profit organizations. Please visit the Web sites referenced for each program to ascertain how funds are allocated. Most programs will have links to a specific program Web site as well as the program's listing in the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance, both of which provide detailed information on eligibility and-application requirements.

INCENTIVES AND ASSISTANCE OHP administers the 20% Federal Rehabilitation Tax Credit for Califomia in partnership with the National Park Service pursuant to federal regulations (36 CFR Part 67). OHP acts on behalf of the NPS as the initial reviewer of projects submitted for preservation tax credits. Review is based on conformance of the project with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation - 44...11,.1,... ,..,...1,.. -- l,],.4 .,1+ ,...- ,.n......... :.1 -1 11-7A 11 innnc Incentives and Architectural Review Page 2 of 2 (Standards) and the quality of submitted written information, photographic • documentation, and architectural plans. Review may involve consultation with the project team, site visits, and recommendations for alternative designs, construction solutions, or preservation techniques to ensure compliance with the Standards for subsequent NPS approval. California ranked 9 in the country in the amount of investments certified for Fiscal Year 2003 with total investments of $76,018,062 divided among 14 projects. • Assistance, coordination, and consultation may also be available on a number of other programs and potential incentives available to qualified historic properties in California. ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW AND ASSISTANCE Architectural review, technical assistance, and consultation are provided for projects involving qualified historic properties in which the Office has a regulatory role. Such programs may include Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act, including HUD projects involving historic properties, and state requirements under Sections 5024, 5024.5, and 5028 of the California Public Resources Code, CEQA, and Governor's Executive Order W- 26 -92. Review is based on conformance with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties (Standards). For all other projects, the Office may provide advisory comments strictly in regard to the interpretation of the Standards but will not provide written comments. OHP Unit Staff also provides guidance and assistance in the following areas: • • • Interpretation and application of the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties; • General assistance with and interpretation of the California Historical Building Code and provisions for qualified historic properties under the • • Americans with Disabilities Act; o Outreach and educational presentations on the Standards and Incentives available for historic properties; • Development of incentives for historic preservation in consultation with other OHP units. INCENTIVES FOR HISTORIC PRESERVATION IN CALIFORNIA A wide variety of incentives are available to give property owners motivation to repair and rehabilitate historical resources rather than turn to demolition and new construction. Although many such incentives are offered by local governments and therefore vary between jurisdictions in California, other incentives are offered by federal and state government. These include federal tax credits for rehabilitation of qualified historical resources, property tax abatement programs, . alternative building codes, and tax deductions for preservation easements. Incentives are an extremely important component of any historic preservation program. More information is provided in Technical Assistance Bulletin #15 Title.

A review of the listed properties compared to what currently exists is surprisingly similar. The only property that has substantially changed is the Commander Sleeth House, which was originally constructed in 1938 and received a major remodel and addition in 1991. In the interest of time, and since the Planning Commission is familiar with the building, the Water Tower residence is not included. Also, photographs of the Seal Beach Inn & Gardens were added at the end for your information. 1 Christy D.

Status Report Re: Historic Preservation Program. 4 5 Staff Report D AV 11 r�E 6 7 Ms. Teague delivered the staff report. (Staff Report is on file for inspection in the 8 Planning Department.) She provided some background information on this item and 9 indicated that the subject of Historic Preservation has twice been previously addressed 10 in public hearings before City Council (CC) in 1991 and 2000. She stated that Staff 11 recommends if the Planning Commission (PC) wishes to pursue this issue once again, 12 that this recommendation be made to CC. She noted that in response to the discussion 13 at the meeting of March 23, 2005, Staff has provided photographs of the historic 14 structures currently listed on the City's policy statement. She noted that only the 15 Commander Sleeth House at 404 Ocean Avenue has undergone a major remodel. 16 17 Commissioner Questions 18 19 Commissioner Ladner asked what the size of the Sleeth House was prior to the 20 remodel /addition. Ms. Teague stated that in looking at the building permit file, it 21 appears that 4,000 square feet were added to the home. 22 23 Commissioner Comments 24 25 Commissioner Deaton stated that she believes it is important to proceed with the 26 Historic Preservation Program because a number of historic homes are currently in 27 jeopardy of being demolished. 28 29 Commissioner Roberts asked if there were any reason why this issue ended up "stalled" 30 at the CC level. Ms. Teague stated that due to budget constraints in the year 2000 and 31 other matters taking priority, CC did not pursue this issue. Commissioner Roberts 32 stated that his concern is that the City's financial status has not changed all that much 33 since 2000. He suggested scheduling another study session to attempt to come up with 34 other alternatives, such as getting the Historical Society more involved, or perhaps 35 hiring a consultant to help prepare a presentation package for review by CC. 36 37 Commissioner Deaton stated that as she understands, CC simply needs to make the 38 determination that these homes should go on a list of historic structures, and there 39 should not be a need to hire consultants to accomplish this. Mr. Abbe stated that from a 40 legal standpoint it is best to conduct a citywide survey rather than identifying specific 41 properties on a piecemeal basis. He indicated that this could be considered "spot 42 zoning," which is to withdraw certain property rights from specific properties. 43 44 Commissioner Roberts stated that the last survey had been done in 1991 and, perhaps, 45 this information needs to be updated. Page 3 of 10 City of Seal Beach Planning Commission Meeting Minutes of April 6, 2005 1 Commissioner Sharp stated that he has concerns about this issue, as when a property 2 is declared a National Historic Site, this would prevent the owners of the property from 3 making any changes to the structure. 4 5 Commissioner Ladner stated that the owner of the property could do whatever he or she 6 wants on the inside of the structure, but the outside must remain the same. 7 8 Commissioner Roberts stated that in reading the Staff Report he noted that the property 9 owner does have the option of agreeing to have his or her home designated as a 10 historic structure or deciding not to do so. He indicated that perhaps some form of 11 incentive could be presented to encourage the propert . to agree to the 12 restrictions on historic structures. f rs -- 13 Ms. Teague noted that these homes might appear on a list of historic buildings that the 15 Women's Club compiled twenty years ago. She explained that one of these older 16 homes built in the early 1920's -30's on multiple Tots might be an interesting house, but 17 the lots are now worth a lot of money, and if the house has not been well maintained, 18 the value of these properties would be in the Tots and not in the structure(s). She stated 19 that if the historic value is there, and if someone wishes to restore the home all the 20 better, but the monetary value of the lot will probably take precedence, and for the City 21 to impose restrictions on the sale of these lots for redevelopment would be difficult, as 22 there are definitely some private property issues involved. She noted that one of the 23 homes on the list of historic structures currently has a "Sold" sign posted in front of it. 24 25 Mr. Abbe added that Commissioner Sharp was correct in stating that the fundamental 26 basis of historic preservation is whether or not a private property has the right to 27 renovate or remodel without regard to the historic significance of the structure. He 28 noted that this could potentially be seen as a takings issue. He stated that this is largely 29 a policy decision of the City, but, Commissioner Sharp has correctly identified the legal 30 problem of the City imposing restrictions on specific houses without having a 31 comprehensive set of standards that outline who the decision making body would be, 32 whether or not an economic hardship exemption would be included to prevent takings 33 challenges, how broad the definition of "historic" would be, etc. He noted that from a 34 legal standpoint the City could create restrictions and state that houses of a specific age 35 and /or designed by specific architects are not to be demolished. 36 37 Commissioner Deaton stated that the reason she would like this issue to go before CC 38 is that if they are not interested in pursuing implementation of a historic preservation 39 program, then, she does not believe the PC should spend any more time on this issue. 40 41 Mr. Abbe noted that it appears that there are two issues for which CC might provide 42 some guidance: 43 44 1. Whether or not to engage in a citywide survey. 45 2. Whether to re- examine the policy itself to determine how restrictive or permissive 46 the City wants to be. Page 4 of 10 City of Seal Beach Planning Commission Meeting Minutes of April 6, 2005 1 He noted that it is not really necessary to hire a consultant to assist with this issue. 2 3 Commissioner Deaton stated that she like Commissioner Roberts idea of getting the 4 Historical Society involved, as she believes this would be the appropriate body to help 5 with this process. She asked Ms. Teague which home had the "Sold" sign displayed. 6 Ms. Teague referred to Page 4 of the photographs and stated that the Morrison House 7 at 111 13 Street has been sold. Commissioner Deaton asked if the house appears on 8 the list what happens now? Ms. Teague stated that if the owner wishes to seek historic 9 designation through the State he or she can do so, but the City would not get involved in 10 this. She said that if the new owner chooses to demolish the current structure and 11 create new construction, he or she is free to do so. Mr. Abbe interjected that the new 12 owner is empowered to seek exceptions from the Building Code requirements in order 13 to preserve the property; however, currently there is no prohibition on demolition in the 14 City Code. Ms. Teague continued by stating that some cities would not prevent the 15 demolition, but would require that the owner document the house and its history and 16 value and take photographs of the structure before demolition. She noted that there are 17 ways of preserving the history of a home without taking away people's property rights. 18 19 Commissioner Roberts stated that he agreed with Commissioner Deaton with regard to 20 forwarding this issue to CC to "test the waters" and see if they choose to provide further 21 direction for the PC. 22 23 MOTION by Deaton; SECOND by Roberts to request direction from City Council with 24 regard to proceeding with exploring establishing a Historic Preservation Program. 25 26 MOTION CARRIED: 4 — 0 —1 27 AYES: Ladner, Deaton, Roberts, anSSarp 28 NOES: None 29 ABSENT: Shanks 30 31 Commissioner Roberts added an amendment to the motion to add a request for 32 direction regarding restricting private property rights. 33 34 Commissioner Sharp noted that with the current financial state of the City he believes 35 that this would be needlessly taking up a lot of CC and PC time, but he would still vote 36 to forward this request to CC. 37 38 MOTION by Roberts; SECOND by Deaton to request direction from City Council with 39 regard to proceeding with exploring establishing a Historic Preservation Program and 40 restriction of private property rights. 41 42 MOTION CARRIED: 4 — 0 —1 43 AYES: Ladner, Deaton, Roberts, and Sharp 44 NOES: None 45 ABSENT: Shanks 46 Page 5 of 10 Historic Preservation Program — Consideration of Planning Commission Request for Direction City Council Staff Report April 25, 2005 ATTACHMENT 4 PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTE EXCERPT RE: HISTORIC PRESERVATION DISCUSSION, MARCH 23, 2005 Historic Preservation Program.CC Staff Report.04 -25-05 r ' CITY OF SEAL BEACH PLANNING COMMISSION 3 4 Minutes of March 23, 2005 5 6 7 Chairperson Ladner called the regularly scheduled meeting of the Planning Commission 8 to order at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, March 23, 2005.

Page 1 of 11 c' taking pictures of all the historical buildings in Seal Beach. She noted that these photographs were used in a recent Red Car exhibit, which reflected that approximately 3 three quarters of the homes photographed are no longer in existence. Ms. Stegman 4 stated that in particular, she is concerned with preservation of the property at the 5 intersection of 12 Street and Central Avenue, which was formerly the Willard Hotel and 6 had been owned by her grandparents. She indicated that this structure is scheduled for 7 demolition, which is a shame. She encouraged more preservation of historic buildings 8 in town and recounted how she had purchased the Red Car with a $350 grant and now 9 its value is accessed at $100,000. She stated that when these historic properties go up 10 for sale, developers are buying them up and demolishing the structures in order to 11 construct 2 or 3 huge homes on these lots. She emphasized that saving even 1 or 2 of 12 these historic homes would help preserve some of the history of Seal Beach. She 13 asked if the Seal Beach Inn is also to be demolished. Commissioner Deaton stated that 14 she is aware that this property is currently up for sale. 15 16 There being no one else wishing to speak, Chairperson Ladner closed oral 17 communications. • 18 19 20 CONSENT CALENDAR 21 22 1.

Commissioner Deaton then asked related to Limitation No. 3, how many 3 service stations are located outside a C -2 General Commercial Zone? Ms. Teague 4 reported that there are none, as service stations are only permitted in the C -2 Zone. 5 Commissioner Deaton then stated that she is not certain what Limitation No. 4 means. 6 She asked what the word "limitations" refers to. Mr. Whittenberg responded that this 7 means convenience markets are not permitted within 1,000 feet of these sensitive uses. 8 Commissioner Deaton asked that the text be revised to make this clearer. Ms. Teague 9 stated that in the proposed text for the ordinance the text reads, "The business shall not 10 be located within 1000 feet of a park, religious institution, or school ..." 11 12 Mr. Whittenberg stated that if the Commissioners are comfortable with what has been 13 presented, Staff would proceed to process a formal Zone Text Amendment (ZTA) to 14 bring back at a public hearing for consideration and recommendation to City Council. 15 The Commissioner was in agreement with the information presented. Commissioner 16 Roberts emphasized that residential areas must be carefully considered when reviewing 17 applications for service station convenience markets selling alcohol. 18 19 20 STAFF CONCERNS _ 21 ' 22 Mr. Whittenberg noted that .regarding the potential sale of The Seal Beach Inn, as mentioned during Oral Communications, Staff has been approached by individuals (— indicating that the property is available for sale and who had inquired about changing 25 the use of the property to single - family residential. He said that Staff did explain to 26 these individuals that the historical significance of this property would very quickly rise 27 to the forefront as a major issue related to this property. 28 • 29 30 COMMISSION CONCERNS 31 32 Commissioner Sharp inquired about work on the Carl's Jr. Restaurant. Mr. Whittenberg 33 stated that the developer is waiting for the ground to dry out enough to allow for pouring 34 of the foundation. He noted that the Seal Beach area has had the wettest winter since 35 1877. Commissioner Sharp asked if there were further information on the proposed 36 hotel for the Boeing property. Mr. Whittenberg stated that there is nothing new to 37 report. Commissioner Sharp then thanked Staff for getting all of the necessary 38 approvals completed to begin work on the new Leisure World buildings. 39 40 Commissioner Deaton stated that she would like Staff to put together a list of the 41 historic homes that remain in Seal Beach, so that the PC could begin to send 42 recommendations to City Council for preservation of historic structures. She noted that 43 the Seal Beach Inn is a nationally recognized bed and breakfast and is a historic 44 structure, which the City should not risk losing to another set of row houses. She 4 5 indicated that the Krenwinkle home was moved and has been preserved as a beautiful new bed and breakfast. She also mentioned the historic home at the corner of Ocean Page 9 of 11 City of Seal Beach Planning Commission Meeting Minutes of March 23, 2005 (...' Avenue and Second Street and emphasized the need to take action to help save this structure. 3 4 Commissioner Sharp said that he has a problem in asking an overworked Staff to do 5 this, and would rather delegate this to the Historical Society. Commissioner Deaton 6 stated that she had spoken with Laura Aliotto, who indicated that she had already given 7 the list to Staff. Mr. Whittenberg interjected that the City had begun this process when 8 there was concern for potential demolition of the Krenwinkle and the Proctor houses. 9 He stated that Staff had prepared a report for City Council to help walk through what the 10 process would be for designating structures on a local historical listing. He said that at 11 that time Staff had included a list of a number of structures in town identified primarily by 12 the Women's Club Walking Tour of Historic Seal Beach. He noted that a Staff Report 13 already exists that is 2 -3 years old and provides a general outline of the process, but 14 some of structures that originally appeared on the list are no longer in existence. He 15 said that Staff could include this report on the next agenda. 16 17 Commissioner Shanks noted that the leadership for The Seal Beach Historical Society 18 is in transition and he would prefer that Staff acquire information on the guidelines of 19 historic preservation from the State of California. Mr. Whittenberg stated that most of 20 this background work was done as part of the analysis completed 3 years ago. 21 22 Commissioner Deaton asked what the outcome of this process had been. Mr. Whittenberg reported that City Council had adopted a policy statement that established C_. a locally designated list of historic structures, and had also added the Krenwinkle House 25 and the Proctor House to the list. He noted that when the proposal was presented to 26 demolish and rebuild the Proctor House generally in conformance with the previous 27 structure, this was not an issue for this list. Commissioner Deaton asked what the 28 process would be to have more homes placed on this list. Mr. Whittenberg stated that 29 this would be determined by City Council. Commissioner Deaton asked how this 30 process would begin. Mr. Whittenberg stated that the PC would receive an overview 31 report from Staff at its next meeting and it could then undertake discussion to see if the 32 Commission wishes to make recommendations to Council to proceed with this issue. 33 Commissioner Deaton noted that one of the concerns she hears over and over from 34 residents is that Seal Beach is losing its history. Commissioner Deaton then stated that 35 the PC still needs to address the issue of "mansionization," and should review this issue 36 as soon as possible. 37 38 Commissioner Shanks stated that he was not aware that on the rear half of a 37.5 or 39 50 -foot lot you could build up to a height of 35 feet. He said that he was under the 40 impression that the limit in Old Town was 25 feet, except for those homes that were 41 grandfathered in. Mr. Whittenberg stated that the provision that allows this has been a 42 longstanding part of the Code since long before he began working with the City, over 15 43 years ago. Commissioner Shanks noted that eliminating this might be one way of 44 slowing down mansionization, and the PC should push to limit the height in Old Town to a5 25 feet for all size lots. Commissioner Shanks then asked if there had been any further L Page 10 of 11
