BUDGET MONITORING REPORT QUARTER ENDING SEPTEMBER 30, 2023

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This Budget Monitoring Report details and analyzes economic indicators and forecasts based on certain assumptions and published projections through the quarter ending September 30, 2023.

While unemployment numbers remain relatively stable, we continue to see cracks in the economy as inflationary numbers and high interest rate lessen consumer confidence.

NATIONAL ECONOMIC INDICATORS AND FORECASTS
U.S. Leading Economic Index
The Conference Board Leading Economic Index® (LEI) for the U.S. declined by 0.7 percent in September 2023 to 104.6 (2016=100), following a decline of 0.5 percent in August. The LEI is down 3.4 percent over the six-month period between March and September 2023, an improvement from its 4.6 percent contraction over the previous six months (September 2022 to March 2023).
“The LEI for the US fell again in September, marking a year and a half of consecutive monthly declines since April 2022,” said Justyna Zabinska-La Monica, Senior Manager, Business Cycle Indicators, at The Conference Board. “In September, negative or flat contributions from nine of the index’s ten components more than offset fewer initial claims for unemployment insurance.

Although the six-month growth rate in the LEI is somewhat less negative, and the recession signal did not sound, it still signals risk of economic weakness ahead. So far, the US economy has shown considerable resilience despite pressures from rising interest rates and high inflation.

Nonetheless, The Conference Board forecasts that this trend will not be sustained for much longer, and a shallow recession is likely in the first half of 2024.”

BUDGET MONITORING REPORT QUARTER ENDING SEPTEMBER 30, 2023 Consumer Price Index
The Consumer Price Index for All Urban
Consumers (CPI-U) rose 0.4 percent in
September on a seasonally adjusted basis,
after increasing 0.6 percent in August, the
U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported in
October. Over the last 12 months, the all
items index increased 3.7 percent before
seasonal adjustment. The index for shelter
was the largest contributor to the monthly
all items increase, accounting for over half
of the increase. An increase in the gasoline
index was also a major contributor to the all
items monthly rise. While the major energy
component indexes were mixed in September, the energy index rose 1.5 percent over the month.

The food index increased 0.2 percent in September, as it did in the previous two months. The index for food at home increased 0.1 percent over the month while the index for food away from home rose 0.4 percent.

The index for all items less food and energy rose 0.3 percent in September, the same increase as in August. Indexes which increased in September include rent, owners' equivalent rent, lodging away from home, motor vehicle insurance, recreation, personal care, and new vehicles. The indexes for used cars and trucks and for apparel were among those that decreased over the month.

The all items index increased 3.7 percent for the 12 months ending September, the same increase as the 12 months ending in August. The all items less food and energy index rose 4.1 percent over the last 12 months. The energy index decreased 0.5 percent for the 12 months ending September, and the food index increased 3.7 percent over the last year.

Municipal Cost Index
The Municipal Cost Index (MCI)
increased 0.3 percent in September after
increasing 0.8 percent in August and 0.4
percent in July. Overall, the MCI has
increased 1.4 percent over the past
twelve months. The MCI reflects the
impact of the costs of labor, materials
and contract services on the actual
inflation experienced by the City. These
costs are all factored into the composite
MCI. Major indicators of these items used
for the MCI include the Consumer Price
Index, the Producer Price Index and the
construction cost indexes published by
the U.S. Department of Commerce.

BUDGET MONITORING REPORT QUARTER ENDING SEPTEMBER 30, 2023 U.S. Unemployment Rate
Total nonfarm payroll employment
increased by 336,000 in September, and
the unemployment rate was unchanged at

3.8 percent, the U.S. Bureau of Labor
Statistics reported today. Job gains
occurred in leisure and hospitality;
government; health care, professional,
scientific, and technical services; and
social assistance. The unemployment rate
held at 3.85 percent in September. The
number of unemployed persons was
unchanged at 6.4 million. The number of
long-term unemployed (those jobless for
27 weeks or more) was little changed at 1.2 million in September. The long-term unemployed accounted for 19.1 percent of all unemployed persons.

Federal Funds Rate (Discount Rate)
A recent statement issued by the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) indicators suggest that economic activity expanded at a strong pace in the third quarter. Job gains have moderated since earlier in the year but remain strong, and the unemployment rate has remained low. Inflation remains elevated. The U.S. banking system is sound and resilient. Tighter financial and credit conditions for households and businesses are likely to weigh on economic activity, hiring, and inflation. The extent of these effects remains uncertain. The Committee remains highly attentive to inflation risks.

STATE AND LOCAL ECONOMIC INDICATORS AND FORECASTS
State and Local Unemployment
The state unemployment rate held at 4.6
percent in July and in August before
inclining to 4.7 percent in September.

The County of San Diego and the City of
La Mesa unemployment rates increased
from 3.9 percent and 4.0 percent
respectively in July to 4.3 percent and

4.3 percent respectively in August
before each decreasing to 4.0 percent
and 3.7 percent respectively in
September.

CITY OF LA MESA PAGE 5
BUDGET MONITORING REPORT QUARTER ENDING SEPTEMBER 30, 2023 Total nonfarm employment in California
expanded by 8,700 positions. August’s
gains were also revised down to 8,900,
a 19,000 decrease to the preliminary
estimate of 27,900.

As of September 2023, California has
recovered all of the jobs that were lost
in March and April 2020 (the beginning
of the pandemic), and there are now
436,400 more people employed in the
state compared to pre-pandemic
February 2020. Since that time, total
nonfarm employment in California has grown 2.5% compared to a 3.0% increase nationally. On an annual basis, California increased payrolls by 1.7% from September 2022 to September 2023, trailing the 2.1% increase at the national level over the same period.

California’s unemployment rate rose slightly to 4.7% in the latest numbers, up 0.1 percentage points from the previous month. The state’s unemployment rate remains elevated relative to the

3.8% rate in the United States overall. California continues to struggle with its labor supply, which fell by 17,700 in September, a decrease of 0.1% on a month-over-month basis. Since February 2020, the state’s labor force has contracted by 216,300 workers, a 1.1% decline.

Local Sales Tax Allocations
La Mesa’s receipts from April through
June were 4.13 percent below the first
sales period in 2022, and place of sale
collections were down at 2.8 percent.

The regional economy demonstrated
strength during the first three months
of the year. The City’s largest sales tax
group, general consumer goods,
declined 5.0 percent. The City’s
allocations from the countywide use
tax pool dropped 4.8 percent. The
pools remain a solid source of local
revenue, bolstered by taxes on e-commerce.

The largest shift in sales tax is the change in the County Pool and the allocation of tax revenue.

These reductions were expected and reflected in the budget. Restaurants and food and drugs remain positive in overall growth. Slow-down has occurred in autos & transportation, building & construction, and fuel & service stations.

Proposition L continues to bring in positive results supported by restaurant, food & drug, autos & transportation, and general consumer goods.

BUDGET MONITORING REPORT QUARTER ENDING SEPTEMBER 30, 2023

STATE BUDGET
Governor Gavin Newsom released the May Revision to his proposed 2023-24 California state budget on May 12, projecting a $31.5 billion shortfall, up from a projected $22.5 billion shortfall in January. The administration proposes to resolve the shortfall through a series of spending reductions, trigger cuts, and delays or deferrals of spending authorized in earlier years as well as through internal borrowing and fund shifts. The $224 billion General Fund spending plan would protect many ongoing investments made in prior years, mostly maintains state reserves that are projected to total $37.2 billion, and rejects raising revenues to continue to invest in Californians.

GENERAL FUND SUMMARY
General Fund Resources
General Fund revenues received through the first quarter of fiscal year 2023-2024 are in line with budget expectations at 12.4 percent. The General Fund’s major revenue sources, property tax and sales tax (both base sales & use tax and Proposition L transaction tax) are not received at regular intervals throughout the fiscal year, but rather towards the middle and end of the fiscal year with a final accrual received and recorded in mid-August. For this reason, revenue streams received from these sources through the first quarter of the fiscal year will not equate to 25 percent of the total annual revenues that are eventually received.

CITY OF LA MESA PAGE 7
BUDGET MONITORING REPORT QUARTER ENDING SEPTEMBER 30, 2023  Overall, total general fund revenues are meeting budgetary expectations for the fiscal year but came in higher when compared to the same period last fiscal year.  Property tax revenues are not received until the second quarter.

 Sales tax revenues received through the first quarter FY24 are meeting budgetary expectations and are above when compared to the same time last year  Proposition L sales tax revenues are meeting budgetary expectations and, consistent with base sales tax, are above the same time last fiscal year.  Cannabis Tax was not fully collected by the time of this report  Other General Fund revenues, including licenses and permits, mostly due to building permit fees; revenue from other agencies, and service charge revenue from recreation classes and engineering fees are within budgetary expectations.

BUDGET MONITORING REPORT QUARTER ENDING SEPTEMBER 30, 2023 recovery of base sales and property taxes, and continued cost containment measures by departments, the General Fund reserves are projected to meet both the 15 percent Rainy Day Reserve target and the additional Cash Flow Reserve target of 25 percent in fiscal year 2023- 2024.

CONCLUSIONS
There are many factors to consider heading in to 2024 and monitoring the budget. While we have to account for what is going on globally that impacts our economy, there are local factors that play into the consensus as well. Student loan payments have commenced, interest rates are still historically high, the housing market is stagnating due to pricing and interest rates, and inflationary pricing has taken its toll. But, unemployment remains stable and people are still spending. We continue to remain cautious as we head into an election year and will continue to make adjustments as needed.

READER’S GUIDE
Managing a municipality the size of La Mesa is, in many ways, like managing a for profit corporation. Instead of focusing upon bottom-line profits, La Mesa managers must skillfully steward public dollars and ensure the effectiveness and efficiency of the City’s operations. They must live within legislatively approved budgets that are reviewed by residents, business leaders, and others interested in the City.

Like private corporations, public entities report their financial condition on a regular basis.

Corporations make reports to stockholders while public entities report to their “stakeholders” -- the individuals and organizations that have a “stake” in the entity’s operations.

In addition to an annual financial report and biennial budget document, the City of La Mesa publishes a quarterly Budget Monitoring Report to provide stakeholders with current information about the City’s financial condition and performance in the essential areas of the City’s operations.

This report is designed to give the reader a sense of how well La Mesa is doing fiscally and what its current successes or challenges might be. It includes a high level overview of the City’s financial condition followed by more detailed information on resources and expenditures for those readers who are interested in going beyond the bottom line.

This Reader’s Guide has been developed to assist you in reviewing the City of La Mesa’s quarterly Budget Monitoring Report. It highlights the type of information contained in each section and presents a glossary of commonly used budget terms.

Please contact Tammi Royales at 619.667.1122 if you have any questions, comments, or suggestions.

PORTFOLIO VALUE:

The City’s portfolio ended the quarter with a market value of $72,086,129. This represents a discount of $3,866,173 from par value, or purchase price. As the City maintains an Investment Policy that follows a strict “buy and hold” strategy, there is no economic gain or loss upon call or maturity. The City’s securities continue to earn interest at the stated rates through the dates of redemption.

LIQUIDITY:

Liquidity meets the statutory requirements with $24,601,302 in LAIF for immediate availability. “LAIF” stands for Local Agency Investment Fund, and is operated by the California State Treasurer to act as an immediate-access account for local governments and special districts in California.

EARNINGS:

Investment earnings from the invested portfolio of government agency bonds, corporate securities, and certificates of deposit, but excluding LAIF, for the current quarter collected from July 1, 2023, through September 30, 2023, total $278,961, which represents an annualized rate of 2.17%. Investment earnings from LAIF for the current quarter total $260,887, which represents an annualized rate of 4.24%. Combined, investment earnings were $539,848, representing a total annualized rate of return of 2.84% for this quarter.

Please note that this represents interest payments and dividends actually earned by the City during the quarter, and may not necessarily reflect all interest payments and dividends payable to the City for the current quarter due to differing payment schedules and variable interest rates.

PORTFOLIO COMPLIANCE
The portfolio complies with California code sections concerning safety and liquidity in the investment of public funds. Investment strategies are based on liquidity requirements and interest rate projections and have been collaboratively determined by the City Treasurer, City Manager, and Director of Finance. The City Treasurer executes trades in accordance with these strategies.

Required Contents of Investment Reports
California Government Code Section 53646(b) suggests that the quarterly investment report of a local agency contain certain items. These items include the type of investment, the issuer’s name, the date of maturity of the security, the par amount of the instrument, the market value, and the dollar amount invested in each security. The source of the market value also should be included in the report. The report also must reference all funds that are under the management of external investment providers, such as investment advisors and investment managers. A local government’s quarterly report, if submitted, must state the portfolio’s compliance with the agency’s investment policy or manner in which the portfolio is not in compliance. Finally, the investment report must include a statement regarding the local agency’s ability to meet its cash flow needs for the next six months.

Accordingly, I advise you of the following facts in compliance with Government Code Section 53646(b):

1. The source of the valuations included herein is U.S. Bank, Saint Paul, MN 55107.

2. No funds are under the management of external providers or managers. Investment decisions are made by a consensus of the City Treasurer, City Manager, and Director of Finance.

3. The City’s portfolio remains in strict compliance with the Investment Policy of the City of La Mesa for FY 2023-2024.

4. The City of La Mesa’s investment portfolio more than adequately assures the City’s ability to meet its cash flow needs during the ensuing six months.

Eight of the nine rapes reported in the 3rd Quarter of 2023 were committed by an individual known to the victim. Forty-four (44) percent of aggravated assaults were domestic violence related during the 3rd quarter of 2023. Domestic violence related assaults increased 75% in 2023 year-to-date compared to 2022.

Case Clearances
On 07/01/23, at approximately 11:50 PM, patrol officers responded to an alarm activation at the 7-Eleven convenience store located at 5726 Amaya Drive. The suspect approached the counter, lifted his shirt, implying he had a firearm, and demanded money from the cashier. The cashier complied, and the suspect fled on foot. La Mesa patrol officers later arrested the suspect at the Amaya Drive Trolley stop. He was convicted of PC 211 – Robbery and received a 15-year prison sentence, which was enhanced due to a prior felony strike on his record.

On 08/19/23, at approximately 11:37 AM, patrol officers responded to a radio call at the Grossmont Center Walmart. Two females reported being assaulted by a fellow shopper after a verbal altercation escalated inside the store. The suspect physically pushed the victims, causing them to fall and sustain injuries. Subsequently, one of the victims had to be transported to the hospital for evaluation and treatment. The suspect was located outside the store. The case was forwarded to the District Attorney's office for prosecution for PC 243(D) – Battery with serious injury. Furthermore, due to one of the victims being over the age of 65, an additional charge of PC 368 (b)(1) – Elder Abuse was also recommended.

On 09/05/23, at approximately 1:21 PM, patrol officers responded to a call about a male throwing rocks at a Grossmont Hospital security guard. The guard had initially asked the suspect to leave the hospital grounds due to loitering. In response, the suspect made a stabbing motion toward the guard. The guard quickly moved away and realized the suspect was not holding a weapon. The suspect then swung a pair of headphones at the guard, hitting the guard's arm. As the suspect walked away, he threw four, three-inch rocks at the guard's torso and head. The suspect was subsequently arrested and booked into San Diego County Jail for PC 245(a)(1) – Assault with a Deadly Weapon. Notably, La Mesa patrol officers had encountered the same individual three times in the previous three days, both at Grossmont Hospital and Grossmont Center mall. During that week, the suspect had been arrested twice for PC 647(f) – Drunk in public and cited for PC 594(b)(2)(a) – Vandalism over $400.

Case Clearances
On the morning of 08/04/23, La Mesa patrol officers were conducting an extra patrol of the Grossmont Trolley stop. Officers engaged in a consensual conversation with an individual who voluntarily disclosed he was in possession of methamphetamine. Subsequently, a consensual search was conducted, leading to the suspect’s arrest for 11377(a) H&S - Possession of a Controlled Substance (Methamphetamine) and 11364(a) H&S - Possession of Drug Paraphernalia. Further investigation revealed that inside the suspect’s four-wheeled wagon, there were 13 packages addressed to 13 separate individuals. All of the packages had addresses within the Jefferson apartment complex located at 4949 Baltimore Drive. The Jefferson property manager confirmed that the parcel room had been burglarized early that morning. The suspect was arrested and booked in Central Jail with an added 13 charges of 530.5 PC – Identity theft and one added charge of 459 PC – Burglary.

On 09/07/23, around 2:45 AM, two suspects used a chain tied to a stolen vehicle to forcibly remove the front security door of 5 Star Liquor, located at 7495 University Avenue. The suspects then fled in an unknown direction. Later that morning, La Mesa residents living south of the liquor store reported suspicious activity to the Police Department.

Subsequently, officers were able to locate and recover the stolen vehicle. Additionally, residents provided a license plate number for a second suspicious vehicle seen in the

Page 27 of 522 ends

4 neighborhood. This license plate was associated with a person of interest in the case and was known to investigators. The suspect also had a warrant for a parole violation. On 09/08/23, the suspect was arrested in Lemon Grove by the San Diego Sheriff’s Department. La Mesa Detectives added charges of 459 PC – Burglary, 594(B)(1) PC – Vandalism, and 182(A)(1) – Conspiracy to Commit a Crime to his booking at Central Jail.

On 09/22/23 at approximately 4:31 AM, La Mesa patrol officers responded to a call of a burglary in progress at La Cuesta Apartments, located at 7272 Saranac Street. The witness reported a subject was attempting to pry open the coin boxes to the laundry machines in the complex’s laundry room. The subject was unsuccessful and fled on foot.

From the CITY MANAGER
DATE: November 14, 2023
SUBJECT: RESOLUTIONS APPROVING THE AMENDED CITY OF
LA MESA COMPENSATION PLAN FOR FY 2023-2024,

INCLUDING NEW CLASSIFICATIONS AND SALARY

BANDS FOR DIRECTOR OF HUMAN RESOURCES,

ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGER, AND RECORDS

TECHNICIAN, AND POSITIONS AFFECTED BY THE

MINIMUM WAGE
ISSUING DEPARTMENT: City Manager
SUMMARY:

Issues:

1. Should the City Council adopt the attached resolution approving the amended City of La Mesa Compensation Plan for FY 2023-2024 effective November 23, 2023, including new classifications and salary bands for Director of Human Resources, Environmental Manager, and Records Technician; and

Recommendation:

1. That the City Council adopt the attached resolution approving the amended City of La Mesa Compensation Plan for FY 2023-2024 effective November 23, 2024, including new classifications and salary bands for Human Resources, Environmental Manager, and Records Technician; and

Page 71 of 522 ends

Report to Mayor and Councilmembers
Date: November 14, 2023
Page: 2 of 4
Fiscal Impact:

Environmental Manager: For Fiscal Year 2023-2024 the fiscal impact for reclassifying the Environmental Program Manager and Stormwater Program Manager to a newly added position increases the City’s Operating Budget by $99,620, which is spread across different budget accounts effecting the General Fund and Non-General Fund accounts. Due to various vacancies in FY 2023-2024 there is unspent salaries/benefits that will be available to program into the Operating Budget.

Records Technician: The position was included in the FYs 2023-2024 and 2024- 2025 Operating Budget. There is no fiscal impact for adding this position to the Classification and Compensation Index.

Minimum Wage Changes: The positions affected by the January 1, 2024 minimum wage increases are already budgeted and appropriated in the General Fund.

City’s Strategic Goals:
 Ensure a strong financial outlook through careful planning, sustainable service levels, and fiscal sustainability.
 Nurture an organizational culture where employees are recognized for the delivery of high-quality services to the community.

BACKGROUND:

It is important to maintain and keep current classification salary ranges to ensure they are in alignment with the scope of responsibility and complexity of assigned work. A primary goal of the City’s classification system is to promote efficiency and responsiveness to meet the needs and demands of the City, by creating new classifications and redefining position responsibilities for existing classifications.

DISCUSSION:

Periodically, staff reviews the City’s Classification and Compensation Index to address recruitment and retention needs. Following a most recent review, staff recommends the following changes:

1. Changes to the City’s Classification and Compensation Index effective November 23, 2023:

Page 72 of 522 ends

Report to Mayor and Councilmembers
Date: November 14, 2023
Page: 3 of 4
 Director of Human Resources: Staff has been evaluating the needs of the City and determined that a Director with a Human Resources background is needed to provide more focus on recruitment and retention of employees.

The salary band for the Director of Human Resources will match other department Director positions and will not result in an increase in total salaries or number of positions for the department.
 Environmental Manager: Staff recommends establishing a new position titled Environmental Manager. A reclassification review was conducted for the positions of Environmental Program Manager and Stormwater Program Manager. The reclassification review considered many factors such as supervision, hiring, judgement, decision making, policy/program development and implementation, and degree of independence. Based on the review, staff recommends the two incumbents (Environmental Program Manager and Stormwater Program Manager) be reclassified to Environmental Manager. The purpose of the new Environmental Manager class consists of providing a high degree and level of role and responsibility in managing the assigned environmental area for the City (sustainability or stormwater). The incumbents are required to possess a thorough and advanced level of knowledge of concepts, theories, principles, and practices of their environmental field at the time of hire.
 The proposed salary band for the Environmental Manager ($9,430 monthly to $11,463 monthly) is equal to the median of other agencies in San Diego County and is in the same band as other management classifications such as the Assistant to the City Manager, Communications Manager, Finance Manager, Information Technology Manager, Police Services Manager, and Risk Manager.  Records Technician: On August 8, 2023, the City Council adopted the Fiscal Year (FY) 2023-2024 and 2024-2025 Operating Budget. Included in the fiscal budget was the addition of a Records Technician position. The position was not included in the Classification and Compensation Index. Staff is recommended the position be added at this time to enable recruitment of the position. The position will assist with digital document processing as the City continues its technology implementation to online platforms.

The position was included in the FYs 2023-2024 and 2024-2025 Operating Budget; therefore, there is no fiscal impact resulting in the recommended addition.

2. Changes to the City Classification and Compensation Index effective January 1, 2024:

Page 73 of 522 ends

Report to Mayor and Councilmembers
Date: November 14, 2023
Page: 4 of 4
On January 1, 2024, the minimum wage will increase to $16.00/hour. The City’s Classification and Compensation Index must be updated to reflect this increase. There are ten classifications that will be affected: General Service Worker, Intern/Student Worker I, Intern/Student Worker II, Lifeguard Aide, Lifeguard/Instructor, Lead Lifeguard, Live Scan Operator, Recreation Aide, Recreation Leader and Recreation Specialist.

The City has accounted for the minimum wage increase during the Operating Budgeting process; therefore, there are no fiscal impacts associated with this change.

RECOMMENDATION:

1. Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached resolution approving the amended City of La Mesa Compensation Plan for FY 2023-2024 effective November 23, 2024, including new classifications and salary bands for Director of Human Resources, Environmental Manager, and Records Technician; and

2. Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached resolution approving the amended City of La Mesa Compensation Plan for FY 2023-2024 effective January 1, 2024, including positions affected by the minimum wage increase.

APPLICATION FOR THE REGIONAL TASK FORCE ON
THE HOMELESS FISCAL YEAR 2023 SUPER NOTICE
OF FUNDING OPPORTUNITY; ACCEPTING AND
APPROPRIATING FUNDS IF AWARDED; AND

APPOINTING THE CITY MANAGER, OR DESIGNEE,

TO EXECUTE ALL AGREEMENTS AND ANY

AMENDMENTS
ISSUING DEPARTMENT: City Manager’s Office
SUMMARY:

Issues:

Should the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing a grant application for the Regional Task Force on the Homeless Fiscal Year 2023 Super Notice of Funding Opportunity; accepting and appropriating funds if awarded; and appointing the City Manager, or designee, to execute all agreements and any amendments? Recommendation:

Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing a grant application for the Regional Task Force on the Homeless Fiscal Year 2023 Super Notice of Funding Opportunity; accepting and appropriating funds if awarded; and appointing the City Manager, or designee, to execute all agreements and any amendments.

Fiscal Impact:

The grant does not require a General Fund match. Funds in the amount of $1,231,570 have been requested to fund two new HOME Team positions (one clinical social worker and one outreach worker), rental assistance costs, and supportive services. If awarded, the funds will be appropriated to various General Fund and Non-General Fund accounts.

Strategic Goals:
 Maintain a community where residents and visitors feel safe.  Ensure a strong financial outlook through careful planning, sustainable service levels, and fiscal sustainability.
 Promote a high quality of life that current and future generations can afford to call home.

BACKGROUND:

The Regional Task Force on Homelessness (RTFH) is a 501(c)3 non-profit and is the designated lead of the San Diego City and County Continuum of Care (CoC), as designated by The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The RTFH is the administrative entity of the State of California funds and the direct recipient of other local, state, and philanthropic funding that has been identified to address homelessness in the San Diego Region. On October 2, 2023 the RTFH released a Super Notice of Funding Opportunity (“Super NOFO”), which includes multiple sources of funding. The Super NOFO’s was released to agencies who are interested in providing critical programs that align with the RTFH Regional Plan; focusing on access and movement toward housing for people experiencing homelessness.

DISCUSSION:

On October 31, 2023, staff applied for the Super NOFO in the amount of $1,231,570. All funds awarded from the grant must be fully expended by December 2025. The City requested funds to cover the cost of two additional HOME Team members until December 2025, at which time the City will continue to fund the costs as was approved by the Fiscal Year 2023-2024 and 2024-2025 Operating Budget. Additionally, the City requested funds to cover the costs of landlord engagement incentives, unit deposits, and rental assistance for occupants. If the program proves successful, the City will review City available funding and continue the program.

As homelessness is not an isolated issue, the City of La Mesa has been and plans to continue coordinating with its East County partners the Cities of El Cajon, Lemon Grove and Santee and the County of San Diego. If these funds are awarded, La Mesa anticipates that the use of resources will benefit the East County region.

CONCLUSION:

Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing a grant application for the Regional Task Force on the Homeless Fiscal Year 2023 Super Notice of Funding

REPORT to the MAYOR and MEMBERS of the CITY COUNCIL
From the CITY MANAGER
DATE: November 14, 2023
SUBJECT: PROJECT 2023-2346 (MACDOUGALL) -

CONSIDERATION OF A REQUEST TO DESIGNATE
THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 4987 COLINA DRIVE,
APN 494-120-34-00 AND 494-130-16-00 AS A

HISTORIC LANDMARK AND ESTABLISH A

PROPERTY PRESERVATION (MILLS ACT)

AGREEMENT FOR THE SITE
ISSUING DEPARTMENT: Community Development
SUMMARY:

Issue:

Does the property at 4987 Colina Drive qualify for designation as a historic landmark, and should the City enter into a property preservation (Mills Act) agreement with the owner?
Recommendation:

The Historic Preservation Commission recommends that the City Council adopt resolutions to 1) designate the property known as the Charlotte and John E. King House located at 4987 Colina Drive as a historic landmark (Attachment A) and 2) enter into a Mills Act Property Preservation Agreement with the property owner (Attachment B).

Fiscal Impact:

The amount of property tax to the City would be reduced by approximately $900 annually. In exchange for discounted property taxes, the City receives guaranteed property maintenance and improvements to ensure the ongoing preservation, rehabilitation, and restoration as stipulated in a property preservation agreement. Well maintained historic landmarks can increase property values in the neighborhood.

City’s Strategic Goals:
 Revitalize neighborhoods and corridors
 Ensure safe and affordable homes for La Mesa's current and future residents
Environmental Review:

This project is categorically exempt from environmental review pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15301 and 15331.

BACKGROUND:

The Historic Preservation Element of the General Plan provides a framework for the City’s Historic Preservation program, of which a Register of Historic Landmarks is a key component. Chapter 25.03 of the City’s Historic Preservation Ordinance provides for the designation of historic landmarks by the City Council. A cultural resource may be designated a historic landmark if it meets one or more of eight criteria listed below.

A. It exemplifies or reflects special elements of the City’s cultural, social, economic, political, aesthetic, engineering, or architectural history; B. It is identified with persons or events significant in local, state, or national history; C. It embodies distinctive characteristics of a style, type, period, or method of construction, or is a valuable example of the use of indigenous materials or craftsmanship;
D. It is representative of the notable work of an acclaimed builder, designer, or architect;
E. It is identified with a person or groups who significantly contributed to the culture and development of the City;
F. It embodies elements of outstanding attention to architectural design, detail materials, or craftsmanship;
G. It is an archeological or paleontological site which has the potential of yielding information of scientific value; or
H. It is a geographically definable area possessing a concentration of sites, buildings, structures, improvements, or objects linked historically through location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and/or association, in which the collective value of the improvements may be greater than the value of each individual improvement.

Report to Mayor and Councilmembers

Page: 3 of 6
Alterations to historic landmarks are subject to development approval by the Historic Preservation Commission (HPC) to ensure that cultural resources are being maintained in accordance with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation.

Properties with landmark designation are eligible for a reduced property tax assessment through the Mills Act, and the owners have applied for this benefit in conjunction with the landmark nomination. California Government Code Section 50280 et seq. authorizes cities to enter into property preservation agreements with owners of qualified historical properties to ensure the preservation, maintenance and restoration of historic properties through reduced property tax assessments. The preservation agreement has an initial 10-year term that automatically extends by one additional year on each anniversary of the effective date, unless either party files a notice of non-renewal.

The owner of 4987 Colina Drive has nominated the property to the local historic landmark registry. On October 3, 2023, the HPC conducted a public hearing and voted 4-0 to adopt resolutions (Attachments C and D) recommending that the City Council approve historical landmark designation and enter into a Mills Act Preservation Agreement with the owner.

DISCUSSION:

Located on the south side of Colina Drive east of Maiden Lane, the site sits near the top of a knoll overlooking the Downtown Village to the south. The property is listed as the Charlotte King House in the Historic Resources Inventory (Attachment E). A vicinity map is shown below, and the Assessor Parcel
map is provided as Attachment F.

As described in the nomination report
(Attachment G), the Charlotte King house was
constructed on a portion of Lot 69 of La Mesa
Colony in 1922, when developers Annie
Temple and Jane Judson embarked on a
project to build a group of small bungalows
called the “Colina Cottages” on this land. They
graded a road into the hillside and established
a footpath with steps from Orchard Avenue,
which remains today as a public stairway.

Ultimately only two of the cottages were built.

In 1928, the area was subdivided into “Colina
Del Sol,” nicknamed the little hill in the
sunshine.

Report to Mayor and Councilmembers
Date: November 14, 2023
Page: 4 of 6
The first residents of the property, Charlotte and John E. King, were community leaders active in local clubs and organizations. Mr. King was in the insurance and real estate business and actively promoted the many advantages of La Mesa’s ideal geography and climate. After his death in 1924, Mrs. King continued to live at the residence until 1956.

The property description in the nomination report notes the Craftsman Bungalow characteristics present on both the house and garage. Both structures are clad in wood shingles with gable and cross-gable roofs, with wide overhanging eaves and exposed rafter tails. The original windows are varied, single and double sash and at the front, vertical paned with small vertical panes at the top. Alterations to the house include construction of the back porch sometime between 1929 and 1949, enclosure of the front porch, replacement of some of the original windows with vinyl fixtures, and new wood shingle siding.

Overall the resource retains a good level of architectural integrity of location, setting, workmanship, and feeling, with a fair degree of design and materials from its 1922-1949 period of significance, and exhibits character-defining features of the Craftsman Bungalow style. For this reason, the HPC concluded the property is eligible for landmark designation under Criterion A as a special element of Colina Del Sol’s architectural and landscaping development, and Criterion C, for embodying distinctive characteristics of the Craftsman Bungalow style of architecture. With the landmark designation, the proposed historic name of the resource would be the Charlotte and John E. King House in recognition of both of the original owners.

Mills Act Agreement
While the site and improvements are in excellent condition, the owners have identified a number of planned rehabilitation projects. Those improvements would be funded with the Mills Act tax savings and are therefore proposed for inclusion in the Mills Act agreement. The owners’ proposed timeline is as follows:

Page 98 of 522 ends

Report to Mayor and Councilmembers
Date: November 14, 2023
Page: 5 of 6
 Replace all vinyl windows in house and garage with wood frame windows to match originals (by 2033)
 Repair dry rot on eaves and fascia of house and garage (by 2033)  Repair redwood shingle siding on the garage (by 2033)  Repair foundation cracks in garage (by 2033)
 Replace garage roof (by 2033)
Public Notice of Project
Notification of the November 14, 2023, public hearing to consider the historic landmark application and preservation agreement was mailed to all property owners within 300 feet of the subject property on November 2, 2023, and published in the Daily Transcript on November 3, 2023. No comments have been received.

Environmental Review:

The historic landmark nomination request is exempt from environmental review pursuant to categorical exemption Class 1, Existing Facilities and categorical exemption Class 31, Historical Resource Restoration/Rehabilitation, as provided by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Sections 15301 and 15331, respectively.

Section 15301 exempts activities involving negligible or no expansion of use of an existing facility. Section 15331 exempts the preservation and conservation of historical resources when carried out in a manner consistent with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties. The project serves to protect the resource by ensuring that future alterations are subject to the standards described in Section 15331. None of the exceptions in Section 15300.2 apply.

CONCLUSION:

The Historic Preservation Commission recommends that the City Council adopt the draft resolutions provided as Attachments A and B to designate the property known as the Charlotte and John E. King House located at 4987 Colina Drive as a historic landmark and execute a Mills Act Preservation Agreement.

II. PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
Constructed around 1922, the subject property at 4987 Colina Drive was designed in the Craftsman Bungalow Style. The property includes two historic-era buildings: the main dwelling and a garage constructed in the same style, as described in the historic resources inventory (Figure 1). Both buildings are clad in wood shingles with gable and cross-gable roofs, covered in composition shingles, with wide overhanging eaves and exposed rafters.

The Charlotte King house was constructed around 1922 (Figure 2, Figure 3) on Lot 69 of the La Mesa Colony (Figure 5) which was subdivided in 1925 by a partnership that included the original owners (Ms.

Temple, Ms. Judson), and the first residents (Ms. Charlotte King and Mr. John E. King) to rename this part of the hill “Colina Del Sol” (Figure 6). The main dwelling is in the center of the lot with the garage set 50' away to the north-east near Colina Drive. The house is nestled within the center of La Mesa, bearing witness to the city's historical development.

The property contains several unique historic features including a gate on the south border of the property leading to a footpath to Orchard Avenue with easy access to downtown La Mesa, a vision of the original developers of Lot 69 and this hill in La Mesa (Figure 87-89).

Constructed around 1922, the main dwelling is sited near the center of the lot, built in the Craftsman Bungalow style. This style was popular in the early 20th century and is characterized by its practical layout, wide front porches, and handcrafted details, all of which are exemplified by this property.

The original windows are varied, single and double sash and at the front, vertical paned with small vertical panes at the top. Over the front entrance there is a small roof and pediment. The house stands on a large piece of ground with many mixed trees including eucalyptus, pine, pistachio, apple, lemon, and fig trees.

The property retains a good level of architectural integrity of location, setting, workmanship, and feeling, with a fair level of integrity of design and materials from its 1922-1949 period of significance, and exhibits character-defining features of the Craftsman Bungalow style.

East Elevation (Main Façade)
The east elevation is the main façade of the dwelling, facing the landscaping and the neighboring properties at 5001 and 5051 Colina Drive. The front door is accessed by entering through the driveway on Colina Drive and walking behind the garage and by taking the concrete steps up to the property from Orchard Avenue. A paver stone walkway winds from the asphalt of the garage and parking area and ends in a curved design to meet the natural stone patio area near the front door. A wooden bench is present at the edge of the curve across from the front door. A grilling area, dining table, and fountain are also present south of the bench. The entry door is a set of wood French doors flanked by matching sidelights and two sets of multi-light casement windows. These doors, sidelights and casement windows do not appear original to the circa 1922 construction campaign. They may have been installed in the 1990s.

Wide wood moulding frames the front door, sidelights, and casement windows. Craftsman style sconces flank the sidelights within the moulding. The entrance area is covered by a shed roof with a gable peak

behind. The south section of this façade features a Chicago-style window arrangement; a large fixed window in the center with four vertical lights over one large light, flanked by multi-light casement windows.

The north section of this façade features two sets of original large casement windows, each with two sets of casements. The south two sets contain two smaller lights over two larger lights, while the north two sets contain one smaller light over one larger light. This façade may have been altered over the years. The 1982 Department of Parks and Recreation form (Figure 1) describes the front entrance as containing “a small roof and pediment.” The photograph on the form was taken from the north, looking south without a view of the front entrance. Sanborn Maps from 1929 and 1949 (Figure 49, Figure 50) indicate the façade is asymmetrical with the northern portion being larger than the southern portion with a set-back between the two portions. The Residential Building Record site plan (Figure 4) illustrates the façade in its current configuration of straight across with a 7’ x 18’ set-back within. The letters “C”, “E”, “A” and “P” in this area likely mean Concrete or Covered, Enclosed, Area, Porch. It is not clear if the current facade filled in the entrance area with the French doors, sidelights, and casement windows. The Residential Building Record contains a 10’ x 12’ patio on the north corner which is not present today.

North Elevation
The north elevation of the dwelling faces the side yard, which is covered in red brick and enclosed by a vertical wood fence, a pergola, a sauna, the parking area, which is covered in asphalt, the garage, and Colina Drive. This façade features a side gable roof with wide overhanging eaves and decorative beams on each corner. East of the gable peak is a set of wood French doors with a concrete stoop lined in red brick. A decorative wood channel surrounds the electrical panel with horizontal boards from the ground to the gable peak framed with long vertical wood moulding on each side. Near the west corner is a oneover-one vinyl window with framed with wood moulding. Three Craftsman style sconces are present along this portion of the façade. The west 10’-7” of the façade is part of the 2009 addition. A set of vinyl multi-light casement windows, framed in wood moulding, is present in the east corner. Below the windows is a wood cabinet with a marble top. A tall wood cabinet sits next to the set of windows.

West Elevation (Rear Façade)
The west elevation, which is the rear façade of the dwelling, faces the rear yard, which is covered in red brick and gravel, and the neighboring property at 4981 Colina Drive. A small three-light vinyl window is present in the 11’-7” section of the original façade. The 30’ projection from the principal mass is part of the 2009 addition. Originally, a 4’ x 8’ projection from the principal mass was present near the center of the façade. The rear-facing gable addition contains wide overhanging eaves with decorative beams on each corner and in the peak. Three small three-light vinyl windows are present below the gable end. The south 16’ of this façade is part of the historic portion of the dwelling. A 6’ x 8’ concrete covered porch is present in the south corner. One concrete step leads up to the concrete stoop. A narrow square wood column supports the porch roof on the southwest corner of the concrete stoop. According to the Sanborn Maps, this porch was added at an unknown date between 1929 and 1949 (Figure 49, Figure 50). The north corner contains a multi-light wood entrance door covered with a wood framed screen door. A Craftsman style sconce is present to the right of the door. Continuing the concrete step to the south is a composite deck and step. The deck continues around the corner to the south elevation. Near the south corner is a set of four-light wood casement windows. All windows and doors are framed in wide wood moulding.

South Elevation
The south elevation of the dwelling faces the south side yard, a thoughtfully designed terraced landscape; with pathways, trees and bushes; and the neighboring properties below at 8270 and 8276-8288 Orchard Avenue. The west 10’-7” of the façade is part of the 2009 addition. A narrow vertical piece of siding demarcates the original dwelling from the addition. Near the west corner is a set of vinyl multi-light casement windows. A set of wood multi-light casement windows is present near the east corner, within the concrete covered porch. The side-facing gable end contains decorative wood beams on each corner with an exterior red brick chimney within the peak continuing through the eave. A decorative band of brick lines the top of the chimney along with a metal spark arrestor. The base of the chimney is wider than the shaft with stepped bricks on either side transitioning from the wider portion to the narrower portion. The chimney serves an original Batchelder fireplace with original mantel and built in shelving on the interior (Figure 91). Flanking the chimney are three-over-one wood windows. Craftsman style sconces are present between the east and west corners and the windows. All windows are framed with wide wood moulding.

A tree is outlined within the south edge of the composite decking. A wood pergola covers the deck, which continues to the east corner.

Garage
The garage is the only building on the property viewable from Colina Drive. Redwood shingles cover the façades of the front-facing gable building. The roof is clad in composition shingles and contains wide overhanging eaves with exposed rafters. The two-car garage door on the north façade is a horizontal wood pull-up door. A red brick wall on the east property line sits very near the east façade of the garage. The east façade is void of fenestration. Near the east corner of the south façade is a wood paneled door. A vinyl horizontal sliding window is present under the peak of the gable roof. Fenestration are framed with wood moulding. The west façade is void of fenestration and contains a wood and corrugated metal fence enclosing the trash cans. Metal braces connect the fence posts to the west façade.

A large Eucalyptus tree sits near the northwest corner of the garage. This tree was trimmed recently due to high winds breaking the large limbs causing them to fall. The driveway is clad in concrete and asphalt.

The asphalt continues beyond the driveway to the garage and parking area, which has room for three cars. Previous owners operated a pottery store out of the garage. The street facing portion of the property is landscaped with a variety of trees and bushes.

Exterior alterations to the property since 1922 include: construction of the garage in 1931; construction of the back porch at an unknown date between 1929 and 1949 (may have been constructed in 1931 along with the garage, the 1929 Sanborn map does not depict a back porch, the 1949 Sanborn map depicts the back porch); enclosure of the front porch by adding a set of French doors flanked by multi-light sidelights and two sets of multi-light casement windows covered by a shed roof at an unknown date between 1949 and 1982 (the 1949 Sanborn map does not depict a porch on the front façade, the appraiser notes on the Residential Building Record between 1961 and 1974 include the letters “C”, “E”, “A” and “P” in the entry area which likely mean Concrete or Covered, Enclosed, Area, Porch, the 1982 Department of Parks and Recreation forms describe a small roof and pediment over the front entrance, the pediment is most likely the front-facing gable peak roof behind the shed roof); a decorative wood channel was added around the electrical panel and an original wood window was replaced with a oneover-one vinyl window in the original opening and retaining the wood moulding, on the north façade (these alterations may have occurred during the 2009 addition); in 2009 an addition was constructed on the west side of the dwelling replacing the 4’ x 8’ projection from the principal mass near the center of the façade, the original windows on this façade were replaced with vinyl windows within the original opening

retaining the wood moulding; the wood shingle siding appears to have been covered with new wood shingle siding during the 2009 addition, the original wood shingles may be under the new wood shingles or the original wood shingles were replaced in kind to match the wood shingles on the addition; a Trex composite deck was added to the south façade which continues around to the west façade to meet up with the back concrete covered porch and step; a vinyl horizontal sliding window was added on the south façade of the garage and a wood and corrugated metal fence enclosing the trash cans with metal braces connecting the fence posts to the garage wall was added to the west façade of the garage at an unknown date, possibly during the 2009 addition.

III. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE
La Mesa Colony and “Colina Del Sol”
The property was built in Lot 69 of the La Mesa Colony, adjacent to the historic Orchard Track, which was subdivided in 1907 (Figure 5). The La Mesa colony had separate ownership.

In 1922, two ladies, Ms. Annie Temple and Ms. Jane Judson, buy the west half of Lot 69. Previous to 1922, ownership likely changed between speculators and investors (e.g. the name “Webster” comes up in early records). In 1922, ownership changes to Temple and Judson.

That year, 1922, they write an article in The La Mesa Scout (Figure 8) about plans to build a group of small bungalows known as the “Colina Cottages”, which was the first indication of their plans for the land.

The land was completely inaccessible so they start grading the road into their property at this time, which will also be accessible from Orchard via “an easy graded footpath with steps”, a remarkable feature of the property that remains today (Figure 87-89).

Only two bungalows were built, with Ms. Charlotte King and Mr. John E. King becoming the first residents of the first bungalow, the subject dwelling, and Ms. Temple occupying the second bungalow to the west of the current property.

In 1925, Miss Temple and Miss Judson are part of the partnership to create a new subdivision named “Colina del Sol” – the little hill in the sunshine (Figure 6, Figure 7), which was the nickname for that piece of the hill. On the second page of the subdivision map (Figure 6), we see the signatures of Annie Temple, Jane Judson, the Lights (who owned property in the subdivision – see the Light Tract in Figure 9) and Charlotte King, the first resident of the house with her husband, John E. King, with the name King written right onto the subdivision in lot eleven map (Figure 7). The current tax records of the property have two parcels (Lot 11 and Lot 69) reflecting the history of the Colina Del Sol subdivision.

Property History
The periods 1922-1956 and 1978-2002 are the most relevant to the historical significance. 1922-1956
The main dwelling at 4987 Colina Dr. was constructed in 1922. From improvement records (Figure 2), there were no improvements on their property under the improvement column in 1922, but, in 1923, there are improvements on the property indicating the house was built in 1922. The “year built” date of 1922 is confirmed by the county building record (Figure 3).

There is a record of Annie Temple working with a local contractor in town, D.C. Marker (Figure 19) at this time. There is a possibility that Marker built the property, as he did later build the garage in 1931 (Figure 32) probably because he was familiar with the property.

Annie Temple and Jane Judson
Annie Temple was from Kentucky, born in 1865 (Figure 12). The first record of her in La Mesa is 1922 with an address of “Palm and Orchard”. Her business is listed as “rentals” and “landlady” (Figure 13). Ms.

Temple intends to invest and build houses in California, including the “Colina Cottages”, where she is going to live in one and rent the other. In 1926, her address changes to “2 Colina Hill” (Figure 13), the second of the “Colina Cottages”, to the west of the first “Colina Cottage”, the subject dwelling with address: “1 Colina Hill”.
[NOTE: Address history]
Between 1922-1931, the address is “1 Colina Hill”. Following the move to 4 digit addresses in 1931, the property is identified as “4901 Colina Dr” (Figure 38b), and later in the 1980’s “4987 Colina Dr”.

Her address is 2 Colina Hill i.e. the second bungalow or “Colina Cottage”, in 1926 and 1930, indicating she is likely living next to the subject dwelling occupied by the Kings. In 1931, with the introduction of the four digit address system, her address changes to 4903 Colina Dr. (formerly 2 Colina Hill), which is next to the subject dwelling at 4901 Colina Dr. (formerly 1 Colina Hill).

Ms. Temple’s business of “rentals” explains the arrangement with the Kings who “purchased” the property in 1927, possible with a mortgage agreement from Temple, but don’t receive full title until 1937. Ms.

Temple lived in the bungalow to the west and rented 4987 to Charlotte King, eventually transferring full title in 1937.

In 1928, Annie Temple is an active member of the Woman’s Club (Figure 14). In 1931 she writes an editorial denouncing the defacing of local hills by high school kids (Figure 15). She is also part of congregational church in La Mesa in 1931 (Figure 16).

Jane Judson is the co-owner and development partner of the Colina Cottages. She first appears in the San Diego directory in 1922 (Figure 17), and was the professional and financial partner of Ms. Temple.

While we know she is a partner in buying property with Annie, the full nature of the relationship is unclear.

She’s noted as working with the Marston's Department Store Company in the 1922 directory with an

Page 126 of 522 ends

Historic Landmark Nomination: Charlotte and John E. King House 4987 Colina Drive, La Mesa, CA 91942
September 2023 |Page 13
address in La Mesa (Figure 17). Jane was also an investor and speculator with various real estate deals in La Mesa (Figure 18).

The partnership of Ms. Temple and Ms. Judson represents a very interesting history of enterprising women in the early history of La Mesa, specifically of the Colina Del Sol subdivision.

Charlotte and John E. King
Ms. Charlotte King and Mr. John E King are the first residents of the property, as indicated from records in 1924 with a residence at 1 Colina Hill (Figure 38) and the name “King” on Lot 11 of the Colina Del Sol subdivision (Figure 7). Given the record of Ms. Temple and Judson’s plans to rent the bungalows, the Kings were likely renting from 1922-1927. Between 1927 and 1937, Charlotte King lives in the house under an agreement with Miss Temple to purchase the property, possibly with mortgage from Ms. Temple. In 1933, Ms. King declares a homestead on the property and in 1937, receives full title from Ms. Temple. During the period 1923-1931, Ms Temple likely lived in the second “Colina Cottage” bungalow to the west of this property. In 1931, Charlotte King hires D.C. Marker to build the garage.

Ms. Charlotte King is the longest resident of the house, with records confirming residence from 1922-1956 (Figure 38). While originally occupying the home with her husband, Mr. John E. King, she continued to live in the home following his death in 1924 until her death in 1956.

John King was born in Ireland in 1862, immigrated to Brooklyn, NY and served in the military, including during World War One, released to inactive duty in 1919 (Figure 23). After discharge, he lived in Montclair New Jersey with his wife Charlotte Kings, near Charlotte’s family. Bookkeeping was his specialty.

As early residents, they were leaders in the community, and Mr. King was an early vocal ambassador of La Mesa, exemplified in all aspects of his life as detailed below. He was also very enterprising and involved many businesses and social scenes: (insurance, Coolidge Club, realty boards, early member of La Mesa Country Club, Chamber of Commerce, and many activities promoting the growth of La Mesa).

John E. King was 17 years older than Charlotte. The couple arrived via cruise in LA in 1922. The earliest record in San Diego County is January 1922, saying that that Mr. and Mrs. J E King are in San Diego for winter travel. First local record is lunch at the Grossmont Inn. He liked to golf and joined brand new La Mesa Country Club (Figure 20). At this time, he starts to come out of retirement and starts becoming very active in business life in La Mesa, becomes very active socially, and becomes a staunch ambassador of life in La Mesa.

Mrs. king and her mother, Mrs. Culmer, who also moved to La Mesa, are very active in the social scene. As a typical example, they accompany Mr. Light, who's also partnering create the new “Colina Del Sol” subdivision on a motor trip to La Jolla (Figure 22). The Kings are good friends with the Lights, also early residents of “Colina Del Sol”. They also stay in close contact with friends and family in New Jersey, entertaining and receiving visitors from Montclair and return to visit family but always return home to La Mesa, indicating they have a permanent residence in one of the bungalows. Charlotte’s mother is living in La Mesa at this time (Figure 21).

Charlotte is a member of Woman’s club her entire life in La Mesa. The regular meeting of the book section of the La Mesa Woman’s club took place in the King house (Figure 25). And she is chairman of hostess committee in 1924 (Figure 26).

In May 1923, John King enters the insurance business. (Figure 28, Figure 29), with an article noting in May of 1923 that he's entered into the insurance business and he's on the side door next to the theater, the current location of Por Favor restaurant. That site originally was what was called the Opera House, which was a theater. His office was in the building next door, right in the center of downtown. At this time, he's also involved in fire insurance, house insurance, and he's selling real estate: his retired life appears to be over at this point. He also starts doing investment bonds, real estate bonds, many different activities, such as real estate gold bonds.

Early 1923, King gets into real estate, and in July 1923, with the La Mesa Scout reporting “J.E. King now has “a corner on real estate” (Figure 28), a reference to his office location at the corner of Lookout and Palm Ave. He is advocating for and selling La Mesa. One example of Mr. King’s advocacy of La Mesa is of C.W. Anderson (Figure 24), who moved from Montclair, NJ (former hometown of Mr. King), and purchased a lot on Rose Cliffs from J.E. King, noting that he became interested by J. E. King, “a warm booster for our city and a former resident of Montclair”.

In one real estate advertisement in 1923 in the Evening Tribune, Mr. King describes La Mesa as an “Ideal Residence Suburb… mild climate, sunshine, flowers, restful, peaceful, grand views” and a “King Service… offered to those who are interested in real estate of any kind or in rentals” (Figure 27).

He is becoming a main player in the business community with a lot of activity at this time late 1922-1924, while living at the Colina Cottage on 1 Colina Hill, the subject dwelling, later 4987 Colina Dr. He joins the Chamber of Commerce, and he's part of an appointed committee to coordinate activities for the Chamber of Commerce (Figure 33), e.g., exhibiting at the county fair. He’s bought out an insurance company (Figure 29), and is selling real estate gold bonds (Figure 30). All of this activity is from late 1922 into summer 1923, during which he was exceptionally active in all aspects of life in La Mesa. He leads the realty board formation in the area (Figure 34) and he's listed in the countywide realty board (Figure 35). He is part of the Coolidge Club (Figure 36). In early 1924, he's supporting the bond for the new La Mesa and Spring Valley Irrigation District (Figure 37)for the irrigation district, an important infrastructure development, and meets with many groups to discuss the importance of this initiative.

In 1924, a woman working at the office next door to him gets a phone call from downtown San Diego that her father had died after being hit by a trolley car. John offers to drive her downtown, gets his car, pulls it up in front of the office, has a massive heart attack and dies on the spot. Several articles go into great detail about the irony of the circumstances, e.g. “death follows death”.

In his obituary, it notes that “Mr. King engaged in the real estate business here, and from his advent into business was very highly public-spirited, took a sincere interest in the advancement of the community and was an ardent and enthusiastic La Mesan” (Figure 31).

Charlotte King lives until her death in 1956 (Figure 38), and continues to be very active in the Woman’s club and social life.

In 1931, the address changes to 4 digits address – first 4901, and later 4987.

Given they both contributed to the early growth of the La Mesa, with Charlotte living in the house for over 30 years, it would be appropriate to name this house the “Charlotte and John E. King House” given their ardent support of the city.
1958-1962
Henry Burrell (Figure 39): Lived at the address for 4 years and later built a house down the street (5000 Colina Dr.). He owned a silk screen company (Figure 39). He had a daughter named Michael who was in the Women’s Air Corps in the 1960’s (Figure 39c).
1962-1963: Lloyd Fulton Vandusen shows up in directories with ownership from 1962-1963 (Figure 40) 1964-1969: Richard Gordon, who might be part of an older family. Not much background information except that his brother was killed in the war (Figure 41). 1970-72: Records show ownership by Edward N Patton from 1972-1973 (Figure 42) 1978-2002: Raymond and Florence Uyeda
Raymond Uyeda
The historical inventory lists the “Uyeda House” as the common name with “Charlotte King House” as the historic name.

Mr. Raymond Uyeda owned the property from 1978-2002 with his wide Florence (Figure 43). Raymond was a Japanese American, and Florence (b. Fusaa Kida) was from the Kida family that pre-dates WW2.

Florence went to Grossmont High and the Kidas were one of approximately 20 families with students attending Grossmont High that were interned. Raymond and Florence were married in 1954.

Raymond worked for the County of San Diego as a microbiologist for the Public Health Department that performed water testing for the county (Figure 45). Raymond shows up as the owner in 1984, and appears to have lived in the subject dwelling from 1978-2002. Florence died in 2010 (Figure 44).

During this period, the address changes to 4987 Colina Dr., with a record of the new address in 1995 (Figure 46).

An ad in the San Diego Union-Tribune in 2002 (Figure 47) describes the subject dwelling as “Historic Home w/ view and private steps to village”

Craftsman Bungalow Residential Architecture
Craftsman Bungalow residential architecture gained popularity in the United States as a suburban style from 1905 to the early 1920s. The Craftsman architectural style in Southern California was popularized by the work of Charles and Henry Greene, architects who practiced in Pasadena from 1893 to 1914. The Greenes had been influenced by the Arts & Crafts movement in England, a movement that placed emphasis on the use of natural materials and fine hand craftsmanship to produce not just architecture, but furniture, fabrics, and decorative arts as well. With the rise in popularity of high style Craftsman homes such as those designed by the Greene brothers, demand for more modest versions grew, and regional architects and builders stepped in with their own versions of the Craftsman style. Eventually pattern books brought the Craftsman style to the working class and allowed a small and easy to construct version, a Craftsman Bungalow, to be delivered to a building site for construction by local builders and homeowners.

Character defining features of the Craftsman architectural style include, but are not limited to: one, one and one-half, or two story massing; a low to medium pitch gable or hipped roof, with dormers present on one and one-half story varieties; wide eave overhangs, with exposed rafters and projecting rafter tails; triangular knee braces in the gable ends; exterior finish of shingle, horizontal wood, brick, or stucco, sometimes in combination; a front porch, full or partial width, supported by columns or posts; wood windows, generally double-hung or casement, with awning or hopper windows used less frequently, and Chicago-style arrangements of a fixed window flanked by double hung windows frequently seen on the front façade.

The property retains a good level of architectural integrity from its 1922-1949 period of significance, and exhibits character defining features of the Craftsman Bungalow style, including: one story massing; a medium-pitched gable roof; wide eave overhangs, with exposed rafters; exterior finish of wood shingle siding; a wide brick chimney base which steps up narrower as it protrudes through the roofline, with threeover-one wood windows on each side; double-hung, fixed, and casement wood windows, and a Chicagostyle arrangement of a large fixed window, of four-over-one, flanked by multi-light casement windows on the front façade. The dwelling retains a good level of architectural integrity of location, setting, workmanship, and feeling, with a fair level of integrity of design and materials, and qualifies for historical designation under Criterion C, for the Craftsman Bungalow style.

Significance Conclusion
The 4987 Colina Drive property represents Craftsman Bungalow architecture, consistent with the characterdefining features of the style, as detailed in the paragraph above. It is eligible for designation by the City of La Mesa under Historic Preservation Commission Criterion A as a special element of Colina Del Sol’s architectural and landscaping development; the house is one of two properties developed by Annie Temple and Jane Judson under their “Colina Cottages” plan and features a path linking the two properties accessible from Orchard Avenue via the “easy graded footpath with steps” they had constructed along with grading Colina Drive; and under Criterion C for its embodiment of the distinctive characteristics of the Craftsman Bungalow style of architecture. The period of significance under Criterion A is 1922, when the dwelling was designed and constructed, Colina Drive was graded, and the concrete stairs were built from Orchard Avenue to the south side of the property. The period of significance under Criterion C is 1922- 1949, when the dwelling was designed and constructed, the garage was designed and constructed, and the back porch was added. In its current configuration and appearance, the 4987 Colina Drive property

Page 130 of 522 ends

Historic Landmark Nomination: Charlotte and John E. King House 4987 Colina Drive, La Mesa, CA 91942
September 2023 |Page 17
retains a moderate level of integrity including Location: it has remained in its original place since its original construction of the dwelling in 1922, its original construction of the garage in 1931, and the original construction of the back porch at an unknown date between 1929 and 1949; Design: its original form, plan, space, structure, and style is intact on the original east portion of the dwelling, although the front entryway was enclosed with multi-light casement windows and French doors, modifications to the dwelling’s plan and layout occurred in 2009 when an addition was constructed on the west portion of the dwelling, the character-defining features remain on the original dwelling and were included on the addition; Setting: the residential development patterns, house massing, and aesthetic of the surrounding Colina Del Sol subdivision remain in place; Materials: existing historic wood framed windows and door patterns, wide brick chimney, exposed rafters and decorative wood beams, and wood siding on the garage are consistent with the original materials, while newer wood doors and windows were added to the front façade and an addition was constructed in 2009 replacing some original windows with vinyl windows as well as either replacing the original wood shingle siding in-kind with new wood shingles or new wood shingles were added on top of the original wood shingles; Workmanship: quality workmanship is evident in the original construction, design, fabrication and finishing details, the porch enclosure and 2009 addition also reflect quality workmanship; Feeling: the property’s appearance and location on Colina Drive conveys and evokes a feeling of Craftsman Bungalow architecture and the residential development of the Colina Del Sol subdivision; Association: does not apply to this property.

REPORT to the MAYOR and MEMBERS of the CITY COUNCIL
From the CITY MANAGER
DATE: November 14, 2023
SUBJECT: PROJECT 2023-2284 (BOLDUC/YEH)

CONSIDERATION OF A REQUEST TO DESIGNATE
THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 8406 HILLCREST
AVENUE, APN 494-434-01-00 AND 494-282-16-00 AS

A HISTORIC LANDMARK AND ESTABLISH A

PROPERTY PRESERVATION (MILLS ACT)

AGREEMENT FOR THE SITE
ISSUING DEPARTMENT: Community Development
SUMMARY:

Issue:

Does the property at 8406 Hillcrest Avenue qualify for designation as a historic landmark, and should the City enter into a property preservation (Mills Act) agreement with the owner?
Recommendation:

The Historic Preservation Commission recommends that the City Council adopt resolutions to 1) designate the property known as the Chester L. and Anne Harritt/William Henry Wheeler/A.E. Dennstedt House located at 8406 Hillcrest Avenue as a historic landmark (Attachment A) and 2) enter into a Mills Act Property Preservation Agreement with the property owners (Attachment B).

Fiscal Impact:

The amount of property tax to the City would be reduced by approximately $550 annually. In exchange for discounted property taxes, the City receives guaranteed property maintenance and improvements to ensure the ongoing preservation, rehabilitation, and restoration as stipulated in a property preservation agreement. Well maintained historic landmarks can increase property values in the neighborhood.

Page 238 of 522 ends

This project is categorically exempt from environmental review pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15301 and 15331.

BACKGROUND:

Page 239 of 522 ends

The owners of 8406 Hillcrest Avenue have nominated their property to the local historic landmark registry. On October 3, 2023, the HPC conducted a public hearing and voted 4-0 to adopt resolutions (Attachments C and D) recommending that the City Council approve historical landmark designation and enter into a Mills Act Preservation Agreement with the owners.

DISCUSSION:

Situated prominently above the intersection of Hillcrest Avenue and Lemon Avenue, the property is known as the Chester Harritt Home in the Historic Resources Inventory (Attachment E). A vicinity map is shown below, and the Assessor Parcel map is provided as Attachment F.

As described in the nomination report
(Attachment E), Chester L. Harritt, the first
owner of the home, was a hydraulic
engineer who fought for and oversaw the
replacement of the leaking San Diego flume
with a carefully engineered piping system.

He also secured critical water agreements
and funding to ensure the long-term
security of La Mesa’s water supply. For
these accomplishments, the Chet Harritt
Dam at Lake Jennings bears his name. The
second owner, Commander Theodore S.

Coulbourn, US Navy Ret., served as the
City’s Recreation Commissioner and
campaign chairman for the City’s first Youth
Center, now the Community Center, in
MacArthur Park.

The three-story Spanish Eclectic residence was designed by Master Architect William Henry Wheeler and constructed by Master Builder A.E. Dennstedt. Wheeler’s work includes the Balboa Theatre and the Ernestine Schumann-Heink residence on Grossmont. The property at 8406 Hillcrest Avenue is the designer’s only known residential project in La Mesa. The Dennstedts were prolific builders of custom and tract housing across San Diego, including 11 other properties on the City of San Diego’s Historical Register. For being the representative work of an acclaimed architect and builder, the HPC concluded the resource qualifies for landmark designation under Criterion D.

The residence is in excellent
condition. Significant architectural
features include a Spanish tile
roof, lightly textured stucco on the
exterior walls, heavy straight-cut
rafter beams with clipped corners,
and an arched portal with an
ornate “wrought iron” (steel) gate.

Also extant are the original
windows and shutters, fired hollow
clay pipe attic vents, original entry
light fixtures, tile inlays, and other
hardware. The only known exterior
alterations are to the basement,
which was converted from a
garage/carport in 1947. Other
contributing elements on the property include a detached garage, outdoor barbecue, perimeter site walls, original interior terrace walls, and backyard granite stairs. The HPC concluded that the resource is eligible for landmark designation under Criterion C for embodying distinctive characteristics of a style, type, and period and under Criterion F for embodying elements of outstanding attention to architectural design, detail, materials and craftsmanship.

With the landmark designation, the proposed historic name of the resource would be the Chester L. and Anne Harritt/William Henry Wheeler/A.E. Dennstedt House to acknowledge the original owners and the design/ build partnership of two well-known masters of their time.

Mills Act Agreement
While the site and improvements are in excellent condition, the owners have identified a number of planned rehabilitation projects. Those improvements would be funded with

the Mills Act tax savings and are therefore proposed for inclusion in the Mills Act agreement. The owners’ proposed timeline is as follows:
 Replace roof using the original clay tiles (by 2025)
 Install a main electrical panel to replace the current four-circuit subpanel (by 2025)
 Rewire the whole home from knob and tube electrical (by 2025)  Restore or replace in-kind all 32 of the home’s double-hung windows and one large picture window with the same exterior color, within the same window openings, and using the same window types, materials, and design, including dimensions and profiles (by 2025)
 Insulate attic (by 2025)
 Stabilize outdoor barbecue and refurbish internal parts of outdoor barbecue and sink (by 2025)
 Repair or replace wood door sills in-kind (by 2027)
 Install whole house fan and air conditioning (by 2027)  Replace basement awning on the west elevation in-kind (by 2028)  Restore or replace the wrought iron fence in the west elevation in-kind (by 2028)  Re-stucco, re-plaster and paint the home’s exterior to match existing texture and finish (by 2029)
Public Notice of Project
Notification of the November 14, 2023, public hearing to consider the historic landmark application and preservation agreement was mailed to all property owners within 300 feet of the subject property on November 2, 2023, and published in the Daily Transcript on November 3, 2023. No comments have been received.

resource by ensuring that future alterations are subject to the standards described in Section 15331. None of the exceptions in Section 15300.2 apply.

CONCLUSION:

The Historic Preservation Commission recommends that the City Council adopt the draft resolutions provided as Attachments A and B to designate the property known as the Chester L. and Anne Harritt/William Henry Wheeler/A.E. Dennstedt House located at 8406 Hillcrest Avenue as a historic landmark and execute a Mills Act Preservation Agreement.

8 II. PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
The residence known as the Chester L. and Anne Harritt/William Henry Wheeler/A.E. Dennstedt House stands as a distinguished exemplar of Spanish Eclectic architecture, emblematic of the period spanning 1915 to 1940. Constructed in 1935, this property is located on the USGS La Mesa Quadrangle, at 8406 Hillcrest Avenue, La Mesa, CA, 91941 (APN 494-434-01) at the intersection of Hillcrest Avenue and Lemon Avenue. The dwelling is a three-story Spanish Eclectic, approximately 2,455 square feet in area. A detached garage is located on a separate parcel (APN 494-282-16) and is also part of the request for historic designation or the total square footage.

The two parcels combined comprise an area of approximately 13,202 square feet and are prominently featured on a hill with views of Old Town La Mesa, Mount Nebo, Cowles Mountain, and beyond to La Jolla’s Mount Soledad. The three-bedroom, two-bath home boasts Spanish Eclectic architecture with a clay tile roof and stucco walls throughout the exterior; wood, tile inlays, and natural stone add to the stunning architecture of the dwelling. The wood door entrance with a tile inlay landing leads to a large living room and fireplace with panoramic views. The front yard is adorned with mature natural landscape with accent stone walkways and stairs. The property is in excellent condition.

The original Spanish-fired red clay “Angulo” two-piece Mission-style roof tile and the white Mission finish stucco both are consistent with the original materials. Fired hollow clay pipe attic vents are located throughout the exterior. There are 4” thick, straight-cut rafter beams with clipped corners, 26” in the center under the exposed roof eaves.

The stucco has a relatively smooth, undulating texture with coarse river sand in the valleys typical of the period. The single and double sash windows are another architecturally defining element to this house. These types of windows are found in North Africa, Spain, and Mexico and are a common feature of the Spanish Eclectic home in San Diego.

The public views of this corner house involve the west, south, and east elevations. The primary public view of the Harritt House at 8406 Hillcrest Avenue is from the intersection of Lemon Avenue and Hillcrest Avenue, looking due east toward the home’s west elevation. This view centers on its three stories with tile roof, original shutters, large living room picture window, balcony, and large awning-covered patio. This public view clearly shows the roof ridgeline, Mission half-barrel tiles, exposed rafter tails, smooth stucco walls, double-hung windows, and wood faux shutters. Each of these features are architecturally defining element of the house.

There is a slope in the sidewalk along the frontage of this west elevation street-level floor like a driveway slope. The enclosed basement was at one time a garage or carport; however, there are no photos of this. This is the only exterior modification made to the house, with records showing this original lower-level space was enclosed as a “rumpus room,” as stated in the 1947 permit from the second homeowner.

9 The daughter of the previous owners who lived in the house from 1972 to 2022 confirmed the basement was enclosed when they moved in.

Significant architectural features of the home include the conical shape of the Spanish tile roof, a curved stucco cornice, and fired hollow clay tile attic vents. Leading to the front steps of the arched portal is an ornate “wrought iron” (steel) gate that is a defining element of the dwelling.

The mail slot lid and street address plaque are both 1920s -1930s period and original to the house. The porch lamps flanking the tower entrance are original fixtures visible in the 1935 newspaper photo. They are charming in design and contribute to the architectural significance of the home.

Other standout elements include the outdoor barbecue, perimeter site walls, original interior terrace walls, and backyard granite stairs.

South Elevation
The front door of the home is located on its south elevation, while the stairs to the front door begin on the east elevation. The south elevation is only partially visible from the street due to large pine trees and dense vegetation blocking the view from the street. The previous owner who purchased the home in 1972 installed a matching stucco retaining wall around the front yard that changed the original cement pathway to the front door from the south to tiled steps from the east side of the home. Other original details include the wood front door, mailbox, and doorbell.

East Elevation
The east elevation of the home is mostly obscured by a row of Bottle Brush bushes in front of a long 6’ stucco wall. The wall features three blue-arched wooden gates that connect to the detached garage. The detached garage is located on a separate parcel also owned by the homeowners.

North Elevation
The north elevation is mostly obscured from public view. In this location, the first of three separate patios is located off the kitchen with a built-in barbecue and sink. The second and third patios are large, entertainment-size courtyards with mature palm, fir, and pine trees as well as mature landscape shrubbery. The second patio has stairs leading to the home’s family room and the third is off the master bedroom. Granite and wood comprise the patio stairways.

West Elevation (Main Façade)
The west elevation features the most prominent and public side of the home and features a balcony, a lower-level patio with a wrought iron/steel fence and gate, lattice fencing enclosing a native plant garden with robust bougainvillea and a matching stucco retaining wall. All three

10 stories of the home are visible from Hillcrest Avenue, and the cobalt blue shutters create a striking contrast to the white stucco exterior.

III. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE
The City of La Mesa Historical Landmark Nomination Form “Areas of Significance” for the Chester L. and Anne Harritt/William Henry Wheeler/A.E. Dennstedt House Include Architecture, Agriculture, Community Planning, and Engineering. The home’s architecture is significant due to being designed by Master Architect William Henry Wheeler in the Spanish Eclectic style and built by Master Builder Aaron Edward (A.E.) Dennstedt in 1935.

The original homeowners make up a combination of the Areas of Significance for Agriculture, Community Planning, and Engineering due to the water agreement that Chester L. Harritt negotiated as manager of the La Mesa, Lemon Grove, and Spring Valley Irrigation District (now known as Helix Water District). This agreement ensured water delivery to the City of La Mesa and exists in place today. Harritt was the hydraulic engineer who oversaw the building of infrastructure to carry this water to the city. The Chet Harritt Dam was named in his honor.

The second homeowner also fulfills the Area of Significance for Community Planning due to the role of Retired Commander Theodore S. Coulbourn, US Navy, as the chairman of the campaign to build the first youth center in La Mesa, at the now MacArthur Park.

Area of Significance 1: Architecture
A. Designed by Master Architect William Henry Wheeler
The Chester L. and Anne Harritt/William Henry Wheeler/A.E. Dennstedt House was designed by prominent Master Architect William Henry Wheeler (1874 - 1956). Wheeler would have been 62 years old when the house was completed in 1935. It was built by Master Builder A.E.

Dennstedt. This partnership by two well-known masters of their time underscores the rarity and significance of the Hillcrest Avenue residence. Notably, Wheeler was an employee of A.E.

Dennstedt and his brother A.I. Dennstedt designing many prominent homes and commercial buildings.

While the Hillcrest Avenue home is the only known La Mesa residence built by the master architect, Wheeler was not new to this neighborhood. In 1930, just two blocks away Wheeler designed the Erickson Mortuary in a similar Spanish Colonial Revival style, and it still stands today.

11 Wheeler's imprint on the
architectural fabric throughout
San Diego County is marked
by a series of notable
commissions. They
encompass landmarks such
as the Balboa Theater in San
Diego’s Gaslamp District
named in honor of Vasco
Nuñez de Balboa, the first
European to discover the
Pacific Ocean in 1513.1 The
interior of the theatre reflects
a 1920s theatre eclecticism
that blends Wheeler’s Spanish
and Moorish Revival style with Mediterranean Classicism. Wheeler was a known opera singer and performer himself, and the design also reveals the performer/architect's touches in ways that appreciative modern musicians and performers have noted were designed by someone who had to have been a performer himself. For example, the orchestra pit is larger than most legitimate theatres of this capacity and can accommodate 30 to 40 pieces with excellent access. There are 14 dressing rooms in the basement. The unamplified sound delivery is unusually efficient and excellent for both music and theatre.2 The Balboa Theater is one of the last remaining theatres from the 1920s still in existence in San Diego.

Wheeler’s other well-known designs include Temple Beth Israel, All Saints Episcopal Church, Thomas Sefton residence on Henry Street in San Diego, and Madame McAlester and Ernestine Schumann-Heink residences, among others. Wheeler credits his frequent travel through Mexico as having a large impact on his design aesthetic.3 Originating from Australia in 1874, Wheeler's early affinity for architecture culminated in an apprenticeship undertaken in Melbourne at a young age. Following a period of skill cultivation, he embarked on a trajectory that traversed Vancouver, Canada, eventually steering him towards the diverse landscape of San Francisco, which he perceived as fertile ground for his professional aspirations. Subsequently, he pursued advanced engineering studies at the University of California, Berkeley. These formative experiences led him to establish his roots in 1 The Balboa Theater: A Preservation Project Completed, San Diego History Center. https://sandiegohistory.org/journal/v54- 2/pdf/v54-2engstrand.pdf

12 San Diego in 1912, catalyzed by a significant personal juncture, the loss of his first wife Mabel F. Severance.4
The distinction of Wheeler's designation as a Master Architect is substantiated through meticulous historical research, exemplified by the architectural finesse exhibited at 2174 Guy Street in San Diego (1926), and noted by the Historical Resource Board (HRB) #766 as the Percy Benbough/William Wheeler House. This residence signifies the embodiment of Wheeler’s mastery and is a testament to his versatility of styles from the elegance of Spanish Colonial to the grandeur of Italian Renaissance, and the Colonial Revival, among others. This nuanced approach is reflective of Wheeler's multifaceted sensibilities, extending beyond architecture to encompass diverse interests such as opera performances, theatrical pursuits, and affiliations with esteemed organizations including Freemasonry, Shriners, and the American Legion.

Of particular significance is Wheeler's instrumental role in advocating for architectural licensure, evident through his leadership roles within professional associations such as founding the San Diego chapter of the American Institute of Architects and being appointed by the Governor of California as President of the State Board of Architecture where he would hold the title for eight years.5
Wheeler's enduring legacy resonates through his accomplished progeny: Richard G. Wheeler (1917-1990),6 who formed the prominent architectural firm RWG & Associates in 1947,7 and Henry L. Wheeler, a respected figure within the general contracting industry in San Diego.

Wheeler's architectural legacy continues to permeate the architectural discourse of the region, leaving a lasting imprint upon San Diego's built environment and heritage.

The historic contributions of Wheeler are staggering. Among those are the following in order of the year built:

14 Builder in 2007 with the designation of HRB Site #818, the Hazel Weir/Dennstedt Company House in La Jolla.8 The Dennstedt Company has built eleven other properties designated on the City of San Diego’s Historical Register including HRB #892, the Jean P. Hampton/A.L. & A.E. Dennstedt Building Company Spec House #1 located at 7015 Vista del Mar Avenue; HRB #1006, the Lt. Earl and Mildred De Long/William H. Wheeler/A.L. and A.E. Dennstedt House located 4990 Westminster Terrace; and HRB #1124, Jean P. Hampton/A.L. & A.E. Dennstedt Building Company Spec House #1 located at 4600 Kensington Drive.

The Dennstedt brothers came to San Diego from Minnesota in 1924 and soon began their careers as builders. They became well known as a design-build company producing high quality custom homes with financing options. By the mid-1930s, the Dennstedt Company split, and the resulting companies continued in custom home construction. The Dennstedt Company produced houses in the Spanish Eclectic, Mexican Hacienda, Tudor, English Monterrey, and Ranch styles in San Diego communities including North Park, Burlingame, Talmadge, Kensington, La Jolla, and Point Loma, as well as in Escondido and La Mesa. With several iterations of the firm name, the firm continued until 1988. The subject property is a significant example of the Dennstedt Company’s work as it retains a high level of integrity to its original 1935 design. While most of the Dennstedt Company’s Spanish Eclectic properties on the City’s register are grand in massing, this property exemplifies their broad range of work and highlights their attention to craftsmanship and detail.

The Chester L. and Anne Harritt/William Henry Wheeler/A.E. Dennstedt was built in 1935 in the Spanish Eclectic architectural style best known from 1915 - 1940. Spanish eclectic architecture dominates large regions of California, Arizona, and Florida. The orange and red terra-cotta roofing defines the local architecture reflecting the abundant sunshine in these regions. Stucco is the next most important element in this style. Historically it covered adobe brick walls, but later was adapted to wood-frame construction and has proven to be forgiving and flexible.

Spanish eclectic style developed in the early 20th century and falls under the umbrella of Mediterranean architecture. Spanish, African, Latin American, and Native American influences 8 Biographies of Established Masters. (2011). https://www.sandiego.gov/sites/default/files/201109biographies.pdf

15 combined to provide a diverse and rich palette on which the style is built. The preceding Spanish colonial and mission styles confirm the eclectic’s base identity, which can also be referred to as Spanish colonial revival. Spanish colonial architecture is simpler, with less detail, and mission style reflects the characteristics of California’s Spanish missions established in the 18th century.9
The 1915 Panama-California Exposition in San Diego prompted tremendous national interest in the richness of Spanish architecture. The rapidly growing population in California easily adopted the architecture and incorporated the aesthetics into many different building types.

Character-defining features include terra cotta roofs, use of balconies, smooth stucco exterior walls (usually painted white), arched openings, thick wall dimensions, colorful tile work, ornamental vents and grille work at windows and doors, ornamental elaborations at windows and doors in the form of relief surrounds including the ornate Spanish Baroque Churrigueresque detailing. In the 1920s and 1930s architectural publications were readily disseminated worldwide including the American magazine Architecture that, in 1926, began a regular series of portfolios featuring traditional Spanish architectural details designed by U.S. architects. “These included Spanish Revival staples such as Iron Railings, Balconies, Garden, Pools, Patios, Window Grilles, and Outside Stairways.”10 According to architect and author Arrol Gellner:

The charismatic architecture of Spain, with its photogenic contrasts of light and shade and its sharply drawn wrought-iron ornament, remained a favorite subject of the trade magazines well into the thirties; as late as 1934, Architecture was still featuring measured drawings of Spanish-style details such as spindled window grilles in Santiago, Cuba.11
With notable civic and academic examples of the eclectic subtypes within the larger idiom of Spanish Revival architecture, San Diego’s architects and builders transformed the region’s residential landscape with innumerable examples of the eclectic Spanish Revival style. Two notable design-build companies that offered both modest and grand examples of residential and commercial buildings in the Spanish Revival / Spanish Eclectic style are the Dennstedt Building Company and the Olmstead Building Company, both recognized as Master Builders by the City of San Diego. The Master Architect most closely tied to the style locally is Richard Requa.

Basic stylistic features of the Spanish Eclectic/Spanish Revival style include:

16 ● Arched windows and doorways
● Stucco or tile decorative vents
● Terra cotta roofing tiles
● Stucco siding
Most of these character-defining features should additionally be present to support an individual statement of significance:
● Towers or other vertical elements round or square in plan and massing ● Arcaded/arched wing walls
● Elaborate chimney tops
● Balconies or patios enclosed with wood or wrought iron railing Decorative tile work at the exterior and interior
● Decorative ironwork in the form of sconces, grill covers, door knockers ● Decorative chimney tops
● Sculptural (Churrigueresque) articulations at roof parapets or façade walls12 The Spanish fired red clay Mission style tiles found on the roof of 8406 Hillcrest Ave. are marked “Angulo.” The Angulo Roof Tile Works factory began in Santa Barbara and operated from 1919 to 1925. Reducindo and Virginia (Haros) Angulo first began making tiles in Santa Barbara in 1890, but that business was not successful. They started a second venture in 1919, which was the Angulo Roof Tile Works. Angulo inherited the family business from his parents, R.F. and Virginia Angulo. The Angulo Tile Factory fired the tiles higher than the Mexican kilns, creating a hard and dense ceramic that some people refer to as “quarry tile.” The Tile Heritage Foundation has further information on Angulo Roof Tile Works. Their address was 228 East De La Guerra Street in Santa Barbara, California.

William H. Angulo graduated from high school and then worked at the Angulo Roof Tile Works, which supported fifty employees at their two plants in Santa Barbara and Reseda, California.

They roofed the California Hotel, Packard Garage, St. Vincent’s Orphanage, County National Bank, and the Central, Parks, San Marcos, and Daily News buildings in Santa Barbara County.13 Based on the above information, the Angulo Roof tiles on the roof of 8406 Hillcrest Ave. are original materials. They are high-fired, high-quality tiles, and distinctive from the softer low-fired tiles found on many other local houses in the San Diego region. 12 Wendy Tinsley-Becker and Ginger Weatherford, Urbana Preservation & Planning, LLC, Historical Resource.

17 Area of Significance 2: Agriculture, Community Planning, and Engineering
A. Chester L. Harritt
Chester “Chet” L. Harritt (1877 - 1948) and his wife Anne W. Harritt (1883 -1957) exemplify special elements of the La Mesa community. They moved to La Mesa in 1927 and purchased the Hillcrest Avenue land from S. C. Grable, who 20 years earlier had obtained 200 acres from a few fruit growers and divided it into 1,000 town lots.14 The Harritt’s lived at the Eucalyptus Reservoir until 1936 when they moved into the home designed by Wheeler and built by Dennstedt. Harritt is a person of significance to La Mesa and the surrounding communities in the areas of agriculture, community planning, and engineering due to an important water deal he struck with the City of San Diego while an engineer at the La Mesa, Lemon Grove, and Spring Valley Irrigation District, now known as the Helix Water District. The result of this water deal ensured The City of La Mesa would have sufficient storage capacity for water needed in dry years as well as significantly reducing the debt the city had accrued. This allowed the Irrigation District to lower rates and spur growth through land sales.

Harritt first became the Superintendent of the Cuyamaca Water Company (CWC) and a hydraulic engineer15 under the famous La Mesan Ed Fletcher (1872-1955),16 the real estate developer and California State Senator who built the Lake Murray Dam, and who Fletcher Hills and Fletcher Parkway are named after.17
The CWC was established in 1910 and
operated until 1926.18 The origins of the
CWC can be found in the San Diego Flume
Company.19
The San Diego Flume Company was
purchased on June 1, 1910, for $125,000
