While it appears that De Meglio had experience working in the architecture field, research did identify additional information on his career, any memberships in professional architecture organizations, or additional architectural projects associated with Di Meglio. The contractor is listed as the home’s owner, Patrick Ryan. While research did not identify substantive biographical or professional information on Ryan, he was also the original owner of Map IDs 7-11. These properties also have the same original permit number associated with them, indicating Ryan likely developed the entire block.

5.6.3 Statement of Significance
The following section provides an evaluation of the single-family residence at 5954 Amaya Drive under NRHP, CRHR, and City of La Mesa significance criteria and integrity considerations.

NRHP/CRHR Evaluation
Criterion A/1: [Properties] that are associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of our history.

The single-family Ranch style residence at 5954 Amaya Drive was constructed in 1968. Following World War II's conclusion in 1945, La Mesa's population increased dramatically and the "municipality was soon regarded as one of the fastest growing suburban cities in the San Diego region" (City of La Mesa 2012: HP-3). The subject property was thus part of La Mesa’s growth post-World War II to accommodate the needs of an influx of new residents.

While the post-World War II growth was an important trend regionally and in California, this property did not play a significant role in this trend. It was one of many constructed during this period of growth and did not influence this trend. It is also not known to be directly associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the history of the City of La Mesa, California, or the nation. Research also did not identify a significant historical event that occurred on the property. Therefore, 9445 Jericho Road is not eligible under NRHP Criterion A or CRHR Criterion 1.

Criterion B/2: [Properties] that are associated with the lives of persons significant in our past.

According to its original building permit, the residence was originally owned by Patrick Ryan, who was also listed as the property’s contractor. Research identified a Patrick L. Ryan whose occupation is listed as real estate broker in the 1976 City of San Diego director and a Patrick L. Ryan whose occupation is listed as an engineer in the 1973 San Diego City Directory. Research could not definitively confirm whether either of these individuals is the same Patrick Ryan as the residence’s original owner/developer (Ancestry.com). Ryan was also listed as the owner/contractor for Map IDs 7-11, indicating he was a developer in the neighborhood.

Subsequent owners/occupants of the subject property include Bostworth (1977; no first name identified); Edward and Maria Paris (1995-2005) and their son Joe Paris (2005); and Ian Allen (2005-present). Research identified that Edward Paris was a World War II veteran; however, research did not identify additional biographical or professional information on any of these occupants. It does not appear that these individuals made significant contributions to our past. Due to a lack of identified significant associations with any persons important in our past, 5954 Amaya Drive is not eligible under NRHP Criterion B or CRHR Criterion 2.

Criterion C/3: [Properties] that embody the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction, or that represent the work of a master, or that possess high artistic values, or that represent a significant and distinguishable entity whose components may lack individual distinction.

The subject property is a modest and architecturally undistinguished example of a tract Ranch house built in 1968.

While the property does display character-defining features of the Ranch style (e.g., its horizontal emphasis and one-story height), this is a ubiquitous style applied to residences throughout the neighborhood, La Mesa, San Diego County, and California. Due to its simple form and easy replicability, the Ranch style was widely applied to houses in the post-World War II decades throughout San Diego County (City of San Diego 2007: 70). The subject property is an unremarkable example of a ubiquitous style and there are many similar examples.

According to its original building permit, the architect of 5954 Amaya Drive was Nick Di Meglio. De Meglio was born circa 1933 in New York to Sicilian immigrants (Ancestry.com). In 1959, Di Meglio’s occupation was listed as Draftsman in the City of San Diego directory (Ancestry.com). He resided in La Jolla as of 1971 (San Pedro News Pilot 1971: 2). While it appears that De Meglio had experience working in the architecture field, research did identify additional information on his career, any memberships in professional architecture organizations, or additional architectural projects associated with Di Meglio. As such, it does not appear that he was a master architect.

the same original permit number associated with them, indicating Ryan developed many homes in the neighborhood. However, it does not appear that Ryan was a master builder or contractor.

Overall, 9445 Jericho Road lacks sufficient design and construction value to meet NRHP Criterion C or CRHR Criterion 3.

Criterion D/4: [Properties] that have yielded, or may be likely to yield, information important in prehistory or history.

Under NRHP Criterion D and CRHR Criterion 4, 5954 Amaya Drive is not significant as a source, or likely source, of important historical information, nor does it appear likely to yield important information about historic construction methods, materials, or technologies. This technology is well understood through contemporary trade journals and scientific monographs. As such, the subject property lacks significance under NRHP Criterion D and CRHR Criterion 4.

City of La Mesa Historic Landmark Evaluation
A cultural resource may be recommended for designation as a landmark or historic district, if it meets one or more of the following criteria:

A. It exemplifies or reflects special elements of the City's cultural, social, economic, political, aesthetic, engineering, or architectural history.

As discussed under NRHP/CRHR Criteria A/1 and C/3, the subject property does not exemplify or reflect special elements of the City’s cultural, social, economic, political, aesthetic, engineering, or architectural history. It was constructed in 1968 during a period of rapid residential development throughout La Mesa. As such, the subject property is recommended not eligible under City of La Mesa Criteria A.

B. It is identified with persons or events significant in local, state, or national history.

As discussed under NRHP/CRHR Criteria B/2, the subject property is not associated with a significant person or events in local, state, or national history. As such, the subject property is recommended not eligible under City of La Mesa Criteria B.

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.

As discussed under NRHP/CRHR Criteria C/3, the subject property is a common Ranch style single-family residence.

It is constructed of already well-documented materials and techniques and is not a valuable example of the use of indigenous materials or craftsmanship. As such, the subject property is recommended not eligible under City of La Mesa Criteria C.

D. It is representative of the notable work of an acclaimed builder, designer, or architect.

As discussed under NRHP/CRHR Criteria C/3, the subject property is not representative of a notable work of an acclaimed builder, designer, or architect. As such, the subject property is recommended not eligible under City of La Mesa Criteria D.

E. It is identified with a person or persons or groups who significantly contributed to the culture and development of the City.

As discussed under NRHP/CRHR Criterion B/2, the subject property is not associated with a person or group who significantly contributed to the culture and development of the City. As such, the subject property is recommended not eligible under City of La Mesa Criteria E.

F. It embodies elements of outstanding attention to architectural design, detail, materials or craftsmanship.

As discussed under NRHP/CRHR Criteria C/3, the subject property does not embody elements of outstanding attention to architectural design, detail, materials, or craftsmanship. It is a ubiquitous 1970s Ranch style house constructed with already well documented materials. As such, the subject property is recommended not eligible under City of La Mesa Criteria F.

G. It is an archeological or paleontological site which has the potential of yielding information of scientific value.

As discussed under NRHP/CRHR Criteria D/4, the subject property is not an archaeological or paleontological site which has the potential of yielding information of scientific value. As such, the subject property is recommended not eligible under City of La Mesa Criteria G.

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.

As discussed under NRHP/CRHR Criteria 3, a geographically definable area possessing a concentration of associated buildings or sites is most applicable to districts. While the subject property is located in a neighborhood of residences constructed in the same time period, with many being developed by the same person, there are many such neighborhoods throughout La Mesa and research did not identify this neighborhood as having significant historical associations. As such, the subject property is recommended not eligible under City of La Mesa Criteria H.

5.7.2 Property History
The single-family residence was constructed in 1967 (City of La Mesa Permit #23777). Prior to its construction, the lot on which the property sits was undeveloped. According to its original building permit, the architect was Nick Di Meglio. The contractor is listed as the home’s owner, Patrick Ryan, who was also the original owner of Map ID 6 and Map IDs 8-11. See Section 5.6.2 for additional information on these individuals.

of La Mesa, California, or the nation. Research also did not identify a significant historical event that occurred on the property. Housing, often in the form of “modernistic residential subdivision tracts” (City of La Mesa 2012: HP2), proliferated in La Mesa as a result of this postwar population growth for the next several decades. Due to the mass production of tract homes, examples are abundant in both La Mesa and San Diego County at large (City of San Diego 2007:71).

The subject property was thus part of a period of rapid residential development in La Mesa following World War II that accommodated the city’s exponential population growth. However, mere association with a broad trend is not enough to reach the threshold of eligibility and the property is not known to be directly associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the history of the City of La Mesa, California, or the nation. Research also did not identify a significant historical event that occurred on the property. Therefore,5955 Broadmoor Drive is not eligible under NRHP Criterion A or CRHR Criterion 1.

Criterion B/2: [Properties] that are associated with the lives of persons significant in our past.

According to its original building permit, the residence was originally owned by Patrick Ryan, who was also listed as the property’s contractor. Research identified a Patrick L. Ryan whose occupation is listed as real estate broker in the 1976 City of San Diego directory and a Patrick L. Ryan whose occupation is listed as an engineer in the 1973 San Diego City Directory. Research could not definitively confirm whether either of these individuals is the same Patrick Ryan as the residence’s original owner/developer (Ancestry.com). Ryan was also listed as the owner/contractor for Map ID 6 and Map IDs 8-11, indicating that he likely developed the entire block.

The only other identified owner of the property was the Fowler Family Trust (2016-2024); however, research was unable to identify information on this entity. It does not appear that Patrick Ryan or the Fowler Family Trust made significant contributions to our past and therefore 5955 Broadmoor Drive is not eligible under NRHP Criterion B or CRHR Criterion 2.

The subject property is a modest and architecturally undistinguished example of a late 1960s single-family tract residence with no particular style. It is a ubiquitous example of its type and there are many similar examples in La Mesa, San Diego County, and California. According to its original building permit, the architect of 5955 Broadmoor Drive was Nick Di Meglio. De Meglio was born circa 1933 in New York to Sicilian immigrants (Ancestry.com). In 1959, Di Meglio’s occupation was listed as Draftsman in the City of San Diego directory (Ancestry.com). He resided in La Jolla as of 1971 (San Pedro News Pilot 1971: 2). While it appears that De Meglio had experience working in the architecture field, research did identify additional information on his career, any memberships in professional architecture organizations, or additional architectural projects associated with Di Meglio. As such, it does not appear that he was a master architect.

The contractor is listed as the home’s owner, Patrick Ryan. While research did not identify substantive biographical or professional information on Ryan, he was also the original owner of Map ID 6 and Map IDs 8-11. These properties also have the same original permit number associated with them, indicating Ryan developed many homes in the neighborhood. However, it does not appear that Ryan was a master builder or contractor.

The subject property appears to have been constructed through already well-documented and common construction techniques and methods and does not appear to possess high artistic values by articulating a particular concept of design to the extent that it expresses an aesthetic ideal. The last portion of Criterion C refers to a district, which is defined as a significant and distinguishable entity whose components may lack individual distinction. The subject property does not contribute to the significance of a potential or existing historic district.

Overall, 5955 Broadmoor Drive lacks sufficient design and construction value to meet NRHP Criterion C or CRHR Criterion 3.

Under NRHP Criterion D and CRHR Criterion 4, 5055 Broadmoor Drive is not significant as a source, or likely source, of important historical information, nor does it appear likely to yield important information about historic construction methods, materials, or technologies. This technology is well understood through contemporary trade journals and scientific monographs. As such, the subject property lacks significance under NRHP Criterion D and CRHR Criterion 4.

5.9.3 Statement of Significance
The following section provides an evaluation of the single-family residence at 9407 Broadmoor Place under NRHP, CRHR, and City of La Mesa significance criteria and integrity considerations.

NRHP/CRHR Evaluation
Criterion A/1: [Properties] that are associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of our history.

The single-family residence at 9407 Broadmoor Place was constructed in 1968. Following World War II's conclusion in 1945, La Mesa's population increased dramatically and the "municipality was soon regarded as one of the fastest growing suburban cities in the San Diego region" (City of La Mesa 2012: HP-3). The subject property was thus part of the La Mesa’s growth post-World War II to accommodate the needs of an influx of new residents. While the postWorld War II growth was an important trend regionally and in California, this property did not play a significant role in this trend. It was one of many constructed during this period of growth and did not influence this trend. It is also

not known to be directly associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the history of the City of La Mesa, California, or the nation. Research also did not identify a significant historical event that occurred on the property. Therefore, 9407 Broadmoor Place is not eligible under NRHP Criterion A or CRHR Criterion 1.

Criterion B/2: [Properties] that are associated with the lives of persons significant in our past.

According to its original building permit, the residence was originally owned by Patrick Ryan, who was also listed as the property’s contractor. Research identified a Patrick L. Ryan whose occupation is listed as real estate broker in the 1976 City of San Diego directory and a Patrick L. Ryan whose occupation is listed as an engineer in the 1973 San Diego City Directory. Research could not definitively confirm whether either of these individuals is the same Patrick Ryan as the residence’s original owner/developer (Ancestry.com). Ryan was also listed as the owner/contractor for Map IDs 6-8 and Map IDs 10 and 11, indicating that he likely developed the entire block.

Subsequent owners/occupants of the subject property include Sylvester E Strand (1968- at least 1994) and his son, Eugene H. Strand (at least 2012 – present). Sylvester Strand (1918-2011) was born in Minnesota and was a Master Technical Sergeant in the Marine Corps, serving for three years during World War II. In the 1964 San Diego City Directory, his profession is listed as assemblyman (Ancestry.com; Los Angeles Times 1945: 17). However, research did not identify additional biographical or professional information on the Strand family. It does not appear that these individuals made significant contributions to our past and therefore, 9407 Broadmoor Place is not eligible under NRHP Criterion B or CRHR Criterion 2.

According to its original building permit, the architect of 9407 Broadmoor Place was Nick Di Meglio. De Meglio was born circa 1933 in New York to Sicilian immigrants (Ancestry.com). In 1959, Di Meglio’s occupation was listed as Draftsman in the City of San Diego directory (Ancestry.com). He resided in La Jolla as of 1971 (San Pedro News Pilot 1971: 2). While it appears that De Meglio had experience working in the architecture field, research did identify additional information on his career, any memberships in professional architecture organizations, or additional architectural projects associated with Di Meglio. As such, it does not appear that he was a master architect.

The contractor is listed as the home’s owner, Patrick Ryan. While research did not identify substantive biographical or professional information on Ryan, he was also the original owner of Map IDs 6-8 and Map IDs 10 and 11. These properties also have the same original permit number associated with them, indicating Ryan developed many homes in the neighborhood. However, it does not appear that Ryan was a master builder or contractor.

Research did not identify additional biographical or professional information on these individuals and entity. It does not appear that these individuals made significant contributions to our past and therefore, 9405 Broadmoor Place is not eligible under NRHP Criterion B or CRHR Criterion 2.

The subject property is a modest and architecturally undistinguished example of a tract Ranch house built in 1968. While the property does display character-defining features of the Ranch style (e.g., its horizontal emphasis and one-story height), this is a ubiquitous style applied to residences throughout the neighborhood, La Mesa, San Diego County, and California. Due to its simple form and easy replicability with prefabricated components, the Ranch style was widely applied to houses in the post-World War II decades throughout San Diego County (City of San Diego 2007: 70). The subject property is an unremarkable example of a ubiquitous style and there are many similar examples.

The contractor is listed as the home’s owner, Patrick Ryan. While research did not identify substantive biographical or professional information on Ryan, he was also the original owner of Map IDs 6 and 7 and Map IDs 9-11.These properties also have the same original permit number associated with them, indicating Ryan developed many homes in the neighborhood. However, it does not appear that Ryan was a master builder or contractor.

Criterion B/2: [Properties] that are associated with the lives of persons significant in our past.

According to its original building permit, the residence was originally owned by Patrick Ryan, who was also listed as the property’s contractor. Research identified a Patrick L. Ryan whose occupation is listed as real estate broker in the 1976 City of San Diego directory and a Patrick L. Ryan whose occupation is listed as an engineer in the 1973 San Diego City Directory. Research could not definitively confirm whether either of these individuals is the same Patrick Ryan as the residence’s original owner/developer (Ancestry.com). Ryan was also listed as the owner/contractor for Map IDs 6 -10, indicating that he likely developed the entire block.

Per a building permit from 1981, the owner of the property was Ward-Steinman; however, this permit did not include a first name. Research identified a David Ward-Steinman who was a musician, composer, and professor of music at San Diego State University from 1961 to the 1980s (Times-Advocate 1968: 9; Herman 1984: 57). While WardSteinman appears to have been a prolific musician, research could not confirm that he was the resident of the subject property or that any of his work was produced at the subject property. Subsequent owners/occupants of the subject property include Carlos E. and Vicki L. Drago (2013 - present); however, research did not identify additional information on these individuals. It does not appear that these individuals made significant contributions to our past and therefore, 9403 Broadmoor Place is not eligible under NRHP Criterion B or CRHR Criterion 2.

T The subject property is a modest and architecturally undistinguished example of a late 1960s single-family tract residence with no particular style. It is a ubiquitous example of its type and there are many similar examples in La Mesa, San Diego County, and California.

According to its original building permit, the architect of 9403 Broadmoor Place was Nick Di Meglio. De Meglio was born circa 1933 in New York to Sicilian immigrants (Ancestry.com). In 1959, Di Meglio’s occupation was listed as Draftsman in the City of San Diego directory (Ancestry.com). He resided in La Jolla as of 1971 (San Pedro News Pilot 1971: 2). While it appears that De Meglio had experience working in the architecture field, research did identify additional information on his career, any memberships in professional architecture organizations, or additional architectural projects associated with Di Meglio. As such, it does not appear that he was a master architect.

Overall, 9403 Broadmoor Place lacks sufficient design and construction value to meet NRHP Criterion C or CRHR Criterion 3.

Therefore, the building was not visible during the survey on February 12, 2024 (Photograph 15). The following description is based on aerial imagery. The property at 9330 Earl Street (APN 486-670-05) contains one two-story building. It has a flat roof and a U-shape footprint with what appears to be a courtyard at its center. There is an ancillary structure at the north of the lot that has a rectangular footprint and gable roof (Exhibit 3). Historic aerial photographs indicate that the subject property’s footprint, configuration, roadways, and ancillary structure have remained consistent since 1953 (NETR 2024a). The property is bounded by multi-family residences to the

5.12.2 Property History
The single-family residence located at 9330 Earl Street was constructed in 1940 (ParcelQuest 2024). The earliest available photograph of the subject property from 1953 shows it retains the same overall footprint, roadway configuration, and general landscaping as the present day (see Exhibit 3 in Section 5.2.12). The property was originally surrounded by undeveloped land until circa 1964, when single and multi-family residences began to proliferate in the area (including Map ID 14: 9320 Earl Street which abuts the subject property to the west) (NETR 2024a). Research did not identify the original architect, builder, or contractor of 9330 Earl Street and the City of La Mesa did not have the original building permit on file.

Research revealed that the same family has owned the property since 1984 (Table 17). No other owners or occupants were identified.

5.12.3 Statement of Significance
The following section provides an evaluation of the single-family residence at 9330 Earl Street under NRHP, CRHR, and City of La Mesa significance criteria and integrity considerations.

NRHP/CRHR Evaluation
Criterion A/1: [Properties] that are associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of our history.

Archival research did not identify and such any direct associations. The subject property was not visible from the public right-of-way at the time of the survey. It is not included on the City of La Mesa Historic Resources Inventory and Landmarks Table, which documents properties that were identified as part of a survey in 1985, nor is it a designated City of La Mesa landmark.

The single-family residence at 9330 Earl Street was constructed in 1940 (ParcelQuest 2024). By 1930, the city of La Mesa’s population was approximately 2,500, expanding to 3,912 by 1940 (City of La Mesa 2012: HP-3). While single-family residences such as the subject property were developed sporadically throughout La Mesa to accommodate this population increase, “little growth occurred until the onset of World War II and beyond, when La Mesa and municipalities throughout the entire State experienced tremendous growth in the form of new residential tracts and suburban commercial centers” (City of La Mesa 2012: HP-3). As such, the subject property represents the beginning of a decades long period of residential construction in La Mesa and the neighborhood

that predominately began after World War II. However, mere association with a broad trend is not enough to reach the threshold of eligibility and the property is not known to be directly associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the history of the City of La Mesa, California, or the nation. Research also did not identify a significant historical event that occurred on the property. Therefore, 9330 Earl Street is not eligible under NRHP Criterion A or CRHR Criterion 1.

Criterion B/2: [Properties] that are associated with the lives of persons significant in our past.

Research did not identify the original owner of the subject property; the only identified occupants of the property were Robert M. Busley (1984-2018), who was discharged from the United States Navy in 1942 (Ancestry.com) and the Robert L. and Nacy K. Busley Living Trust (2019-2024), operated by Robert M. Busley’s son and daughter inlaw (City of La Mesa Permits #48187 and #P18-139). Research did not identify additional biographical or professional information on these individuals. Due to a lack of identified significant associations with any persons important in our past, 9330 Earl Street is not eligible under NRHP Criterion B or CRHR Criterion 2.

The subject property was not visible at the time of the field survey, so its architectural style could not be observed.

It is not included on the City of La Mesa Historic Resources Inventory and Landmarks Table, which documents properties that were identified as part of a survey in 1985, nor is it a designated City of La Mesa landmark, indicating that it has not previously been recognized for its architecture. Based on available information, it does not appear that the subject property likely embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type or period.

Aerial photographs from 1953 to 2022 show that the subject property’s footprint, orientation, landscaping, roadway configuration, and ancillary structure have all remained consistent since 1953, except for the enclosure of a patio on the southwest elevation in 1984 (City of La Mesa Permit #HERE; NETR 2024a). Archival research did not identify an architect, designer, or builder, and there was no original building permit on file for the property. Based on available imagery and archival research, it does not appear that the subject property was the work of a master builder or architect. Research did not identify any information that would indicate the subject property was not constructed through already well-documented and common construction techniques and methods. The last portion of Criterion C refers to a district, and the property does not contribute to the significance of a potential or existing historic district. Based on available information, 9330 Earl Street appears to lack sufficient design and construction value to meet NRHP Criterion C or CRHR Criterion 3.

Criterion D/4: [Properties] that have yielded, or may be likely to yield, information important in prehistory or history.

Under NRHP Criterion D and CRHR Criterion 4, 9330 Earl Street does not appear to be a significant as a source, or likely source, of important historical information, nor does it appear likely to yield important information about historic construction methods, materials, or technologies. As such, the subject property lacks significance under NRHP Criterion D and CRHR Criterion 4.

5.13.2 Property History
The multi-family residential complex was constructed in 1970 (City of La Mesa Permit #27604). Prior to its construction, the lot on which the property sits was undeveloped. According to its original building permit, the architect of 5810 Amaya Drive was Robert T. Peters. Research, through Newspapers.com, Calisphere, Ancestry.com, and the American Institute of Architects Historical Directory, did not identify additional information on Robert T. Peters.

Because this is a multi-family residential complex it has had numerous owners and occupants since it was constructed in 1970. Table 18 provides a summary of the identified owners and occupants of 5810 Amaya Drive since its construction in 1970 (Table 18).

NRHP/CRHR Evaluation
Criterion A/1: [Properties] that are associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of our history.

The multifamily apartment complex at 5810 Amaya Drive was constructed in 1970, which is near the end of this significant residential development trends in La Mesa. Therefore, it is not directly associated with the post-World War II decades and only has a mere association with La Mesa’s development. However, mere association with a broad trend is not enough to reach the threshold of eligibility. The property is not known to be directly associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the history of the City of La Mesa, California, or the nation.

Research also did not identify a significant historical event that occurred at the property. Therefore, 5810 Amaya Drive is not eligible under NRHP Criterion A or CRHR Criterion 1.

Criterion B/2: [Properties] that are associated with the lives of persons significant in our past.

The property has been owned by various entities from 1970 to the present day, including PRC Development Corporation (1970) and Vista Amaya Apartments (1975--2007). Research did not identify any names associated with these entities, or any individuals who inhabited the subject property who played an important role in history.

Therefore, 5810 Amaya Drive is not eligible under NRHP Criterion B or CRHR Criterion 2.

The subject property is a modest and architecturally undistinguished example of a multifamily residential complex with no particular style. It is a ubiquitous example of its type and there are many similar examples in La Mesa, San Diego County, and California. According to its original building permit, the architect of 5810 Amaya Drive was Robert T. Peters. Research, through Newspapers.com, Calisphere, Ancestry.com, and the American Institute of Architects Historical Directory, did not identify additional information on Robert T. Peters. It appears unlikely that the property was constructed by a master architect or builder.

Overall, 5810 Amaya Drive lacks sufficient design and construction value to meet NRHP Criterion C or CRHR Criterion 3.

The City of La Mesa provided Dudek with 345 pages of permits associated with 9320 Earl Street on February 27, 2024. These permits did not contain information on any major alterations other than permits associated with the original construction of the property. Alterations noted in the permits included various permits for the construction of shade covers for carports (1977), individual condominium patio covers (1984), and re-roofing (most recently in 2007). Due to the volume of permits, these and similar alterations (such as individual alterations to the interiors of condominiums), are not addressed below as these alterations do not affect the historic integrity of the condominium complex as a whole.

The following exterior alterations to 9320 Earl Street were identified the field survey:

5.14.2 Property History
Grossmont Village condominiums located at 9320 Earl Street were constructed in 1963 (City of La Mesa Permits #18686 and #19147; NETR 2024). Prior to its construction, the lot on which the complex sits was undeveloped.

According to original building permits from the property’s construction in 1963, the architect was Stan Ring.

Research identified a Stan Ring who, in 1984, owned Taylor Paper Tubes Company, which produced cardboard tubes (Hardy 1984: 34) According to a newspaper article about the business, Ring “started looking for a new source of income after deciding to get out of the real estate business” (Hardy 1984: 34). Research did identify additional information on Ring’s career, any memberships in professional architecture organizations, or additional architectural projects. The contractor is listed as the complex’s original owner, Walter G. Kurz (City of La Mesa Permits #18686 and #19147). Besides what is listed in Table 19, research did not identify additional biographical or professional information on Kurz, nor did it identify additional projects constructed by Kurz.

Dudek received 345 pages of building permits from the City of La Mesa for 9320 Earl Street. Because of the number of owners and residents (66) for this large complex, Table 19 below is limited to information on identified property owners or residents who verifiably owned or occupied a condominium in the complex for two years or longer.

Information on these occupants primarily comes from building permits associated with the property; some of these permits included ownership information that was limited to an individual’s last name with no identifying first name or other biographical information. As such, these names are excluded from the table below.

5.14.3 Statement of Significance
The following section provides an evaluation of the single-family residence at 9320 Earl Street under NRHP, CRHR, and City of La Mesa significance criteria and integrity considerations.

NRHP/CRHR Evaluation
Criterion A/1: [Properties] that are associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of our history.

Grossmont Village, a multifamily condominium complex located at 9320 Earl Street, was constructed in 1963.

The subject property was thus part of the La Mesa’s growth post-World War II to accommodate the needs of an influx of new residents. While the post-World War II growth was an important trend regionally and in California, this property did not play a significant role in this trend. It was one of many constructed during this period of growth and did not influence this trend. It is also not known to be directly associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the history of the City of La Mesa, California, or the nation. Research also did not identify a significant historical event that occurred on the property. Therefore, 9330 Earl Street is not eligible under NRHP Criterion A or CRHR Criterion 1.

Criterion B/2: [Properties] that are associated with the lives of persons significant in our past.

Grossmont contains approximately 150 condominiums. Building permit research identified numerous occupants from the property’s construction to the present day. Residents who verifiably resided at Grossmont Village for more than two years are as follows: Eddie and Judy Simon (1979-1982); Eddie and Judy Simon (1979-1982); Margaret Ellis O’Neal (1981-1984); Betty J. Kandt (1982-2018); Judith Peterson (1994-2009); Donna Cross (2002-2005); Eileen M. Black (2002-2020); and Robert and Carol Haller (2012-2024). However, research did not identify additional biographical or professional information on these individuals, and it does not appear that they made significant contributions to our past. Therefore, 9320 Earl Street is not eligible under NRHP Criterion B or CRHR Criterion 2.

According to original building permits from the property’s construction in 1963, the architect was Stan Ring. The contractor is listed as the complex’s original owner, Walter G. Kurz (City of La Mesa Permits #18686 and #19147).

Research identified a Stan Ring who, in 1984, owned Taylor Paper Tubes Company, which produced cardboard tubes (Hardy 1984: 34). According to a newspaper article about the business, Ring "started looking for a new source of income after deciding to get out of the real estate business" (Hardy 1984: 34). Research did identify additional information on Ring’s career, any memberships in professional architecture organizations, or additional architectural projects. As such, it appears unlikely that Ring was a master architect. According to the 1963 San Diego directory, Kurz’s profession was listed as a contractor (Ancestry.com). However, research did not identify additional biographical or professional information on Kurz, nor did it identify additional projects constructed by Kurz. He does not appear to be a master builder or contractor.

Criterion D/4: [Properties] that have yielded, or may be likely to yield, information important in prehistory or history.

Under NRHP Criterion D and CRHR Criterion 4, 9320 Earl Street is not significant as a source, or likely source, of important historical information, nor does it appear likely to yield important information about historic construction methods, materials, or technologies. This technology is well understood through contemporary trade journals and scientific monographs. As such, the subject property lacks significance under NRHP Criterion D and CRHR Criterion 4.

City of La Mesa Historic Landmark Evaluation
A cultural resource may be recommended for designation as a landmark or historic district, if it meets one or more of the following criteria:

A. It exemplifies or reflects special elements of the City's cultural, social, economic, political, aesthetic, engineering, or architectural history.

As discussed under NRHP/CRHR Criteria A/1, the subject property does not exemplify or reflect special elements of the City’s cultural, social, economic, political, aesthetic, engineering, or architectural history. It is a multi-family residential condominium complex constructed in 1963 during a period of rapid residential development throughout La Mesa. As such, the subject property is recommended not eligible under City of La Mesa Criteria A.

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.

As discussed under NRHP/CRHR Criteria C/3, the subject property is a common Ranch style single-family residence.

D. It is representative of the notable work of an acclaimed builder, designer, or architect.

E. It is identified with a person or persons 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.

1960s multi-family condominium complex constructed with already well documented materials. As such, the subject property is recommended not eligible under City of La Mesa Criteria F.

G. It is an archeological or paleontological site which has the potential of yielding information of scientific value.

As discussed under NRHP/CRHR Criteria 3, a geographically definable area possessing a concentration of associated buildings or sites is most applicable to districts. While the subject property is located in a neighborhood of single and multi-family residences constructed in the same time period , there are many such neighborhoods throughout La Mesa and research did not identify this neighborhood as having significant historical associations.

As such, the subject property is recommended not eligible under City of La Mesa Criteria H.

5.15 Integrity
Integrity is the ability of a property to convey its significance. Because the concept of integrity is based on significance, the assessment of a property’s integrity can only proceed after its significance has been fully established. In addition to meeting at least one of the significance criteria, the assessment of integrity requires consideration under the following seven aspects or qualities: location, design, materials, workmanship, setting, feeling, and association. To retain integrity, a property will always possess several, and generally most, of these aspects. Determining which aspects are most important requires an understanding of why, where, and when the property is significant. Because Map IDs 1-11 and Map ID 14 evaluated in this report lack sufficient significance to meet any of the criteria for listing in the NRHP, CRHR, or as a City of La Mesa landmark, an integrity analysis was considered immaterial for these properties.

Map ID 12: 9330 Earl Street was not visible during the time of the field survey. However, Dudek evaluated the property using available aerial imagery and information gathered during archival research. This evaluation recommended the property ineligible under all NRHP, CRHR, and City of La Mesa criteria. For due diligence, Dudek conducted an integrity assessment for the property’s location, design, setting, and association based on available research and aerial photographs:
▪ Location: The subject property has not been moved and remains in its original location. Therefore, 9330 Earl Street retains integrity of location.
▪ Design: The subject property was not visible from the public right-of-way. However, aerial photographs indicate that since 1953, the subject property’s footprint, configuration, roadway, landscaping, and ancillary structure have all remained consistent, except for a patio enclosure on the southwest corner of

EVALUATION REPORT

MARCH 2024
the property from 1984. Therefore, based on available information, it appears that 9330 Earl Street likely retains integrity of design.
▪ Setting: The subject property was constructed in 1940. The earliest available aerial photograph of the property from 1953 shows it extant with no surrounding development. By 1966, Map ID 14: 9320 Earl Street was extant and abutted the subject property to the northeast, and tract housing was extant in the surrounding area. By 1978, the entire area was built-out with predominately with single and multifamily residences its formerly rural setting had become suburban. Therefore, the 9330 Earl Street does not retain integrity of setting.
▪ Association: Research did not identify the subject property as being the location of an important historic even or as having a direct link to an important person. Therefore, integrity of association is not applicable.

6 Findings and Conclusions
The subject properties were evaluated in consideration of NRHP, CRHR, and City of La Mesa Historic Landmark criteria and integrity requirements. As a result of the evaluation, all the subject properties (Map IDs 1-14) are recommended not eligible for inclusion in the NRHP, CRHR, or as a City of La Mesa landmark due to a lack of significant associations and architectural merit.

Extensive archival research, a SCIC records search, field survey, and property evaluations of significance resulted in no historical resources or historic properties identified within the Project API. The subject properties are not currently designated or listed under any national, state, or local registration programs, nor have they been previously identified as eligible for local designation by any historical resource surveys.

Dudek evaluated the resources in the API in accordance with Section 15064.5 (a)(2)-(3) of the CEQA Guidelines using the criteria outlined in Section 5024.1 of the California PRC and found that none of the resources within the API are considered historical resources for the purposes of CEQA. The recommended Status Code for the subject properties (Map IDs 1-14) is 6Z. A summary of the findings is provided below in Table 20.

Subject: Jericho Road Residential Development Project, City of La Mesa, California To Whom it May Concern,
Dudek has been retained by the MLC Holdings, Inc. to assess and disclose the potential impacts on the environment of the Jericho Road Residential Development Project (Proposed Project). The Proposed Project is located in the City of La Mesa at 9407 Jericho Road. The existing site is currently developed with the Calvary Chapel, a parking lot, turf area, a playground, and associated church facilities/structures (see Figure 1 enclosed).

The project site is surrounded by single-family homes to the north and east, and multi-family developments to the south and west. The client is proposing to redevelop the existing site to include up to 73 three story townhomes on the 3.49-acre site. The proposed townhomes would range in size from approximately 1,200 – 1,800 square feet and 2-4 bedrooms. Dudek understands that the project site is located within one half-mile of a major transit stop and parking minimums do not apply; however, the project would include two garage spaces per unit plus approximately 5 guest spaces.

As part of our study, we are consulting all regional historical organizations to determine if there are any known historic or cultural resources that may be affected by the Proposed Project. Your efforts in this process will provide invaluable information for the proper identification and treatment of such resources. If you have any information regarding known cultural resources in the Proposed Project area, please feel free to contact me via phone or email (listed below). All comments, emails, or letters received will be included in the reports generated by this study. Thank you for your time regarding our request.

Sincerely,

Subject: Jericho Road
Date: Saturday, February 24, 2024 1:04:54 PM
Hi Kathy: The attachments did not come through with your inquiry to the Pacific Southwest Railway Museum, but I presume you are talking about the Jericho Road in La Mesa. The existing line of the San Diego Trolley is the same right of way of several older railroad companies and the alignment in this area has stayed the same, so there is no impact on historic resources connected with the railroad north of Amaya Street. If your project area extends south of Amaya to the trolley right of way then there might be impacts, so in that case we would need to see the project boundaries before making any assessment.

Historic Contexts
The City of La Mesa’s 2012 General Plan Historic Preservation Element includes a historical overview of the city’s establishment and development. This overview is reproduced below to provide sufficient context through which to evaluate the subject property:

Founded in 1869, the lands comprising present-day La Mesa were initially within the boundaries of Rancho Mission San Diego de Alcala. The area was first settled in the American Period, in approximately 1868, when Robert Allison purchased property for use as a sheep ranch and other animal husbandry activities. In 1887 Allison purchased construction bonds and granted a right-of-way to the new San Diego, Cuyamaca, and Eastern Railroad Company. By 1895, newspapers and periodicals referenced La Mesa as “Allison Springs,” “La Mesa Springs,” and “La Mesa Colony.” Into the early twentieth century the local economy expanded to include agriculture and citrus orchards with packing warehouses, health resorts and limited film production facilities. By 1912, at the time of incorporation, the city’s population had reached 700 (City of La Mesa 2012: HP-2).

Construction of El Cajon Boulevard, around the time of World War I, provided for an alternative transportation route between San Diego and La Mesa. By 1930 La Mesa’s population increased to 2,500, however, because of the Great Depression, little growth occurred until the onset of World War II and beyond, when La Mesa and municipalities throughout the entire State experienced tremendous growth in the form of new residential tracts and suburban commercial centers (City of La Mesa 2012: HP-3).

By 1940 the city’s population reached 3,912. Subsequent to WWII, La Mesa’s population increased exponentially, and the municipality was soon regarded as one of the fastest growing suburban cities in the San Diego region.

Infrastructure demands and land annexations characterize the post-World War II period of La Mesa’s history, with the development of comprehensively constructed residential tracts improved with dwellings in modernistic Ranch style, replete with new schools and shopping centers to support the growing population. Housing stock and forms changed to reflect the rise of modernistic residential subdivision tracts. These new communities were connected by major transportation corridors developed in the mid-to-late 1950s, including SRs 94 and 125 (City of La Mesa 2012:

HP-3).

By the early 1950s, the student population in La Mesa and the surrounding jurisdictions had peaked with a record enrollment of 3,000 at Grossmont High School. The overcrowding demanded an immediate solution in the form of two new schools opening in 1952, La Mesa Junior High School and Helix High School. New commercial developments were similarly plentiful, culminating in the 1961 opening of Grossmont Shopping Center, the second regional mall built in San Diego County (City of La Mesa 2012: HP-4).

As economical vacant land was consumed by new single-family neighborhoods; rising land costs in the older parts of La Mesa created a demand for higher-density cost-effective housing which, in the 1950s and 1960s, resulted in the development of infill apartment buildings in and around established historic-era neighborhoods. Inconsistent in appearance and form from the preceding historic-era neighborhoods, these infill projects were constructed in a mix of minimal and Modernistic styles, which contributed to the erosion or replacement of some older neighborhoods and buildings. This trend was reversed in the 1970s as citizens of La Mesa initiated historic preservation efforts culminating in the adoption of the city’s inaugural Historic Preservation Program in the mid-1980s, including adoption of the city’s first Historic Preservation Element (City of La Mesa 2012: HP-4).

Post-World War II Tract Housing (1945-1975)
During World War II, manufacturing jobs were abundant in California while housing was lacking, resulting in many workers living in vehicles, tents, and other temporary shelters. Despite the passing of the Lanham Act in 1940, which appropriated $1.3 billion for the construction of 700,000 homes, the War Production Board prohibited non-essential construction during wartime including market-driven housing in 1942. This resulted in an enormous lack of housing, with construction being limited to single-family tracts for industry workers and cheap and quickly built multi-family housing intended to be temporary (Caltrans 2011: 5).

The government programs intended to assist working-class families and veterans to purchase a house contributed to a postWorld War II development boom. These included the G.I. Bill created to help veterans of World War II pay for additional education and Veterans Affairs (VA) loans for purchasing homes. These benefits were disproportionately given to white veterans due to systemic racism and unfair government practices. In 1950, the Federal Housing Authority (FHA) attempted to address this racial discrimination by deciding to refuse insuring mortgages on properties subject to restrictive covenants (Mead & Hunt and Louis Berger Group, Inc. 2012: 56). In November of 1962, President Kennedy issued an Executive Order prohibiting racial discrimination in all housing that received federal aid, including FHA and VA mortgage guarantees (Caltrans 2011: 30). California passed its owns open-housing legislation known as the Unruh Act in 1959. This was followed by the Rumford Act in 1963, which specifically prohibited racial discrimination by banks, real estate brokers and mortgage companies. With the government programs and new housing opportunities, racial residential patterns slowly began to change in California.

Two popular trends in post-World War II housing development were tract housing and cluster planning. Residential tracts allowed for builders to defray the cost of providing utilities resulting in many cities growing not one house at a time, but rather by adding entire new subdivisions (Caltrans 2011: 43-48). Developers started to hire architects not to design a single home but rather a set of stock plans, resulting in new communities of 300-400 nearly identical homes (City of San Diego Planning Department 2007: 36-39). Tract communities display common elements in design, creating clusters of similar houses having the same basic architectural detailing, scale, style, and setting usually around curvilinear streets. Between 1949 and 1966, Eichler Homes, Joseph Eichler’s company, created neighborhoods that were planned communities with concentric circle street plans and shared amenity spaces such as parks, community centers, and pools. These subdivisions influenced the designs of other developers to include modern design, livability, and economy (City of Palo Alto 2018: 33-36). Frequently the architectural styles of Tract Ranch and Contemporary were employed, with developers typically offering four or five models each with customizable features (City of San Diego Planning Department 2007: 39). Customizable features could include, rooflines, exterior cladding materials, light fixtures, cabinetry, and kitchen finishes. In the 1960s, the concept of cluster planning became popular which involved setting aside a portion of green space with the surrounding housing being more densely grouped on the remaining land. Cluster planning provided public spaces such as parkland, pedestrian and bicycle paths. This allowed developers to move less earth and remove fewer trees, which local governments often supported. It was

a trend supported by local governments and environmentalists. It was also economically beneficial for developers because they could avoid areas where it would be costly to develop and reduced their costs for infrastructure like water and sewer lines (Caltrans 2011: 49).

La Mesa’s residential development history reflects a combination of the tract housing development type and the cluster planning. Within the API, all of the subject properties are located in Tract 5572 in the Northmont neighborhood La Mesa followed a similar design aesthetic to the nearby neighborhood of Clairemont in that it contains Tract Ranch and Contemporary master-planned neighborhoods, which became ubiquitous in the region’s post-World War II era. Some of the most common examples of multi-family residences are townhomes, apartment buildings, condominium complexes, and duplexes. Popular architectural styles employed to design residential properties include Tract Ranch and Contemporary (City of San Diego Planning Department 2007: 40-49)
Mid-Century Modern (1940-1975)
The Mid-Century Modern style is reflective of International and Bauhaus styles popular in Europe in the early twentieth century.

The development of the Mid-Century Modern style in the United States was largely fostered by World War II. Prominent European practitioners of the International and Bauhaus styles, namely architects Ludwig Mies Van der Rohe and Walter Gropius, fled to the United States during World War II. The United States became a manufacturing and industrial leader.

Materials and aesthetics evolved to reflect modern innovations that dominated design and construction following the war.

Early Modernists practicing in California included Rudolph Schindler, Richard Neutra, and Frank Lloyd Wright who brought many elements of these design aesthetics and material experimentation to Southern California in the 1920s (ARG 2016: 98; McAlester 2015: 630-646; Morgan 2004: 362 Moruzzi 2013: E6).

Mid-Century Modern design was embraced intellectually as a departure from the past, but it was economically appealing for its ability to be mass-produced with standardized, affordable, and replicable designs that could accommodate many programmatic needs and site requirements. There was a need for a style that could meet the demand for mass construction of many property types – from residences to schools to offices – and convey the modern sensibility of an era that valued a departure from the past; middle-class growth; economic efficiency; and new material technology. Practitioners of the style were focused on the most cutting-edge materials and techniques (ARG 2016: 98; McAlester 2015: 630-646; Morgan 2004:
362 Moruzzi 2013: E6).

The Mid-Century Modern style was widely adopted in the building boom that followed World War II, particularly in the newly sprawling developments radiating from Southern California’s major urban centers. The Case Study House program made Los Angeles a center of experimentation within the style, and the influence of new modern designs radiated outwards to communities around Los Angeles County, including Buena Park, where the characteristics of Mid-Century Modern design could be appropriated for massive scale production. Mass-produced Mid-Century Modern building materials like concrete, wood, steel, and glass made it the perfect style for growing cities (ARG 2016: 98; McAlester 2015: 630-646; Morgan 2004:
362 Moruzzi 2013: E6).

Mid-Century Modern is characterized by more solid wall surfaces as opposed to large planes of glass and steel that characterize the International Style (and its successors, including Corporate Modern). Stacked bond brick walls are a common feature of commercial and institutional (primarily educational) buildings in the Mid-Century Modern style. While Mid-Century Modern architecture uses industrial materials and geometric forms, the style often references local vernacular traditions, particularly in the use of wood and the relationship between indoor and outdoor spaces. Residential and low-scale commercial buildings exhibit flat roofs, deep overhangs, open floor plans, extensive use of glass, indoor/outdoor flow, and concrete slab

foundations. The designs rarely incorporate applied ornamentation or references to historical styles. Many property types exhibit the characteristics of the Mid-Century Modern style; however, not all Mid-Century Modern designs rise to the level of significant examples of the architectural style (ARG 2016: 98; McAlester 2015: 630-646; Morgan 2004: 362 Moruzzi 2013:

E6).

Characteristics of the Mid-Century Modern style for commercial properties:
• One- to two stories in height
• Low, boxy, horizontal proportions
• Simple geometric forms with a lack of exterior decoration • Commonly asymmetrical
• Flat roofed without coping at roofline; flat roofs hidden behind parapets or cantilevered canopies • Expressed post-and-beam construction in wood or steel • Exterior wall materials include stucco, brick, or concrete • Mass-produced materials
• Simple windows (metal or wood) flush-mounted and clerestory • Industrially plain doors
• Floor to ceiling window walls
• Extensive use of sheltered exterior corridors, with flat or slightly sloped roofs supported by posts, piers, or pipe columns
• Modern signage
• Deeply recessed and or angled vestibules
• Integrated planters
• Projecting vertical elements

NRHP/CRHR Evaluation
The following section provides an evaluation of the single-family residence at 9407 Jericho Road under NRHP and CRHR significance criteria and integrity considerations.

Criterion A/1: [Properties] that are associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of our history.

Following World War II's conclusion in 1945, La Mesa's population increased dramatically, and the "municipality was soon regarded as one of the fastest growing suburban cities in the San Diego region" (City of La Mesa 2012: HP-3). To serve the growing population, corresponding infrastructure, schools, civic buildings, religious buildings, and residential tract housing proliferated at a rapid rate in La Mesa through the next several decades (City of La Mesa 2012: HP-3). The church building at 9407 Jericho Road was constructed in 1959 with the addition of two educational buildings in 1973. The subject property was thus part of the La Mesa’s growth post-World War II to accommodate the needs of an influx of new residents. While the postWorld War II growth was an important trend regionally and in California, this property did not play a significant role in this trend. It was one of many constructed during this period of growth and did not influence this trend. It is also not known to be directly associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the history of the City of La Mesa, California, or the nation. Research also did not identify a significant historical event that occurred on the property. Therefore, 9407 Jericho Road is not eligible under NRHP Criterion A or CRHR Criterion 1.

Criterion B/2: [Properties] that are associated with the lives of persons significant in our past.

Since its construction, 9407 Jericho Road has been a church under several different names, including Gospel of Life Evangelistic and Missionary Association (1959-1961); Grossmont Hills Bible Church (1964-1967); Jericho Road Baptist Church (1973-2012); and Calvary Chapel of El Cajon (2013-2024). Research identified two pastors associated with the property throughout its history. Other than their positions as pastors, research did not identify biographic or additional

professional information on either individual, and it does not appear that they made a significant contribution to our past.

Therefore, 9407 Jericho Road is not eligible under NRHP Criterion B or CRHR Criterion 2.

The subject property is a modest and architecturally undistinguished example of a church constructed in 1959 that displays some of the distinctive characteristics of the Mid-Century Modern style (e.g., its minimal ornamentation, horizontal massing, boxy geometric form, and a repeating pattern of fenestration). Due to its geometric form, easily replicable components, economical efficiency, and minimal ornamentation, Mid Century Modern design elements were commonly applied to modest utilitarian buildings in the 1950s and 1960s. As an undistinguished example of the style, the subject property represents one of many such buildings that exhibit similar stylistic elements constructed in the post-World War II building boom in La Mesa.

It is a ubiquitous example of its style, and there are many similar examples in La Mesa, San Diego County, and California, and it is not an important example. The church campus was expanded in 1973 with two architecturally undistinguished educational buildings.

The subject property appears to have been constructed through already well-documented and common construction techniques and methods and does not appear to possess high artistic values by articulating a particular concept of design to the extent that it expresses an aesthetic ideal. The original building permit for 9407 Jericho Road lists two names under architect/engineer: Noble Russey and M.L. Cowen. Research, through Newspapers.com, Calisphere, Ancestry.com, and the American Institute of Architects Historical Directory, did not identify additional information on these individuals. As it is a common, purpose-built, property type and style, it is unlikely that it was the work of a master architect or builder. The last portion of Criterion C refers to a district, which is defined as a significant and distinguishable entity whose components may lack individual distinction. The subject property does not contribute to the significance of a potential or existing historic district.

Overall, 9407 Jericho Road lacks sufficient design and construction value to meet NRHP Criterion C or CRHR Criterion 3.

Criterion D/4: [Properties] that have yielded, or may be likely to yield, information important in prehistory or history.

Under NRHP Criterion D and CRHR Criterion 4, 9407 Jericho Road is not significant as a source, or likely source, of important historical information, nor does it appear likely to yield important information about historic construction methods, materials, or technologies. This technology is well understood through contemporary trade journals and scientific monographs. As such, the subject property lacks significance under NRHP Criterion D and CRHR Criterion 4.

City of La Mesa Evaluation

Integrity Considerations
Because9 407 Jericho Road lacks sufficient significance to meet any of the criteria for listing in the NRHP, CRHR, or as a City of La Mesa Historic Landmark, an integrity analysis was considered immaterial. To be eligible for listing in either register, a resource must first meet one or more of the significance criteria outlined above before a determination can be made as to whether the resource retains its historic character and can convey its significance.

Summary of Evaluation Findings
The subject property was evaluated in consideration of NRHP, CRHR, and City of La Mesa criteria and integrity requirements.

As a result of the evaluation, the subject property is recommended not eligible for inclusion in the NRHP, CRHR, or as a City of La Mesa Historic Landmark under all listing criteria due to a lack of significant associations and architectural merit. The subject property is not currently designated or listed under any national, state, or local landmark programs, nor has it been previously identified as eligible for local designation by any historical resource surveys. *B12.

HP-3).

As economical vacant land was consumed by new single-family neighborhoods; rising land costs in the older parts of La Mesa created a demand for higher-density cost-effective housing which, in the 1950s and 1960s, resulted in the development of infill apartment buildings in and around established historic-era neighborhoods. Inconsistent in appearance and form from the preceding historic-era neighborhoods, these infill projects were constructed in a mix of minimal and Modernistic styles, which contributed to the erosion or replacement of some older neighborhoods and buildings. This trend was reversed in the 1970s as citizens of La Mesa initiated historic preservation efforts culminating in the adoption of the city’s inaugural Historic Preservation Program in the mid-1980s, including adoption of the city’s first Historic Preservation Element (City of La Mesa 2012: HP-4).

Post-World War II Tract Housing (1945-1975)
During World War II, manufacturing jobs were abundant in California while housing was lacking, resulting in many workers living in vehicles, tents, and other temporary shelters. Despite the passing of the Lanham Act in 1940, which appropriated $1.3 billion for the construction of 700,000 homes, the War Production Board prohibited non-essential construction during wartime including market-driven housing in 1942. This resulted in an enormous lack of housing, with construction being limited to single-family tracts for industry workers and cheap and quickly built multi-family housing intended to be temporary (Caltrans 2011: 5).

architectural styles employed to design residential properties include Tract Ranch and Contemporary (City of San Diego Planning Department 2007: 40-49)
Ranch Style (1930-1975)
Ranch-style houses in California reflect a national trend of fascination with the “Old West” and were a building style of choice for tract housing. Ranch homes were originally developed in the western and southwestern United States, but quickly gained national popularity through the dissemination of do-it-yourself manuals and plans in national magazines such as Sunset, Better Homes And Gardens, and House Beautiful. Later, Ranch houses were popular as a custom-built type of housing, which was especially common in the later 1940s and 1950s. During the 1940s, the style was one of the few built under FHA financing guidelines. Ranch houses built in the 1940s were smaller in size than later versions after builders lobbied for higher loan limits and FHA guidelines were revised in the 1950s. In the San Diego region examples of the style were abundant as it became the most prevalent type of post-World War II suburban tract-style housing (McAlester 2015: 597; City of San Diego 2007: 70-75).Many Tract Ranch homes were erected as the San Diego region experienced rapid suburban growth in the mid and late 1950s. Tract Ranch homes differ from “Custom Ranch” homes, which were typically single instances, unique designs, and created by an architect for a specific customer. Tract Ranch houses were more conservative in design, offering a limited number of customizable exterior finishes and interior amenities for each residential development. They can come in variations, often called “Styled Ranches,” that include elements and ornamentation that can be placed in the following categories: Storybook/Chalet, Colonial Revival, Contemporary, Spanish Colonial, and Western Ranch style (McAlester 2015:
597; City of San Diego 2007: 70-75; Grimes and Chiang 2009: 44; Horak et.al. 2015: 21-26).

Character-defining features include:
• Rambling, elongated plans with a horizontal emphasis
• One to two stories in height
• Low-pitched gabled or hipped roofs with overhanging, open eaves • General asymmetry
• Cladding featuring stucco, board and batten, shingles, clapboard, or a combination of materials • Brick or stone chimneys details
• Attached garages often linked to residence by breezeways • Stone, brick, board and batten, clapboard, or horizontal wood siding used for accent on walls, secondary cladding types, and planters
• Functional and non-functional shutters details as trim around windows • Fenestration may include a picture window
• May have decorative features such as wood shutters and dovecotes Property History
The single-family residence was constructed in 1970 (City of La Mesa Permit #27721). Prior to its construction, the lot on which it sits was undeveloped. The architect is listed as Leisure Time Homes on the property’s original building permit. Leisure Time Homes were prefabricated kit homes based on several simple floor plans. These residences were advertised by the Douglas Fir Association and were often promoted as vacation homes (Exhibit 1). These plans could be ordered from catalogues, the materials delivered, and the home constructed on-site (Douglas Fir Association 1958: 1). The contractor was listed as Long and Long (City of La Mesa Permit #27721) and Jim Works was the owner/developer. These entities also built

NRHP/CRHR Evaluation
The following section provides an evaluation of the single-family residence at 5880 Amaya Drive under NRHP and CRHR significance criteria and integrity considerations.

Criterion A/1: [Properties] that are associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of our history.

Following World War II's conclusion in 1945, La Mesa's population increased dramatically and the "municipality was soon regarded as one of the fastest growing suburban cities in the San Diego region" (City of La Mesa 2012: HP-3). The singlefamily residence at 5880 Amaya Drive was constructed in 1970, which is near the end of this significant residential development trends in La Mesa. Therefore, it is not directly associated with the post-World War II decades and only has a mere association with La Mesa’s development. However, mere association with a broad trend is not enough to reach the threshold of eligibility. The property is not known to be directly associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the history of the City of La Mesa, California, or the nation. Research also did not identify a significant historical event that occurred at the property. Therefore, 5880 Amaya Drive is not eligible under NRHP Criterion A or CRHR Criterion 1.

Criterion B/2: [Properties] that are associated with the lives of persons significant in our past.

To be found eligible under Criterion B/2, a property must be directly tied to an important person and are generally associated with the productive life of in the field for which he or she is known. The property was originally owned by Jim Works, who also developed 5888 Amaya Drive and 5896 Amaya Drive (City of La Mesa Permit #27721). Research did not identify additional biographical or professional information on Jim Works. Research identified Richard G. and Marisella Rose as occupying the residence from at least 2015 to the present day; however, no additional biographical or professional information on these individuals was identified. It does not appear that these individuals made significant contributions to our past and therefore 5880 Amaya Drive is not eligible under NRHP Criterion B or CRHR Criterion 2.

The subject property is a modest and architecturally undistinguished example of a tract Ranch house built in 1970. . While the property does display character-defining features of the Ranch style (e.g., its horizontal emphasis and one-story height), this is a ubiquitous style applied to residences throughout the neighborhood, La Mesa, San Diego County, and California. Due to its simple form and easy replicability with prefabricated components, the Ranch style was widely applied to houses in the post-World War II decades throughout San Diego County (City of San Diego 2007: 70). The subject property is an unremarkable example of a ubiquitous style and there are many similar examples.

Research did not identify additional information on Jim Works or Long and Long construction, indicating they were not master architects or builders. The last portion of Criterion C refers to a district, and the this property does not contribute to the

significance of a potential or existing historic district. Overall, 5880 Amaya Drive lacks sufficient design and construction value to meet NRHP Criterion C or CRHR Criterion 3.

Criterion D/4: [Properties] that have yielded, or may be likely to yield, information important in prehistory or history.

Under NRHP Criterion D and CRHR Criterion 4, 5880 Amaya Drive is not significant as a source, or likely source, of important historical information, nor does it appear likely to yield important information about historic construction methods, materials, or technologies. This technology is well understood through contemporary trade journals and scientific monographs. As such, the subject property lacks significance under NRHP Criterion D and CRHR Criterion 4.

City of La Mesa Evaluation
A cultural resource may be recommended for designation as a landmark or historic district, if it meets one or more of the following criteria:

A. It exemplifies or reflects special elements of the City's cultural, social, economic, political, aesthetic, engineering, or architectural history.

As discussed under NRHP/CRHR Criteria A/1 and C/3, the subject property does not exemplify or reflect special elements of the City’s cultural, social, economic, political, aesthetic, engineering, or architectural history. The subject property is a Ranch style residence constructed in 1970 as one of many several identical homes developed at the same time. As such, the subject property is recommended not eligible under City of La Mesa Criteria A.

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.

As discussed under NRHP/CRHR Criteria C/3, the subject property is a common Ranch single-family kit home. It is constructed of already well-documented materials and techniques and is not a valuable example of the use of indigenous materials or craftsmanship. As such, the subject property is recommended not eligible under City of La Mesa Criteria C.

D. It is representative of the notable work of an acclaimed builder, designer, or architect.

E. It is identified with a person or persons 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.

As discussed under NRHP/CRHR Criteria C/3, the subject property does not embody elements of outstanding attention to architectural design, detail, materials, or craftsmanship. It is a ubiquitous 1970s Ranch style kit home constructed with already well documented materials. As such, the subject property is recommended not eligible under City of La Mesa Criteria F.

G. It is an archeological or paleontological site which has the potential of yielding information of scientific value.

As discussed under NRHP/CRHR Criteria 3, a geographically definable area possessing a concentration of associated buildings or sites is most applicable to districts. While the subject property is in a neighborhood of houses that were all constructed as tract houses in the same time period, there are many such neighborhoods throughout La Mesa and research did not identify this neighborhood as having significant historical associations. As such, the subject property is recommended not eligible under City of La Mesa Criteria H.

Integrity Considerations
Because 5880 Amaya Drive lacks sufficient significance to meet any of the criteria for listing in the NRHP, CRHR, or as a City of La Mesa Historic Landmark, an integrity analysis was considered immaterial. To be eligible for listing in either register, a resource must first meet one or more of the significance criteria outlined above before a determination can be made as to whether the resource retains its historic character and can convey its significance.

Summary of Evaluation Findings
The subject property was evaluated in consideration of NRHP, CRHR, and City of La Mesa criteria and integrity requirements.

Post-World War II Tract Housing (1945-1975)
During World War II, manufacturing jobs were abundant in California while housing was lacking, resulting in many workers living in vehicles, tents, and other temporary shelters. Despite the passing of the Lanham Act in 1940, which appropriated $1.3 billion for the construction of 700,000 homes, the War Production Board prohibited non-essential construction during wartime including market-driven housing in 1942. This resulted in an enormous lack of housing, with construction being limited to single-family tracts for industry workers and cheap and quickly built multi-family housing intended to be temporary (Caltrans 2011: 5).

architectural styles employed to design residential properties include Tract Ranch and Contemporary (City of San Diego Planning Department 2007: 40-49)
Ranch Style (1930-1975)
Ranch-style houses in California reflect a national trend of fascination with the “Old West” and were a building style of choice for tract housing. Ranch homes were originally developed in the western and southwestern United States, but quickly gained national popularity through the dissemination of do-it-yourself manuals and plans in national magazines such as Sunset, Better Homes And Gardens, and House Beautiful. Later, Ranch houses were popular as a custom-built type of housing, which was especially common in the later 1940s and 1950s. During the 1940s, the style was one of the few built under FHA financing guidelines. Ranch houses built in the 1940s were smaller in size than later versions after builders lobbied for higher loan limits and FHA guidelines were revised in the 1950s. In the San Diego region examples of the style were abundant as it became the most prevalent type of post-World War II suburban tract-style housing (McAlester 2015: 597; City of San Diego 2007: 70-75). Many Tract Ranch homes were erected as the San Diego region experienced rapid suburban growth in the mid and late 1950s. Tract Ranch homes differ from “Custom Ranch” homes, which were typically single instances, unique designs, and created by an architect for a specific customer. Tract Ranch houses were more conservative in design, offering a limited number of customizable exterior finishes and interior amenities for each residential development. They can come in variations, often called “Styled Ranches,” that include elements and ornamentation that can be placed in the following categories: Storybook/Chalet, Colonial Revival, Contemporary, Spanish Colonial, and Western Ranch style (McAlester 2015:
597; City of San Diego 2007: 70-75; Grimes and Chiang 2009: 44; Horak et.al. 2015: 21-26).

Character-defining features include:
• Rambling, elongated plans with a horizontal emphasis
• One to two stories in height
• Low-pitched gabled or hipped roofs with overhanging, open eaves • General asymmetry
• Cladding featuring stucco, board and batten, shingles, clapboard, or a combination of materials • Brick or stone chimneys details
• Attached garages often linked to residence by breezeways • Stone, brick, board and batten, clapboard, or horizontal wood siding used for accent on walls, secondary cladding types, and planters
• Functional and non-functional shutters details as trim around windows • Fenestration may include a picture window
• May have decorative features such as wood shutters and dovecotes Property History
The single-family residence at was constructed in 1970 (City of La Mesa Permit #27721) The architect is listed as Leisure Time Homes on the property’s original building permit. The contractor was listed as Long and Long (City of La Mesa Permit #27721) and Jim Works was the owner/developer. Leisure Time Homes were prefabricated kit homes based on several simple floor plans. These residences were advertised by the Douglas Fir Association and were often promoted as vacation homes (Exhibit 1). These plans could be ordered from catalogues, the materials delivered, and the home constructed on-site (Douglas Fir Association 1958: 1). These entities also built the adjacent single-family residences at 5880 Amaya Drive and 5896 Amaya Drive.

NRHP/CRHR Evaluation
The following section provides an evaluation of the single-family residence at 5888 Amaya Drive under NRHP and CRHR significance criteria and integrity considerations.

Criterion A/1: [Properties] that are associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of our history.

Following the conclusion of WWII in 1945, La Mesa’s population increased dramatically and the "municipality was soon regarded as one of the fastest growing suburban cities in the San Diego region" (City of La Mesa 2012: HP-3). The single-family residence at 5888 Amaya Drive was constructed in 1970,which is near the end of this significant residential development trends in La Mesa.

Therefore, it is not directly associated with the post-World War II decades and only has a mere association with La Mesa’s development. However, mere association with a broad trend is not enough to reach the threshold of eligibility. The property is not known to be directly associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the history of the City of La Mesa, California, or the nation. Research also did not identify a significant historical event that occurred at the property. Therefore, 5888 Amaya Drive is not eligible under NRHP Criterion A or CRHR Criterion 1.

Criterion B/2: [Properties] that are associated with the lives of persons significant in our past.

The subject property was originally owned by Jim Works, who also developed 5880 Amaya Drive and 5896 Amaya Drive (City of La Mesa Permit #27721). Research did not identify additional biographical or professional information on Jim Works.

Subsequent occupants include Dennis Reeve (1974); William Hansen; (1978-1993); D. Jin Inc. (1997); and the Hansen Family Trust (2001-present); however, no additional biographical or professional information on these individuals or entities was identified. It does not appear that these individuals or entities made significant contributions to our past and therefore, 5888 Amaya Drive is not eligible under NRHP Criterion B or CRHR Criterion 2.

The subject property is a modest and architecturally undistinguished example of a tract Ranch house built in 1970. While the property does display character-defining features of the Ranch style (e.g., its horizontal emphasis and one-story height), this is a ubiquitous style applied to residences throughout the neighborhood, La Mesa, San Diego County, and California. Due to its simple form and easy replicability with prefabricated components, the Ranch style was widely applied to houses in the post-World War II decades throughout San Diego County (City of San Diego 2007: 70). The subject property is an unremarkable example of a ubiquitous style and there are many similar examples.

The subject property appears to have been constructed through already well-documented and common construction techniques and methods and does not appear to possess high artistic values by articulating a particular concept of design to the extent that it expresses an aesthetic ideal. Archival research indicated that the property was developed by Jim Works, Leisure Time Homes, and Long and Long Construction. These were also the owner, architect, and contractor for the adjacent residences at 5880 Amaya Drive and 5896 Amaya Drive. Leisure Time Homes were kit homes based on simple standardized plan that could be constructed quickly and easily. These homes were promoted by the Douglas Fir Association (Douglas Fir Association 1958). Research did not identify additional information on Jim Works or Long and Long construction, indicating they were not master architects or builders. The last portion of Criterion C refers to a district, and this property does not

contribute to the significance of a potential or existing historic district. Overall, 5888 Amaya Drive lacks sufficient design and construction value to meet NRHP Criterion C or CRHR Criterion 3.

Criterion D/4: [Properties] that have yielded, or may be likely to yield, information important in prehistory or history.

Under NRHP Criterion D and CRHR Criterion 4, 5888 Amaya Drive is not significant as a source, or likely source, of important historical information, nor does it appear likely to yield important information about historic construction methods, materials, or technologies. This technology is well understood through contemporary trade journals and scientific monographs. As such, the subject property lacks significance under NRHP Criterion D and CRHR Criterion 4.

City of La Mesa Evaluation
A cultural resource may be recommended for designation as a landmark or historic district, if it meets one or more of the following criteria:

A. It exemplifies or reflects special elements of the City's cultural, social, economic, political, aesthetic, engineering, or architectural history.

As discussed under NRHP/CRHR Criteria A/1 and C/3, the subject property does not exemplify or reflect special elements of the City’s cultural, social, economic, political, aesthetic, engineering, or architectural history. The subject property is a Ranch style residence constructed in 1970 as one of several identical homes developed at the same time. As such, the subject property is recommended not eligible under City of La Mesa Criteria A.

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 persons 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.

CONTINUATION SHEET Trinomial
As discussed under NRHP/CRHR Criteria C/3, the subject property does not embody elements of outstanding attention to architectural design, detail, materials, or craftsmanship. It is a ubiquitous 1970s Ranch style kit home constructed with already well documented materials. As such, the subject property is recommended not eligible under City of La Mesa Criteria F.

G. It is an archeological or paleontological site which has the potential of yielding information of scientific value.

As discussed under NRHP/CRHR Criteria 3, a geographically definable area possessing a concentration of associated buildings or sites is most applicable to districts. While the subject property is located in a neighborhood of houses that were all constructed as tract houses in the same time period, there are many such neighborhoods throughout La Mesa and research did not identify this neighborhood as having significant historical associations. As such, the subject property is recommended not eligible under City of La Mesa Criteria H.

Integrity Considerations
Because 5888 Amaya Drive lacks sufficient significance to meet any of the criteria for listing in the NRHP, CRHR, or as a City of La Mesa Historic Landmark, an integrity analysis was considered immaterial. To be eligible for listing in either register, a resource must first meet one or more of the significance criteria outlined above before a determination can be made as to whether the resource retains its historic character and can convey its significance.

Summary of Evaluation Findings
The subject property was evaluated in consideration of NRHP, CRHR, and City of La Mesa criteria and integrity requirements.

The following section provides an evaluation of the single-family residence at 5896 Amaya Drive under NRHP and CRHR significance criteria and integrity considerations.

Criterion A/1: [Properties] that are associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of our history.

Following World War II's conclusion in 1945, La Mesa's population increased dramatically and the "municipality was soon regarded as one of the fastest growing suburban cities in the San Diego region" (City of La Mesa 2012: HP-3). The singlefamily residence at 5896 Amaya Drive was constructed in 1970, which is near the end of this significant residential development trends in La Mesa. Therefore, it is not directly associated with the post-World War II decades and only has a mere association with La Mesa’s development. However, mere association with a broad trend is not enough to reach the threshold of eligibility. The property is not known to be directly associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the history of the City of La Mesa, California, or the nation. Research also did not identify a significant historical event that occurred at the property. Therefore, 5896 Amaya Drive is not eligible under NRHP Criterion A or CRHR Criterion 1.

Criterion B/2: [Properties] that are associated with the lives of persons significant in our past.

The property was originally owned by Jim Works, who appears to have been a developer of tract houses in the neighborhood, including 5880 Amaya Drive and 5888 Amaya Drive and (City of La Mesa Permit #27721). Research did not identify additional biographical or professional information on Jim Works. Research identified Dennis Bishop as occupying the residence in 1976 and Victor H. Acosta occupying the residence from at least 2021 to the present day; however, no biographical or professional information on these individuals was identified. It does not appear that these individuals made significant contributions to our past and therefore 5896 Amaya Drive is not eligible under NRHP Criterion B or CRHR Criterion 2.

The subject property appears to have been constructed through already well-documented and common construction techniques and methods and does not appear to possess high artistic values by articulating a particular concept of design to the extent that it expresses an aesthetic ideal. Archival research indicated that the property was developed by Jim Works, Leisure Time Homes, and Long and Long Construction. These were also the owner, architect, and contractor for Map ID 2:
5880 Amaya Drive and Map ID 3: 5888 Amaya Drive. Leisure Time Homes were kit homes based on simple standardized plan that could be constructed quickly and easily. These homes were promoted by the Douglas Fir Association (Douglas Fir Association 1958). Research did not identify additional information on Jim Works or Long and Long construction, indicating they were not master architects or builders. The last portion of Criterion C refers to a district, which is defined as a significant and distinguishable entity whose components may lack individual distinction. The subject property does not contribute to the

significance of a potential or existing historic district. Overall, 5896 Amaya Drive lacks sufficient design and construction value to meet NRHP Criterion C or CRHR Criterion 3.
