NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Pomona as follows:
SECTION 1. The City Council determines that the approval of the single historic landmark designation request (SHISTORIC 000606-2024) for the property located at 290 Heritage Court is not defined as a project per CEQA. Section 15060 of the Guidelines exempts actions from CEQA that would not result in either an indirect or direct impact on the environment and that do not meet the Section 15378(a) definition of a project. Section 15378(a) defines a project as one that has the potential for resulting in a physical change to the environment. No physical change to the environment is anticipated with the historic landmark designation.
SECTION 2. The City Council hereby finds and determines that the application requesting historic landmark designation (SHISTORIC 000606-2024) for the property located at 290 Heritage Court provides sufficient documentation and information to meet designation criterion No. 1, as follows:
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; Though relocated to the City of Pomona in 1993, the property contains distinctive characteristics of a 1910s Craftsman Bungalow. Craftsman Bungalows began to make their appearance in architecture in the early 1900s and are noted as an indigenous California version of the American Arts and Crafts movement, incorporating Southern California’s unique qualities. The property exemplifies the Craftsman Bungalow architectural style and is characterized by its earth-toned paint colors, large roof overhangs, rafters, wide front door, wide front porch with heavy porch piers, river rock foundation, and uniquely features the distinct exterior wood shingle siding.
SECTION 3. Based on the above findings, the City Council hereby approves single historic landmark designation request (000606-2024) for the property located at 290 Heritage Court and directs the Development Services Department, Planning Division to add it to the Pomona Local Landmark List.
SECTION 4. The City Clerk shall attest and certify to the passage and adoption of this Resolution, and it shall become effective immediately upon its approval.
PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED this 21st day of October, 2024.
