WHEREAS, in Planning Case No. DP -2022-01381, Jana Chaney filed an application to designate the property known as the Old Martin Hoover House, located at 3642 Hoover Street, in the City of Riverside, California , as more pa rticularly described and depicted in Exhibit “A” attached hereto incorporated herein by reference, as a City of Riverside Structure of Merit; and WHEREAS, on March 15, 2023, the Cultural Heritage Board of the City of Riverside conducted a duly noticed public hearing on said applicat ion and recommended the approval of the designation of a City of Riverside Structure of Merit for the Old Martin Hoover House; and WHEREAS, all legal prerequisites to the adoption of this application have been met.

District 2; therefore, Hoover is rec ognized as a person of significance in local history. The residence was relocated from Magnolia Avenue to Hoover Street (then Robusta Street) in circa 1914, within the original boundary of the original 20-acre parcel. Due to the relocation and vari ous alterations, the residence does not retain the high degree of integrity required for City Landmark designation. As the residence is still situated with the original parcel boundary owned by Hoover and exhibits the overall character of a Folk Victoria grove house, the residence retains sufficient integrity of Structure of Merit designation.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT pursuant to Title 20 of the Riverside Municipal Code, the City Council hereby approves the above -referenced application and designate s the Old Martin Hoover House, as City Structure of Merit #1006.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT the proposed historic Structure of Merit designation is exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to Sections 15061(b)(3) and 15308 of the Guidelines for Implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act (Title 14, California Code of Regulations, commencing with Section 15000) as it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity will have a significant eff ect on the environment, and said action is intended to preserve the historic character of the building and site.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT the City Clerk of the City of Riverside shall cause a certified copy of this resolution to be recorded in the Offic e of the County Recorder of Riverside County, California.
ADOPTED by the City Council this ________ day of _____________________, 2023.
