PLANNING CASE DP-2024-00577 (HD) – 2365 ELEVENTH STREET, WARD 1
1. Proposal by Valerie Silva to consider a Historic Designation request for designation of the Okubo Residence as a City Landmark. The property is located at 2365 Eleventh Street, on the north side of Eleventh Street between Sedgwick and Eucalyptus Avenues, in Ward 1. The Community & Economic Development Department recommends that the Cultural Heritage Board recommend that the City Council determine that this proposal is exempt fr om the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), pursuant to Sections 15061(b)(3) (Common Sense Rule) and 15308 (Actions by Regulatory Agencies for Protection of t he Environment), as this proposal will not have a significant effect on the environment and will preserve the historic character of a cultural resource and provide notice of the resource’s historic status. Mr. Watson presented the staff report. Valerie Silva stated they were in agreement with the historic designation. There was one public comment . Following discussion it was moved by Chair Gamble and seconded by Board Member Hudson to recommend that the City Council 1) Determine that this proposal is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), pursuant to Sections 15061(b)(3) (Common Sense Rule) and 15308 (Actions by Regulatory Agencies for Protection of the Environment); and 2) Approve Planning Case DP-2024-00577 (Historic Designation), based on the facts of findings, and designate the Okubo Residence as a City Landmark.
