Recommendation to declare ordinance amending the Long Beach Municipal Code by adding Section 16.52.2310 relating to the designation of the Ferguson House located at 1500 East 1st Street as a Local Historic Landmark, read and adopted as read.  (District 2)
Motion carries. Thank you. Now we'll go to hearing number two. Report from Development Services recommendation received supporting documentation under the record, conclude the public hearing. Declare ordinances amending the Long Beach Municipal Code by adding section relating to the designation of four properties located at 1500 East First Street 5281 East El-Arabi Street 3200 East First Street and 3735 Pine Avenue. As historic landmarks read the first time and lead over to the next regular meeting of the City Council for Final Reading and adopt resolutions establishing a landmark designation for the four properties districts two, three and seven. There will be four votes required for this item. One for each address. Thank you. I'd like to say hello to Mrs. Garner at this point. Thank you, Vice Mayor. The staff report will be presented by Linda Tatum, director of Development Services, and Christopher Coons, Planning Bureau manager. And we will introduce our historic preservation planner, Mr. Alejandro Placentia, to make this that presentation. Thank you. So tonight's request involves the historic landmark designation of four different properties that we have throughout the city of Long Beach. Four of those addresses are 1500 East First Street, 3200 East First Street, 5281 East L Roebling Street and 3735 Pine Avenue. So the timeline here, the application for 1500 East First Street actually started last year. But this is sort of a winding process to get through this. The other three applications add on 3200 days. First Street and Robles and Pine Avenue were actually filed in February of this year and went through the Mills Act process and that's how they came before Development Services. As part of this process, the Cultural Heritage Commission holds hearings for each of these properties. They evaluate each of the individual properties. And in this in this case, they found that these four properties meet the criteria for landmark designation pursuant to the Cultural Heritage Ordinance here in the city of Long Beach. That commission, the Cultural Heritage Commission, made their recommendation to the City Council to approve those based on their independent evaluation. That. This. This is in order to qualify for landmark status, at least one of the following criteria needs to be found in the affirmative. So we have four criteria out of these. At least one of them needs to be found. Criterion A is specific to the association with the city's history. Criterion B is having a specific association with significant people in the city's history. And Criterion C is probably the one that we use most that relates to architecture and craftsmanship associated with the building. And last one criterion D is really associated with pre-history and archeology. So we'll just run you through the applications that we had here. The first property for consideration is located at 1500 East First Street. The CHC made two findings of approval for this. One, just finding a that the building's construction during the early 20th century is that a great association to the expansion period and the contribution of the broad patterns of the city. Finding C recognizes that the building is unique and an excellent example of a two story craftsman building. This one is particularly unique for its Japanese influence, and those are noted in the roof eaves and the roof ridge here. 3200 East First Street. That one is. The commission made two findings finding a and finding see the first one for city history as well as finding C for architecture. Item number three is a really unique property here. This is an art. That's the building designed by a famous architect, John Lautner. This is the only Lautner designed building that we have here in the city. The very last one at 3735 Pine Avenue is significant for its association with an important architect, Paul Taylor, and also for its mid-century architecture as well. With that. We have a recommendation to approve this these items tonight. Thank you. Fine, thank you. We have a mr. Good here. You're going to speak on this all. Okay. We'll call him in the diocese. Councilman Pierce. I can't tell you whether. Fine. Okay. One. Would you please call the vote? For the property at 1500 East First Street. Please cast your vote. You have three votes. Honestly? Well.
