Body
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Board of Supervisors:
Approve the application from UCP East Garrison, LLC to add the East Garrison Chapel to the County's Local Official Register of Historic Resources, as recommended by the County's Historic Resources Review Board.
SUMMARY/DISCUSSION
The County's Historic Resources Review Board has reviewed the application submitted by UCP East Garrison, LLC, and recommends that the application to add the East Garrison Chapel to the County's Local Official Register of Historic Resources be approved. The East Garrison Chapel is located at East Garrison, Ft. Ord (APN 031-164-122) and the property owner UCP East Garrison, LLC has agreed to comply with Chapter 18.25 of the Monterey County Code.
Having considered all the written and documentary information submitted, oral testimony, and other evidence presented before the HRRB, the HRRB rendered its decision to adopt the findings and evidence to recommend approval of the application for historic designation, subject to the following findings:
Finding: The proposed designation of the East Garrison Chapel meets one or more of the review criteria set forth in Chapter 18.25.070 of the Monterey County Code specifically:
1. The resource proposed for designation is representative of a distinct historical period.
2. The resource proposed for designation is associated with events that have made a meaningful contribution to the nation, state or community.
Evidence: 1. Application and other materials in file 1201 (East Garrison Chapel).
2. Historic Resource designation criteria as found in Chapter 18.25 of the
Monterey County Code.
3. Oral testimony and HRRB discussion during the public hearing and the
administrative record.
The East Garrison Chapel listing in the County's Historic Register would require the property owner to comply with Chapter 18.25 of the Monterey County Code that requires that the County's Historic Resources Review Board review and approve any proposal to alter the exterior of the structure prior to issuance of a building permit. The applicant requests this action and consents to the restrictions placed on the property under Chapter 18.25.
