OF ORI)INANCE August 19, 2010 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Introduced by Seconded by David Glass Mike Harris APPROVAL OF DESIGNATION OF THE BURDELL BUILDING AT 405 EAST D STREET AS A LOCAL HISTORIC LANDMARK APN 007-132-033 City File Number. 09-SPC-0159-CR WHEREAS, on August 25, 2009, the City of Petaluma's Historic and Cultural Preservation Committee (Committee) initiated the designation of the Burdell Building at 405 East D Street, APN 007-132-033, (Burdell Building) as a local landmark as a condition of approval of proposed exterior and site plan modifications for the property; and, WHEREAS on May 25, 2010, the Committee held a duly noticed public hearing and considered the proposed landmark designation; and, WHEREAS on May 25, 2010, the Committee adopted Committee Resolution No. 2010-O1, recommending that the City Council designate the Burdell Building at 405 East D Street, as a local landmark; and, WHEREAS on July 12, 2010, the City of Petaluma City Council held a duly noticed public hearing and considered the proposed landmark designation. NOW THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PETALUMA AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Desiqnation as Local Landmark. The City Council hereby designates the Burdell Building at 405 East D Street (the Project), APN 007-132-033, as a local historic landmark, based on the following determinations: A. Designation of the Burdell Building as a local landmark is consistent with the Petaluma General Plan 2025, including the following objectives, policies, and programs: 0 3-P-1(Goal): Identify, recognize, and protect Petaluma's unique and irreplaceable cultural heritage. m 3-P-1 E: Require and/or encourage designation of local landmarks. B. Designation of the Burdelt Building as a local landmark will further the historic preservation objectives of Chapter 15 of the Implementing Zoning Ordinance (IZO) in that it will serve to promote the health, safety, and general welfare of the public through the protection and perpetuation of a building that is a reminder of past eras, events, and persons important to local history and which provides a significant example of an architectural Ordinance No. 2381 N.C.S. Page 1 style of the past by ensuring that the Burdell Building is subject to the historic preservation controls and standards in said Chapter. C. The Historic Resource Report prepared by Diana Painter of Painter Preservation and Planning (revised date October 2008) (Report), supports eligibility of the Burdell Building for listing on Petaluma's historic register as a local landmark. The building's Lakeville front is largely intact or has been renovated in a consistent manner; thus, the public face of the building retains architectural integrity. The Report finds the Burdell building eligible for listing under California Register Criterion 1 for its association with important patterns of local history and under California Register Criterion 2 for its association with James B. Burdell, Sr. The Report finds that locally listing the building is appropriate as the building maintains its most important character-defining elements, particularly on the public facades and continues to be an impor1ant presence in the city today. The building retains integrity of locations, setting, materials, and workmanship. D. The characteristics of the landmark which justify its designation are as follows: 1. The building's association with important patterns of local history. It was sited in the then industrial heart of the city, where goods were manufactured and shipped via railroad to supply San Francisco. It was a hub of both the pou~try and dairy industries. It was the first local creamery and had a large capacity, including the ability to produce 20,000 pounds of butter a day. It was the first Petaluma cold storage facility; it kept eggs, milk, butter, and cheese fresh while awaiting transport. It distilled water and included an ice manufacturing room, capable of producing 5 tons of ice a day, reportedly, making Petaluma independent of Alaska for ice in the summer months. It also produced Petaluma's electricity between 1897 and 1907. 2. The building's association with James B. Burdell, Sr. It is tied to the settlement of the region through the Burdell family's association with Rancho Olompali and is a major built reminder of James B. Burdell, Sr.'s legacy in Sonoma and Marin Counties (along with the mansion at Olompali and the Novato Bank). 3. The public face of the building retains architectural integrity. The building's Lakeville front is largely intact or has been renovated in a consistent manner. The Lakeville fa~ade still maintains its most important character-defining elements, particularly on the public facades and continues to be an important presence in the city today. Aspects of the building still read and convey its significance as an industrial structure; from the public facades the building still consists of a large, linear structure with gable roof with close eaves and regularly spaced ventilators at the ridgeline. 4. The building retains integrity of location, setting, materials, and workmanship. E. The particular features of the landmark which are to be preserved are: 1. The overall building form, particularly as viewed from the intersection of Lakeville and East D Streets and from the public facades, which still consists of a large, linear structure with gable roof with close eaves and regularly spaced ventilators at the ridgeline 2. The brick masonry of the building and corrugated metal roofing materials 3. The overall repetitive pattern of the windows within the articulated bays 4. The profile of the building ridge with its metal ventilqtors 5. The portico along Lakeville Street and the prominent gable end, which will in the future have a round feature much like it originally had 6. The remains of the painted signs on the two gable ends 7. The shallow-arched window and door openings and the wood-frame, four-over-four- light windows Ordinance No. 2381 N.C.S. Page 2 8. The shallow pilasters and corbelled frieze band that define the building bays F. The location of the landmark site is 405 East D Street; the boundaries of the landmark site consist of assessor's parcel number 007-132-033 (a 176 by 331 foot parcel). Section 2. Recordation of Designation.
