WHEREAS, a staff report dated September 22, 2015 described and analyzed the request and

WHEREAS, the proposed demolition was reviewed by the Historic and Cultural Preservation
Committee at a duly noticed public hearing on September 22, 2015 in accordance with the City of
Petaluma Implementing Zoning Ordinance §24.010.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF PETALUMA AS
FOLLOWS:
Based on the staff report, the historic evaluation and all other information in the record, the
Historic and Cultural Preservation Committee hereby finds that the residence at 405 East D Street is not
historically or culturally significant and authorizes demolition of the building, based on the recitals
above, the findings made below, and subject to conditions of approval attached as Exhibit A hereto
and incorporated herein by reference:
1. The residence at 405 East D Street is not located in a designated historic district and is not listed
on a local, state, or national register or survey;

residence at 405 East D Street does not appear eligible for listing on a local, state, or national
register or survey.
HCPC Resolution No. 2015-03 Page 1
3. The residence at 405 East D Street does not qualify as a historic resource (national, state or local)
since it has been "heavily modified" since its original construction sometime between 1915 and
1919 and, therefore, would qualify under the "Finding of No Significance" at Implementing
Zoning Ordinance § 15.060(6) (1) .
4. The demolition of the residence at 405 East D Street will not be detrimental to the aesthetic or
economic vitality of the community as the house as has been heavily modified since original
construction and, as a result, does not contribute significantly to either the aesthetic or
economic vitality of the community.
5. The project was reviewed pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and is
determined to be categorically exempt pursuant to CEQA Guidelines § 15301 (Existing Facilities)
since the request concerns the demolition of a single family residence and was further
determined the request was not be subject to CEQA Guidelines 15300.2(f) pertaining to
exceptions related to cultural or historical resources.
