• California Public Resources Code Section 21083.2(g) defines "unique archaeological
resource."
• California Public Resources Code Section 21084.1 and CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.5(a)
define "historical resources." In addition, CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.5(b) defines the
phrase "substantial adverse change in the significance of an historical resource." It also
defines the circumstances when a project would materially impair the significance of an
historical resource.
• California Public Resources Code Section 21074(a) defines "tribal cultural resources."
• California Public Resources Code Section 5097.98 and CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.5(e) set

provide information regarding the mitigation framework for archaeological and historic
resources, including examples of preservation-in-place mitigation measures; preservation-in-
place is the preferred manner of mitigating impacts to significant archaeological sites because
it maintains the relationship between artifacts and the archaeological context and may also
help avoid conflict with religious or cultural values of groups associated with the archaeological
site(s).
More specifically, under CEQA, a project may have a significant effect on the environment if it may
cause "a substantial adverse change in the significance of an historical resource" (California Public
Resources Code Section 21084.1; CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.S(b).) If a site is either listed or
eligible for listing in the CRHR, or if it is included in a local register of historic resources or identified
as significant in a historical resources survey (meeting the requirements of California Public Resources
Code Section 5024.l(q)), it is a "historical resource" and is presumed to be historically or culturally
significant for purposes of CEQA (California Public Resources Code Section 21084.1; CEQA Guidelines
Section 15064.5(a)). The lead agency is not precluded from determining that a resource is a historical
resource even if it does not fall within this presumption (California Public Resources Code Section
21084.1; CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.5(a)).
A "substantial adverse change in the significance of an historical resource" reflecting a significant effect
under CEQA means "physical demolition, destruction, relocation, or alteration of the resource or its
immediate surroundings such that the significance of an historical resource would be materially
impaired" (CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.5(b)(l); California Public Resources Code Section 5020.l(q)).
In turn, CEQA Guidelines section 15064.5(b)(2) states the significance of an historical resource is
materially impaired when a project:
1. Demolishes or materially alters in an adverse manner those physical characteristics of an
historical resource that convey its historical significance and that justify its inclusion in, or
eligibility for, inclusion in the California Register of Historical Resources; or

A historic resource may be considered and approved by council for inclusion in the historic resources
inventory based on one or more of the following:
A. It exemplifies or reflects special elements of the city's cultural, social, economic, political,
aesthetic, engineering or architectural history; or
B. It is identified with persons or events significant in local, state or national history; or
C. It embodies distinctive characteristics of a style, type, period or method of construction, is
a valuable example of the use of indigenous materials or craftsmanship or is representative
of a notable work of an acclaimed builder, designer or architect; or
D. It is an archaeological, paleontological, botanical, geological, topographical, ecological or
geographical site which has the potential of yielding information of scientific value; or
E. It is a geographically definable area with a concentration of buildings, structures,
improvements, or objects linked historically through location, design, setting, materials,
workmanship, feeling and/or association, in which the collective value of the improvements
may be greater than the value of each individual improvement. (Ord. NS-433 § 3, 1997;
Ord. NS-141 § 5, 1991; Ord. 9776 § 1, 1985).
Arts, History, Culture, and Education Element of the General Plan
The Arts, History, Culture, and Education Element of the City's General Plan recognizes that an aesthetic
environment and connections to culture and education are essential characteristics of a community
that values its quality of life and wishes to be seen by its residents, neighbors and visitors as an
attractive and desirable place, addressing the needs of the human spirit. This element is intended to
enhance availability and accessibility of the arts for all residents, preservation of the important historic
and cultural elements that make Carlsbad unique, and educational opportunities for lifelong learning.
The following goal and policies regard the protection of historic resources in the City of Carlsbad:
Goals
• 7-G.1. Recognize, protect, preserve, and enhance the city's diverse heritage.
• 7-G.2. Make Carlsbad's history more visible and accessible to residents and visitors.
Policies
• 7-P.1. Prepare an updated inventory of historic resources in Carlsbad, with recommendations
for specific properties and districts to be designated in national, state, and local registries, if
determined appropriate and with agreement of the property owners.

By the 1950s, growing dissatisfaction among residents with the San Diego County's administration of
Carlsbad led to serious talks of a vote on incorporation. These talks came to a head when a fire
destroyed a local family's home after multiple attempts by locals to call on State and County fire
services for assistance only to discover that there were no nearby fire hydrants to put out the fire. After
a failed attempt to annex to the City of Oceanside, the idea of incorporation began to gain steam.
Incorporation was not favored by rural residents and farmers, who believed it meant eliminating
farmers in favor of subdivisions and increased development. On June 4, 1952, residents of Carlsbad
voted to incorporate (Gutierrez 2002).
The first big issue to tackle following incorporation was the lack of a reliable local water supply. In
1945, construction finally began on the San Diego Aqueduct, which would bring Metropolitan Water
District of Southern California water from the Colorado River Aqueduct at the San Jacinto Tunnel to
the San Vicente Reservoir. Despite issues and delays, the project was completed and water from the
Colorado River flowed into the San Vicente Reservoir for the first time in late November 1947, and the
San Diego Aqueduct was dedicated in December of 1947. In 1956, a bond passed to finance
construction of a pipeline that would connect with the San Diego Aqueduct, with the newly established
Carlsbad Municipal Water District covering over 30,000 acres. By 1958, the pipelines were connected
to the aqueduct, providing the area with a reliable source of clean water and increasing land values.
Still, complaints remained regarding a lack of street lighting, zoning issues, lack of proper sewage
disposal services, dilapidated housing, street flooding, and the lack of a freeway underpass at Chestnut.
These issues set the 1960s up to be a decade of civic improvements in Carlsbad (Gutierrez 2002).
The 1960s in Carlsbad is primarily characterized by the construction of civic buildings including a new
sewage plant at Encina (construction throughout the 1960s), the Georgina Cole Library (1967), and the
City Hall and Police Department complex (1968); downtown street improvements (throughout the
1960s); as well as expansion of the City's geographical border through a series of land annexations
that increased Carlsbad's city area from 7.5 to 11.3 square miles. However, the 1960s also included a
residential development boom when one of the largest developers, Kamar Construction Company,
began construction on numerous residential subdivisions in Carlsbad including Falcon Hills, Tamarack
Manor, and Holiday Manor. The residential boom had a devastating effect on the flower industry in
Carlsbad, which was once considered the City's largest employer. Increases in taxes on agricultural land
became too much for some farmers to bear, and gradually the Carlsbad flower fields succumbed to
new development.
The 1970s through 1990s saw exponential growth in Carlsbad. Some of this growth was facilitated by
the City enlarging its boundaries when it annexed La Costa and Carrillo Ranch, increasing the City's
land by an additional 5,485 acres in 1972. The City continued to annex pieces of land and by 1985 it
annexed Batiquitos Lagoon, Ponto Beach, La Costa, Green Valley, areas around the Palomar Airport,
and land east of El Camino Real. With more land annexations came a larger population and more
demand, leading to construction of more civic buildings. By 1985, the downtown area was beginning

5 Significance Evaluation
The following provides a detailed description of the subject property and an evaluation of its historical
significance in consideration of CRHR and City of Carlsbad designation criteria and integrity
requirements. A State of California Department of Parks and Recreation Series 523 form set (DPR
forms) for the subject property is provided in Appendix B.
5.1 3215-3225 Tyler Street
5.1.1 Property Description
The subject property originally consisted of two single-family residences (3215 Tyler Street and 3225
Tyler Street) (Exhibits 2 and 6). The two residences are now one continuous multi-family residence,
connected by the rectangular addition at the rear of the property (Exhibit 3). (Exhibit 8). All buildings
on the property are concentrated along the rear (south) end of the parcel and are oriented to face
Tyler Street. The remainder of the subject property features concrete pathways and paved and dirt
surfaces (Exhibits 2, 6, 7, 8 and 9). The property is further defined by a large dirt storage area enclosed
by chain link fence located in front of the residences (Figure 2). While the property now presents as
one continuous building, there are two distinct sections which are identified in the following
description as the 3215 section and the 3225 section.
The 3215 section of the subject property consists of a one-story residence with an irregular floor plan.
It is capped by a side-gabled roof clad in composition shingles. The exterior is clad with horizontal
wood siding. The main entry point was enclosed at an unknown date and now projects from the central
plane of the main (northeast) elevation. There is a wood paneled door with diamond shaped glazing
that provides entry to the residence. Flanking the main entrance are two vinyl sash sliding windows
framed with wood surrounds (Exhibits 2 and 4). There is a carport projecting from the northwest
elevation (Exhibit 2). The southeast elevation features irregular fenestration and vinyl sash windows
(Exhibit 3). The rear (southwest) elevation features two rear additions one of which is the rectangular
addition that connects it to the 3225 section of the property (Exhibits 3 and 5).

5.1.2 Application of CRHR and City Designation Criteria
The following provides an evaluation of the subject property in consideration of CRHR and City of
Carlsbad designation criteria. Given the similarities in the criteria of these programs, the criteria are
addressed together to avoid duplicative text.
CRHR Criterion 1. Is associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the
broad patterns of California's history and cultural heritage.
City Criterion A. It exemplifies or reflects special elements of the city's cultural, social, economic,
political, aesthetic, engineering or architectural history.
Development of the subject property began circa 1953 with the construction of the first residential
building. During this time Carlsbad was experiencing a residential construction boom. The State of
California and the nation were also experiencing an increase in residential development following
World War II. Residential construction in Carlsbad was dominated by Kamar Construction Company,
one of the area's largest developers who constructed numerous residential subdivisions in Carlsbad
including Falcon Hills, Tamarack Manor, and Holiday Manor. While the subject property is a residential
property that was built during a national and local housing boom, it is it not associated with Kamar
Construction Company and has no strong connection to the national movement, and instead exists as
an independent construction. Further, the extensive exterior alterations made to the property over
time, including significant changes to its original design, workmanship, materials, and setting have
impaired its ability to reflect the period in which it was constructed. Therefore, the subject property is
not eligible under CRHR Criterion 1 or City Criterion A.
CRHR Criterion 2. Is associated with the lives of persons important in our past.
City Criterion B. It is identified with persons or events significant in local, state or national
history.
The subject property was a single-family residential property that was converted to a multi-family
property. Throughout its history, the buildings had several owners and residents. Archival research
failed to indicate that any of these individuals or businesses are associated with events significant in
the history of Carlsbad, the state, or the nation. Therefore, the subject property is not eligible under
CRHR Criterion 2 or City Criterion B.
■ } I \vril '0: I
,l1;,,11c1I \qly,1,
'![,-')', T, -;' ':,_1 I
CRHR Criterion 3. Embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, region, or method
of construction, or represents the work of an important creative individual, or possesses high
artistic values.
City Criterion C. It embodies distinctive characteristics of a style, type, period or method of
construction, is a valuable example of the use of indigenous materials or craftsmanship or is
representative of a notable work of an acclaimed builder, designer or architect.
The subject property was constructed as a modest, single-family residence circa 1953. Based on
archival research, the building remained a single-family residence until a second residence was
constructed circa 1964. While the buildings on the property may have been constructed in a specific
architectural style, there is no longer any discernible architectural style, as numerous character-
defining features have been altered or lost. Alterations on both buildings include replacement of
windows and doors, room additions, carport constructions, and the physical connection of both
residences. The alterations have resulted in the subject property being unrecognizable to a particular
style or period of development with few elements of the original design, materials, and craftsmanship
remaining. In summary, these alterations inhibit the subject property's ability to convey significance as
an early 1950s, 1960s residential property. Furthermore, the property is not known to be the work of
an acclaimed builder, designer, or architect. Therefore, the subject property is not eligible under CRHR
Criterion 3 or City Criterion C.
CRHR Criterion 4. Has yielded, or may be likely to yield, information important in prehistory or
history.
City Criterion D. It is an archaeological, paleontological, botanical, geological, topographical,
ecological or geographical site which has the potential of yielding information of scientific
value.
The subject property is not significant as a source, or likely source, of important historical information
nor does it appear likely to yield important information about historic construction methods, materials
or technologies. Therefore, the property is not eligible under CRHR Criterion 4 or City Criterion D.
City Criterion E. It is a geographically definable area with a concentration of buildings,
structures, improvements, or objects linked historically through location, design, setting,
materials, workmanship, feeling and/or association, in which the collective value of the
improvements may be greater than the value of each individual improvement.
The block on which the subject property is located exhibits properties from various decades, creating
a wide variety of architectural forms and styles of various scale throughout the area. Thus, creating an
overall lack of architectural/visual cohesion. In addition, Tyler Street is a mixture of residential,
commercial, and industrial buildings. The buildings on the block are not united in any specific style,
■ )7 '-\pril 2fl2 l
Hi ,ll•r"i, ,ii /\11111;i-;
_; J l:, J '2', Tvl.-,, Su 't
period, or theme. Therefore, there is no potential for the subject property to contribute to a historic
district and the subject property is not eligible under City Criterion E.
5.1.3 Integrity Discussion
Integrity is the authenticity of a historical resource's physical identity evidenced by the survival of
characteristics that existed during the resource's period of significance. Historical resources eligible for
listing in the CRHR must meet one of the designation criteria and retain enough of their historic
character or appearance to be recognizable as historical resources and to convey the reasons for their
significance. Integrity is evaluated with regard to the retention of location, design, setting, materials,
workmanship, feeling, and association. It must also be judged with reference to the particular criteria
under which a resource is proposed for eligibility (OHP 2011).
Location: The subject property retains integrity of location. The property is sited on the original
location it was constructed in its original orientation.
Design: The subject property lacks integrity of design. It was designed as a single-family residential
property and was converted into multi-family property. Alterations, including the replacement of
doors, windows, modification of buildings including physically connecting both residences, and the
addition of a large carport, have all obscured the original design.
Setting: The subject property lacks integrity of setting. When the building was constructed, most of
the surrounding developments included small, single-family homes and agricultural lots. All adjacent
properties on the block have been modified to commercial, industrial, or high-density residential
developments. The building itself has been converted from single-family to multi-family residential
use.
Materials: The subject property lacks integrity of materials. Alterations including the replacement of
doors, windows, replacement stucco cladding, addition of a carport, and addition of buildings on the
property have resulted in a loss of nearly all original materials.
Workmanship: The subject property lacks integrity of workmanship. The substantial alterations have
obscured the original workmanship, however simple.
Feeling: The subject property lacks integrity of feeling. Its conversion from a single-family to a multi-
family residential property and the substantial alterations to its design and materials have
compromised its integrity of feeling.
Association: The subject property lacks integrity of association. The property has no important
associations with events, people, or important patterns of development in the City.

RECENT PROJECT EXPERIENCE
National Register of Historic Places Nomination, East Los Angeles Chicano Student Walkouts
(Blowouts) (2023). South Environmental was retained by Sapphos Environmental, Inc. to prepare a
National Register Nomination form and Multiple Property Documentation Form for the five main high
schools and El Piranya Cafe directly associated with the planning and execution of East Los Angeles
Chicano Student Walkouts of 1968. The five high schools included were James A Garfield, Theodore
Roosevelt, Abraham Lincoln, Belmont, and Woodrow Wilson. The East Los Angeles Chicano Student
Walkouts (Blowouts) were a series of protests in 1968 where more than 15,000 school students walked
out of class to demonstrate against the Los Angeles Board of Education due to unequal conditions in high
schools. According to the Library of Congress, Mexican American students experienced a 60% dropout
rate from high school, and those who did graduate averaged the reading level of an 8th grade Anglo
student. The prejudices and inequalities in education culminated in students, teachers, parents, and
activists organizing what would ultimately come to be known as the Walkouts. Ms. Carias served as co-
author of the nomination.
Historic-Era Built Environmental Survey Report for SCE Sespe Creek Pole Replacement Project and
Overhead Modification Project, Ventura County (2023). South Environmental was retained by
Environmental Intelligence LLC, to complete a Historic-Era Built Environment Survey Report for the
Southern California Edison (SCE) Sespe Creek Pole Replacement Project (proposed project) located in
Ventura County, California. The report included the results of an intensive-level pedestrian survey of all
built environmental resources over 50 years old within the project's Area of Potential Effect (APE) by a
qualified architectural historian; building development and archival research; and recordation and
evaluation of the idle Saugus-Fillmore-Santa Clara-Wakefield 66kV subtransmission line, a Quonset hut,
and a single-family residence for historical significance in consideration of federal, state, and local
designation criteria and integrity requirements. The report was prepared in conformance with Section 106
of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) and its implementing regulation Title 36 Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) Part 800, the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Section 15064.5 for historical
resources, and in consideration of all applicable local guidelines and regulations concerning cultural
resources. In conclusion, no historic properties/historical resources were identified within the project APE.
Therefore, with respect to historic built environment resources, the proposed project would have no
adverse effect on historic properties under Section 106 of the NHPA and a less than significant impact on
historical resources under CEQA. Ms. Carias performed the site visit and served as co-author of the report.
Cultural Resources Technical Report for Colton Truck and Trailer Repair Project, City of Colton,
California (2023). South Environmental was retained by EcoTierra Consulting to complete a cultural
resources technical report for the Colton Truck and Trailer Repair Project (Project) located in the City of
Colton, California. This study includes the results of a California Historical Resources Information Center
(CHRIS) records search of the Project site and a 0.5-mile radius; a paleontological records search of the
Project site; an intensive pedestrian survey of the Project site by a qualified archaeologist and architectural
historian; building development and archival research; and recordation and evaluation of the industrial
property at 790 E. M Street for historical significance and integrity in consideration of California Register
of Historical Resources (CRHR) and City of Colton designation criteria. This report was prepared in
conformance with California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15064.5 for historical
resources. No historical resources were identified within the project site as a result of this study. Therefore,
with respect to built environment resources, the proposed project will have a less than significant impact
on historical resources under CEQA. Ms. Carias served as senior architectural historian and author for the
report.

PROJECT EXPERIENCE
Historical Resources Research Report for 2125 5th Avenue, City of San Diego, California (2023).
South Environmental was retained by the owner of 2125 5th Avenue to prepare a Historical Resources
Research Report for a 1920s apartment building located at 2125 5th Avenue. This report included an
intensive-level pedestrian survey of the building, site development and archival research, and recordation
and evaluation of the building for historical significance in consideration of the NRHP, CRHR and the City
of San Diego designation criteria and integrity requirements. As a result of the significance evaluation,
2125 5th Avenue was found eligible under City of San Diego Criterion C for embodying the distinctive
characteristics and being an excellent example of the Mission Revival style with a period of significance
from 1924-1928. In addition, the building also represents the early twentieth century apartment building
property type in the Uptown planning area of San Diego. The property was also found significant under
City of San Diego Criterion D for being designed by Master Architect Louis J. Gill during the early years of
his solo career. The building was found to be representative of Gill's work in San Diego and an excellent
example of his design style. For these reasons, the property is also eligible under NRHP and CRHR Criteria
C/3. Ms. Corder served as the principal architectural historian for the project and provided QA/QC for the
project deliverables.
Historical Analysis for 315 Olive Avenue, City of Carlsbad, California (2022). South Environmental
was retained to prepare an historical analysis for the 315 Olive Avenue, located in the City of Carlsbad,
San Diego County, California. This analysis includes the results of an intensive-level, pedestrian survey of
the project site by a qualified architectural historian; building development and archival research; and
recordation and evaluation of one property for historical significance in consideration of NRHP, CRHR,
and City of Carlsbad historic resources inventory (HRI) designation criteria and integrity requirements. As
a result of the property significance evaluation, the property was recommended el igible for designation
in the NRHP at the local level, the CRHR, and the City's HRI under NRHP Criterion C, CRHR Criterion 3,
and City Criterion C for its architectural merit. Responsibilities included QAQC of project deliverables.
Mira Mesa Community Plan Area Historic Context Statement and Focused Reconnaissance Survey,
City of San Diego Planning Department, California (2020-2022). While working for her previous firm,
Ms. Corder served as the senior architectural historian and task manager for the project. The project
included the preparation of a historic context statement and a reconnaissance-level survey for historical
resources. The goal of the project was to identify the historical themes and associated property types
important to the development of Mira Mesa, accompanied by a reconnaissance-level survey report
focused on the master-planned residential communities within the Mira Mesa Community Plan Area .
While the historic context statement addressed all development themes and property types within the
community, the scope of the survey was limited to residential housing within the CPA constructed
between 1969 and 1990. This study was completed as part of the comprehensive update to the Mira Mesa
CPA and Programmatic Environmental Impact Report (EIR). Responsibilities included: task manager,
survey lead, and co-author of the historic context statement and survey reports. Ms. Corder also provided
QA/QC of all survey information and project deliverables.
University CPA Historic Context Statement and Focused Reconnaissance Survey, City of San Diego
Planning Department, California (2020-2022). While working for her previous firm, Ms. Corder served
as the senior architectural historian for the project. The project included the preparation of an HCS that
identified the historical themes and associated property types important to the development of University
City, accompanied by a reconnaissance-level survey report focused on the master-planned residential
communities within the University Community Plan Area . While the HCS addressed all development
themes and property types within the community, the scope of the survey was limited to residential
housing constructed between the 1960s and 1990s. Responsibilities for the project included task

Corder also provided QA/QC of all survey information and project deliverables.
Historical Resources Technical Report for the Preserve at River Bend Project, County of San Diego,
California (2022). While working at a previous firm, Ms. Corder served as the principal architectural
historian for the project. The project Area of Potential Effect (APE) comprises buildings and structures over
45 years old, including a portion of the San Diego Aqueduct, the Lucio Dairy, Pete Verboom Dairy, and
two residential properties (34468 and 34440 Jamies Lane) functioning as small farmsteads. As such, these
resources were evaluated for historical significance in consideration of potential impacts to historical
resources under the CEQA, the County of San Diego Historic Preservation Ordinance, the County of San
Diego Resource Protection Ordinance (RPO), and Section 106 of the NHPA. Ms. Corder also analyzed the

All buildings on the property are concentrated along the rear (south) end of the parcel
and are oriented to face Tyler Street. The remainder of the subject property features
concrete pathways and paved and dirt surfaces (Exhibits 2, 6, 7, 8 and 9). The property
is further defined by a large dirt storage area enclosed by chain link fence located in
front of the residences (Exhibit 2). While the property now presents as one continuous
building, there are two distinct sections which are identified in the following
description as the 3215 section and the 3225 section.
The 3215 section of the subject property consists of a one-story residence with an
irregular floor plan. It is capped by a side-gabled roof clad in composition shingles.
The exterior is clad with horizontal wood siding. The main entry point was enclosed at
an unknown date and now projects from the central plane of the main (northeast) elevation.
There is a wood paneled door with diamond shaped glazing that provides entry to the
residence. Flanking the main entrance are two vinyl sash sliding windows framed with
wood surrounds (Exhibits 2 and 4). There is a carport projecting from the northwest
elevation (Exhibit 2). The southeast elevation features irregular fenestration and vinyl
sash windows (Exhibit 3). The rear (southwest) elevation features two rear additions one
of which is the rectangular addition that connects it to the 3225 section of the property
(Exhibits 3 and 5).

design, workmanship, materials, and setting have impaired its ability to reflect the
period in which it was constructed. Therefore, the subject property is not eligible under
CRHR Criterion 1 or City Criterion A.
CRHR Criterion 2. Is associated with the lives of persons important in our past.
City Criterion B. It is identified with persons or events significant in local, state or
national history.
The subject property was a single-family residential property that was converted to a
multi-family property. Throughout its history, the buildings had several owners and
residents. Archival research failed to indicate that any of these individuals or
businesses are associated with events significant in the history of Carlsbad, the state,
or the nation. Therefore, the subject property is not eligible under CRHR Criterion 2 or
City Criterion B.
CRHR Criterion 3. Embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, region, or
method of construction, or represents the work of an important creative individual, or
possesses high artistic values.
City Criterion C. It embodies distinctive characteristics of a style, type, period or
method of construction, is a valuable example of the use of indigenous materials or
craftsmanship or is representative of a notable work of an acclaimed builder, designer
or architect.
The subject property was constructed as a modest, single-family residence circa 1953.
Based on archival research, the building remained a single-family residence until a
second residence was constructed circa 1964. While the buildings on the property may
have been constructed in a specific architectural style, there is no longer any
discernible architectural style, as numerous character-defining features have been
altered or lost. Alterations on both buildings include replacement of windows and doors,
room additions, carport constructions, and the physical connection of both residences.
The alterations have resulted in the subject property being unrecognizable to a
particular style or period of development with few elements of the original design,
materials, and craftsmanship remaining. In summary, these alterations inhibit the subject
property's ability to convey significance as an early 1950s, 1960s residential property.
Furthermore, the property is not known to be the work of an acclaimed builder, designer,
or architect. Therefore, the subject property is not eligible under CRHR Criterion 3 or
City Criterion C.
CRHR Criterion 4. Has yielded, or may be likely to yield, information important in
prehistory or history.
City Criterion D. It is an archaeological, paleon to logical, botanical, geological,
topographical, ecological or geographical site which has the potential of yielding
information of scientific value.

The subject property is not significant as a source, or likely source, of important
historical information nor does it appear likely to yield important information about
historic construction methods, materials or technologies. Therefore, the property is not
eligible under CRHR Criterion 4 or City Criterion D.
City Criterion E. It is a geographically definable area with a concentration of buildings,
structures, improvements, or objects linked historically through location, design,
setting, materials, workmanship, feeling and/ or association, in which the collective
value of the improvements may be greater than the value of each individual improvement.
The block on which the subject property is located exhibits properties from various
decades, creating a wide variety of architectural forms and styles of various scale
throughout the area. Thus, creating an overall lack of architectural/visual cohesion. In
addition, Tyler Street is a mixture of residential, commercial, and industrial buildings.
The buildings on the block are not united in any specific style, period, or theme.
Therefore, there is no potential for the subject property to contribute to a historic
district and the subject property is not eligible under City Criterion E.
Integrity Discussion
Integrity is the authenticity of a historical resource's physical identity evidenced by
the survival of characteristics that existed during the resource's period of
significance. Historical resources eligible for listing in the CRHR must meet one of the
designation criteria and retain enough of their historic character or appearance to be
recognizable as historical resources and to convey the reasons for their significance.
Integrity is evaluated with regard to the retention of location, design, setting,
materials, workmanship, feeling, and association. It must also be judged with reference
to the particular criteria under which a resource is proposed for eligibility (OHP 2011).
Location: The subject property retains integrity of location. The property is sited on
the original location it was constructed in its original orientation.
Design: The subject property lacks integrity of design. It was designed as a single-
family residential property and was converted into multi-family property. Alterations,
including the replacement of doors, windows, modification of buildings including
physically connecting both residences, and the addition of a large carport, have all
obscured the original design.
Setting: The subject property lacks integrity of setting. When the building was
constructed, most of the surrounding developments included small, single-family homes
and agricultural lots. All adjacent properties on the block have been modified to
commercial, industrial, or high-density residential developments. The building itself
has been converted from single-family to multi-family residential use.
Materials: The subject property lacks integrity of materials. Alterations including the
replacement of doors, windows, replacement stucco cladding, addition of a carport, and
addition of buildings on the property have resulted in a loss of nearly all original
materials.

Workmanship: The subject property lacks integrity of workmanship. The substantial
alterations have obscured the original workmanship, however simple.
Feeling: The subject property lacks integrity of feeling. Its conversion from a single-
family to a multi-family residential property and the substantial alterations to its
design and materials have compromised its integrity of feeling.
Association: The subject property lacks integrity of association. The property has no
important associations with events, people, or important patterns of development in the
City.
As a result of the property significance evaluation, the subject property at 3415-3225
Tyler Road is not eligible for designation in the CRHR or the City's Historic Resources
Inventory.
