Executive Summary
This Historical Resource Analysis Report (HRAR) was prepared at the request of project applicant Marshall
Booth to evaluate the historical significance and resource status of the property located at 3451 Garfield
Street, identified as San Diego County Assessor’s Parcel Number (APN) 204-234-04-00 in the City of
Carlsbad. The study was conducted by Urbana Preservation & Planning, LLC (Urbana) to inform City staff
and future project applicants of whether the subject property contains historical resources eligible for
inclusion on the California Register of Historical Resources (CRHR) or the City of Carlsbad Historic
Preservation Criteria (Local Register). The analysis further determines whether the property meets the
definition of a historical resource pursuant to Section 15064.5 of the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) Guidelines.
The 3451 Garfield Street property, located on the northwest corner of Garfield Street and Maple Avenue,
encompasses approximately 0.13 acres. It includes a Minimal Traditional style residence and a detached
garage constructed in 1955 by an unknown builder. The proposed project includes the demolition of the
existing structures to allow for the construction of a new two-story, single-family residence, totaling
approximately 3,733 square feet, with a two-car garage totaling approximately 627 square feet. The new
residence would reach a maximum building height of 29.3 feet above finished grade. Additional site
improvements include establishing a new pad grade, ranging from 0’-0” to 5’-4” increase (east to west)
above the existing grade.
The property was found not eligible for listing in the CRHR or City of Carlsbad Local Register. The property
is not associated with significant events or individuals, nor does it embody distinctive characteristics of a
type, period, or method of construction under CRHR/Local Register Criterion 1/A, 2/B, and 3/C. It is unlikely
to yield information important to prehistory or history of Carlsbad, state, or the nation, and no known
archaeological or paleontological resources have been identified within the project site under CRHR/Local
Register Criterion 4/D. Additionally, the surrounding neighborhood does not constitute a geographically
definable historic district under Local Register E.
Historic and current maps, showing the property location are included in Appendix A; building records are
included in Appendix B; ownership and occupancy data is included in Appendix C; historic and current views
of the property are included in Appendix D; Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) 523 series forms are
included in Appendix E; and preparer qualifications are included in Appendix F.

I. Introduction
This HRAR was prepared by Urbana to evaluate the 3451 Garfield Street property in the City of Carlsbad. The
property may be subject to future discretionary projects and has been evaluated for significance and
eligibility under the CRHR to determine if the property qualifies as a historical resource pursuant to CEQA.
Identified as APN 204-234-04-00, the evaluated property and proposed project area is a 0.13 acre parcel
located on the southwest corner of Garfield Street and Maple Avenue, on Lot 11 of Block C of the 1922 Map
of Palisades tract (Map No. 01747). The surrounding area is primarily residential, with development dating
mostly from the 1950s through the 1970s. Project location maps, historic and current, are included in
Appendix A.
Methodological Approach and Report Organization
The methodological approach undertaken for this HRAR consisted of three major tasks – contextual and
property specific research, a site visit and field survey, and technical analysis.
Research
Archival research included a review of relevant records and reference resources on file at the Carlsbad City
Library Genealogy and History Collection Room, and regional libraries at San Diego State University and the
University of California at San Diego. Contextual and property-specific historical research included
Oceanside and Carlsbad City Directories, City of Carlsbad building permit applications and water and sewer
service connection records, San Diego regional newspapers from the California Digital Newspaper Collection
at the University of California Riverside and via Genealogy Bank, County of San Diego Residential Building
Records, and Grantor-Grantee Indexes referencing property ownership deed filings. Additional materials
were obtained through Calisphere and the San Diego History Center Archives, which provide supplemental
and regional and architectural context. References and narratives on the City of Carlsbad, the Palisades
Subdivision, and the Minimal Traditional architectural style, were obtained from Urbana’s in-house library,
the City of Carlsbad Cultural Resource Guidelines (1990), and the City of Carlsbad Tribal, Cultural, and
Paleontological Resources Guidelines (2017). Building records are included in Appendix B. Ownership and
occupancy data is included in Appendix C.
Site Visit
Urbana’s Alexia Landa conducted the site visit in September 2025. The purpose of the site visit was to
observe and photograph all buildings and structures at the property and the surrounding environs.

Urbana Preservation & Planning, LLC | October 2025 | Page 7
Additional investigation occurred as part of post-processing. The site photography and subsequent analysis
allowed the subject matter experts to understand and identify the architectural styles and character-
defining features present, and to evaluate building alterations and development patterns associated with
the parcel and its environs. Historic and current views of the property are included in Appendix D.
Technical Analysis
Historical research and field survey observations informed the significance evaluation of the subject
property under the Local Register and CRHR criteria. The 3451 Garfield Street property is documented and
evaluated on California Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) 523 series forms, contained within
Appendix E, and is further analyzed for historical resource status in this HRAR.
Report preparers Alexandrea Baker, MCP, and Alexia Landa, B.A., prepared this HRAR with oversight by
Principal Wendy L. Tinsley, Becker, RPH, AICP. All Urbana personnel meet The Secretary of the Interior’s
Professional Qualifications Standards in the disciplines of history and architectural history. Personnel
resumes are included in Appendix F.

II. PRESERVATION PLANNING
REGULATORY FRAMEWORK
Following is an overview of the historic preservation regulatory framework and eligibility criteria under
which the 3451 Garfield Street property is evaluated.
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) & Historical Resources
The criteria for the California Register of Historical Resources (CRHR) were designed to parallel those for the
National Register of Historic Places (NRHP); therefore, the registration programs are very similar. Historical
resources are defined as “a resource listed or eligible for listing on the California Register of Historical
Resources” (Public Resources Code, Section 5024.1; 14 CCR 15064.5). Under CEQA Guidelines Section
15064.5(a), the term “historical resources” includes the following:
(1) A resource listed in, or determined to be eligible by the State Historical Resources Commission, for
listing in the California Register of Historical Resources (Public Resources Code, Section 5024.1).
(2) A resource included in a local register of historical resources, as defined in Section 5020.1(k) of the
Public Resources Code or identified as significant in a historical resource survey meeting the
requirements of Section 5024.1(g) of the Public Resources Code, will be presumed to be historically
or culturally significant. Public agencies must treat any such resource as significant unless the
preponderance of evidence demonstrates that it is not historically or culturally significant.
(3) Any object, building, structure, site, area, place, record, or manuscript which a lead agency
determines to be historically significant or significant in the architectural, engineering, scientific,
economic, agricultural, educational, social, political, military, or cultural annals of California may be
considered to be a historical resource, provided the lead agency’s determination is supported by
substantial evidence in light of the whole record. Generally, a resource shall be considered by the
lead agency to be “historically significant” if the resource meets the criteria for listing on the
California Register of Historical Resources (Public Resources Code Section 5024.1) including the
following:
1. Is associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of
California’s history and cultural heritage;
2. Is associated with the lives of persons important in California’s past;
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

Urbana Preservation & Planning, LLC | October 2025 | Page 10
artistic values; or
4. Has yielded, or may be likely to yield, information important in prehistory or history.
(4) The fact that a resource is not listed in, or determined to be eligible for listing in the California
Register of Historical Resources, not included in a local register of historical resources (pursuant to
Section 5020.1(k) of the Public Resources Code), or identified in a historical resources survey
(meeting the criteria in Section 5024.1(g) of the Public Resources Code) does not preclude a lead
agency from determining that the resource may be an historical resource as defined in Public
Resources Code Sections 5020.1(j) or 5024.1.
Pursuant to the California Office of Historic Preservation:
The California Register includes resources listed in or formally determined eligible for listing
in the National Register of Historic Places, as well as some California State Landmarks and
Points of Historical Interest. Properties of local significance that have been designated
under a local preservation ordinance (local landmarks or landmark districts) or that have
been identified in a local historical resources inventory may be eligible for listing in the
California Register and are presumed to be significant resources for purposes of CEQA
unless a preponderance of evidence indicates otherwise (PRC Section 5024.1, 14 CCR §
4850).
The California Register statute (PRC Section 5024.1) and regulations (14 CCR Section 4850
et seq.) require that at the time a local jurisdiction nominates an historic resources survey
for listing in the California Register, the survey must be updated if it is more than five years
old. This is to ensure that a nominated survey is as accurate as possible at the time it is
listed in the California Register. However, this does not mean that resources identified in a
survey that is more than five years old need not be considered “historical resources” for
purposes of CEQA. Unless a resource listed in a survey has been demolished, lost
substantial integrity, or there is a preponderance of evidence indicating that it is otherwise
not eligible for listing, a lead agency should consider the resource to be potentially eligible
for the California Register.1
Integrity and the CRHR
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 California Register must meet one of the criteria of significance described above and retain
Historical Resource Analysis Report
3451 Garfield Street, Carlsbad, CA 92008
Urbana Preservation & Planning, LLC | October 2025 | Page 11
enough of their historic character or appearance to be recognizable as historical resources and to convey the
reasons for their significance. Historical resources that have been rehabilitated or restored may be
evaluated for listing. 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. Alterations over time to a resource or historic
changes in its use may themselves have historical, cultural, or architectural significance.
It is possible that historical resources may not retain sufficient integrity to meet the criteria for listing in the
National Register, but they may still be eligible for listing in the California Register. The CRHR program
requires a resource to have “enough integrity” (14 CCR Section 4852(c)) to convey its historic significance.
Therefore, a resource without sufficient integrity under the NRHP program may still have enough integrity
to meet the CRHR program requirements.
City of Carlsbad Historic Preservation Criteria
City of Carlsbad Municipal Code Chapter 22.06 states that a historic resource may be considered and
approved by City Council for inclusion in the city’s 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.
B. It is identified with persons or events significant in local, state or national history.
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.
D. It is an archaeological, paleontological, botanical, geological, topographical, ecological or
geographical site which has the potential of yielding information of scientific value.
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.

III. Historical Overview
This section includes a historical overview of Carlsbad and Minimal Traditional style. These themes provide
the framework for significance evaluation of 3451 Garfield Street in Section V.
Brief Overview of the City of Carlsbad
The City of Carlsbad is a coastal community in northwest San Diego County, bounded by Oceanside to the
north, Vista and San Marcos to the east, and Encinitas to the south. Located approximately 35 miles north of
downtown San Diego, Carlsbad encompasses approximately a 40 square mile area and is characterized by its
rolling hills and coastal bluffs, and several of the region’s major coastal lagoons. The Carlsbad Watershed
contains four major lagoons, Agua Hedionda Lagoon, Buena Vista Lagoon, San Elijo Lagoon, and Batiquitos
Lagoon.2 The city lies within a semi-arid Mediterranean climate zone and experiences a mild to tempered
climate ranging between 47 to 90 degrees Fahrenheit. Much of the area is highly urbanized, with a high
percentage of undeveloped land under private ownership. The main transportation corridor that intersects
the area from north to south is Interstate 5.
Prior to European settlement, the area was inhabited by the native Luiseño and Kumeyaay people. The
Luiseño occupied much of the territory drained by the San Luis Rey and Santa Margarita Rivers, while the
Kumeyaay controlled lands extending across southern Carlsbad into Imperial County and south to Baja
California.3 Both groups lived in semi-sedentary villages with hunting, gathering, and fishing territories and
maintained active trade networks with neighboring tribes such as the Mohave and Cocopa. It is estimated
that as many as 19,000 Luiseño and Kumeyaay lived in the region prior to the arrival of Europeans.4
The first sustained European contact came in 1769 with the Portolá Expedition, which initiated Spanish
colonization of Alta California. Mission San Diego de Alcala, founded in 1769, was established in Kumeyaay
territory, while Mission San Luis Rey, founded in 1798, was established in Luiseño territory along the lower
San Luis Rey River.5 Both missions owned several ranches where they raised livestock and crops.6
Missionization disrupted indigenous lifeway as native people were baptized, relocated, and forced into
agricultural labor on mission lands and ranches, including Santa Margarita, Las Flores, San Mateo, Pala, and
Temecula.7
After Mexican independence in 1821, mission lands were secularized and distributed as ranchos. The
Mexican government issued more than 500 land grants of former mission lands to prominent families to

3451 Garfield Street, Carlsbad, CA 92008
Urbana Preservation & Planning, LLC | October 2025 | Page 13
encourage settlement and agricultural development of Alta California. Land grants were carefully
documented on maps known as disenos that roughly delineated the boundaries of each grant.8 In 1842,
Governor Juan Alvarado granted Rancho Agua Hedionda, a 13,311 acre ranch encompassing much of
present-day Carlsbad, to Juan Maria Marron, a San Diego political leader and former ship captain. The
rancho remained under Marron’s ownership for about a decade before passing into the hands of his widow
and four children.9
During the 1850s, following California’s admission into the Union as the 31st state, most Mexican land grants
were honored by the U.S. courts with more restricted boundaries. Lands that were not part of the land grant
were owned by the new government until it was acquired by settlers through purchase or homesteading. In
1860, Marron’s heirs took a $6,000 loan to help pay for the new American land tax. The loan was acquired
from Francis Hinton with the Rancho as collateral. Hinton was a native New Yorker who moved west as part
of the Boundary Commission Guard during the Mexican-American War. In 1865, Hinton took possession of
the former Rancho following the Marron family’s inability to repay the debt. With the help of Robert Kelly, a
partner and friend, Hinton managed the former rancho.10 In 1870, Hinton passed away leaving the Rancho
under the Robert Kelly family ownership.
Carlsbad’s modern development traces to the expansion of the California Southern Railroad in the 1880s.
Railroads transformed Southern California into a patchwork of small suburban and agricultural towns, with
Carlsbad positioned along the key north-south rail route. In 1883, a stop was established in the area for the
California Southern Railroad, known as Frazier’s Station. Soon thereafter John Frazier began selling high-
quality mineral water to passengers, sourced locally from a nearby well. In 1886, the Carlsbad Land and
Mineral Company was established and in September of that year, platted its “Map of Carlsbad.”11 Recorded
as Map No.365 on February 2, 1887, the original 86-block townsite was roughly bounded by present-day
Palm Avenue, Beech Street, Interstate 5, and the Pacific Ocean. Named after Karlvoy Vary in Czech
Republic, the town quickly gained a reputation for its mineral water, which was marketed as medicinal.
Additional subdivisions were soon platted around the townsite, including J.A. Faucher’s Highland Addition
to Carlsbad (Map No. 541, Recorded 1888), Patterson’s Addition (Map No. 565, Recording date not
identified), the Sunny Slope Tract (Map No. 486, Recorded 1888 updated 1906), Mill’s Addition to Carlsbad
(Map No. 514, Recorded 1888), Cedar Hill Addition (Map No. 532, Recorded 1888), Carlsbad Ranch (Map No.
1637, Recorded 1914), and the South Coast Land Company’s Map of Carlsbad Lands (Map No. 1661,
Recorded 1915).12 By the 1920s, Carlsbad population had increased, supported by agricultural prosperity. In
1924, North Carlsbad and the North Carlsbad Annex were platted as Map Nos. 1807 and 1888. In 1928, the
Historical Resource Analysis Report
3451 Garfield Street, Carlsbad, CA 92008
Urbana Preservation & Planning, LLC | October 2025 | Page 14
Schell & Site’s Addition to Carlsbad was platted as Map No. 2145. By 1926, the town’s population was
recorded at approximately 1,500 residents.13 A large segment of the population were Mexican immigrants
who had left Mexico during the Mexican Revolution (1910-1920) and established El Barrio, the town’s first
neighborhood. Into the 1930s, and with a population of 1,500 people, the town was further subdivided to
allow for the development of residential tracts. This development, however, was stunted as the effects of
the Great Depression rippled throughout America in the 1930s.
In December of 1941, the cultural and economic climate changed again, when the United States was
catapulted into World War II. The development of suburban residential communities spread across the
nation in an effort to accommodate the workers in industrial hubs, as well as the relocation of military
personnel. The desperate need for workers and men to fight abroad meant that people all across the nation
were moving quickly and in large groups. In the post-World War II era, Carlsbad experienced a rapid increase
in population from the recorded 2,400 residents in 1940 to 4,383 residents in 1950.14
Commercial buildings and residential homes were requisitioned by the military to house military personnel
as well as equipment, and also served as training facilities. The bluffs along Terramar Beach were utilized as
anti-aircraft stations, a service station across the street from the Gerhard Schutte Residence was converted
into a military police station, and Hosp Grove provided space for the US Army to erect tent cities. 15
As a result of the accelerated growth in what was then a suburban outpost of the City of San Diego, in 1952
citizens of Carlsbad approved municipal incorporation. By 1960, the population had again nearly doubled to
9,253. Carlsbad continued to expand from the 1960s onward, including the development of La Costa in 1972
located east of Batiquitos Lagoon, which resulted in additional population increases and a healthy economic
base for the City of Carlsbad. 16 Residential subdivisions, resort developments, and commercial centers
continued to expand eastward and southward throughout the 1980s and 1990s, transforming the city from
an agricultural and suburban community into a major coastal municipality. In 1999, the opening of
LEGOLAND California Resort further reinforced Carlsbad’s identity as a regional tourist destination. Today,
the city is characterized by a blend of historic coastal neighborhoods, master-planned residential
communities, and a diversified economy that includes technology, tourism, and light manufacturing. The
current population is approximately 114,746, reflecting its continued growth and development into the
twenty-first century. 17

Palisades Tract (Map No. 01747)
The Palisades tract (Map No. 1747) was established in November 1922 by the South Coast Land Company
and the Security Trust & Savings Bank of Los Angeles, and the Oceanside Mutual Water Company.18 Located
just south of the boundary of the original Carlsbad Townsite, the tract extended beyond the historic core
centered around the California Southern Railroad station. The subdivision included Sycamore, Maple
Avenue, Acacia, Juniper, Hemlock, Redwood, Sequoia, Chinquapin, and Date Avenues, and comprised
Blocks A through P, each containing approximately 14 to 20 lots, ranging from 0.10 to 0.13 acres in size.19
Early advertisements promoted the Palisades as a modern residential subdivision offering well-built homes
at a reasonable price.20 Despite its early establishment, the area saw limited initial development, and much
of the tract is absent from early Sanborn Fire Insurance Maps of Carlsbad.21 The first clear visual record
appears in a 1938 aerial photograph, which shows only a small number of single-family residences, with
small-scale agricultural uses located east of Garfield Street.22
Substantial development of the Palisades did not occur until the post-World War II era (1950s-1970s), when
rising demand for housing and improved transportation infrastructure spurred residential infill throughout
Carlsbad. By the late twentieth century, the tract had transitioned into a predominately residential
neighborhood composed of single-family and multi-family dwellings, reflecting incremental suburban
expansion typical of mid-century coastal communities.
Minimal Traditional, 1935-1950
The Minimal Traditional style emerged during the economic Depression of the 1930s as an affordable and
practical response to the ornate period revival houses of the preceding decade. It reflected the forms of
traditional Eclectic styles, particularly Tudor Revival, Colonial Revival, and Spanish Colonial Revival, but with
little or no decorative detailing. This stylistic simplification aligned with the financial realities of the
Depression era and the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) push for modest efficient housing designs
that could be constructed quickly and affordably. The FHA’s minimum property standards and lending
policies favored small, single-family homes with simplified plans and limited ornamentation, encouraging
builders to produce designs that were both economical and familiar in form.23 As a result, the style quickly
spread nationwide and became one of the dominant residential forms of the late 1930s and 1940s.24
Architecturally, the Minimal Traditional style maintained the basic shapes and rooflines of earlier revival
styles but removed their elaborate ornamentation. Roof pitches were typically low or intermediate rather

Urbana Preservation & Planning, LLC | October 2025 | Page 16
than steep, echoing Tudor forms but without the elaborate half-timbering or brickwork. Eaves and rakes
were close rather than overhanging, distinguishing the style from the later Ranch house. Most examples
featured at least one front-facing gable and occasionally a large chimney, gestures that retained a sense of
traditional domesticity.25 These homes were constructed in large numbers immediately before and after
World War II and commonly dominated early suburban tract developments across the United States.
Although most Minimal Traditional style homes were small, one-story dwellings, built of wood, stucco, or
stone, and sometimes a mixture of these materials, two-story examples were not uncommon. The design’s
restrained character and economical construction made it especially adaptable to postwar suburban
subdivisions, where uniformity, affordability, and speed of construction were prioritized.
In Southern California, including coastal communities such as Carlsbad, the Minimal Traditional style
became one of the most prevalent forms of residential construction during the late 1930s and through the
early 1950s. The style served as a transitional link between the decorative revival styles of the interwar
period and the low, horizontal Ranch style that would soon dominate suburban landscapes. Its compact size,
modest detailing, and traditional massing suited the needs of a rapidly growing middle-class seeking
affordable homeownership during the postwar era.26 In Carlsbad and other North County communities, the
style often appeared as individual infill dwellings or small speculative tracts, reflecting the regions
incremental suburban expansion during the mid-twentieth century.
Typical character-defining features of the Minimal Traditional style include:
• Simple, box-like one-story massing with limited articulation
• Low-to-medium pitched gabled or hipped roofs with minimal overhangs
• Asymmetrical front façade with a modest porch, stoop, or recessed main entryway
• Front-facing gable or cross gable referencing earlier Tudor or Colonial influences
• Cladding of stucco, wood siding, or brick veneer, sometimes used in combination
• Wood sash or steel framed windows, typically double-hung or horizontal sliders
• Detached or attached single-car garage, often to the side or rear of the dwelling
• Minimal ornamentation, sometimes limited to shutters, shallow eave returns, or simplified trim

IV. Property History
The 3451 Garfield Street property is located in the City of Carlsbad, San Diego County, on the northwest
corner of Garfield Street and Maple Avenue on APN 204-234-04-00, a block away from the Pacific Coast.
The parcel, approximately 0.13 acres in size, occupies Lot 11 of Block C of the 1922 Palisades subdivision
(Map No. 1747). The property contains a single-family residence and a detached garage designed in the
Minimal Traditional style by an unidentified builder.
Ownership and occupancy history, construction history, and the current property description are addressed
in the following section.
Ownership and Occupancy History
Property ownership and occupancy was established through historical research, review of City of Carlsbad
building permit records, and examination of public and newspaper archives. Based on available records,
development of the area dates to the 1920s with the establishment of the Palisades tract in 1922, though
construction activity was limited. The subject parcel was not improved until the post World War II era. In
1955, the property was improved with a Minimal Traditional style residence and a detached garage by an
unidentified builder. Property ownership between 1955 and 1970 could not be verified through available city
directory records.
In 1971, the property was acquired by Gordon Lyle Bradley and his wife Cherie Kathleen “Katte” Polhamus
Bradley, longtime residents of the Carlsbad-Oceanside area.27 Gordon Lyle Bradley was born on June 24,
1931, in North Dakota to Ralph Bradley and Myna Poppen.28 He was a graduate of Oceanside-Carlsbad
Union High School and was a United States Navy veteran who served as a corpsman during the Korean War.
Following his military service, he was employed by the Pacific Telephone Company, serving as the Chief Line
Assigner for the company’s Mission Avenue branch, a position he held for 19 years.29 In 1950, Mr. Bradley
married Cherie Kathleen Polhamus of Carlsbad.30 Mrs. Bradley was born on December 4, 1932, in Los
Angeles County. Her family relocated to San Diego in the 1940s, where she later attended Oceanside-
Carlsbad College. Together the couple had two sons: Gordon P. Bradley (b.1955), and Treg R. Bradley
(b.1968).31
In 1974, Mr. Bradley passed away at the age of 43. Mrs. Bradley retained ownership of the property and
continued to reside there with their sons.32 City directory research indicates that several tenants occupied

the property intermittently after 1977. Sometime after 1986, Mrs. Bradley remarried Robert Miner who
passed away in 2003. 33 The property remained within the Bradley family for several decades and was
transferred to her sons, Gordon and Treg, in 2022.
As of 2024, the property is owned by Brian and Julie Gotz Trust, under whose ownership it remains today.

Construction History
Construction history is based on City of Carlsbad permit records, the Residential Building Record, historic
and current aerial photography, and newspaper research. The subject property, approximately 0.13 acres in
size, was initially improved in 1955 with the construction of a standard Minimal Traditional style dwelling
and a detached garage by an unidentified builder (Permit No. 1245).34 The project was valued at $10,701.35
Based on the Residential Building Record, the dwelling had a one-story asymmetrical floorplan atop a
concrete foundation. The dwelling featured a stucco façade, metal sash windows, a moderately-pitched
hipped roof topped with composition shingles and boxed eaves, and a brick fireplace. The detached garage,
located directly west of the dwelling, was built in a compatible style and material palette. The dwelling first
appears in a 1963 aerial photograph of the area.36
Over the years, the dwelling and garage underwent only minimal alterations. In 1995, a permit was issued
for reroofing (Permit No. CB951608), followed by a plumbing permit to connect a gas line to the garage
(Permit No. CB 960959). In addition to the documented permit history, the original metal sash windows
were replaced by 2008 with the current vinyl sliding sash units.
A list of construction permits is available In Table 3 below. Historic views of the property are included within

Current Appearance
3451 Garfield Street Residence
Located on the northwest corner of Garfield Street and Maple Avenue, the 3451 Garfield Street property
includes a modest one-story dwelling and detached garage designed in the Minimal Traditional style by an
unidentified builder. The building is sited on a rectangular parcel, approximately 0.13 acres in size, on Lot 11
of Block C of the Palisades tract (Map No. 1747) in the City of Carlsbad. The surrounding area is characterized
by a mix of single-family and multi-family properties developed primarily during the post World War II era,
between the 1950s and 1970s. The dwelling has an asymmetrical facade and an irregular floorplan atop a
concrete foundation. The moderately-pitched hipped roof is topped with composition shingles and has a
moderate eave overhang, with boxed eaves. The exterior is finished in smooth stucco painted tan and the
primary entryway is recessed below the main roofline. Visible character-defining features of the Minimal
Traditional style include its simple one-story floorplan, recessed entryway, stucco exterior, moderately
pitched hipped roof, and minimal decorative details.
The primary (east) elevation faces Garfield Street and exhibits an asymmetrical composition with minimal
decorative detailing. A concrete walkway extends from the public sidewalk to the recessed main entryway,
which features a paneled wood door and a metal security screen door. The elevation includes three vinyl
sliding sash windows of varying sizes, symmetrically distributed across the facade.
The south elevation faces Maple Avenue and has an asymmetrical façade with minimal decorative detailing.
A secondary recessed entryway is located below the main roofline, accessed by a concrete walkway
extending from the corner of the lot. Several vinyl sliding sash windows of varying sizes are evenly
distributed across the elevation.
The west elevation faces neighboring property, 166 Maple Avenue, and features minimal decorative details
and vinyl sliding sash window units. The north elevation faces neighboring property, 3449 Garfield Street,
and is mostly obscured from the public right-of-way. The elevation exhibits an asymmetrical composition
with several small vinyl window units and limited architectural detailing.
The detached garage, located west of the main dwelling, features a square floorplan, a smooth stucco
façade, white paneled overhead door, and a vinyl window unit. Similar to the dwelling, it displays minimal
decorative detailing.

V. Significance Evaluations
3451 Garfield Street was analyzed for historical and architectural significance under the eligibility criteria of
the CRHR and Local Register. These eligibility criteria establish a threshold under which a property may be
determined to meet the definition of an historical resource for the purposes of CEQA and the local
discretionary review process.
CRHR Criterion 1: It is associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad
patterns of local or regional history, or the cultural heritage of California or the United States.
Local Register Criterion A: It exemplifies or reflects special elements of the city’s cultural, social,
economic, political, aesthetic, engineering or architectural history.
The 3451 Garfield Street property was constructed in 1955, during the period of post–World War II suburban
expansion in Carlsbad. While this period represents an important phase in the city’s overall growth, the
property does not appear to be directly or significantly associated with any major planning effort,
subdivision milestone, or residential development trend that would distinguish it from the numerous similar
houses constructed throughout Carlsbad during the 1950s and 1960s. The property’s association with the
broader pattern of postwar residential development is common and not unique, and no evidence indicates
that it played a noteworthy role in local or regional historical themes such as agriculture, transportation, or
community planning.
As a result, the property does not appear to be significantly associated with events that have contributed to
the broad patterns of local or regional history, and is therefore not eligible under CRHR Criterion 1 / Local
Register Criterion A.
CRHR Criterion 2: Associated with the lives of persons important to local, California, or national
history.
Local Register Criterion B: It is identified with persons or events significant in local, state, or national
history.
Research indicates that the 3451 Garfield Street property was occupied by Gordon Lyle Bradley and his wife
Cherie Kathleen “Katte” Polhamus Bradley beginning in 1971. Mr. Bradley was a longtime resident of the
Carlsbad–Oceanside area and served as a Chief Line Assigner for the Pacific Telephone Company, while Mrs.
Bradley was active in the local community and later maintained ownership of the property. Although the
Bradley’s were well-established local residents, no evidence was found to suggest that they were individuals
Historical Resource Analysis Report
3451 Garfield Street, Carlsbad, CA 92008
Urbana Preservation & Planning, LLC | October 2025 | Page 23
of historical importance or that their activities had a demonstrable influence on local, regional, or state
history.
The property is therefore not associated with the lives of persons important to local, California, or national
history, and it does not meet the significance threshold required for listing under CRHR Criterion 2 / Local
Register Criterion B.
CRHR Criterion 3: Embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, region, or method of
construction, or represents the work of a master or possesses high artistic values.
Local Register Criterion C: It embodies distinct characteristics of a style, type, period, or method of
construction, or is a valuable example of the use of indigenous materials or craftsmanship.
Constructed in 1955, the dwelling at 3451 Garfield Street is a modest example of the Minimal Traditional
style, a common residential form built throughout Southern California during the post–World War II era.
While the property retains its original massing, roof form, and general residential character, it does not
display a high degree of architectural distinction, craftsmanship, or design detailing representative of the
style. The dwelling lacks the level of integrity and workmanship necessary to convey architectural
significance and is not the work of a recognized architect or builder. In addition, alterations such as the
installation of vinyl window units have diminished its original design and materials.
As a result, the property does not embody the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of
construction to a degree that conveys significance and is not eligible under CRHR Criterion 3 / Local Register
Criterion C.
CRHR Criterion 4: Has yielded, or has the potential to yield, information important to the prehistory
or history of the local area, California, or the nation.
Local Register 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 property is unlikely to yield information important to the prehistory or history of Carlsbad, the state, or
nation. No known archeological or paleontological resources have been identified within the project site.
The property is not eligible under CRHR Criterion 4 / Local Register Criterion D.
Historical Resource Analysis Report
3451 Garfield Street, Carlsbad, CA 92008
Urbana Preservation & Planning, LLC | October 2025 | Page 24
Local Register 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 surrounding neighborhood does not constitute a geographically definable historic district. Although the
area contains some early residential buildings dating to the 1920s and 1930s, the majority of the surrounding
development consists of post-World War II single-family residences constructed between the 1950s and
1970s. This mixture of building types, construction dates, and styles does not convey a unified historic
period, development pattern, or architectural character. For this reason, the 3451 Garfield Street property
does not appear eligible under Local Register Criterion E.
Integrity
Although the 3451 Garfield Street property retains a moderate degree of integrity, it has not been found
eligible for designation under any of the established California Register of Historical Resources (CRHR) or
City of Carlsbad Local Register criteria. The property is not associated with significant events or individuals,
nor does it embody distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction to a degree that
conveys significance. Given its lack of historical or architectural distinction further integrity analysis is not
warranted.

VI. Regulatory Conclusions
The 3451 Garfield Street property is identified as not significant and is ineligible for CRHR listing and Local
Register designation. Accordingly, the property does not meet the definition of a historical resource
pursuant to the CEQA Guidelines.
The proposed project includes the demolition of the existing structures to allow for the construction of a
new two-story, single-family residence, totaling approximately 3,733 square feet, with a two-car garage,
totaling approximately 627 square feet. The new residence would reach a maximum building height of 29.3
feet above finished grade. Additional site improvements include establishing a new pad grade, ranging from
0’-0” to 5’-4” increase (east to west) above the existing grade.
Based on the findings of this evaluation, future discretionary projects, including the currently proposed
project, would not result in a significant impact to an historical resource pursuant to CEQA Guidelines
Section 15064.5. Consequently, because no impacts to historical resources have been identified, no
mitigation measures are required or recommended.

P3a. Description (Continued from page 1)
Located on the northwest corner of Garfield Street and Maple Avenue, the 3451 Garfield Street property
includes a modest one-story dwelling and detached garage designed in the Minimal Traditional style by an
unidentified builder. The building is sited on a rectangular parcel, approximately 0.13 acres in size, on Lot 11
of Block C of the Palisades tract (Map No. 1747) in the City of Carlsbad. The surrounding area is characterized
by a mix of single-family and multi-family properties developed primarily during the post World War II era,
between the 1950s and 1970s. The dwelling has an asymmetrical facade and an irregular floorplan atop a
concrete foundation. The moderately-pitched hipped roof is topped with composition shingles and has a
moderate eave overhang, with boxed eaves. The exterior is finished in smooth stucco painted tan and the
primary entryway is recessed below the main roofline. Visible character-defining features of the Minimal
Traditional style include its simple one-story floorplan, recessed entryway, stucco exterior, moderately pitched
hipped roof, and minimal decorative details.
The primary (east) elevation faces Garfield Street and exhibits an asymmetrical composition with minimal
decorative detailing. A concrete walkway extends from the public sidewalk to the recessed main entryway,
which features a paneled wood door and a metal security screen door. The elevation includes three vinyl
sliding sash windows of varying sizes, symmetrically distributed across the facade.
The south elevation faces Maple Avenue and has an asymmetrical façade with minimal decorative detailing. A
secondary recessed entryway is located below the main roofline, accessed by a concrete walkway extending
from the corner of the lot. Several vinyl sliding sash windows of varying sizes are evenly distributed across
the elevation.
The west elevation faces neighboring property, 166 Maple Avenue, and features minimal decorative details
and vinyl sliding sash window units. The north elevation faces neighboring property, 3449 Garfield Street, and
is mostly obscured from the public right-of-way. The elevation exhibits an asymmetrical composition with
several small vinyl window units and limited architectural detailing.
The detached garage, located west of the main dwelling, features a square floorplan, a smooth stucco façade,
white paneled overhead door, and a vinyl window unit. Similar to the dwelling, it displays minimal decorative
detailing.
B6. Construction History (Continued from page 2)
Over the years, the dwelling and garage underwent only minimal alterations. In 1995, a permit was issued for
reroofing (Permit No. CB951608), followed by a plumbing permit to connect a gas line to the garage (Permit
No. CB 960959). In addition to the documented permit history, the original metal sash windows were replaced
by 2008 with the current vinyl sliding sash units.

Brief Overview of the City of Carlsbad
The City of Carlsbad is a coastal community in northwest San Diego County, bounded by Oceanside to the
north, Vista and San Marcos to the east, and Encinitas to the south. Located approximately 35 miles north of
downtown San Diego, Carlsbad encompasses approximately a 40 square mile area and is characterized by its
rolling hills and coastal bluffs, and several of the region’s major coastal lagoons. The Carlsbad Watershed
contains four major lagoons, Agua Hedionda Lagoon, Buena Vista Lagoon, San Elijo Lagoon, and Batiquitos
Lagoon.iv The city lies within a semi-arid Mediterranean climate zone and experiences a mild to tempered
climate ranging between 47 to 90 degrees Fahrenheit. Much of the area is highly urbanized, with a high
percentage of undeveloped land under private ownership. The main transportation corridor that intersects the
area from north to south is Interstate 5.
Prior to European settlement, the area was inhabited by the native Luiseño and Kumeyaay people. The
Luiseño occupied much of the territory drained by the San Luis Rey and Santa Margarita Rivers, while the
Kumeyaay controlled lands extending across southern Carlsbad into Imperial County and south to Baja
California.v Both groups lived in semi-sedentary villages with hunting, gathering, and fishing territories and
maintained active trade networks with neighboring tribes such as the Mohave and Cocopa. It is estimated that
as many as 19,000 Luiseño and Kumeyaay lived in the region prior to the arrival of Europeans.vi
The first sustained European contact came in 1769 with the Portolá Expedition, which initiated Spanish
colonization of Alta California. Mission San Diego de Alcala, founded in 1769, was established in Kumeyaay
territory, while Mission San Luis Rey, founded in 1798, was established in Luiseño territory along the lower
San Luis Rey River.vii Both missions owned several ranches where they raised livestock and crops.viii
Missionization disrupted indigenous lifeway as native people were baptized, relocated, and forced into
agricultural labor on mission lands and ranches, including Santa Margarita, Las Flores, San Mateo, Pala, and
Temecula.ix
After Mexican independence in 1821, mission lands were secularized and distributed as ranchos. The Mexican
government issued more than 500 land grants of former mission lands to prominent families to encourage
settlement and agricultural development of Alta California. Land grants were carefully documented on maps
known as disenos that roughly delineated the boundaries of each grant.x In 1842, Governor Juan Alvarado
granted Rancho Agua Hedionda, a 13,311 acre ranch encompassing much of present-day Carlsbad, to Juan
Maria Marron, a San Diego political leader and former ship captain. The rancho remained under Marron’s
ownership for about a decade before passing into the hands of his widow and four children.xi
During the 1850s, following California’s admission into the Union as the 31st state, most Mexican land grants
were honored by the U.S. courts with more restricted boundaries. Lands that were not part of the land grant
were owned by the new government until it was acquired by settlers through purchase or homesteading. In
1860, Marron’s heirs took a $6,000 loan to help pay for the new American land tax. The loan was acquired
from Francis Hinton with the Rancho as collateral. Hinton was a native New Yorker who moved west as part of
the Boundary Commission Guard during the Mexican-American War. In 1865, Hinton took possession of the
former Rancho following the Marron family’s inability to repay the debt. With the help of Robert Kelly, a
partner and friend, Hinton managed the former rancho.xii In 1870, Hinton passed away leaving the Rancho
under the Robert Kelly family ownership.
Carlsbad’s modern development traces to the expansion of the California Southern Railroad in the 1880s.
Railroads transformed Southern California into a patchwork of small suburban and agricultural towns, with
Carlsbad positioned along the key north-south rail route. In 1883, a stop was established in the area for the

California Southern Railroad, known as Frazier’s Station. Soon thereafter John Frazier began selling high-
quality mineral water to passengers, sourced locally from a nearby well. In 1886, the Carlsbad Land and
Mineral Company was established and in September of that year, platted its “Map of Carlsbad.”xiii Recorded
as Map No.365 on February 2, 1887, the original 86-block townsite was roughly bounded by present-day Palm
Avenue, Beech Street, Interstate 5, and the Pacific Ocean. Named after Karlvoy Vary in Czech Republic, the
town quickly gained a reputation for its mineral water, which was marketed as medicinal.
Additional subdivisions were soon platted around the townsite, including J.A. Faucher’s Highland Addition to
Carlsbad (Map No. 541, Recorded 1888), Patterson’s Addition (Map No. 565, Recording date not identified), the
Sunny Slope Tract (Map No. 486, Recorded 1888 updated 1906), Mill’s Addition to Carlsbad (Map No. 514,
Recorded 1888), Cedar Hill Addition (Map No. 532, Recorded 1888), Carlsbad Ranch (Map No. 1637, Recorded
1914), and the South Coast Land Company’s Map of Carlsbad Lands (Map No. 1661, Recorded 1915).xiv By the
1920s, Carlsbad population had increased, supported by agricultural prosperity. In 1924, North Carlsbad and
the North Carlsbad Annex were platted as Map Nos. 1807 and 1888. In 1928, the Schell & Site’s Addition to
Carlsbad was platted as Map No. 2145. By 1926, the town’s population was recorded at approximately 1,500
residents.xv A large segment of the population were Mexican immigrants who had left Mexico during the
Mexican Revolution (1910-1920) and established El Barrio, the town’s first neighborhood. Into the 1930s, and
with a population of 1,500 people, the town was further subdivided to allow for the development of residential
tracts. This development, however, was stunted as the effects of the Great Depression rippled throughout
America in the 1930s.
In December of 1941, the cultural and economic climate changed again, when the United States was
catapulted into World War II. The development of suburban residential communities spread across the nation
in an effort to accommodate the workers in industrial hubs, as well as the relocation of military personnel. The
desperate need for workers and men to fight abroad meant that people all across the nation were moving
quickly and in large groups. In the post-World War II era, Carlsbad experienced a rapid increase in population
from the recorded 2,400 residents in 1940 to 4,383 residents in 1950.xvi
Commercial buildings and residential homes were requisitioned by the military to house military personnel as
well as equipment, and also served as training facilities. The bluffs along Terramar Beach were utilized as anti-
aircraft stations, a service station across the street from the Gerhard Schutte Residence was converted into a
military police station, and Hosp Grove provided space for the US Army to erect tent cities. xvii
As a result of the accelerated growth in what was then a suburban outpost of the City of San Diego, in 1952
citizens of Carlsbad approved municipal incorporation. By 1960, the population had again nearly doubled to
9,253. Carlsbad continued to expand from the 1960s onward, including the development of La Costa in 1972
located east of Batiquitos Lagoon, which resulted in additional population increases and a healthy economic
base for the City of Carlsbad. xviii Residential subdivisions, resort developments, and commercial centers
continued to expand eastward and southward throughout the 1980s and 1990s, transforming the city from an
agricultural and suburban community into a major coastal municipality. In 1999, the opening of LEGOLAND
California Resort further reinforced Carlsbad’s identity as a regional tourist destination. Today, the city is
characterized by a blend of historic coastal neighborhoods, master-planned residential communities, and a
diversified economy that includes technology, tourism, and light manufacturing. The current population is
approximately 114,746, reflecting its continued growth and development into the twenty-first century. xix
Palisades Tract (Map No. 01747)
The Palisades tract (Map No. 1747) was established in November 1922 by the South Coast Land Company and
the Security Trust & Savings Bank of Los Angeles, and the Oceanside Mutual Water Company.xx Located just

south of the boundary of the original Carlsbad Townsite, the tract extended beyond the historic core centered
around the California Southern Railroad station. The subdivision included Sycamore, Maple Avenue, Acacia,
Juniper, Hemlock, Redwood, Sequoia, Chinquapin, and Date Avenues, and comprised Blocks A through P,
each containing approximately 14 to 20 lots, ranging from 0.10 to 0.13 acres in size.xxi
Early advertisements promoted the Palisades as a modern residential subdivision offering well-built homes at
a reasonable price.xxii Despite its early establishment, the area saw limited initial development, and much of
the tract is absent from early Sanborn Fire Insurance Maps of Carlsbad.xxiii The first clear visual record appears
in a 1938 aerial photograph, which shows only a small number of single-family residences, with small-scale
agricultural uses located east of Garfield Street.xxiv
Substantial development of the Palisades did not occur until the post-World War II era (1950s-1970s), when
rising demand for housing and improved transportation infrastructure spurred residential infill throughout
Carlsbad. By the late twentieth century, the tract had transitioned into a predominately residential
neighborhood composed of single-family and multi-family dwellings, reflecting incremental suburban
expansion typical of mid-century coastal communities.
Minimal Traditional, 1935-1950
The Minimal Traditional style emerged during the economic Depression of the 1930s as an affordable and
practical response to the ornate period revival houses of the preceding decade. It reflected the forms of
traditional Eclectic styles, particularly Tudor Revival, Colonial Revival, and Spanish Colonial Revival, but with
little or no decorative detailing. This stylistic simplification aligned with the financial realities of the
Depression era and the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) push for modest efficient housing designs that
could be constructed quickly and affordably. The FHA’s minimum property standards and lending policies
favored small, single-family homes with simplified plans and limited ornamentation, encouraging builders to
produce designs that were both economical and familiar in form.xxv As a result, the style quickly spread
nationwide and became one of the dominant residential forms of the late 1930s and 1940s.xxvi
Architecturally, the Minimal Traditional style maintained the basic shapes and rooflines of earlier revival styles
but removed their elaborate ornamentation. Roof pitches were typically low or intermediate rather than steep,
echoing Tudor forms but without the elaborate half-timbering or brickwork. Eaves and rakes were close rather
than overhanging, distinguishing the style from the later Ranch house. Most examples featured at least one
front-facing gable and occasionally a large chimney, gestures that retained a sense of traditional
domesticity.xxvii These homes were constructed in large numbers immediately before and after World War II
and commonly dominated early suburban tract developments across the United States. Although most
Minimal Traditional style homes were small, one-story dwellings, built of wood, stucco, or stone, and
sometimes a mixture of these materials, two-story examples were not uncommon. The design’s restrained
character and economical construction made it especially adaptable to postwar suburban subdivisions, where
uniformity, affordability, and speed of construction were prioritized.
In Southern California, including coastal communities such as Carlsbad, the Minimal Traditional style became
one of the most prevalent forms of residential construction during the late 1930s and through the early 1950s.
The style served as a transitional link between the decorative revival styles of the interwar period and the low,
horizontal Ranch style that would soon dominate suburban landscapes. Its compact size, modest detailing,
and traditional massing suited the needs of a rapidly growing middle-class seeking affordable
homeownership during the postwar era.xxviii In Carlsbad and other North County communities, the style often
appeared as individual infill dwellings or small speculative tracts, reflecting the regions incremental suburban
expansion during the mid-twentieth century.

Typical character-defining features of the Minimal Traditional style include:
• Simple, box-like one-story massing with limited articulation
• Low-to-medium pitched gabled or hipped roofs with minimal overhangs
• Asymmetrical front façade with a modest porch, stoop, or recessed main entryway
• Front-facing gable or cross gable referencing earlier Tudor or Colonial influences
• Cladding of stucco, wood siding, or brick veneer, sometimes used in combination
• Wood sash or steel framed windows, typically double-hung or horizontal sliders
• Detached or attached single-car garage, often to the side or rear of the dwelling
• Minimal ornamentation, sometimes limited to shutters, shallow eave returns, or simplified trim
Ownership and Occupancy History
Property ownership and occupancy was established through historical research, review of City of Carlsbad
building permit records, and examination of public and newspaper archives. Based on available records,
development of the area dates to the 1920s with the establishment of the Palisades tract in 1922, though
construction activity was limited. The subject parcel was not improved until the post World War II era. In 1955,
the property was improved with a Minimal Traditional style residence and a detached garage by an
unidentified builder. Property ownership between 1955 and 1970 could not be verified through available city
directory records.
In 1971, the property was acquired by Gordon Lyle Bradley and his wife Cherie Kathleen “Katte” Polhamus
Bradley, longtime residents of the Carlsbad-Oceanside area.xxix Gordon Lyle Bradley was born on June 24,
1931, in North Dakota to Ralph Bradley and Myna Poppen.xxx He was a graduate of Oceanside-Carlsbad Union
High School and was a United States Navy veteran who served as a corpsman during the Korean War.
Following his military service, he was employed by the Pacific Telephone Company, serving as the Chief Line
Assigner for the company’s Mission Avenue branch, a position he held for 19 years.xxxi In 1950, Mr. Bradley
married Cherie Kathleen Polhamus of Carlsbad.xxxii Mrs. Bradley was born on December 4, 1932, in Los
Angeles County. Her family relocated to San Diego in the 1940s, where she later attended Oceanside-Carlsbad
College. Together the couple had two sons: Gordon P. Bradley (b.1955), and Treg R. Bradley (b.1968).xxxiii
In 1974, Mr. Bradley passed away at the age of 43. Mrs. Bradley retained ownership of the property and
continued to reside there with their sons.xxxiv City directory research indicates that several tenants occupied
the property intermittently after 1977. Sometime after 1986, Mrs. Bradley remarried Robert Miner who passed
away in 2003. xxxv The property remained within the Bradley family for several decades and was transferred to
her sons, Gordon and Treg, in 2022.
As of 2024, the property is owned by Brian and Julie Gotz Trust, under whose ownership it remains today.

B10. Significance (Continued from page 2):
3451 Garfield Street was analyzed for historical and architectural significance under the eligibility criteria of
the CRHR and Local Register. These eligibility criteria establish a threshold under which a property may be
determined to meet the definition of an historical resource for the purposes of CEQA and the local
discretionary review process.

Page 11 of 15
CRHR Criterion 1: It is associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns
of local or regional history, or the cultural heritage of California or the United States.
Local Register Criterion A: It exemplifies or reflects special elements of the city’s cultural, social, economic,
political, aesthetic, engineering or architectural history.
The 3451 Garfield Street property was constructed in 1955, during the period of post–World War II suburban
expansion in Carlsbad. While this period represents an important phase in the city’s overall growth, the
property does not appear to be directly or significantly associated with any major planning effort, subdivision
milestone, or residential development trend that would distinguish it from the numerous similar houses
constructed throughout Carlsbad during the 1950s and 1960s. The property’s association with the broader
pattern of postwar residential development is common and not unique, and no evidence indicates that it
played a noteworthy role in local or regional historical themes such as agriculture, transportation, or
community planning.
As a result, the property does not appear to be significantly associated with events that have contributed to
the broad patterns of local or regional history, and is therefore not eligible under CRHR Criterion 1 / Local
Register Criterion A.
CRHR Criterion 2: Associated with the lives of persons important to local, California, or national history.
Local Register Criterion B: It is identified with persons or events significant in local, state, or national history.
Research indicates that the 3451 Garfield Street property was occupied by Gordon Lyle Bradley and his wife
Cherie Kathleen “Katte” Polhamus Bradley beginning in 1971. Mr. Bradley was a longtime resident of the
Carlsbad–Oceanside area and served as a Chief Line Assigner for the Pacific Telephone Company, while Mrs.
Bradley was active in the local community and later maintained ownership of the property. Although the
Bradley’s were well-established local residents, no evidence was found to suggest that they were individuals
of historical importance or that their activities had a demonstrable influence on local, regional, or state
history.
The property is therefore not associated with the lives of persons important to local, California, or national
history, and it does not meet the significance threshold required for listing under CRHR Criterion 2 / Local
Register Criterion B.
CRHR Criterion 3: Embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, region, or method of
construction, or represents the work of a master or possesses high artistic values.
Local Register Criterion C: It embodies distinct characteristics of a style, type, period, or method of
construction, or is a valuable example of the use of indigenous materials or craftsmanship.
Constructed in 1955, the dwelling at 3451 Garfield Street is a modest example of the Minimal Traditional style,
a common residential form built throughout Southern California during the post–World War II era. While the
property retains its original massing, roof form, and general residential character, it does not display a high
degree of architectural distinction, craftsmanship, or design detailing representative of the style. The dwelling
lacks the level of integrity and workmanship necessary to convey architectural significance and is not the work
of a recognized architect or builder. In addition, alterations such as the installation of vinyl window units have
diminished its original design and materials.
As a result, the property does not embody the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of
construction to a degree that conveys significance and is not eligible under CRHR Criterion 3 / Local Register
Criterion C.

CRHR Criterion 4: Has yielded, or has the potential to yield, information important to the prehistory or history
of the local area, California, or the nation.
Local Register 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 property is unlikely to yield information important to the prehistory or history of Carlsbad, the state, or
nation. No known archeological or paleontological resources have been identified within the project site. The
property is not eligible under CRHR Criterion 4 / Local Register Criterion D.
Local Register 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 surrounding neighborhood does not constitute a geographically definable historic district. Although the
area contains some early residential buildings dating to the 1920s and 1930s, the majority of the surrounding
development consists of post-World War II single-family residences constructed between the 1950s and 1970s.
This mixture of building types, construction dates, and styles does not convey a unified historic period,
development pattern, or architectural character. For this reason, the 3451 Garfield Street property does not
appear eligible under Local Register Criterion E.
Integrity
Although the 3451 Garfield Street property retains a moderate degree of integrity, it has not been found
eligible for designation under any of the established California Register of Historical Resources (CRHR) or City
of Carlsbad Local Register criteria. The property is not associated with significant events or individuals, nor
does it embody distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction to a degree that
conveys significance. Given its lack of historical or architectural distinction further integrity analysis is not
warranted.

Regulatory Conclusions
The 3451 Garfield Street property is identified as not significant and is ineligible for CRHR listing and Local
Register designation. Accordingly, the property does not meet the definition of a historical resource pursuant
to the CEQA Guidelines.
The proposed project includes the demolition of the existing structures to allow for the construction of a new
two-story, single-family residence, totaling approximately 3,733 square feet, with a two-car garage, totaling
approximately 627 square feet. The new residence would reach a maximum building height of 29.3 feet above
finished grade. Additional site improvements include establishing a new pad grade, ranging from 0’-0” to 5’-
4” increase (east to west) above the existing grade.
Based on the findings of this evaluation, future discretionary projects, including the currently proposed
project, would not result in a significant impact to an historical resource pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section
15064.5. Consequently, because no impacts to historical resources have been identified, no mitigation
measures are required or recommended.

Wendy L. Tinsley Becker, RPH, AICP, Principal / Manager
Architectural Historian + Urban / Preservation Planner
wendy@urbanapreservation.com
Founding Principal, Wendy L. Tinsley Becker, RPH, AICP, brings an expert background in
American history, architecture, and urban planning, with a particular emphasis on issues
relating to historic preservation. Her experience includes extensive historical resources
survey work, design review under The Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for the Treatment
of Historic Properties, single-site historic property research and documentation, and
practice in municipal regulatory planning and cultural resources compliance issues
including code compliance, revision and review, CEQA, NEPA, and Section 106 of the
National Historic Preservation Act. As a preservation-planning consultant she participates
in the development and administration of local land use regulations, policies, programs and
projects; prepares reports involving research and analysis of various planning issues;
conducts site-specific project and design review; and facilitates project coordination
between contractors, architects, developers, citizens and other stakeholders. Wendy
meets the Secretary of the Interior's Historic Preservation Professional Qualifications
Standards in the disciplines of History and Architectural History and the draft standards
established for Historic Preservation and Land Use/Community Planning. She is included
on the California Council for the Promotion of History’s Register of Professional Historians
and also maintains professional certification in the American Institute of Certified Planners
(AICP).
Wendy is a co-author and editor of the AICP Certified Urban Designer Exam Study Guide
(V1.0) released in March 2016. From 2013 forward she has provided professional training
to AICP exam applicants as part of the American Planning Association California Chapter –
San Diego Section annual exam training program.
Wendy has assisted municipalities, utility providers, and lead agencies in preservation
planning program development and implementation efforts. She regularly consults for
private and agency applicants on historical resource and historic property analysis for
discretionary projects and undertakings pursuant to Section 106 of the National Historic
Preservation Act and the California Environmental Quality Act, as well as Federal
Rehabilitation Tax Credit proposals at National Register listed or eligible properties, which
are subject to review by the State Office of Historic Preservation and the National Park
Service. She was the author / facilitator and lead historic preservation consultant for the
City of Chula Vista’s award-winning Municipal Preservation Planning Program. She
authored the Historic Preservation Element for the City of La Mesa’s award winning 2011 /
2030 General Plan update process. She provides survey, architectural history, context
development, programmatic agreement, and historic preservation planning consulting
services for the Southern California Edison Company including preparation of a
programmatic guide for the treatment of all historic-era properties in the company’s
55,000 square mile service territory. She served as the lead Architectural Historian for the
City and County of Honolulu High-Capacity Transit Corridor Project’s Kako’o (Section 106
Programmatic Agreement Program manager) consultant team. Wendy’s professional
analysis and determinations are reviewed for compliance and concurrence by numerous
municipalities, and state and federal agencies including the California State Office of
Historic Preservation, the California Public Utilities Commission, the USDA Forest Service,
the Bureau of Land Management, and the National Park Service.
Her current interests include facilitating approvals for brick-and-mortar construction and
building rehabilitation projects, and working with community-based organizations that
emphasize public participation while striving for the improvement of the built environment
through good urban and architectural design and associated social programs.
