AB# 196-6 TITLE: CARRILLO RANCH/REQUEST FOR CALIFORNIA
~TG 1/15/96 HISTORICAL LANDMARK STATUS (ACTION)
JEPT CSD
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve in concept a request to apply for California Historic Landmark Status for the Carrillo
Ranch.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
Staff has been approached by a historic preservation organization (E Clampus Vitus) requesting
the City of Carlsbad consider an application by ECV to solicit a California Historic Landmark Status
for the Carrillo Ranch from the State Historic Resources Commission (Exhibit 1).
Prior to submittal of this request for City Council consideration; ECV is requesting the support of
both the Parks and Recreation Commission and the Historic Preservation Commission.
Although Carrillo Ranch is currently listed on the National register of Historic places, the California
Registered Historical Landmark program recognizes only those sites and structures of statewide
significance. According to the State Office of Historic Preservation the landmark program offers the
following effects of designation (Exhibit 2):
• Bronze plaque (underwritten by local sponsor), ordered through OHP; highway directional
sign available through local CALTRANS District office.
• Limited protection (environmental review may be required under CEQA, if property is
threatened by project). Contact local planning agency for further information.
• Local assessor may enter into contract with property owner for property tax reduction.
• Local building inspector must grant code alternatives provided under State historic
building code.
In terms of any restrictions that a State Historic Landmark Designation would impose upon the
Carrillo Ranch; the impacts would be no more than that which already exist under local ordinance.
In conversation with the project officer for the State Office of Historic Preservation, any restrictions
would be relegated to the local jurisdictions' Historic Preservation Ordinance. In 1986, the City
Council adopted Resolution 8922, which designated the Carrillo Ranch as an Historic Site (Exhibit
3), under the City's Historic Preservation Ordinance. In effect, the City 's designation imposed the
following restrictions which are perhaps more restrictive than those listed under both the National
Register of Historic Places or the California Historic Landmark Program. They are (Exhibit 4):
— Carlsbad Municipal Code
• Chapter 22.06 - Historic Resources, Historic Landmarks and Historic Districts
-22.06.030 Historic Landmark designation procedures
020
PAGE 2, AB #.
(F) Permits shall be required to work on a designated Historic Landmark a /
specified in Chapter 22.08 of this code.
• Chapter 22.08 - Permits and Permit Procedures
-22.08.010 Permits to work on Historic Resource, Historic Landmark or Historic
District
(A) It is unlawful for any person to tear down, demolish, construct, alter, remove or
relocate any improvement, or any portion thereof which has been designated a
historic landmark pursuant to the provisions of this Chapter, or which lies within
a historic district, or to alter in any manner any feature of such a historic
landmark, historic landmark site or improvement within a historic district without
first obtaining a permit in the manner provided in this chapter.
-22.08.050 Existing Improvements
All repairs, alterations, reconstructions, restorations or changes in use of
existing improvements shall conform to the requirements of the California
Historical Building Code.
Prior to City Council presentation, a formal application must be submitted by ECV. If the site is ,
selected to receive landmark status, a location for the construction of a monument and brass
plaque must be determined as well as the wording to appear on the plaque itself. Staff would
recommend returning to the Commission with that information as it becomes available. Both the
location and wording must be approved by the State office of Historic Preservation prior to
installation.
FISCAL IMPACT:
All cost associated with the proposed historic landmark designation will be assumed by the
nominating organization, E Clampus Vitus. The estimated cost of the bronze plaque and
supporting masonry monument (if required) is estimated between $5,000-$6,000. Selection of the
Carrillo Ranch for the California Historic Landmark Designation Program may enhance
opportunities for grant awards.

Myers-Capp House as designated historic sites, Resolution
No . scalavera School Site as point of historic interest.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
The Historic Preservation Commission has held public hearings
on the above listed sites and found they meet criteria for
historic site designation and historic point of interest.
Three (3) are City owned sites, the Depot, Magee House and
Carrillo Ranch. The Calavera Park Site is owned by Vernon
Savings and Loan Bank but has been irrevocably granted to the
City for development as a park site. The Culver-Myers-Capp
House located at 3140 Highland Drive is privately owned; the
owners have consented to designation for the exterior of the
structure (attachment 8) .
At your meeting of December 2, 1986, the Council took action
directing staff to proceed with development of Calavera Park
without preserving the school site (trees and cistern) .
Since this action would preclude designation as a historic
site, the Council may still designate the site as a historic
point of interest. This permits inclusion in the Historic
Resources Inventory, placement of markers and documentation
of the site.
Once a site has been designated, a permit from the Council is
required to alter the designated site in any way. Ordinary
maintenance is excluded from the permit procedure. The
ordinance also contains a hardship clause that enables the
Council to grant a permit for work on a designate structure
that under normal circumstances might not be issued.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW;
The Planning Director has determined that designation as
historic sites and points of interest do not require
environmental review.

velopment processing department upon prescribed
forms and shall include the following data:
(1) Name and address of property owner and
assessor's parcel number and address of site;
(2) Description of the proposed landmark, includ-

of the hearing shall be mailed, return receipt re-
quested, to the owner of the proposed landmark
property as shown on the last equalized assessment
role at least fourteen days prior to the date of the
public hearing. Failure to send notice by mail to any
property owner when the address of such owner is
not on the latest equalized assessment role shall not
invalidate any proceedings in connection with the
proposed designation.

historical landmark shall be forwarded to the build-
ing department and no building or demolition per-
mits for any alteration to any exterior architectural
feature of the proposed landmark shall be issued

by resolution make a report and recommendation to
the city council. If the commission determines that
the improvement does not meet landmark criteria,
the process shall terminate and the commission shall
notify the property owner and applicant of such
termination in writing within ten days of the
commission's determination. If the commission
determines that the resource warrants landmark
designation and the property owner has consented
to same in writing, then the commission shall sub-
mit a written recommendation to the city council
incorporating its reasons in support of the proposed
landmark designation. Without the property owner's
consent to the proposed designation, a site shall not
be designated a historic landmark. If the commission
determines that the improvement warrants inclusion
in the historic resource inventory or the owner has
not consented to designation as a historic landmark,
the commission may recommend that the resource
be designated a historic point of interest. feettQtal
