Memorandum

To: Laura Yanez, Project Engineer, City of Santa Barbara Public Works From: Susan Zamudio-Gurrola, MHP, Architectural Historian, Rincon Consultants, Inc. Date: April 8, 2019 Re: Olive Mill Road Roundabout Project Consistency of Historical Resources Evaluation Report (HRER) with the City of Santa Barbara Master Environmental Assessment (MEA) Guidelines for Archaeological Resources and Historic Structures and Sites (January 2002), Historic Structures/Sites Report Requirements

Introduction

Per the attached Historical Resources Evaluation Report (HRER) prepared for the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), the City of Santa Barbara (City) and County of Santa Barbara (County), with funding from the Federal Highway Administration, propose improvements to the intersection of Coast Village Road/North Jameson Lane/Olive Mill Road and U.S. 101 at post mile 10.5 by creating a new intersection configuration (project). The purpose of the project is to enhance traffic operations and safety for motor vehicle and active transportation users (pedestrians and bicyclists). The project will complete the proposed improvements included in the South Coast Route 101 High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) Lanes Project-North Segment, where the HOV Lanes Project will add a third lane to the mainline in both directions of travel. This project includes federal funding. A detailed project description is included as an attachment to this memorandum. Caltrans requires that all cultural resources within a project’s Area of Potential Effects (APE) be considered for direct and indirect impacts per Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA). The APE is the geographic area or areas within which an undertaking may directly or indirectly cause changes in the character or use of historic properties. Determination of the APE is influenced by the project’s setting, the scale and nature of the undertaking, and the different kinds of effects that may result from the undertaking (36 Code of Federal Regulations [CFR] 800.16[d]). Direct impacts typically include demolition or alteration of a historic property, while indirect effects might include visual, atmospheric, and auditory intrusions. As Caltrans is the agency responsible for ensuring compliance with federal regulations applicable to the project, Rincon Consultants, Inc. prepared an HRER following the content and format guidelines specified in the Caltrans Standard Environmental Reference (SER) Handbook, Vol. 2, Cultural Resources (January 2015). As a result, the HRER does not specifically follow the City of Santa Barbara Master Environmental Assessment (MEA) Guidelines for Historic Structures and Sites reports. However, the evaluation of buildings and structures that was completed for the HRER was conducted in a manner that is consistent with the City’s requirements. At the request of the City, Rincon Consultants prepared this memorandum to ensure that the Caltrans report prepared for the project is augmented to be consistent with the requirements of the MEA.

Portions of the project area have been subject to previous historic resource evaluations, completed by Caltrans, the City, and cultural resources consultants. Rincon’s work effort included the recordation and evaluation of eight resources and updating previous documentation for two resources to determine if earlier findings remained valid. Provided below are summaries from the HRER and information addressing those sections that are specific to the City’s requirements. A separate memorandum addresses the project’s Archaeological Survey Report (ASR) which describes the inventory of the archaeological resources within the area of direct impact as required by the MEA. A total of twelve historic-era properties are within the APE, six of which are located outside of the limits of the City of Santa Barbara and are not discussed further in this memorandum. Of the remaining six properties that are located in the City of Santa Barbara, one is the Montecito Inn, which was previously determined eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). Two other properties, the former Montecito Parkway and a bridge (Bridge No. 51-0031, Olive Mill Road Overcrossing), were previously determined not eligible for listing in the NRHP and are also not considered historical resources for the purposes of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

City of Santa Barbara Criteria for Designation of Landmarks and Structures of Merit

The City of Santa Barbara uses the following criteria to evaluate historic significance: (a) Its character, interest or value as a significant part of the heritage of the City, the State or Nation; (b) Its location as a site of a significant historic event; (c) Its identification with a person or persons who significantly contributed to the culture and development of the City, the State or the Nation; (d) Its exemplification of a particular architectural style or way of life important to the City, the State or the Nation; (e) Its exemplification of the best remaining architectural type in a neighborhood; (f) Its identification as the creation, design or work of a person or persons whose effort has significantly influenced the heritage of the City, the State or the Nation; (g) Its embodiment of elements demonstrating outstanding attention to architectural design, detail, materials or craftsmanship; (h) Its relationship to any other landmark if its preservation is essential to the integrity of that landmark; (i) Its unique location or singular physical characteristic representing an established and familiar visual feature of a neighborhood; (j) Its potential of yielding significant information of archaeological interest; (k) Its integrity as a natural environment that strongly contributes to the well-being of the people of the City, the State or the Nation (Chapter 22.22.040, City of Santa Barbara Municipal Code; Ord. 3900, ¶1, 1977).

Historic Structures/Sites Reports

The City’s Master Environmental Assessment Guidelines states that a Historic Structures/Sites Report is an investigation intended to accomplish the following: . Identify historical structures/sites on a proposed project site. . Assess the significance of identified historic structures and/or sites. . If significant historic resources are identified, evaluate potential project impacts to the significant historic resources. . If the proposed project may potentially result in adverse impacts to identified historic resources, propose measures to mitigate the potential adverse impacts.

Rincon Consultants assessed potential project impacts to historical structures using criteria specified in the MEA, classifying them as significant unavoidable (Class I), potentially significant unless mitigated (Class II), or less than significant (Class III). The Historical Resources Evaluation Report for the Olive Mill Road Roundabout Project, City and County of Santa Barbara, California (attached), details efforts to identify historical structures/sites on and adjacent to the project site and assess their historical significance. Per the requirements of the MEA, a site history with neighborhood historical context is included below, followed by a description of each of the historic-era properties that are located within and adjacent to the proposed project site.

3.1 Site History

3.1.1 Santa Barbara In 1851, Captain Salisbury Haley surveyed and laid out the streets of the City of Santa Barbara and by 1860 its population was over 2,300 people. Catastrophic drought during 1863-1864 ruined grazing lands and led to many rancheros losing or selling off their land, providing additional property for a growing population. The first wharf in the city was built at the foot of Chapala Street in 1869, followed by Stearns Wharf at the foot of State Street, built in 1872 (City of Santa Barbara 2016). Charles Nordhoff, a New York journalist, visited Santa Barbara in 1872 and extolled its merits, drawing many people to the city. By the following year Ventura County was created and separated from Santa Barbara County. The Southern Pacific Railroad arrived in Santa Barbara in 1887, which further advanced tourism and relocation to the area. That year the California land speculation boom peaked in the city. By 1890 the city’s population had grown to over 5,800 people (City of Santa Barbara 2016). Wealthy visitors were drawn to the area by the beautiful scenery, climate, and establishments such as the lavish Potter Hotel (Graffy 2010). In the early 1920s the Santa Barbara Community Arts Association organized a Plans and Planting division to focus on the beautification of the city. The City’s Planning Commission was also established, and Santa Barbara was one of the first cities in the country at the time to consider historic preservation during the planning process (City of Santa Barbara 2016). A major earthquake in 1925 damaged many structures in the city. The City’s first Architectural Board of Review was organized to review architectural plans for post-earthquake re-building. Since the 1920s, Spanish and traditional Mediterranean architectural styles have been advocated for building within the city (City of Santa Barbara 2016).

The city continued to expand over the following decades, benefitting from the discovery of a large off shore oil field in the late 1920s, the opening of a new airport in the Goleta area in the 1930s, and post- war population growth (City of Santa Barbara 2016; NETR Online 1947 and 1967). It was during the post- war era that the undeveloped land dividing the communities of Santa Barbara and Montecito was filled in by primarily residential development as the two communities grew (NETR Online, various).

3.1.2 Montecito Located just outside the City of Santa Barbara to the east, Montecito lies within an unincorporated portion of Santa Barbara County. Montecito’s first residential settlement consisted primarily of retired soldiers from the Santa Barbara Presidio. Among these early residents were prominent families such as the Juarez, Romero, Dominguez, Lopez, Ayala, Cota, Pollorena, Garcia, Gutierrez and Lorenzana families. The area where they settled is known as Old Spanish Town and is located just west of the intersection of East Valley and Hot Springs roads, extending to the east banks of Montecito Creek (Myrick 1987; Montecito Association 2011). By the mid-1800s, Anglo settlers began acquiring land in Montecito and the area’s character began changing. Montecito’s soil and climate were found to be excellent for growing fruit and vegetable crops, including grapes, citrus, almond and ornamental trees, and flowers (Myrick 1987; Mason 1883). The success of the Crocker-Sperry Ranch and the San Ysidro Ranch brought recognition to the Montecito Valley as a citrus producer (Montecito Association 2011). A small business area also developed near East Valley and San Ysidro roads consisting of a general store, blacksmith, butcher shop, and later, a post office, library, and community hall (Montecito Association 2011). Tourists also were lured to Montecito’s attractions which included an oversized grapevine known as La Parra Grande and hot springs that were alleged to have the ability to cure health ailments (Myrick 1987). Montecito’s rustic beauty enticed wealthy industrialists to return and build large winter estates in the Montecito Valley. Even wealthier “Hill Barons,” such as the DuPonts, Rockefellers, Carnegies, and McCormicks built mansions on hillsides and ridgelines, which possessed magnificent views. By the 1920s, Montecito had become known for its millionaire socialites and their parties, country clubs, polo, and tennis matches (Montecito Association 2011). Both the Biltmore Hotel and the Montecito Inn were developed in the late 1920s (Scott 1992). The Montecito Inn targeted wealthier automobile tourists, and the Biltmore Hotel was an upscale seaside resort (JRP Consulting 2009). During the 1920s, residents of Montecito became proactively engaged in the planning and growth of the community, creating the Montecito Protective Covenant, and drafting a land use ordinance which was adopted by the County Board of Supervisors in 1929 and was updated several times over the subsequent decades (County of Santa Barbara 1992). The Montecito Parkway was developed over a period of eleven years across approximately 1.6 miles of the community of Montecito. In 1937 the first portion was completed from Olive Mill Road to Miramar Avenue. Interrupted by World War II, the remaining section reaching Sheffield Drive was constructed in 1948. The parkway was intended to provide an attractive entry into the City of Santa Barbara, encourage traveling motorists to stop in the community, and improve local traffic conditions for those entering or crossing the highway. The parkway included the four-lane state highway (two lanes traveling in each direction separated by a median strip), and two parallel frontage roads on the north and the south sides of the highway with access to the highway at fixed intervals. However, just six years later, in 1955, the Montecito Parkway’s configuration and appearance was significantly altered when the state built the four-lane divided freeway; these alterations included depressing the roadway, removing intersections at Olive Mill and San Ysidro roads, constructing bridges over the freeway, re-routing its western terminus

Page 4

City of Santa Barbara Olive Mill Road Roundabout Project

further to the south, and constructing on- and off-ramps which caused the frontage roads to be realigned as well (Scott 1992; JRP Consulting 2009). Commercial development and other infrastructure developed in Montecito during the post-war years reflect the community’s growth. Its population tripled from 3,000 in 1928 to 9,500 by 1978. The Montecito Sanitary District was created in 1947 and its wastewater treatment plant was constructed in the 1961 (Gibbs 2008; Montecito Sanitary District 2009). Other developments included the Coast Village Road Shopping Center which was constructed in the 1960s (Gilbar 2015). However, the rapid growth of Montecito eventually led to concerns about the community’s character and its water, sewer and infrastructure capacities. Subsequently, local government took legislative action to limit permitted projects and slow growth through a Growth Management Plan (County of Santa Barbara 1992). Most recently, development has spread to the southeast and north into the mountains (Montecito Association 2011). Montecito was in the path of a fire that began on December 4, 2017 in central Ventura County and affected various communities in both Ventura and Santa Barbara counties. Known as the Thomas Fire, it burned 281,893 acres and became the largest fire in California’s modern recorded history. In addition to damaging or destroying over 1,300 structures, the fire damaged the watershed in Ventura and Santa Barbara counties. On January 9, 2018 a heavy rain event triggered debris flows and flash floods which destroyed 166 structures and damaged 395 more in Santa Barbara County, and killed 21 people in the community of Montecito (Lehenbauer, et. al. 2018). Since the disaster, hundreds of emergency rescue, cleanup, and rehabilitation crews have worked around the clock to remove the millions of pounds of mud and debris and restore and rebuild the community (Schmidt 2018).

3.1.3 Coast Village Road The commercial strip that today is known as Coast Village Road has its origins as a portion of the Old Coast Highway (aka Pacific Coast Highway or Route 1). The strip of road originally was located in an unincorporated part of the county and served as both a local connector road between Hot Springs and Olive Mill roads, and as an entry to the City of Santa Barbara (Hazard 2017). By the late 1920s early commercial ventures were developed near the intersection with Olive Mill Road. The small commercial hub formed by the early 1930s was composed of the Montecito Inn, the commercial buildings located adjacent on the west and across the street, and service stations at the corners (Beresford 2018). As described by one source, in its early years, this road was a “haphazard highway stop” with eateries, gas stations, and motor courts and motels (Hazard 2017). Through the late 1940s the section of Old Coast Highway west of Olive Mill Road was still sparsely developed on the north side of the road. Vacant lots were interspersed amid low-scale development, and the land was dotted with clusters of large trees (NETR Online 1947). Sherrill Broudy, a designer and architect who had moved to Santa Barbara in 1956, was largely responsible for the transformation of the strip into a unified shopping area. Broudy’s vision for the strip intended to change its character by applying a more defined architectural style and replacing the mixture of motor courts and eateries with more upscale retail operations. Starting in the mid-1950s he began acquiring property in the area, and designed projects such as the nine-unit Old Coast Apartments near the west end of the strip. He later sold the apartment building and bought property at the corner of Old Coast Highway and Hot Springs Road. In his effort to improve the area, Broudy appealed to other property owners on the strip to form the Coast Village Association, and he served as its president. Broudy began to work on a master plan of the area to guide its growth and development, and study how to relate the property to the larger communities of Santa Barbara and Montecito (Gilbar 2015).

Page 5

City of Santa Barbara Olive Mill Road Roundabout Project

In 1960, the City of Santa Barbara annexed the entire strip while offering to install a sewer system, which was greatly supported by the area business owners. That same year the thoroughfare’s name was changed from Old Coast Highway to Coast Village Road, after Broudy petitioned the City Council to do so (Gilbar 2015). Additional improvements to the road completed in 1968 included changing its plan to the present two lanes plus a parking lane and adding landscaped islands and signage. A smaller street called Coast Village Circle was created south of and parallel to Coast Village Road (Gilbar 2015). Branching off the main road, it led to parking spaces for businesses on the southern side of the road and allowed for better traffic flow on the main road. Broudy’s property at the corner of Hot Springs Road was sold to Ray Conners, Jr. who developed the Coast Village Road Shopping Center on it and the adjacent property in the early to mid-1960s (Gilbar 2015; NETR Online 1967). Over the years, Broudy bought additional property on Coast Village Road where he developed the Villa Fontana apartments and an office building which headquartered his architectural ornament manufacturing company, Forms & Surfaces (Gilbar 2015). By the late 1960s the strip was mostly developed and appeared much like it does today (NETR Online, various).

3.2 Field Inventory

A total of six properties are located within the City of Santa Barbara in the project architectural study area, two of which are located within the direct project footprint (direct APE). Three properties (Montecito Inn, Montecito Parkway, and Bridge #51-0031) have been previously evaluated for historic significance. Rincon updated previous documentation for the Montecito Inn and Montecito Parkway, and recorded and evaluated three new resources (1284 Coast Village Road, 1286-1292 Coast Village Road, and the Coast Village Road sign). Each of the properties is identified in the HRER and further described on the appropriate California Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) inventory forms: Primary Records (DPR 523A), Building, Structure, and Object Records (DPR 523B), Location Maps and Continuation Sheets (DPR 523L). The table and sections below summarize the findings for each resource and its relationship to the project Area of Potential Effects (APE).

Within Direct/ Potential Mitigation Property Identified Indirect APE Level of Significance Impact Proposed Montecito Inn, 1295 Coast Village Road Indirect NRHP eligible; locally designated Class III No 1284 Coast Village Road Indirect Not significant None No 1286-1292 Coast Village Road Indirect NRHP eligible; locally eligible Class III No Montecito Parkway Direct Not significant None No Bridge #51-0031 (Olive Mill Road Direct Not significant None No Overcrossing) Coast Village Road sign Direct Not significant None No

In the following section, each resource is identified, assessed for significance, and evaluated for impacts.

3.2.1 Montecito Inn, 1295 Coast Village Road

Architectural Description Located at the southwest corner of the intersection of Coast Village and Olive Mill roads is the Montecito Inn, a three-story hotel building completed in 1928 (Figure 1). The Montecito Inn was designed by noted architect Edward L. Mayberry in the Spanish Colonial Revival Style. It features a ground-level parking garage accessed via a segmental arch opening, a four-story hipped roof tower, smooth stucco exterior, hipped and flat roofs covered with red barrel tile, arcaded exterior walkways, a variety of multi-light double-hung and casement windows, shutters, and metalwork in the form of railings and fire escapes. Located at the end of Coast Village Road’s commercial strip, the Montecito Inn marks the eastern gateway into the City of Santa Barbara (Coast Village Road was annexed into the city in the 1950s). The property is considered by the City one of the few prominent and noteworthy historic buildings on Coast Village Road (Hernandez 2017). The property is located outside of the direct project footprint within the indirect APE.

Figure 1 Montecito Inn, North Elevation, View Southeast, February 7, 2018

Previous Evaluations The property was evaluated in 1991-1992 and was found ineligible for inclusion in the NRHP due to alterations and a loss of integrity (Kane, Crockett and Scott 1991; Scott 1992). The State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) concurred with the finding in 1993 (Craigo 1993). The property was re- evaluated in 2008 by JRP Historical Consulting as part of the South Coast 101 HOV Lanes Project. JRP Historical Consulting found that the building retained sufficient integrity to convey its significance and found it eligible for the NRHP and CRHR for its Spanish Revival style architecture, for its association with the Santa Barbara area’s tourism and hotel boom in the years following the 1925 earthquake, and the trend of roadside accommodations for motor tourists. In 2011 the SHPO concurred with this finding

Page 7

City of Santa Barbara Olive Mill Road Roundabout Project

(Donaldson 2011). The City of Santa Barbara determined that the property is also eligible for local listing and the property was designated as a City Structure of Merit on November 29, 2017 (Hernandez 2017; City of Santa Barbara 2018).

Existing Conditions A few alterations have been made to the building since it was last evaluated by the City and designated as a Structure of Merit in 2017. Because the property was in the path of the debris flow that occurred in Montecito in January 2018, some repairs were necessary, which were completed in early 2018. These included: repairs to the exterior plaster, re-painting, repair of the parking garage, and replacement of landscaping and the entrance drive (Palminteri 2018; Copus 2018). In addition, City building permit records show that in 2017 some interior tenant improvements were conducted, trash bins were relocated on the site, and antennas and remote radio units were installed on the property. In 2018 an entry awning was replaced, and a 16 square foot non-illuminated sign was screen printed on a new canvas awning above the front entryway (City of Santa Barbara, various). These repairs and alterations do not affect the previous finding of eligibility. There is no additional information to suggest that the property is no longer eligible for listing in the NRHP or as a City Structure of Merit.

Impacts The Montecito Inn’s significance is derived from its Spanish Revival architectural style, and from its association with significant historical events – it was part of the Santa Barbara area’s tourism and hotel construction boom in the years immediately following the 1925 earthquake and was part of the trend of providing roadside accommodations tailored specifically to motoring tourists. Despite the known additions and alterations to the building, it was found to retain enough integrity to convey its historical significance. The building has largely retained its original layout, massing, fenestration patterns, and the majority of its character-defining features, which were defined as: the hipped tile roof; columned, arched arcade; eight-over-eight double-hung windows; multi-paned and arched first floor windows; tower in the northeast corner; and underground parking garage. The major construction elements of the proposed project are located at the intersection of Coast Village and Olive Mill roads. The subject property is not within the direct project footprint but is located in the Indirect APE. Elements of the project which would be completed adjacent to the subject property include widening of the sidewalk to create a “bulb-out”, and the addition of a bicycle lane. The project also proposes to slightly re-align the two lanes of Coast Village Road located north of the subject property and re-configure the island between those two lanes. As designed, the project would result in no direct impact to the Montecito Inn. The project would not affect the function or design of the historic building. It would not alter any of the Montecito Inn’s character-defining features or affect the Montecito Inn such that the building will no longer retain its historic character. Changes to the setting caused by the project would have no effect on the significance or eligibility of the historical resource. The Montecito Inn’s surroundings have been continuously improved and altered over the years to accommodate the original at-grade state highway, the early business development of the area, the depressed freeway constructed in the mid-twentieth century, and the Coast Village Road commercial strip as it was revamped in the 1960s. The proposed project would follow previous efforts to enhance the thoroughfare and intersection for motorists, pedestrians, and bicyclists. The indirect impact to the Montecito Inn by a visual change to its setting would be considered less than significant (Class III).

3.2.2 1284 Coast Village Road

Architectural Description The property at 1284 Coast Village Road is a 0.08-acre rectangular parcel (APN 009-230-032) containing a one-story commercial building constructed in the Spanish Revival style (Figure 2). Rectangular in plan, the building has no setback from the public right-of-way. The southern end of the building and its façade are covered by a sloped roof clad with red barrel tile, while the rear approximately 2/3 of the building is covered by flat roofs. Its symmetrical façade is divided into two bays which reflect two storefronts, and evenly spaced exposed rafter tails span the width of the façade underneath the roofline. Each of the two storefronts includes a centered, recessed entry door flanked by large, single-pane, wood sash windows, under which are bulkheads with raised, rectangular center panels. Beyond this general symmetry, the two storefronts have several differences. The western entrance is accessed via a concrete stoop featuring large, rectangular, beige tiles and an iron railing. Its single entry door appears to be wooden with two square glass panes. The eastern entrance is accessed via two steps covered with square beige tiles. Its single wooden entry door has four panels and a mail slot. The western storefront features a transom above the entrance and display windows, while the eastern storefront does not. A black fabric awning is mounted over each storefront. No landscaping was noted on the property. The property is located outside of the direct project footprint and in the indirect APE.

Figure 2 1284 Coast Village Road, South Elevation, View Northeast, February 7, 2018

Property History Original permits were not located, and the original property owner, architect and builder were not ascertained. A review of historic aerial photographs, City directories, and Sanborn maps indicates that the building was constructed between 1931 and 1939 (Beresford 2018; Santa Barbara Directory Co. 1939; Sanborn Fire Insurance Co. 1942). The earliest record of a permit on file, granted to H.G. Sartwell,

Page 9

City of Santa Barbara Olive Mill Road Roundabout Project

dates to April 15, 1937; however, it does not state a description of the work. The name may have been misspelled as H.J. Sartwell was listed in the 1938 City directory as operating a beauty shop at 1139 Coast Highway. This may have been a previous or an alternate address for the subject property. Before Coast Village Road was named as such, it was part of the Coast Highway. Sanborn Fire Insurance maps show the subject property was addressed as 1135-1137 Coast Highway in 1942 (Sanborn Fire Insurance Co. 1942). Early tenants identified in 1939 include an individual named P.M. Myers and a gift shop called Marshall Neal & Co. At the time, Dorothy Knight operated the shop. A few years later, in 1941, Dorothy and her husband George C. Knight operated the Villa Rosa Shop, which sold antiques, gifts, linens and silverware, within the same building. Glenn Morrey appears to have taken over the gift shop which remained at the location through at least 1951. Morrey applied for a permit to build a warehouse on the property in 1945. Additional tenants throughout the years have included: Louis Miratti, Jr. who owned the El Camino Pharmacy (located at the adjacent property to the east); C.H. Benoist who worked in real estate; Marian deGruchy, a draftsman; a watch/jewelry shop; auto repair shops; clothing, antiques, toy and lingerie stores; and offices for American Title & Escrow, Fidelity National Title & Escrow Company and Coldwell Banker. The address appears to have been changed to 1284 Coast Village Road by 1961 (Santa Barbara Directory Co., various; R.L. Polk & Co., various). Between 1979 and 1991 the property owner on record alternated between Santana Properties, Santana Realty, Ana Bacotich, and 1284 Associates or 1284 Partners. By 2004 the owner was listed as the Edwin B. and Mary Ellen Bishop Trust. In 2006 the owners were listed as either Bishop Bypass Trust or Jim Dykstra. Teresa McWilliams obtained the property by 2015 (City of Santa Barbara, various). Permitted alterations to the building include: canvas awnings with metal supports installed in 1980, a reinforced concrete block wall constructed at the rear property line in 1984, possible replacement of the storefront window(s) in 1986, wooden molding applied across the façade above the windows in 1991, awning replacements in 2004 and 2015, roof tile replacement in 2006, and various signs have been added and removed over the years. It is likely that the eastern storefront once had a transom above the entrance and display windows, similar to what exists on the western storefront. Although not reflected in building permit records, one of the transoms may have been filled in. Additionally, the steps leading to the two entrances on the façade differ in size, design and materials; these alterations were also not documented in building permit records.

Previous Evaluations No previous evaluations were identified for the subject property.

Federal and State Eligibility The subject property was not found eligible for the NRHP or the CRHR under any criteria.

Local Eligibility

Criterion a: Its character, interest or value as a significant part of the heritage of the City, the State or Nation. The property does not have associations that are significant to the heritage of the City, State, or nation. Although it is associated with the commercial development of this segment of the state highway (later becoming Coast Village Road), it is not a significant example of an early commercial property. Available

Page 10

City of Santa Barbara Olive Mill Road Roundabout Project

records indicate that the building was constructed in approximately 1937-1938, a decade after the first commercial structure at this intersection was built (the Montecito Inn). The property does not appear to be eligible for designation as a City Landmark under Criterion a.

Criterion b: Its location as a site of a significant historic event. Research did not indicate that the property is associated with, or is the site of, any significant historic events, thus the property does not appear to be eligible for listing under Criterion b.

Criterion c: Its identification with a person or persons who significantly contributed to the culture and development of the City, the State or the Nation. Research did not indicate that the property is directly associated with any persons who significantly contributed to the culture and development of the City, State or, nation. No consequential information was found on any of the property owners or tenants. Therefore, the property does not appear to be eligible under Criterion c.

Criterion d: Its exemplification of a particular architectural style or way of life important to the City, the State or the Nation. The subject property does not exemplify a particular architectural style. It is a modest example of a small commercial building, and the only features that evoke the Spanish Revival style are the smooth stucco exterior and red barrel tile on a small portion of the roof. Additionally, the building’s façade has been altered over the years. Therefore, the property does not appear to be eligible for listing under Criterion d.

Criterion e: Its exemplification of the best remaining architectural type in a neighborhood. As discussed above, the subject property does not exemplify a particular architectural style. It may evoke some basic features of the Spanish Revival style, but there are other, better examples of Spanish Revival style buildings in the immediately surrounding area, such as the property directly across the street and the property adjacent to the east. The subject property is not the best remaining example of an architectural type in the neighborhood and is not eligible for listing under Criterion e.

Criterion f: Its identification as the creation, design or work of a person or persons whose effort has significant influenced the heritage of the City, the State or the Nation. A review of available records and archival research did not indicate that the architect or contractor of the building was significant or influential in the heritage of the City, State, or nation. The property does not appear to be eligible for listing under Criterion f.

Criterion g: Its embodiment of elements demonstrating outstanding attention to architectural design, detail, materials or craftsmanship. As a modest example of a commercial building with minimal characteristics of the Spanish Revival style, the property is not an outstanding example of architectural design. It does not exhibit any distinctive architectural features, details or materials, nor does its construction demonstrate outstanding craftsmanship. The property does not appear eligible for listing under Criterion g.

Page 11

City of Santa Barbara Olive Mill Road Roundabout Project

Criterion h: Its relationship to any other landmark if its preservation is essential to the integrity of that landmark. The nearest City-designated site is the Montecito Inn, a Structure of Merit that is located across the street on the south side of Coast Village Road. Preservation of the subject property is not essential to the integrity of that landmark. Therefore, the subject property is not eligible under Criterion h.

Criterion i: Its unique location or singular physical characteristic representing an established and familiar visual feature of a neighborhood. The building on the subject property does not occupy a unique location. Although the building could be considered a familiar and established visual feature of the neighborhood, because of its alterations, it does not retain a singular physical characteristic that would make it significant to the streetscape. Therefore, the property does not appear eligible under Criterion i.

Criterion j: Its potential of yielding significant information of archaeological interest. This criterion is not applicable under the scope of this report.

Criterion k: Its integrity as a natural environment that strongly contributes to the well- being of the people of the City, the State or the Nation. The subject property is fully developed and not a natural environment; therefore, this criterion is not applicable.

Integrity The building on the subject property has not been moved and thus retains integrity of location. The property’s integrity of design, workmanship and materials has been diminished due to various alterations, many of which are prominent on the façade. These include: the apparent enclosure of the transom on the eastern storefront; alteration of the two sets of steps leading to the two entrances on the façade (they differ in size, design and materials); wooden molding applied across the building façade above the windows in 1991; and possible replacement of storefront windows in 1986 (based on permit records). The property’s integrity of setting has been somewhat affected by the conversion of the former state highway into what is today a more densely urbanized commercial thoroughfare. Its integrity of feeling and association has also been somewhat affected due to its change of use from various early commercial uses (e.g. beauty shop, gift/antique, clothing, toy and lingerie stores) to office use.

Impacts The subject property is not eligible for federal, state, or local designation; therefore, it is not considered a historical resource for the purposes of CEQA. The proposed project would have no impact to historical resources on this property.

3.2.3 1286-1292 Coast Village Road

Architectural Description The property at 1286-1292 Coast Village Road (APN 009-230-031) is a 0.16-acre parcel containing three office buildings, two fronting Coast Village Road and one at the rear northeast corner of the property (Figure 3). The original, main building was constructed in 1929 featuring elements of the Spanish and Monterey Revival styles and is composed of a two-story section covered by hipped roofs, and a one- story section covered by a shed roof at the front and a flat roof at the rear. The flat roof supports a deck with a railing along its perimeter. Roofs are clad with red barrel tile. A second-story balcony with a wooden railing wraps around the façade and west elevation of the main building and is sheltered by the broadly overhanging hipped roof which is supported by square wooden posts with carved brackets. Exposed rafter tails with carved ends are visible beneath the balcony. Exterior staircases are located north and west of the main building. At the ground story, the façade is separated into three bays by engaged pilasters. Clad in smooth stucco, its fenestration includes multi-paned bay and casement windows which appear to be non-original wood sash. The single entry doors facing Coast Village Road appear to be non-original wooden doors with glazing above rectangular panels. The doors are surrounded by casing and topped by broken pediments. Black awnings are mounted across the façade of the main building, sheltering the bay windows. To the west of the main building is a walkway followed by a second, narrow, one-story building constructed in 1946 (Figure 4). The entry to the walkway is gated and is framed by the buildings and a parapet wall above, on which the words “Paseo El Camino” are painted. A third building at the rear of the property is not visible from the public right-of-way; it was originally built between 1938 and 1942 and later enlarged. Based on a photo in the City permit file, it is one-story and clad with stucco. Its main entrance is recessed beneath a roof overhang supported by wooden post and lintel. Its roof is oddly configured, likely the result of a shed roof that has been extended over the years. The roof also features exposed rafter tails and is clad with barrel tile. A wide set of rounded steps covered with various types of tile leads to the main entrance which consists of multi-paned French doors flanked by similar multi- paned windows. No landscaping was noted from the public right-of-way, and the City permit file photos show a central paved courtyard area between the buildings. The property is located outside of the direct project footprint and in the indirect APE.

Property History Built in 1929 as a store and apartments for Wright Nelson Whittemore and Dr. Eugene H. Lyman, the wood-frame and stucco building was valued at $20,000. Whittemore came to Santa Barbara from Detroit; he worked in real estate and crafted jewelry (Los Angeles Times 1927; City Directories, various; Lapidary Journal Inc. 1947). Lyman was a dentist, and both men’s offices were on Santa Barbara’s State Street at one time (City Directories, various). The building was designed by Henry W. Howell (who is on the City of Santa Barbara’s list of local master architects and designers) and was constructed by Elmer Whittaker (City of Santa Barbara, various). Howell had worked as a junior architect/partner in the well- known firm of Edwards, Plunkett & Howell for three years, but left the firm by 1929 (Post/Hazeltine 2005). Whittaker, the building contractor, was also a well-known Santa Barbara resident who had arrived in the city in 1911 and first worked as a manual arts teacher, then in construction. He retained a significant amount of work in the years following the devastating 1925 earthquake; it has been estimated that he worked on approximately 200 homes and commercial buildings. Whittaker is probably best known for acquiring the Cañedo adobe, a former soldier’s home located on the grounds of the Royal Spanish Presidio of Santa Barbara, and rehabilitating it into his residence. Working on various other significant buildings in the city such as the Trussell-Winchester adobe, the Charles Fernald mansion, and the Santa Barbara Historical Museum, he made a name for himself in the field of historic preservation (Redmon 2013). Louis Miratti and his family occupied the upper floor shortly after the building was constructed, and Miratti operated a drugstore on the first floor (U.S. Department of Commerce 1930; Crabtree 2017). Louis Miratti Sr. was an Italian who emigrated to Santa Barbara while in his early 20s. Miratti Sr. started in the pharmacy business in 1912 with the Santa Barbara Drug Company, followed by the Columbia Drug Company which was located on State Street and then on Victoria Street. His son Louis Miratti Jr. later became a registered pharmacist (S.J. Clarke Publishing Co. 1927). As seen in an aerial photo from 1931, the subject property originally was developed with the main building which features a central two-story and an eastern one-story element (Beresford 2018). Additional tenants in the early 1930s included Leland Schaller’s cleaning and pressing, and S.T. Van Dusen’s antique shop (City Directories, various). A detached accessory building with a square plan appears to have been built to the rear of the main building between 1938 and 1942. By 1942 a small square addition appears to have been built at the southwest corner of the building. At this time the building was addressed as 1141, 1143 and 1145 Coast Highway (UCSB Map and Imagery Lab 1938; Sanborn Fire Co. 1942). In 1945 Miratti obtained a permit to lengthen the small storeroom building at the rear of the property. The following year, in 1946, Miratti, Jr., obtained a permit to construct an office: the narrow one-story building on the western end of the parcel. This effectively created the passageway between it and the main building. However, the passageway was not as long as it appears today because the footprint of the western office building was originally 12’x40’ (later enlarged). The original architect for this building was Chester Carjola (City of Santa Barbara, var.). Carjola was an architect who worked primarily in Santa Barbara from the 1930s through the mid-1960s. Born in Minnesota, he received a B.A. in architecture from the University of Minnesota in 1928. He moved to Santa Barbara in 1930 with his wife Jean and worked first as a draftsman, then established his own practice. One of his early residential commissions was for the Waters Jr. House, an English Tudor Revival style home built in Montecito in 1932. Carjola designed buildings in various period revival styles that were popular at the time. Some of his better-known works include the Fleischmann Auditorium at the Santa Barbara Natural History Museum, a library and a planetarium for the Natural History Museum,

Page 15

City of Santa Barbara Olive Mill Road Roundabout Project

and the library at University of California, Santa Barbara. Carjola was joined by a partner, Frank Greer, in approximately 1960 (Post/Hazeltine Associates 2015). It appears that Miratti sold the El Camino Pharmacy around the late 1940s to early 1950s, but the pharmacy continued to operate at the subject property for many more years. By 1954 Miratti was reportedly operating San Ysidro Pharmacy in Montecito’s Upper Village (Crabtree 2017). That same year, the new owner of the subject property, James H. Lewis, obtained a building permit to complete alterations on the main building’s façade, described as “alteration of front - square arches & alter show windows”. By this time, the storeroom building at the rear of the property had been further expanded into an L-shaped structure. The following year a Pacific Telephone Co. substation/repeater station was built on the rear of the lot (City of Santa Barbara, var.). Additional alterations were completed to the property during the 1960s: in 1961 the small western building was enlarged by 12’ towards the rear of the property; in 1964 a door opening was created on the east side of the main building; in 1965 the storeroom building was enlarged with an 8’x20’ addition. In approximately 1968 a portion of the main building’s second floor (interior) was converted from residential use to office use, although this was not legalized until the late 1980s (City of Santa Barbara, var.). By the late 1970s, the property owner was listed as Leone H. Murphy. During Murphy’s ownership, substantial work was completed which has included: repairs to an exterior stairway in 1979; in 1984 portions of the west wall and roof of the rear building were removed, a portion of the roof on the eastern end of the main building was converted into a deck for tenants’ use, the interior courtyard was paved with concrete, structural modifications were made to the northwest corner of the main building (details were not given), the western building was converted into restaurant space; in 1985 the pharmacy space was remodeled into office space after El Camino Pharmacy vacated the premises, new window openings were created in the eastern wall of the main building, an exterior staircase at the main building was built, approximately 50 sq. ft. of patio/planter space and a fountain were constructed in the central courtyard area, and a covered porch was added to the rear building. In 1988 the restaurant space in the western building was converted back into retail space (City of Santa Barbara, var.). A variety of commercial tenants have occupied the three buildings over the years, including the El Camino Pharmacy, Cito’s Restaurant, retail stores The Missing Piece, Memaw’s Gift Store, Discoveries Fine Gifts, Lewis & Clark, and a wine store, and offices for Sears Realty, Prudential Realty, and Coldwell Banker (City of Santa Barbara, var.; City Directories, var.). The subject property is not associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the patterns of national history. However, the original, main building on the property is a fairly intact example of the earliest commercial development during the late 1920s of this section of the Old Coast Highway, part of the state highway also known as Route 101; therefore, the building is found to be significant for its association with the early 20th century growth and development of the Montecito community. Another extant building at this intersection from the same time period, and which retains integrity, is the Montecito Inn which was constructed one year earlier in 1928 and is located directly across the street. At the time of their construction, these two buildings were prominent at the intersection of Coast Highway and Olive Mill Road. The commercial development that began from that intersection towards the west defined the eastern entrance into the City of Santa Barbara and provided services to the local Montecito community as well as traveling motorists. Over the subsequent decades, both sides of the road continued to develop into the commercial strip that exists today.

Previous Evaluations No previous evaluations were identified for the subject property.

Federal and State Eligibility The subject property was evaluated as a part of this undertaking and found eligible for listing in the NRHP and CRHR at the local level of significance with one contributing building: the original, main two- story building fronting Coast Village Road. As a whole, the property’s integrity of design, workmanship and materials has been affected due to the additional development and subsequent alterations that occurred within the subject property through the 1980s. Because the rear and western buildings on the property were built approximately 10 and 17 years (respectively) after the original building, and were later enlarged and altered, they do not contribute to the property’s significance. However, the alterations to the original, main building have not markedly diminished its integrity or its ability to convey its historical significance as an extant example of one of the earliest commercial buildings on the Old Coast Highway in Montecito. Individually, the original, main building appears to retain sufficient integrity to be eligible for listing in the NRHP and CRHR at the local level of significance under Criteria A/1 for its association with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of local or regional history. Archival research did not uncover direct associations with any persons significant in our past. One of its original owners, Wright Nelson Whittemore, was a successful businessman whose family appeared frequently in the society pages; however, he does not appear to have made any substantial contributions in national, state or local history. Although the property was owned for some time by Louis Miratti, a well-known local resident and pharmacist, Miratti also owned or operated pharmacies at other locations such as on State Street and in Montecito’s Upper Village. Therefore, the property is not eligible under Criteria B/2. As a whole, the property does not have distinctive merit for an architectural type, period or method of construction. It does not have a holistic or cohesive design as the three buildings and hardscape elements were constructed at different times between 1929 and the 1980s. While the commercial complex aims to achieve the characteristic Santa Barbara Spanish style, the rear building’s current appearance is the result of additions and alterations, as it originally was built as a storeroom and later converted to office space. The western building, with a diminutive 12’ wide façade, features only the most basic character-defining features of the Spanish Revival style. Various alterations and additions that have been made to the buildings over the years in response to the needs of changing owners and tenants have reduced the property’s integrity of design, workmanship and materials. As a result, the property as a whole does not represent the work of a master or possess high artistic values. Individually, the main building retains sufficient integrity to be recognizable to its original appearance and convey its historical significance. Built in 1929, it exemplifies the architectural style that was embraced by the city following the 1925 earthquake and which established the city’s unique identity. The main building is significant within a local context as an early example of this type and period of construction in Montecito. Its character-defining features reflect the Spanish and Monterey Revival styles and include smooth stucco cladding, hipped and shed roofs clad with barrel tile, wooden balcony with carved brackets and carved rafter tails, a three-bay façade with engaged pilasters, and wood-sash multi-paned windows and wooden doors. Therefore, the main building is also recommended eligible under Criteria C/3. Alterations to the building have been minor and include: creation of a new door opening and new window openings on the east side of the building; creation of a deck on a flat-roofed area; construction of an exterior staircase; undefined work on the square arches and windows on the façade, and structural modifications to the north-west corner.

Page 17

City of Santa Barbara Olive Mill Road Roundabout Project

The property does not represent a significant and distinguishable entity whose components lack individual distinction. Much of the commercial development along Coast Village Road west of the subject property was developed between the 1950s and 2000s, decades after the contributing building (the original, main building) on the subject property was constructed. The immediately surrounding properties on Coast Village Road include a property currently under construction with a new development and several altered commercial buildings, many of which have been previously evaluated and recommended ineligible for the NRHP. These include 1101, 1277-1279 and 1269-1275 Coast Village Road, which were evaluated in 1992 by Gloria Scott for Caltrans as part of the Carpinteria-Santa Barbara Median Widening and Interchange Project. During this study, Scott identified three potential NRHP- eligible districts which SHPO concurred with; however, no potential districts were identified along Coast Village Road. In 2009, as part of the South Coast 101 High Occupancy Vehicle Project, JRP Historical Consulting completed an HRER which reassessed the inventory and evaluations in the 1992 study. This effort included a re-evaluation of the Montecito Inn at 1295 Coast Village Road. JRP Historical Consulting did not identify any potential historic district in the vicinity. Consultation with the City of Santa Barbara’s urban historian indicates that no potential district is believed to exist on Coast Village Road. Finally, there is no information to indicate that the property has the potential to yield information important to prehistory or history (Criteria D/4).

Local Eligibility

Criterion a: Its character, interest or value as a significant part of the heritage of the City, the State or Nation. As an extant example of one of the earliest commercial buildings on the Old Coast Highway in Montecito, the original main building is associated with the early twentieth century growth and development of the community. One other extant building at this intersection from the same period is the Montecito Inn, which was constructed one year earlier in 1928, and is located directly across the street. These two buildings were prominent at the intersection of Coast Highway and Olive Mill Road. The commercial development that began from that intersection towards the west defined the eastern entrance into the City of Santa Barbara and provided services to the local Montecito community as well as traveling motorists. Over the subsequent decades, both sides of the road continued to develop into the commercial strip that exists today. Therefore, the subject property has character, interest and value as a significant part of the heritage of the city, and is eligible for designation under Criterion a.

Criterion b: Its location as a site of a significant historic event. Research did not indicate that the property is associated with, or is the site of, any significant historic events, thus the property does not appear to be eligible for listing under Criterion b.

Criterion c: Its identification with a person or persons who significantly contributed to the culture and development of the City, the State or the Nation. The subject property is not known to be directly associated with any persons significant in our past. One of its original owners, Wright Nelson Whittemore, was a successful businessman whose family appeared frequently in the society pages; however, he does not appear to have made any substantial contributions in national, state or local history. Although the property was owned for some time by Louis Miratti, a well-known local resident and pharmacist, Miratti also owned or operated pharmacies at other locations such as on State Street and in Montecito’s Upper Village. Therefore, the property does not appear to be eligible under Criterion c.

Page 18

City of Santa Barbara Olive Mill Road Roundabout Project

Criterion d: Its exemplification of a particular architectural style or way of life important to the City, the State or the Nation. As a whole, the subject property does not exemplify a particular architectural style or way of life important to the City, State or Nation. It does not have a holistic or cohesive design as the three buildings and hardscape elements were constructed at different times between 1929 and the 1980s. While the commercial complex aims to achieve the characteristic Santa Barbara Spanish style, the rear building’s current appearance is the result of additions and alterations, as it originally was built as a storeroom and later converted to office space. The western building, with a diminutive 12’ wide façade, features only the most basic character-defining features of the Spanish Revival style. Various alterations and additions have been made to the buildings over the years in response to the needs of changing owners and tenants. However, individually, the main building retains sufficient integrity to be recognizable to its original appearance and convey its historical significance. Built in 1929, it exemplifies the Spanish Revival style that was embraced by the city following the 1925 earthquake and which established the city’s unique identity. The main building is significant within a local context as an early example of this architectural style on Coast Village Road in Montecito. Its character-defining features include one- and two-story massing; smooth stucco cladding; hipped and shed roofs covered with barrel tile; second story wooden balcony with railing and posts with carved brackets; exposed and carved rafter tails; a three-bay façade with engaged pilasters; wood-sash, multi-paned casement and bay windows; awnings on the façade; and wooden doors.

Criterion e: Its exemplification of the best remaining architectural type in a neighborhood. The subject property is not the best remaining example of an architectural type in the immediately surrounding neighborhood. Several other buildings on Coast Village Road, on the same block and on blocks to the west, were built in the Spanish Revival style, including the Montecito Inn across the street. Therefore, the subject property is not eligible for listing under Criterion e.

Criterion f: Its identification as the creation, design or work of a person or persons whose effort has significantly influenced the heritage of the City, the State or the Nation. The small western building on the property was designed by notable local architect Chester Carjola, who is on the City’s list of local master architects/designers. However, its small scale and minimal character- defining features make it a rather insignificant example of Carjola’s work, as compared to some of his better-known work such as the auditorium, library, and planetarium for the Santa Barbara Natural History Museum, a library at the University of California, Santa Barbara, and several Montecito residences. Nevertheless, the original main building on the property was designed by Henry Howell, who is also on the City’s list of local master architects/designers, and was constructed by Elmer Whittaker, a well-known and prolific local builder. The subject property appears to be eligible under Criterion f as the creation, design, or work of a person or persons whose effort has significantly influenced the heritage of the city.

Criterion g: Its embodiment of elements demonstrating outstanding attention to architectural design, detail, materials or craftsmanship. The subject property does not demonstrate outstanding attention to architectural design, detail, materials or craftsmanship. The buildings appear to have been constructed using standard techniques and materials. It does not appear to be eligible for listing under Criterion g.

Page 19

City of Santa Barbara Olive Mill Road Roundabout Project

Criterion h: Its relationship to any other landmark if its preservation is essential to the integrity of that landmark. The nearest City-designated site is the Montecito Inn, a Structure of Merit that is located across the street on the south side of Coast Village Road. Preservation of the subject property is not essential to the integrity of that landmark. Therefore, the subject property is not eligible for listing under Criterion h.

Criterion i: Its unique location or singular physical characteristic representing an established and familiar visual feature of a neighborhood. The original, main building on the subject property was built in 1929 and is one of the earliest commercial buildings on this stretch of Coast Village Road (formerly the Coast Highway) in Montecito. It has been an established visual feature for 90 years. The property appears to be eligible for listing under Criterion i.

Criterion j: Its potential of yielding significant information of archaeological interest. This criterion is not applicable under the scope of this report.

Criterion k: Its integrity as a natural environment that strongly contributes to the well- being of the people of the City, the State or the Nation. The subject property is fully developed and not a natural environment; therefore, this criterion is not applicable.

Integrity The buildings on the subject property have not been moved and thus retain integrity of location. As a whole, the property’s overall integrity of design, workmanship, and materials has been affected by addition of buildings to the property over time, and the various subsequent alterations and additions that have been made to the buildings over the years. However, these alterations affected the western and rear buildings more particularly than the original main building. The alterations carried out on the main building have not markedly diminished its integrity of design, workmanship and materials. The property retains some integrity of feeling and association through the presence of the largely intact original building that helps convey the property’s historic character. The property’s setting has been somewhat affected by the conversion of the former state highway into what is today an urbanized commercial thoroughfare. However, the property was originally developed as a business on a commercial strip to serve motoring tourists and local Montecito residents, and it continues to function as such in present day. In conclusion, the original, main building retains sufficient integrity to convey its historical significance, which is derived from its Spanish Revival style and from being an extant example of one of the earliest commercial properties developed in the 1920s on Coast Village Road (previously the Old Coast Highway).It appears to retain sufficient integrity to be eligible for designation under the City’s criteria for landmarks and structures of merit.

Impacts The main building’s significance is derived from its Spanish Revival style, and its association with significant historical events - being an extant example of one of the earliest commercial properties developed in the 1920s on Coast Village Road. Despite the known additions and alterations to the

Page 20

City of Santa Barbara Olive Mill Road Roundabout Project

property, it was found to retain enough integrity to convey its historical significance. The original, main building has largely retained its original layout, massing, fenestration patterns, and the majority of its character-defining features including: one- and two-story massing; hipped and shed roofs covered with barrel tile; second story balcony with wooden railing and posts with carved brackets; exposed and carved wooden rafter tails; smooth stucco siding; multi-pane casement and bay wood-framed windows; and awnings on the façade. The subject property is not within the direct project footprint but is located in the project’s Indirect APE. Elements of the proposed project which would be completed adjacent to the subject property include widening of the sidewalk and the addition of a bicycle lane. The project also proposes to slightly re-align the two lanes of Coast Village Road located south of the subject property and re-configure the island between these two lanes. As designed, the project would result in no direct impact to the subject property. The project would not affect the function or design of the commercial property. It would not alter any of its character-defining features or affect the property such that the main building will no longer retain its historic character. Changes to the setting caused by the project would have no effect on the significance or eligibility of the historical resource. The property’s surroundings have been continuously improved and altered over the years to accommodate the original at-grade state highway, the early business development of the area, the depressed freeway constructed in the mid-twentieth century, and the Coast Village Road commercial strip as it was revamped in the 1960s. The proposed project would follow previous efforts to enhance the thoroughfare and intersection for motorists, pedestrians, and bicyclists. The indirect impact to the main building by a visual change to its setting would be considered less than significant (Class III).

3.2.4 Montecito Parkway

Architectural Description The former Montecito Parkway consists of approximately 1.6 miles of U.S. Route 101 spanning from Olive Mill Road to Sheffield Drive through Montecito, as well as North Jameson Lane adjacent to the north, and South Jameson Lane adjacent to the south. Originally developed between 1937 and 1948 as a joint project between the County of Santa Barbara Planning Commission and the State Division of Highways, what became known as the Montecito Parkway was intended to provide an attractive entry into the City of Santa Barbara, encourage traveling motorists to stop in the community, and improve local traffic conditions for those entering or crossing the highway. The design was a triple roadway which included the four-lane state highway (two lanes traveling in each direction separated by a median strip) and two parallel frontage roads (one on the north side and one on the south side of the highway), with access to the highway at fixed intervals. However, this design did not exist for very long; just six years later, in 1955, the Montecito Parkway’s configuration and appearance was significantly altered when the state built the four-lane divided freeway. These alterations included depressing the roadway, removing intersections at Olive Mill and San Ysidro roads, constructing bridges over the freeway, re- routing its western terminus further to the south, and constructing on- and off-ramps, and re-aligning the frontage roads (Scott 1992; JRP 2009) (Figure 5). The former Montecito Parkway is located within the direct project footprint.

Page 21

City of Santa Barbara Olive Mill Road Roundabout Project

Figure 5 Former Alignment of Montecito Parkway (now N. Jameson Lane and U.S. 101), April 10, 2018

Previous Evaluations The former Montecito Parkway was previously evaluated in 1991 by Gloria Scott for Caltrans and found ineligible for listing in the NRHP, a finding that received concurrence from the California State Historic Preservation Office in 1993 (Scott 1991 and 1992; Craigo 1993). The subject property was given a California Historical Resource Status Code of 6Y, “Determined ineligible for NR by consensus through Section 106 process – Not evaluated for CR or Local Listing” (California Office of Historic Preservation 2012). The Montecito Parkway was re-evaluated by JRP Historical Consulting in 2009 as part of the South Coast 101 HOV Lanes Project (Santa Barbara County, California), and was given a Status Code of 6Z, “Found ineligible for NR, CR or Local designation through survey evaluation.” SHPO concurred with the finding in January 2011 (Donaldson 2011).

Existing Conditions The current survey update of the subject property conducted as part of this undertaking substantiated the previous documentation for the resource, and there is no new evidence to suggest that the property would now be eligible for federal, state, or local designation as it has been substantially altered as identified in 1991 and 2009 (Scott 1991 and 1992; JRP Historical Consulting 2009).

Impacts The subject property is not eligible for federal, state, or local designation; therefore, it is not considered a historical resource for the purposes of CEQA. The proposed project would have no impact to historical resources on this property.

3.2.5 Bridge #51-0031, Olive Mill Road Overcrossing

Architectural Description Bridge #51-0031 is a freeway overpass bridge that was built in 1956 when the U.S. 101 was constructed through the Montecito area. As the at-grade highway was replaced with a depressed, four-lane divided freeway, and the original intersection of Olive Mill Road with the highway was eliminated, this bridge provided a crossing over the freeway and a connection between neighborhoods. Approximately 139 feet in length, the bridge is constructed of continuous concrete box beams or girders and features two main spans. The deck is cast-in-place concrete with railings (Baughn 2012-2018). The bridge is located within the direct project footprint.

Figure 6 Bridge No. 51-0031, Olive Mill Road Overcrossing, View to the Northwest, July 27, 2018

Bridges made of pre-stressed concrete box beams began to appear on highways in the early 1950s and were common by the 1960s. The Pennsylvania Highway Department is believed to have been the first transportation agency to utilize them and built the first example in 1951. Just a few years later, by 1954, the agency was building about sixty per year (Parsons Brinkerhoff and Engineering and Industrial Heritage 2005). As stated in A Context for Common Historic Bridge Types, because of their relative commonness, this type of bridge has a low level of significance. The most significant examples would be early (pre-1955) examples that retain a high level of integrity. In consideration of Bridge #51-0031, it is not particularly early for this bridge type and does not appear to feature any innovative techniques.

Page 23

City of Santa Barbara Olive Mill Road Roundabout Project

Previous Evaluations Bridge #51-0031 was previously evaluated by Caltrans and listed in the original Statewide Historic Bridge Inventory and the 2006 Statewide Historic Bridge Inventory Update. The bridge is considered a Category 5 bridge, meaning it is ineligible for the NRHP. It was also included in the APE for the South Coast 101 HOV Project and identified as ineligible for the NRHP in the Historical Resources Evaluation Report (HRER) for that project (JRP Consulting 2009). The SHPO concurred with the eligibility findings of that HRER in 2011 (Donaldson 2011).

Existing Conditions Since the bridge was last evaluated, there have been no visible changes and there is no new evidence to suggest that either would now be eligible for federal or state designation. The bridge also does not appear eligible for listing as a City Landmark or Structure of Merit under the MEA criteria. It does not appear to be significant for its association with individuals significant in the culture and development of Santa Barbara and does not appear to have been involved in any significant events, or possess character, interest, or value as a significant part of the city’s heritage.

Impacts The subject bridge is not eligible for federal, state, or local designation; therefore, it is not considered a historical resource for the purposes of CEQA. The proposed project would have no impact to historical resources on this property. 3.2.6 Coast Village Road Sign

Architectural Description The object is a street sign composed of a wide wooden sign mounted on a short, wide concrete pedestal. Nearly rectangular in shape, the sign features hand-carved lettering on its east side that is painted white and reads “Coast Village Road”. Installed in the soil, the base of the pedestal is surrounded by bricks laid in a circular arrangement. Having been damaged by termites, a vehicle collision and a natural disaster (debris flow following heavy rains), the sign has had a significant amount of repair work. Damaged wood has been supplemented with foam and bondo, and the bolts connecting the sign to the pedestal were replaced with a larger type. The median was also altered at an unknown date due to the construction of a pedestrian crosswalk which truncated the median on its east end. Presently, the only deliberate landscaping within the median is a group of palm trees near the center of the median. The remainder of the ground surface is disturbed soil and weeds. A street lamp previously was located behind (west of) the sign. The original lamp installed in 1969 was replaced with a different style at an unknown date, and at the time of the present survey, the street lamp had been removed.

Property History The commercial strip that today is known as Coast Village Road has its origins as a portion of the Old Coast Highway (aka Pacific Coast Highway or Route 1). The strip of road originally was located in an unincorporated part of the county and served as both a local connector road between Hot Springs and Olive Mill roads, and as an entry to the City of Santa Barbara (Hazard 2017). By the late 1920s early commercial ventures were developed near the intersection with Olive Mill Road. In 1931 the roadway featured one lane running in each direction, divided by a center lane (or median) delineated by striping. As part of an effort to beautify the eastern entry into the City of Santa Barbara and improve traffic conditions on the highway and local streets, the Santa Barbara County Planning Commission, in conjunction with the State Division of Highways and planner L. Deming Tilton, developed a new design for a triple roadway: a highway with frontage roads. Construction began in 1937 on a section east of Olive Mill Road where the triple roadway design included a four-lane state highway with a median strip at center, and two-lane frontage roads on either side (north and south) of the highway (Scott 1992). West of Olive Mill Road, the four-lane roadway lacked the landscaped median (UCSB Map and Imagery Lab 1947). Through the late 1940s the area west of Olive Mill Road was still sparsely developed on the north side of the road. Vacant lots were interspersed amid low-scale development, and the land was dotted with clusters of large trees. Sherrill Broudy, a designer and architect who had moved to Santa Barbara in 1956, was largely responsible for the transformation of the modern Coast Village Road strip into a unified shopping area. Broudy’s vision for the strip intended to change its character by applying a more defined architectural style and replacing the mixture of motor courts and eateries with more upscale retail operations. Based on historic aerial photographs, it appears that a median was created within Coast Village Road, west of Olive Mill Road, by 1958 (UCSB Map and Imagery Lab 1959). In 1960 the City of Santa Barbara

Page 25

City of Santa Barbara Olive Mill Road Roundabout Project

annexed the entire strip while offering to install a sewer system, which was greatly supported by the area business owners. That same year the thoroughfare’s name was changed from Old Coast Highway to Coast Village Road, after Broudy petitioned the City Council to do so (Gilbar 2015). The Coast Village Road shopping center, at the corner of Hot Springs and Coast Village roads, was developed in the early to mid-1960s (Gilbar 2015; UCSB Map and Imagery Lab 1961, 1967). By the late 1960s the Coast Village Road strip was mostly developed and appeared much like it does today (UCSB Map and Imagery Lab 1967, 1969). The subject sign was a component of improvements to Coast Village Road undertaken by the City of Santa Barbara. Engineering firm Penfield & Smith and landscape architect John Robert Russell developed the plans in 1968. The improvements, which were completed between 1968 and 1969, altered the road to appear more like a city street or boulevard, and brought continuity to the commercial strip. In order to make the road more pedestrian- and parking-friendly and improve its appearance, its alignment was modified, vehicular traffic was narrowed to two lanes, angled and parallel parking was created to serve the businesses that front the street, hardscaping was installed such as curbs, gutters, sidewalks, medians and islands. Street lights, benches and street signs were also installed (Willard 1968; Gilbar 2015; Ludwick 2019). While the fabricator of the sign is not known, the engineering plans state that Mrs. Oscar Erikson of Santa Barbara was to complete the letter carving. The letter font was planned to be similar in style to that of the city’s parking lot signs (Penfield & Smith 1968). Based on archival research, it is believed that Mrs. Oscar Erikson was Olive Pauline Erickson (husband was Knut Oscar Erickson). She studied at the Knapp College of Nursing in Santa Barbara, worked at Sansum Clinic and the general hospital, and later taught at Santa Barbara City College (U.S. Department of Commerce 1940; R.L. Polk & Co. 1955, 1972; Santa Barbara Directory Co. 1944). According to Paul Musgrove, a carpenter who maintained wooden street signs throughout Montecito for over 15 years, and Bob Ludwick, the president of the Coast Village Association, the sign has been damaged by termites, a vehicle collision, and a natural disaster (debris flow on January 9, 2018), which have all required repairs. Non-original materials have been utilized to stabilize the sign including foam and bondo, and the original bolts have been replaced by larger bolts to connect the sign more directly onto the pedestal. Ludwick estimates approximately 75% of the sign’s original material remains. An identical sign at the west end of Coast Village Road, near Hot Springs Road, is in better condition according to Ludwick.

Previous Evaluations No previous evaluations were identified for the subject property.

Federal and State Eligibility The sign is an undistinguished example of a wooden street sign. It is not an exceptional example of woodworking or handicrafts, nor does it embody any technological advancements in sign-making. It is one of over 200 wooden street signs in the community of Montecito. While the Montecito Community Foundation maintains 212 of the hand-painted wooden street signs, the subject sign is technically under the jurisdiction of the City of Santa Barbara as it is located on a median in a City-owned street (Herrick 2018; Penfield & Smith 1968; Ludwick 2019; Musgrove 2019). However, communication with City Public Works and Parks department staff did not uncover any records on the sign’s design, installation or

Page 26

City of Santa Barbara Olive Mill Road Roundabout Project

maintenance, indicating their limited involvement. The Coast Village Association has handled repairs and maintenance over recent years and holds a copy of the 1968 engineering plans. Due to the repair work/alterations described above, the sign’s integrity of materials and workmanship have been diminished. The alterations to the median (changes in the landscaping, street lamps, and the truncating of the median to accommodate a crosswalk) and redevelopment of the parcel immediately to the north have also diminished the sign’s integrity of setting. It does not appear eligible for listing in the NRHP or CRHR under any criteria. It is not directly associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of our history (Criteria A/1), nor is it associated with the lives of persons significant in our past (Criteria B/2). As discussed above, the sign is an undistinguished example of a wooden street sign; it does not embody the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction, nor does it represent the work of a master, possess high artistic values, or represent a significant and distinguishable entity whose components lack individual distinction (Criteria C/3). Lastly, there is no information to indicate that the sign has yielded or may be likely to yield information important in prehistory or history (Criterion D).

Local Eligibility

Criterion a: Its character, interest or value as a significant part of the heritage of the City, the State or Nation. The property does not have associations that are significant to the heritage of the City, State, or nation. Although it is associated with the improvements to Coast Village Road completed in the late 1960s, the sign does not represent a significant component of urban planning or design efforts in the City, State, or nation.

Criterion b: Its location as a site of a significant historic event. The sign and median upon which the sign rests are not associated with, or are the site of, any significant historic events. Therefore, the sign does not appear to be eligible for listing under Criterion b.

Criterion c: Its identification with a person or persons who significantly contributed to the culture and development of the City, the State or the Nation. Research did not indicate that the sign is directly associated with any persons who significantly contributed to the culture and development of the City, State, or nation. Therefore, the sign does not appear to be eligible under Criterion c.

Criterion d: Its exemplification of a particular architectural style or way of life important to the City, the State or the Nation. The sign does not exemplify a particular architectural style or way of life important to the City, State, or nation. Therefore, the property does not appear to be eligible for listing under Criterion d.

Criterion e: Its exemplification of the best remaining architectural type in a neighborhood. The sign’s design/construction does not exemplify any architectural types or styles. As a heavily altered wooden street sign, it is not the best remaining example in the neighborhood. It is one of over 200 wooden street signs in the community of Montecito. Therefore, it does not appear eligible for listing under Criterion e.

Page 27

City of Santa Barbara Olive Mill Road Roundabout Project

Criterion f: Its identification as the creation, design or work of a person or persons whose effort has significant influenced the heritage of the City, the State or the Nation. A review of available records and archival research did not indicate that the designer or fabricator of the sign was significant or influential in the heritage of the City, State, or nation. The sign does not appear to be eligible for listing under Criterion f.

Criterion g: Its embodiment of elements demonstrating outstanding attention to architectural design, detail, materials or craftsmanship. The sign’s design and details are rather simple and not outstanding. It was built using standard materials. Additionally, it has been repaired/altered using non-original and non-traditional materials. Although it displays carved letters, many signs in the city feature the same trait; thus, the subject sign is not an outstanding example. The sign does not appear eligible for listing under Criterion g.

Criterion h: Its relationship to any other landmark if its preservation is essential to the integrity of that landmark. The nearest City-designated site is the Montecito Inn, a Structure of Merit that is located across the street on the south side of Coast Village Road. Preservation of the sign is not essential to the integrity of that landmark. Therefore, the subject property is not eligible under Criterion h.

Criterion i: Its unique location or singular physical characteristic representing an established and familiar visual feature of a neighborhood. Located on an island/median in the middle of a heavily traveled street, the sign does not occupy a unique location. Although the sign could be considered a familiar and established visual feature of the neighborhood, because of its alterations, it does not retain a singular physical characteristic that would make it significant to the streetscape. Therefore, the sign does not appear eligible under Criterion i.

Criterion j: Its potential of yielding significant information of archaeological interest. This criterion is not applicable under the scope of this report.

Criterion k: Its integrity as a natural environment that strongly contributes to the well- being of the people of the City, the State or the Nation. The sign is on property that is fully developed and not a natural environment; therefore, this criterion is not applicable.

Integrity The Coast Village Road sign has not been moved and thus retains integrity of location. The sign’s integrity of design, workmanship and materials has been diminished due to various alterations and the introduction of non-original materials. These include repairs using foam and bondo, and replacement of the original bolts with larger bolts to connect the sign more directly to the pedestal. The property’s integrity of setting and feeling have been somewhat affected by the redevelopment and alterations to surrounding commercial properties that no longer convey the character and sense of place that existed in the late 1960s when the sign was constructed as part of improvements to Coast Village Road.

The studies for this undertaking were carried out in a manner consistent with Caltrans’ regulatory responsibilities under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (36 CFR Part 800) and pursuant to the January 2014 First Amended Programmatic Agreement among the Federal Highway Administration, the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation, the California State Historic Preservation Officer, and the California Department of Transportation Regarding Compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (Section 106 PA), as well as under Public Resources Code 5024 and pursuant to the January 2015 Memorandum of Understanding Between the California Department of Transportation and the California State Historic Preservation Office Regarding Compliance with Public Resources Code Section 5024 and Governor’s Executive Order W-26-92 (5024 MOU) as applicable. Project Description: The City of Santa Barbara and the County of Santa Barbara have partnered on the Olive Mill Road Roundabout Project (project) to create a new intersection configuration to enhance traffic operations and safety for motor vehicle and Active Transportation users. The project will complete the proposed improvements included in the South Coast Route 101 (U.S. 101) High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) Lanes Project-North Segment, where the HOV Lanes Project will add a third lane to the mainline in both directions of travel. The project, located at post mile 10.5, aims to enhance the traffic operations and safety of the Olive Mill Road/US 101 Northbound off- ramp/North Jameson Lane Intersection (intersection) by reconfiguring the intersection to a roundabout, adding sidewalks, adding safer, directional crosswalks, and connecting existing bicycle paths. The project includes the following elements:  Constructing a roundabout at the intersection by:

o In accordance with the Historic Property Survey Report (HPSR), not affecting the Historic Property of the Montecito Inn;

o Reconfiguring Coast Village Road west of Olive Mill Road by constructing curb and gutter on both sides within the existing right-of-way, and channelizing traffic into and out of the roundabout by constructing a pedestrian refuge island in the center of the road as it approaches the roundabout;

o Constructing a new crosswalk connecting the north side of Coast Village Road to [HPSR form rev 09/25/17] Caltrans, Division of Environmental Analysis. Copyright © 2017 State of California.

the south side;

o Constructing a new crosswalk on the north leg to connect the west side of Olive Mill Road to the east side;

o Modifying the alignment of northbound Olive Mill Road south of Coast Village Road by constructing new pavement and a pedestrian refuge island to connect northbound Olive Mill Road to the roundabout and to the US-101 Southbound on- ramp;

o Constructing a retaining wall along the southeast side of Olive Mill Road supporting the new, direct connection between northbound Olive Mill Road and the US-101 Southbound on-ramp;

o Constructing a retaining wall along the southeast section of the roundabout between the US-101 Southbound on-ramp and the new alignment of the US-101 Northbound off-ramp to accommodate the roundabout;

o Modifying the alignment of the US-101 Northbound Off-ramp terminus by constructing new pavement to connect the US-101 Northbound Off-ramp to the roundabout;

o Modifying the alignment of the North Jameson Lane east of the intersection by constructing new pavement to connect North Jameson Lane to the roundabout separated by a median/pedestrian refuge island;

o Reconfiguring Olive Mill Road north of Coast Village Road by constructing curb and gutter within the existing right-of-way, and channelizing traffic into and out of the roundabout by constructing a pedestrian refuge island in the center of the road as it approaches the roundabout;

o Installing aesthetic treatments on the retaining walls; o Installing drainage improvements; o Relocating overhead street lighting poles, sewer lines, water lines, and other miscellaneous utilities;

o Installing landscaping within, and in the vicinity of, the roundabout; o Installing street and decorative lighting within the limits of the roundabout; and o Removing Oak Trees, and Specimen Trees, and replacing these with Oak Trees and Specimen Trees. 2. AREA OF POTENTIAL EFFECTS In accordance with Section 106 PA Stipulation VIII.A, the Area of Potential Effects (APE) for the project was established in consultation with Caltrans. The APE map is located in Attachment 1 (HRER) and Attachment 2 (ASR) of this Historic Property Survey Report. The APE was established as the limits within which both direct and indirect project-related disturbances could occur. The Direct APE or Area of Direct Impact (ADI) for the current undertaking includes the areas where construction associated with the proposed project will

occur, that is, the direct project footprint, which consists of the existing right-of-way corridors and road shoulders of Olive Mill Road, North Jameson Lane, Coast Village Road, US 101 North, US 101 South on-ramp, Coast Village Circle, and Virginia Road. This will also be considered the Archaeological APE. Staging areas for the project will be located within the previously approved APE for the Cabrillo Boulevard Pedestrian and Bicycle Improvements and Replacement of the Union Pacific Railroad Bridge Project (Federal Project No. HSIPL-6090[059]; Hoffman and Szromba 2017). The APE must additionally be considered as a three-dimensional space; this includes any ground disturbance associated with the project. The vertical depth of the APE is not to exceed 10 feet for the possible installation of drainage inlets or pipes; depth of disturbance for construction along roadways is expected at an average depth of two feet. The area surrounding the APE includes commercial uses to the northwest and southwest of the intersection of Olive Mill and Coast Village roads, residential uses flanking Olive Mill Road north of North Jameson Lane and south of Virginia Road, and residential uses along North Jameson Lane and Virginia Road. In addition, US 101 runs through the APE near its southern edge. The Indirect or Architectural APE includes all properties in the area that could potentially be affected indirectly (noise, vibration, visual) by the project. Following the guidance presented in Volume 2 of the Caltrans Standard Environmental Reference (Caltrans 2015), in order to account for both permanent and temporary project-related effects, the Indirect APE extends out one parcel from the Direct APE in areas where construction of project elements has the potential to indirectly affect the setting of adjacent properties. The Indirect APE was delineated to include the first row of adjacent parcels in areas where the construction of project elements such as the roundabout, new sidewalks, or retaining walls would take place. In areas where the only project- related activity is road striping, the Indirect APE is the same as the Direct APE. Therefore, the Indirect APE was delineated to include the following parcels: APNs 009-293-007, 009-230-032, 009-230-031, 009-230-028, 009-230-027, 009-241-002 and 009-241-001. Parcel no. 009-230- 043 was omitted because it is currently under construction with a new mixed-use development. 3.

☒ Results: • The CHRIS records search identified 64 cultural resources that were previously recorded within a 1-mile radius of the APE. One of these resources, the Montecito Parkway, was within the Direct APE. One resource, the Montecito Inn, was within the Indirect APE. Additionally, two resources were recorded adjacent to the Direct APE. The CHRIS records search identified 67 previously conducted cultural resources studies within a 1-mile radius of the APE, five of which included the APE. None of these studies identified cultural resources within the APE. 5. PROPERTIES IDENTIFIED ☒ Caltrans, in accordance with Section 106 PA Stipulation VIII.C.5 and as applicable PRC 5024 MOU Stipulation VIII.C.5 has determined there are cultural resources within the APE that were previously determined not eligible for inclusion in the NRHP and/or not eligible for registration as a CHL with SHPO concurrence and those determinations remain valid.

determinations remain valid. Copy of SHPO/Keeper correspondence is attached (Attachment 4). • Montecito Inn, 1295 Coast Village Road (Map Reference No. 1), evaluated in 1991-1992 and was found ineligible for inclusion in the NRHP due to alterations and a loss of integrity. SHPO concurred with the finding in 1993. The property was re-evaluated by JRP Historical Consulting in 2008 who found that it retained sufficient integrity to convey its significance and found it eligible for the NRHP and CRHR for its Spanish Revival style architecture, for its association with the Santa Barbara area’s tourism and hotel boom in the years following the 1925 earthquake, and the trend of roadside accommodations for motor tourists. In 2011 the SHPO concurred with this finding. The City of Santa Barbara determined that the property is also eligible for local listing and the property was designated as a City Structure of Merit on November 29, 2017.

☐ Caltrans has determined there are properties within the APE that were evaluated as a result of this project and are eligible for inclusion in the NRHP and/or as CHLs. Under Section 106 PA Stipulation VIII.C.6 and as applicable PRC 5024 MOU Stipulation VIII.C.6, Caltrans requests SHPO’s concurrence in this determination. • 1286-1290 Coast Village Road (Map Reference No. 3) This commercial property is recommended eligible for listing in the NRHP at the local level of significance and for local designation with one contributing building. Built in 1929, the original, main building on the property appears eligible under Criterion A as a largely intact example of one of the earliest businesses developed on this section of the Old Coast Highway (before becoming Coast Village Road, a city street). It was part of an early commercial and service hub directed towards the motoring public at the intersection of the Old Coast Highway and present day Olive Mill Road which, by the early 1930s, included two service stations (no longer extant) and the Montecito Inn (extant). Additionally, the contributing building on the property is recommended eligible under Criterion C for exemplifying the architectural style that was embraced by the City of Santa Barbara following the destructive 1925 earthquake which in turn established the city’s unique identity. Constructed just four years after the earthquake and showcasing features of the Spanish Revival and the Monterey Revival styles, the building is significant within a local context of this type and period of construction in the Montecito community. The property as a whole does not retain sufficient integrity to be eligible for listing in the NRHP because of the degree of alterations undertaken on the property. Two (out of three) of the buildings were constructed in the 1940s and have been enlarged and altered, thus, they are considered non-contributive to the property’s significance. The original main building retains sufficient integrity to convey its historical significance, therefore it is the only contributing building. Its period of significance is 1929, its year of construction.

☒ Consulting Architectural Historian Shannon Carmack, who meets the Professionally Qualified Staff Standards in Section 106 Programmatic Agreement Attachment 1 as a Principal Architectural Historian, has determined that the only other properties present within the APE meet the criteria for Section 106 Programmatic Agreement Attachment 4 [HPSR form rev 09/25/17] Caltrans, Division of Environmental Analysis.

6. FINDING FOR THE UNDERTAKING

☒ Caltrans, pursuant to Section 106 PA Stipulation IX.A and as applicable PRC 5024 MOU Stipulation IX.A.2, has determined a Finding of No Historic Properties Affected is appropriate for this undertaking because the following historic properties will not be affected: the Montecito Inn (Map Reference No. 1) and 1286-1290 Coast Village Road (Map Reference No. 3). The undertaking will have no effect (as defined by 36 CFR §800.16(i)) on the two historic properties present within the Indirect APE. The improvements proposed as part of the project will not alter the characteristics of the historic properties that qualify them for inclusion in or eligibility for the NRHP. For the Montecito Inn, this includes: its location and exterior appearance; its original layout, massing, and fenestration patterns; character-defining features such as hipped tile roof, columned arched arcade, eight-over-eight double-hung windows, multiple-pane and arched first floor windows, tower, and underground parking garage (JRP Historical Consulting 2008). For the contributing building at 1286-1290 Coast Village Road, this includes: its location and the character-defining features of its Spanish/Monterey Revival architectural style such as smooth stucco cladding, hipped and shed roofs clad with barrel tile, wooden balcony with carved brackets and carved rafter tails, a three-bay façade with engaged pilasters, and wood-sash multi-paned windows and wooden doors.

7. CEQA CONSIDERATIONS ☒ Not applicable; Caltrans is not the lead agency under CEQA. ☐ Caltrans PQS has determined there are No Historical Resources present, as outlined in CEQA Guidelines 15064.5(a). ☐ Caltrans PQS has determined that there are resources in the project area that are not significant resources under CEQA; see Section 5. ☐ Caltrans PQS has determined that there are resources that do NOT meet NRHP criteria, but ARE historical resources for the purposes of CEQA. ☐ Caltrans PQS has determined that there are resources in the project area that are historical resources for the purposes of CEQA; see Section 5.

Summary of Findings

Proposed Undertaking: The City of Santa Barbara and County of Santa Barbara are proposing improvements to the intersection of Coast Village Road/North Jameson Lane/Olive Mill Road and United States Highway 101 (U.S. 101) at post mile 10.5 by creating a new intersection configuration (project). The purpose of the project (EA 05-1K030) is to enhance traffic operations and safety for motor vehicle and Active Transportation users. The project will complete the proposed improvements included in the South Coast Route 101 High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) Lanes Project-North Segment, where the HOV Lanes Project will add a third lane to the mainline in both directions of travel. This project includes federal funding. Purpose and Scope of the Investigation: Rincon Consultants, Inc. (Rincon) was retained by T.Y. Lin International to prepare a Historical Resource Evaluation Report (HRER) for the project. Located at post mile 10.5, the project’s area of potential effects (APE) is located along Olive Mill Road from slightly north of Coast Village Road and North Jameson Lane to slightly past Virginia Road, along Coast Village Road to slightly past Coast Village Circle, along a small portion of Virginia Road, along North Jameson Lane to approximately Santa Isabel Lane, along South Jameson Lane to slightly past Danielson Road, and along the Olive Mill Road offramp of westbound Highway 101. The proposed project, EA 05-1K030, would be constructed in part using federal transportation funds; therefore, the cultural studies must comply with the terms of the Programmatic Agreement Among the Federal Highway Administration, the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation, the California State Historic Preservation Officer, and the California Department of Transportation Regarding Compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act, as it Pertains to the Administration of The Federal-Aid Highway Program in California (Section 106 PA), which was amended in January 2014. The intent of this report is to comply with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) and California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requirements, initiating cultural resources clearance for the project as it relates to applicable legislation and regulation. This HRER was prepared in accordance with Caltrans’ most recent edition of Standard Environmental Reference, Volume 2, Cultural Resources requirements and presents the results of a records search, historical group consultation, archival research, intensive-level pedestrian survey, and evaluation results. Results of Investigation: Of the 12 historic-era properties that are located within the APE, four were previously evaluated and eight required evaluation as a part of this project. One property, the Montecito Inn (Map Reference No. 1), was previously evaluated and, following concurrence from the State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO), was determined eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). It is considered a historical resource for the purposes of CEQA. The former Montecito Parkway (Map Reference No. 9) was previously evaluated and determined ineligible for the NRHP with SHPO concurrence. Bridge No. 51-0186K (Map Reference No. 10) and Bridge No. 51-0031 (Map Reference No. 11) and were previously evaluated and determined ineligible for the NRHP. Neither the Montecito Parkway nor the two bridges are considered historical resources for the purposes of CEQA. The property at 1286-1290 Coast Village Road (Map Reference No. 3) was evaluated as a part of this project and recommended eligible for listing in the NRHP at the local level of significance with one

TY Lin International/City and County of Santa Barbara 1 Summary of Findings contributing building. It is considered a historical resource for the purposes of CEQA. Two buildings that were later added to the property are considered non-contributive to its significance. The remaining seven properties that were evaluated as a part of this project are not eligible for federal, state, or local designation, and are not historical resources under CEQA. These include: 1284 Coast Village Road (Map Reference No. 2), 115 Olive Mill Road (Map Reference No. 4), 119 Olive Mill Road (Map Reference No. 5), 112 Olive Mill Road (Map Reference No. 6), 110 Olive Mill Road (Map Reference No. 7), the Biltmore/ Four Seasons Hotel Sign (Map Reference No. 8), and the Coast Village Road street sign (Map Reference No. 12). The Montecito Inn (Map Reference No. 1) at 1295 Coast Village Road was evaluated in 1991-1992 and was found ineligible for inclusion in the NRHP due to alterations and a loss of integrity (Kane, Crockett and Scott 1991; Scott 1992). SHPO concurred with the finding in 1993. The property was re-evaluated in 2008 by JRP Historical Consulting who found that it retained sufficient integrity to convey its significance and found it eligible for listing in the NRHP at the local level. Built in 1928, it was recommended eligible under Criteria A and C for its Spanish Revival style architecture, for its association with the Santa Barbara area’s tourism and hotel boom in the years following the 1925 earthquake, and the trend of roadside accommodations for motor tourists. In 2011 the SHPO concurred with this finding (Donaldson 2011). The City of Santa Barbara determined that the property was also eligible for local listing and the property was designated as a City Structure of Merit on November 29, 2017 (Hernandez 2017; City of Santa Barbara 2018). The proposed project has no potential to affect the Montecito Inn. The property at 1286-1290 Coast Village Road (Map Reference No. 3) was evaluated as a part of this project and is recommended eligible for listing in the NRHP at the local level of significance and for local designation with one contributing building. Built in 1929, the original, main building on the property is eligible under Criterion A as a largely intact example of one of the earliest businesses developed on this section of the Old Coast Highway (before becoming Coast Village Road, a city street). In addition, it is eligible under Criterion C for exemplifying the architectural style that was embraced by the City of Santa Barbara following the destructive 1925 earthquake which established the city’s unique identity. Showcasing features of the Spanish Revival and the Monterey Revival styles, the building is significant within a local context of this type and period of construction in the Montecito community. Two buildings that were later added to the property are considered non-contributive to its significance. The Biltmore/Four Seasons Hotel sign (Map Reference No. 8) was evaluated as part of this project. As a modest and altered example of a circa mid-1950s channel letter neon sign, it is recommended ineligible for the NRHP, the CRHR, and for local designation as an individual resource. The sign was also considered as a potential contributing element to the Biltmore/Four Seasons Hotel property which is located approximately 0.30 miles to the southwest at Olive Mill Road and Channel Drive. Evaluated by Alexandra Cole of Preservation Planning Associates in 2001, the hotel property was recommended eligible for local designation and for listing on the CRHR. However, the property was not evaluated for the NRHP. As a result, the sign is not considered eligible for the NRHP as a potential contributor to the hotel property. It is recommended that (California Historical Resource) Status Code 6L be assigned, meaning the sign has been “Determined ineligible for local listing or designation through local government review process; may warrant special consideration in local planning.” The sign is not a historical resource for the purposes of CEQA. The recommended finding for the project is No Historic Properties Affected.

2 TY Lin International/City and County of Santa Barbara Historical Resources Evaluation Report Olive Mill Road Roundabout Project

1 Project Description

The City of Santa Barbara (City) and the County of Santa Barbara (County) have partnered on the Olive Mill Road Roundabout Project (project) to create a new intersection configuration to enhance traffic operations and safety for motor vehicle and Active Transportation users. The project will complete the proposed improvements included in the South Coast Route 101 (US-101) High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) Lanes Project-North Segment (HOV Project), where the HOV Project will add a third lane to the mainline in both directions of travel. The project is located at post mile 10.5 and is identified as EA 05-1K030. The Project will enhance the traffic operations and safety of the intersection by constructing a roundabout, adding sidewalks, adding safer, directional crosswalks, and connecting existing bicycle paths. The Project includes the following elements:  Constructing a roundabout:

o Will not affect the Historic Property of the Montecito Inn, in accordance with the Historical Property Survey Report (HPSR);

o Reconfiguring Coast Village Road west of Olive Mill Road by constructing curb and gutter on both sides within the existing right-of-way, and channelizing traffic into and out of the roundabout by constructing a pedestrian refuge island in the center of the road as it approaches the roundabout;

o Constructing a new crosswalk connecting the north side of Coast Village Road to the south side;

o Constructing a new crosswalk on the north leg to connect the west side of Olive Mill Road to the east side;

o Modifying the alignment of northbound Olive Mill Road south of Coast Village Road by constructing new pavement and a pedestrian refuge island to connect northbound Olive Mill Road to the roundabout and to the US-101 Southbound on-ramp;

o Constructing a retaining wall along the southeast side of Olive Mill Road supporting the new, direct connection between northbound Olive Mill Road and the US-101 Southbound on-ramp;

o Constructing a retaining wall along the southeast section of the roundabout between the US-101 Southbound on-ramp and the new alignment of the US-101 Northbound off- ramp to accommodate the roundabout;

o Modifying the alignment of the US-101 Northbound Off-ramp terminus by constructing new pavement to connect the US-101 Northbound Off-ramp to the roundabout;

o Modifying the alignment of the North Jameson Lane east of the intersection by constructing new pavement to connect North Jameson Lane to the roundabout separated by a median/pedestrian refuge island;

o Reconfiguring Olive Mill Road north of Coast Village Road by constructing curb and gutter within the existing right-of-way, and channelizing traffic into and out of the roundabout by constructing a pedestrian refuge island in the center of the road as it approaches the roundabout;

TY Lin International/City and County of Santa Barbara 3 Project Description

o Installing aesthetic treatments on the retaining walls; o Installing drainage improvements; o Relocating overhead street lighting poles, sewer lines, water lines, and other miscellaneous utilities;

o Installing landscaping within, and in the vicinity of, the roundabout; o Installing street and decorative lighting within the limits of the roundabout; and o Removing Oak Trees, and Specimen Trees, and replacing these with Oak Trees and Specimen Trees.

No additional vehicle lanes would be added or substantial physical alterations to the existing highway; therefore the project would not result in an increase of capacity. The area surrounding the project includes commercial uses to the northwest and southwest of the intersection of Olive Mill and Coast Village roads, residential uses flanking Olive Mill Road north of North Jameson Lane and south of Virginia Road, and residential uses along North Jameson Lane and Virginia Road. In addition, U.S. Route 101 runs through the project area near its southern edge. The project is located within Caltrans District 5, in both the City of Santa Barbara and an unincorporated portion of Santa Barbara County. The project area is located within Township 4 North, Range 26 West within the historic boundaries of the Pueblo Lands of Santa Barbara, on the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) 7.5’ Santa Barbara Quadrangle (see Appendix A).

1.1 Area of Potential Effects

The Area of Potential Effects (APE) is the geographic area or areas within which an undertaking may directly or indirectly cause changes in the character or use of historic properties. Determination of the APE is influenced by the project’s setting, the scale and nature of the undertaking, and the different kinds of effects that may result from the undertaking (36 Code of Federal Regulations [CFR] 800.16[d]). The project APE was developed by T.Y. Lin in consultation with Rincon Consultants, Caltrans District 5 staff and the City of Santa Barbara (Appendix A, Figure 3). The APE map was developed to identify resources in the project area that have potential for historic significance, that should be evaluated for eligibility for the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) or the California Register of Historical Resources (CRHR), and that may be directly or indirectly affected by the proposed project, in compliance with 36 CFR 800.16(d). The APE depicts all areas that are expected to be affected by the proposed project. The APE was established as the limits within which both direct and indirect project-related disturbances could occur. The Direct APE includes the areas where construction activities associated with the proposed project will occur, that is, the direct project footprint, which consists of the existing right-of- way corridors and road shoulders of Olive Mill Road, North and South Jameson lanes, Coast Village Road, U.S. 101 northbound, the U.S. 101 south on-ramp from Olive Mill Road, and small portions of Coast Village Circle and Virginia Road. The APE must additionally be considered as a three-dimensional space; this includes any ground disturbance associated with the project. The vertical depth of the APE is not to

4 TY Lin International/City and County of Santa Barbara Historical Resources Evaluation Report Olive Mill Road Roundabout Project exceed 10 feet for the possible installation of drainage inlets or pipes; depth of disturbance for construction along roadways is expected to average two feet. Considering preliminary project development and tree replacement plans, the Area of Direct Impact (ADI) for the project is assumed to be the direct project footprint. This will also be considered the Direct or Archaeological APE. The Indirect or Architectural APE includes all properties in the area that could potentially be affected indirectly (noise, vibration, visual) by the project. Following the guidance presented in Volume 2 of the Caltrans Standard Environmental Reference (Caltrans 2015), in order to account for both permanent and temporary project-related effects, the Indirect APE extends out one parcel from the Direct APE in areas where construction of project elements has the potential to indirectly affect the setting of adjacent properties. The Indirect APE was delineated to include the first row of adjacent parcels in areas where the construction of project elements such as the roundabout, new sidewalks or retaining walls would take place. In areas where the only project-related activity is road striping, the Indirect APE is the same as the Direct APE. Therefore, the indirect APE was delineated to include the following parcels: APNs 009- 293-007, 009-230-032, 009-230-031, 009-230-028, 009-230-027, 009-241-002 and 009-241-001. The parcel no. 009-230-043 was omitted because it is currently under construction with a new development. A site located approximately one mile to the west at the northeast corner of Cabrillo Boulevard and Los Patos Way will be utilized as a staging area for the project. This site is included in the previously approved APE for the Cabrillo Boulevard Pedestrian and Bicycle Improvements and Replacement of the Union Pacific Railroad Bridge Project (HSIPL-6090(059)). Additionally, a separate figure is included that depicts this project’s APE in relation to an area that may be utilized for replanting trees as mitigation for this and two other previously approved projects: the North Jameson Class II Bike Lanes and Bridge Replacement Project (BRLS-5951(067), and the San Ysidro Road Walkway Project (SR2SF-5951(121)) (Appendix A, Figure 4). Archaeological resources within the Direct APE, or Area of Direct Impact (ADI), are discussed in a separate Archeological Survey Report (ASR).

2 Research Methods

2.1 Background Research

Background research was conducted in early 2018 to identify previously conducted cultural resource studies and previously recorded cultural resources within and adjacent to the APE. A cultural resources records search of the California Historical Resources Information System (CHRIS) was requested by Rincon and was performed by the Central Coast Information Center (CCIC) located at University of California, Santa Barbara, on January 18, 2018. The records search included the APE and a 1.0-mile radius around it. Rincon also reviewed the National Register of Historic Places, California Register of Historical Resources, California State Historical Landmarks, California Points of Historical Interest, the Caltrans State and Local Bridge Surveys, and historic USGS 7.5- and 15-minute quadrangle maps. Rincon reviewed the results of the records search for potential built environment resources and historic data pertaining to the current undertaking. In addition to the CHRIS records search, Rincon coordinated with staff at the City of Santa Barbara, the County of Santa Barbara, and Caltrans to identify any relevant cultural resources studies and records that were not on file with the CCIC. 2.1.1 Previously Conducted Studies The CHRIS records search identified 67 cultural resources studies that were previously conducted within a 1.0-mile (1.6-km) radius of the APE; of these, five included portions of the APE. A number of additional previous cultural resource studies were also identified through coordination with staff at Caltrans and the City and County of Santa Barbara. Those reports that are particularly relevant to this HRER are presented in Table 1, and five relevant studies located within the APE are discussed in further detail below. The full records search summary can be found in the Archaeological Survey Report for this project.

SR-02619 SR-02619 is a Historic Properties Survey Report prepared by Terry L. Joslin in 2000 in support of minor road rehabilitation activities along U.S. 101 between the intersection of Route 150 in Carpinteria to Milpas Street in Santa Barbara. Nineteen previously evaluated, Category 5 bridges were located within the project APE. No additional cultural resources were identified within the APE during archival research and field inventories, and no direct or indirect impacts to historic architectural resources were expected. SR-02938 SR-02938 is a HPSR authored by Caltrans in 1992 for the U.S. 101 Six-Lane Project (widening project) from Milpas Street in Santa Barbara to Bailard Avenue in Carpinteria. This report discusses the findings of the cultural resources investigations for the project. The associated Historical Architectural Survey Report examined 440 resources within the APE. Of those, 111 properties built prior to 1946 were formally evaluated, and 16 of those appeared to meet the criteria for inclusion in the NRHP. The Montecito Inn and the Montecito Parkway, which are located in the current project’s APE, were determined ineligible. The HPSR sought SHPO concurrence for eligibility determinations for the 16 historic properties identified. Historical Resources Evaluation Report for the South Coast 101 HOV Lanes Project JRP Historical Consulting authored the HRER for the South Coast 101 HOV Project in 2009. The study updated the Historic Architectural Survey Report (HASR) completed in 1992 by Gloria Scott for the Santa

Barbara Six Lane Project. The results of the HRER were that of the 66 historic era built environment resources in the study area, none were listed on the NRHP or CRHR; six appeared to be eligible for the NRHP and CRHR, one had local significance and was considered a historical resource under CEQA, and the remaining 59 properties were not eligible for the NRHP or CRHR and did not appear to be historical resources for the purposes of CEQA. Of these built environment resources, one, the Montecito Inn, is located in the current project’s Indirect APE and was determined eligible for the NRHP. One built environment resource, the Montecito Parkway, is located in the current project’s Direct APE and was determined ineligible for the NRHP. Historic Property Survey Report for the South Coast 101 HOV Lanes Project Terry L. Joslin of Caltrans authored the HPSR for the South Coast 101 HOV Lanes Project in 2010. The report summarizes the findings from the project’s HRER and ASR. Second Supplemental Historical Resources Evaluation Report for the South Coast 101 HOV Lanes Project Paula Juelke Carr of Caltrans authored the Second Supplemental HRER for the South Coast 101 HOV Lanes Project in 2010. The report was prepared to identify historic properties within an expanded APE for the project, and to augment the original HRER (2009) and Supplemental HRER (2010). Twelve additional parcels with historic-era built environment resources were identified within the expanded APE. Of these, seven properties that had previously been determined ineligible for the NRHP remained ineligible. A property previously determined eligible was found to have been demolished. Lastly, four previously unevaluated properties were determined ineligible for the NRHP. None of these resources are located within the current project’s APE.

2.1.2 Previously Recorded Cultural Resources The CHRIS records search identified 56 previously recorded, historic-era built environment resources within a 1.0-mile radius of the APE; one is within the Direct APE and one is within the Indirect APE. Further details on each of the resources are presented in Table 2 below.

2.2 Property Specific Research

Rincon conducted the historic context and property-specific research for this project February through June 2018. Rincon consulted with a number of archives, local governmental agencies, and individuals to identify relevant information regarding the historical development of the project vicinity. Research methodology focused on review of a variety of primary and secondary source materials relating to the history and development of the subject property. Sources included, but were not limited to, historical maps, aerial photographs, and written histories of the region. In addition, Rincon consulted the following archives, publications and sources: . City of Santa Barbara Designated Landmarks List, Designated Structures of Merit List, Potential Historic Resources List, Potential Historic Features and Landscape Elements List . County of Santa Barbara designated Landmarks list and Places of Historic Merit list . City of Santa Barbara Historic Resources Database . Nicole Hernandez, City of Santa Barbara Urban Historian .

2.3 Local Consultation

Rincon sent letters via U.S. Mail requesting information regarding potential historic resources in the area of the proposed project to the City of Santa Barbara Community Development Department, the County of Santa Barbara Planning and Development Department, the Gledhill Library, the Pearl Chase Society, the Montecito Association, the Santa Barbara Trust of Historic Preservation (SBTHP), and the Santa Barbara County Genealogical Society (SBCGS) on January 5, 2018. The results of that coordination are described in Table 3. On January 23 Sara Iza, planner with the City of Santa Barbara, replied via email stating there are no archaeology reports on file for the project area in the city’s database; also, the project area is not in a designated sensitive zone. She noted that the Montecito Inn is a city Structure of Merit. On January 25 Michael Imwalle of SBTHP replied via telephone; he stated that he believes the area is sensitive for archaeological resources and he believes site specific information could be found through a records search at the CCIC. On January 26 Rincon conducted follow-up calls to the County of Santa Barbara, Gledhill Library, Pearl Chase Society, Montecito Association, and SBCGS. Michael Redmon of the Gledhill Library stated he had no comment. Jeffrey Wilson of the County of Santa Barbara Planning and Development Department stated that he was not certain he received the letter and asked for another copy so that he could forward it to County Archaeologist Joyce Gerber for review. A copy was emailed to Mr. Wilson that same day. Patti Ottobani at the Pearl Chase Society stated that the organization had not retrieved its mail in a couple of weeks because of the Thomas Fire and debris flows. Subsequently, Rincon mailed a copy of the letter and map to their president, Steve Dowty. He replied that he would present the information at their next board meeting. Voicemail messages were left for the Montecito Association and SBCG. On January 27 Michel Nellis replied on behalf of SBCGS and stated that if the planned roundabout will not affect any structures, then nothing historically significant is at this location. On January 29 Laura Bridley replied via telephone on behalf of the Montecito Association. She pointed out the old Biltmore sign on Olive Mill Road and stated that she was not certain they received the outreach letter due to the Thomas Fire and debris flows. Rincon emailed her another copy. In an email from January 31 Ms. Bridley also recommended that Rincon reach out to the County archaeologist and review the Montecito Community Plan. On March 21, after speaking with Santa Barbara County Archaeologist/HLAC planner Joyce Gerber regarding another matter, Rincon followed up regarding the outreach letter. Ms. Gerber confirmed that Mr. Wilson sent it to her, but she still needed to present it to the HLAC for comment. On March 28 City of Santa Barbara Planner Sara Iza relayed to Rincon Project Manager Eric VonBerg via telephone that she had consulted with the City urban historian and they concurred with the finding from the South Coast 101 HOV Lanes Project regarding the (former) Montecito Parkway not being eligible due to a loss of integrity. All other actions were conducted by Rincon Architectural Historian Susan Zamudio-Gurrola (Appendix B).

Rincon Architectural Historian Susan Zamudio-Gurrola conducted an intensive-level pedestrian survey of the direct and indirect APE from public right-of-way on February 7, 2018. All buildings, structures, and objects of 45 years of age or older were examined within the direct and indirect APE. All properties more than 45 years old were analyzed for potential eligibility for inclusion in the NRHP, the CRHR and for local designation, and were recorded on Department of Parks and Recreation 523 series forms (Appendix C).

4 Historical Overview

4.1 History

Post-Contact history for the state of California is generally divided into three periods: the Spanish Period (1769–1822), Mexican Period (1822–1848), and American Period (1848–present). Although Spanish, Russian, and British explorers visited the area for brief periods between 1529 and 1769, the Spanish Period in California begins with the establishment in 1769 of a settlement at San Diego and the founding of Mission San Diego de Alcalá, the first of 21 missions constructed between 1769 and 1823. Independence from Spain in 1821 marks the beginning of the Mexican Period, and the signing of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in 1848, ending the Mexican-American War, signals the beginning of the American Period when California became a territory of the United States. 4.1.1 Spanish Period (1769–1822) Spanish explorers made sailing expeditions along the coast of what was then known as Alta (upper) California between the mid-1500s and mid-1700s. In 1542, while in search of the legendary Northwest Passage, Juan Rodríquez Cabríllo recorded a visit to the Santa Barbara area. Sebastian Vizcaíno also conducted exploration of the coast in 1602 and named the Santa Barbara Channel when his ship entered it on the feast day of Saint Barbara (Kyle 2002). The Spanish crown laid claim to Alta California based on the surveys conducted by Cabríllo and Vizcaíno (Bancroft 1885; Gumprecht 1999). By the 18th century Spain developed a three-pronged approach to secure its hold on the territory and counter against other foreign explorers. The Spanish established military forts known as presidios, as well as missions and pueblos (towns) throughout Alta California. The 1769 overland expedition by Captain Gaspár de Portolá marks the beginning of California’s Historic period, occurring just after the King of Spain installed the Franciscan Order to direct religious and colonization matters in assigned territories of the Americas. Portolá established the Presidio of San Diego as the first Spanish settlement in Alta California in 1769. Franciscan Fr. Junípero Serra also founded Mission San Diego de Alcalá that same year, the first of the 21 missions that would be established in Alta California by the Spanish and the Franciscan Order between 1769 and 1823.The Santa Barbara presidio was established in 1782 and the Santa Barbara Mission was founded four years later (Graffy 2010). The mission and presidio relied on Chumash labor; eventually, the majority of the native population lived at the mission complex (Cole 1999). A major emphasis during the Spanish Period in California was the construction of missions and associated presidios to integrate the Native American population into Christianity and communal enterprise. Incentives were also provided to bring settlers to pueblos or towns, but just three pueblos were established during the Spanish Period, only two of which were successful and remain as California cities (San José and Los Angeles). Spain began making land grants in 1784, typically to retiring soldiers, although the grantees were only permitted to inhabit and work the land. The land titles technically remained property of the Spanish king (Livingston 1914).

18 TY Lin International/City and County of Santa Barbara Historical Resources Evaluation Report Olive Mill Road Roundabout Project

4.1.2 Mexican Period (1822–1848) Several factors kept growth within Alta California to a minimum, including the threat of foreign invasion, political dissatisfaction, and unrest among the indigenous population. After more than a decade of intermittent rebellion and warfare, New Spain won independence from Spain in 1821. In 1822, the Mexican legislative body in California ended isolationist policies designed to protect the Spanish monopoly on trade, and decreed California ports open to foreign merchants (Dallas 1955). Extensive land grants were established in the interior during the Mexican Period, in part to increase the population inland from the more settled coastal areas where the Spanish had first concentrated their colonization efforts. The secularization of the missions following Mexico’s independence from Spain resulted in the subdivision of former mission lands and establishment of many additional ranchos. Commonly, former soldiers and well-connected Mexican families were the recipients of these land grants, which now included the title to the land. Forty-one ranchos were granted between 1835 and 1846 in what would become Santa Barbara County (Graffy 2010). During the supremacy of the ranchos (1834–1848), landowners largely focused on the cattle industry and devoted large tracts to grazing. Cattle hides became a primary southern California export, providing a commodity to trade for goods from the east and other areas in the United States and Mexico. The number of nonnative inhabitants increased during this period because of the influx of explorers, trappers, and ranchers associated with the land grants. The rising California population contributed to the introduction and rise of diseases foreign to the Native American population, who had no associated immunities. 4.1.3 American Period (1848–Present) The United States went to war with Mexico in 1846. During the first year of the war, John C. Fremont traveled from Monterey to Los Angeles with reinforcements for Commodore Stockton, and evaded Californian soldiers in Santa Barbara’s Gaviota Pass by taking the route over the San Marcos grade instead (Kyle 2002). The war ended in 1848 with the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, ushering California into its American Period. California officially became a state with the Compromise of 1850, which also designated Utah and New Mexico (with present-day Arizona) as U.S. territories (Waugh 2003). Horticulture and livestock, based primarily on cattle as the currency and staple of the rancho system, continued to dominate the southern California economy through 1850s. The discovery of gold in the northern part of the state led to the Gold Rush beginning in 1848, and with the influx of people seeking gold, cattle were no longer desired mainly for their hides but also as a source of meat and other goods. During the 1850s cattle boom, rancho vaqueros drove large herds from southern to northern California to feed that region’s burgeoning mining and commercial boom. A severe drought in the 1860s decimated cattle herds and drastically affected rancheros’ source of income. In addition, property boundaries that were loosely established during the Mexican era led to disputes with new incoming settlers, problems with squatters, and lawsuits. Rancheros often were encumbered by debt and the cost of legal fees to defend their property. As a result much of the rancho lands were sold or otherwise acquired by Americans. Most of these ranchos were subdivided into agricultural parcels or towns (Dumke 1944).

4.2 Santa Barbara

In 1851 Captain Salisbury Haley surveyed and laid out the streets of the City of Santa Barbara and by 1860 its population was over 2,300 people. Catastrophic drought during 1863-1864 ruined grazing lands and led to many rancheros losing or selling off their land, providing additional property for a growing population. The first wharf in the city was built at the foot of Chapala Street in 1869, followed by Stearns Wharf at the foot of State Street, built in 1872 (City of Santa Barbara 2016). Charles Nordhoff, a New York journalist, visited Santa Barbara in 1872 and extolled its merits, drawing many people to the city. By the following year Ventura County was created and separated from Santa Barbara County. The Southern Pacific Railroad arrived in Santa Barbara in 1887, which further advanced tourism and relocation to the area. That year the California land speculation boom peaked in the city. By 1890 the city’s population had grown to over 5,800 people (City of Santa Barbara 2016). Wealthy visitors were drawn to the area by the beautiful scenery, climate, and establishments such as the lavish Potter Hotel (Graffy 2010). In the early 1920s the Santa Barbara Community Arts Association organized a Plans and Planting division to focus on the beautification of the city. The city’s Planning Commission was also established and Santa Barbara was one of the first cities in the country at the time to consider historic preservation during the planning process (City of Santa Barbara 2016). A major earthquake in 1925 damaged many structures in the city. The city’s first Architectural Board of Review was organized to review architectural plans for post-earthquake re-building. Since the 1920s, Spanish and traditional Mediterranean architectural styles have been advocated for building within the city (City of Santa Barbara 2016). The city continued to expand over the following decades, benefitting from the discovery of a large off shore oil field in the late 1920s, the opening of a new airport in the Goleta area in the 1930s, and post- war population growth (City of Santa Barbara 2016; NETR Online 1947 and 1967). It was during the post- war era that the undeveloped land dividing the communities of Santa Barbara and Montecito was filled in by primarily residential development as the two communities grew (NETR Online, var.).

5.2 Montecito

Located just outside the City of Santa Barbara to the east, Montecito lies within an unincorporated portion of Santa Barbara County. Montecito’s first residential settlement consisted primarily of retired soldiers from the Santa Barbara Presidio. Among these early residents were prominent families such as the Juarez, Romero, Dominguez, Lopez, Ayala, Cota, Pollorena, Garcia, Gutierrez and Lorenzana families. The area where they settled is known as Old Spanish Town and is located just west of the intersection of East Valley and Hot Springs roads, extending to the east banks of Montecito Creek (Myrick 1987; Montecito Association 2011). By the mid-1800s Anglo settlers began acquiring land in Montecito and the area’s character began changing. Montecito’s soil and climate were found to be excellent for growing fruit and vegetable crops, including grapes, citrus, almond and ornamental trees, and flowers (Myrick 1987; Mason 1883). The success of the Crocker-Sperry Ranch and the San Ysidro Ranch brought recognition to the Montecito Valley as a citrus producer (Montecito Association 2011). A small business area also developed near East

20 TY Lin International/City and County of Santa Barbara Historical Resources Evaluation Report Olive Mill Road Roundabout Project

Valley and San Ysidro roads consisting of a general store, blacksmith, butcher shop, and later, a post office, library, and community hall (Montecito Association 2011). Tourists also were lured to Montecito’s attractions which included an oversized grapevine known as La Parra Grande and hot springs that were alleged to have the ability to cure health ailments (Myrick 1987). Both the Biltmore Hotel and the Montecito Inn were developed in the late 1920s (Scott 1992). Montecito’s rustic beauty enticed wealthy industrialists to return and build large winter estates in the Montecito Valley. Even wealthier “Hill Barons,” such as the DuPonts, Rockefellers, Carnegies, and McCormicks built mansions on hillsides and ridgelines, which possessed magnificent views. By the 1920s, Montecito had become known for its millionaire socialites and their parties, country clubs, polo, and tennis matches (Montecito Association 2011). Also during the 1920s, residents of Montecito became proactively engaged in the planning and growth of the community, creating the Montecito Protective Covenant, and drafting a land use ordinance which was adopted by the County Board of Supervisors in 1929 and was updated several times over the subsequent decades (County of Santa Barbara 1992). The Montecito Parkway was developed over a period of eleven years across approximately 1.6 miles of the community of Montecito. In 1937 the first portion was completed from Olive Mill Road to Miramar Avenue. Interrupted by World War II, the remaining section reaching Sheffield Drive was constructed in 1948. The parkway was intended to provide an attractive entry into the City of Santa Barbara, encourage traveling motorists to stop in the community, and improve local traffic conditions for those entering or crossing the highway. The parkway included the four-lane state highway (two lanes traveling in each direction separated by a median strip), and two parallel frontage roads on the north and the south sides of the highway with access to the highway at fixed intervals. However, just six years later, in 1955, the Montecito Parkway’s configuration and appearance was significantly altered when the state built the four-lane divided freeway; these alterations included depressing the roadway, removing intersections at Olive Mill and San Ysidro roads, constructing bridges over the freeway, re-routing its western terminus further to the south, and constructing on- and off-ramps which caused the frontage roads to be realigned as well (Scott 1992; JRP 2009). Commercial development and other infrastructure developed in Montecito during the post-war years reflect the community’s growth. Its population tripled from 3,000 in 1928 to 9,500 by 1978. The Montecito Sanitary District was created in 1947 and its wastewater treatment plant was constructed in the 1961 (Gibbs 2008; Montecito Sanitary District 2009). Other developments included the Coast Village Road Shopping Center which was constructed in the 1960s (Gilbar 2015). However, the rapid growth of Montecito eventually led to concerns about the community’s character and its water, sewer and infrastructure capacities. Subsequently, local government took legislative action to limit permitted projects and slow growth through a Growth Management Plan (County of Santa Barbara 1992). Most recently, development has spread to the southeast and north into the mountains (Montecito Association 2011). Montecito was in the path of a fire that began on December 4, 2017 in central Ventura County and affected various communities in both Ventura and Santa Barbara counties. Known as the Thomas Fire, it burned 281,893 acres and became the largest fire in California’s modern recorded history. In addition to damaging or destroying over 1300 structures, the fire damaged the watershed in Ventura and Santa

TY Lin International/City and County of Santa Barbara 21 Historical Overview

Barbara counties. On January 9, 2018 a strong rain event triggered debris flows and flash floods which destroyed 166 structures and damaged 395 more in Santa Barbara County, and killed 21 people in the community of Montecito (Lehenbauer, et. al. 2018). Since the disaster, hundreds of emergency rescue, cleanup, and rehabilitation crews have worked around the clock to remove the millions of pounds of mud and debris and restore and rebuild the community (Schmidt 2018).

3.2 Coast Village Road

The commercial strip that today is known as Coast Village Road has its origins as a portion of the Old Coast Highway (aka Pacific Coast Highway or Route 1). The strip of road originally was located in an unincorporated part of the county and served as both a local connector road between Hot Springs and Olive Mill roads, and as an entry to the city of Santa Barbara (Hazard 2017). By the late 1920s early commercial ventures were developed near the intersection with Olive Mill Road. The small commercial hub formed by the early 1930s was composed of the Montecito Inn, the commercial buildings located adjacent on the west and across the street, and service stations at the corners (Beresford 2018). As described by one source, in its early years, this road was a “hap-hazard highway stop” with eateries, gas stations, and motor courts and motels (Hazard 2017). Through the late 1940s the section of Old Coast Highway west of Olive Mill Road was still sparsely developed on the north side of the road. Vacant lots were interspersed amid low-scale development, and the land was dotted with clusters of large trees (NETR Online 1947).

Sherrill Broudy, a designer and architect who had moved to Santa Barbara in 1956, was largely responsible for the transformation of the strip into a unified shopping area. Broudy’s vision for the strip intended to change its character by applying a more defined architectural style, and replacing the mixture of motor courts and eateries with more upscale retail operations. Starting in the mid-1950s he began acquiring property in the area, and designed projects such as the nine-unit Old Coast Apartments near the west end of the strip. He later sold the apartment building and bought property at the corner of Old Coast Highway and Hot Springs Road. In his effort to improve the area, Broudy appealed to other property owners on the strip to form the Coast Village Association, and he served as its president. Broudy began to work on a master plan of the area to guide its growth and development, and study how to relate the property to the larger communities of Santa Barbara and Montecito (Gilbar 2015). In 1960 the city of Santa Barbara annexed the entire strip while offering to install a sewer system, which was greatly supported by the area business owners. That same year the thoroughfare’s name was changed from Old Coast Highway to Coast Village Road, after Broudy petitioned the city council to do so (Gilbar 2015). Additional improvements to the road completed in 1968 included changing its plan to the present two lanes plus a parking lane, and adding landscaped islands and signage. A smaller street called Coast Village Circle was created south of and parallel to Coast Village Road (Gilbar 2015). Branching off the main road, it led to parking spaces for businesses on the southern side of the road and allowed for better traffic flow on the main road. Broudy’s property at the corner of Hot Springs Road was sold to Ray Conners Jr. who developed the Coast Village Road Shopping Center on it and the adjacent property in the early to mid-1960s (Gilbar 2015; NETR Online 1967). Over the years, Broudy bought additional property on Coast Village Road where he developed the Villa Fontana apartments and an office building which headquartered his

22 TY Lin International/City and County of Santa Barbara Historical Resources Evaluation Report Olive Mill Road Roundabout Project architectural ornament manufacturing company, Forms & Surfaces (Gilbar 2015). By the late 1960s the strip was mostly developed and appeared much like it does today (NETR Online, various).

5 Description of Cultural Resources

The APE is situated between the Pacific Ocean to the south and the Santa Ynez Mountains to the north in an urbanized area that lies partly within the City of Santa Barbara and partly within the community of Montecito in unincorporated Santa Barbara County. The area is characterized by a mixture of commercial and residential uses, and a state highway. Centered on the Olive Mill Road/Coast Village Road/North Jameson Lane intersection, the APE extends westerly along Coast Village Road to slightly past the intersection with Coast Village Circle. There are a number of commercial properties along the north and south sides of Coast Village Road. The APE extends northerly along Olive Mill Road into a residential neighborhood, and southerly over Highway 101 into a residential neighborhood. The APE extends easterly along a small portion of Virginia Road, and along North Jameson Lane and South Jameson Lane into residential neighborhoods. The APE also includes the Olive Mill Road off-ramp on northbound Highway 101. A site located approximately one mile to the west at the northeast corner of Cabrillo Boulevard and Los Patos Way will be utilized as a staging area for the project. This site is included in the previously approved APE for the Cabrillo Boulevard Pedestrian and Bicycle Improvements and Replacement of the Union Pacific Railroad Bridge Project (HSIPL-6090(059)). The Montecito Inn (Map Reference No. 1), which is a City Designated Structure of Merit and eligible for the NRHP with SHPO concurrence, is located at the southwestern corner of the intersection of Olive Mill and Coast Village roads. It is a four-story hotel built in the Spanish Colonial Revival style in 1928. Northwest of the aforementioned intersection are three commercial properties (one of which currently contains a new mixed-use building under construction), a single-family residence and a multi-family residence (Map Reference Nos. 2, 3, 4 and 5). One of the commercial properties, 1286-1290 Coast Village Road (Map Reference No. 3) is recommended eligible for the NRHP with one contributing building as a part of this study. Northeast of the intersection are two single-family residences (Map Reference Nos. 6 and 7). Located in the median between North Jameson Lane and the Olive Mill Road off-ramp is a pole sign with neon lettering (Map Reference No. 8) advertising the Biltmore/Four Seasons Hotel which is located further south on Olive Mill Road. Remnants of what was once the Montecito Parkway (transformed into U.S. 101) run through the APE in an east-west direction (Map Reference No. 9). Bridge No. 51-0186K (Olive Mill Road On-Ramp Separation) spans over Highway 101 in a southeasterly direction (Map Reference No. 10). Bridge No. 51-0031 (Olive Mill Road Overcrossing) spans over Highway 101 in a southerly direction (Map Reference No. 11). A wooden street sign announcing Coast Village Road is located on a median in front of the Montecito Inn west of Olive Mill Road (Map Reference No. 12). All of the properties mentioned above (with the exception of the two bridges) were recorded on State of California Department of Parks and Recreation Series 523 Forms (DPR forms) which are provided in Attachment C. There are also various property types present in the APE that meet the criteria for the Section 106 PA Attachment 4 as ubiquitous elements; these require no further evaluation for historical significance. These include property types categorized under Property Type 1, such as signs, sidewalks, curbs, and utility services.

7 Conclusions

Of the 12 historic-period properties within the APE, four have been previously evaluated and eight were evaluated as a part of the current undertaking. One property, the Montecito Inn (Map Reference No. 1) has previously been determined eligible for listing in the NRHP with SHPO concurrence. As a part of this study, one property, 1286-1290 Coast Village Road (Map Reference No. 3), is recommended eligible for listing in the NRHP at the local level with one contributing building. Both properties are considered historical resources under CEQA. The remaining 10 properties are not eligible for federal, state or local designation and are not considered historical resources for the purposes of CEQA. Montecito Inn (Map Reference No. 1), 1295 Coast Village Road, was evaluated in 1991-1992 and was found ineligible for inclusion in the NRHP due to alterations and a loss of integrity (Kane, Crockett and Scott 1991; Scott 1992). The SHPO concurred with the finding in 1993 (Craigo 1993). The property was re-evaluated by JRP Historical Consulting in 2008 who found that it retained sufficient integrity to convey its significance and found it eligible for the NRHP at the local level under Criteria A and C for its Spanish Revival style architecture, for its association with the Santa Barbara area’s tourism and hotel boom in the years following the 1925 earthquake, and the trend of roadside accommodations for motor tourists. In 2011 the SHPO concurred with this finding (Donaldson 2011). The City of Santa Barbara determined that the property was also eligible for local listing and the property was designated as a City Structure of Merit on November 29, 2017 (Hernandez 2017; City of Santa Barbara 2018). Its period of significance is 1928, its year of construction, and its boundary is the legal boundary for parcel no. 009-292-007. 1286-1290 Coast Village Road (Map Reference No. 3): The commercial property at 1286-1290 Coast Village Road (Map Reference No. 3) is recommended eligible for listing in the NRHP at the local level of significance and for local designation with one contributing building. Built in 1929, the original, main building on the property appears eligible under Criterion A as a largely intact example of one of the earliest businesses developed on this section of the Old Coast Highway (before becoming Coast Village Road, a city street). It was part of an early commercial and service hub directed towards the motoring public at the intersection of the Old Coast Highway and present day Olive Mill Road which, by the early 1930s, included two service stations (no longer extant) and the Montecito Inn (extant). Additionally, the contributing building on the property is recommended eligible under Criterion C for exemplifying the architectural style that was embraced by the City of Santa Barbara following the destructive 1925 earthquake which in turn established the city’s unique identity. Constructed just four years after the earthquake and showcasing features of the Spanish Revival and the Monterey Revival styles, the building is significant within a local context of this type and period of construction in the Montecito community. The property as a whole does not retain sufficient integrity to be eligible for listing in the NRHP because of the degree of alterations undertaken on the property. Two (out of three) of the buildings were constructed in the 1940s and have been enlarged and altered, thus, they are considered non- contributive to the property’s significance. The original main building retains sufficient integrity to convey its historical significance, therefore it is the only contributing building. Its period of significance is 1929, its year of construction.

TY Lin International/City and County of Santa Barbara 27 Findings

For the same reasons discussed above, the original, main building appears eligible for local designation under City of Santa Barbara criteria A, D, and F. While other properties along Coast Village Road are outside of the current project’s APE, the area was considered as a potential historic district. Much of the commercial development along Coast Village Road west of the project intersection was developed between the 1950s and 2000s, decades after the Montecito Inn and the original building at 1286-1290 Coast Village Road were constructed. The properties on Coast Village Road immediately surrounding the two aforementioned properties include a property currently under construction with a new mixed-use development and several altered commercial buildings, many of which have been previously evaluated and recommended ineligible for the NRHP. These include 1101, 1277-1279 and 1269-1275 Coast Village Road, which were evaluated in 1992 by Gloria Scott for Caltrans as part of the Carpinteria-Santa Barbara Median Widening and Interchange Project. During this study, Scott identified three potential NRHP-eligible districts which SHPO concurred with; however, no potential districts were identified along Coast Village Road. In 2009, as part of the South Coast 101 High Occupancy Vehicle Project, JRP Historical Consulting completed an HRER which reassessed the inventory and evaluations in the 1992 study. This effort included a re-evaluation of the Montecito Inn at 1295 Coast Village Road. JRP Historical Consulting did not identify any potential historic district in the vicinity. Consultation with the City of Santa Barbara’s urban historian indicates that no potential district is believed to exist on Coast Village Road. The undertaking will have no effect (as defined by 36 CFR §800.16(i)), on the two historic properties present within the Indirect APE: the Montecito Inn (Map Reference No. 1) and the contributing (original) building at 1286-1290 Coast Village Road (Map Reference No. 3). The improvements proposed as part of the project will not alter the characteristics of the historic properties that qualify them for inclusion in or eligibility for the NRHP. For the Montecito Inn, this includes: its location and exterior appearance; its original layout, massing, and fenestration patterns; character-defining features such as hipped tile roof, columned arched arcade, eight-over-eight double-hung windows, multiple-pane and arched first floor windows, tower, and underground parking garage (JRP Historical Consulting 2008). For the contributing building at 1286-1290 Coast Village Road, this includes: its location and the character-defining features of its Spanish/Monterey Revival architectural style such as smooth stucco cladding, hipped and shed roofs clad with barrel tile, wooden balcony with carved brackets and carved rafter tails, a three-bay façade with engaged pilasters, and wood-sash multi-paned windows and wooden doors.

The building has undergone various alterations, including the following: an addition was built at the northeast corner in the 1950s; an arched automobile entrance was cut into the building in 1957-1958; the original courtyard was demolished; curved one-story additions were built flanking the automobile entrance (appear to date to the 1980s); a sundeck, spa, sauna, massage rooms and outdoor pool were added at the rear of the building in 1982; window shutters and window boxes were installed on the one-story additions; the fenestration at street level was reconfigured; and the interior was remodeled in 1957 and in 1982 (Kane, Crockett, Scott 1991).

The property was previously evaluated in 1991, and following SHPO concurrence in 1993, was determined ineligible for listing in the NRHP due to substantial alterations and a loss of integrity (Kane, Crockett and Scott 1991; Craigo 1993). The property was given a California Register Historical Resource Status Code of 6Y, “Determined ineligible for NR by consensus through Section 106 process – Not evaluated for CR or Local Listing.” (California Office of Historic Preservation 2012).

The subject property was re-evaluated in 2008-2009 and was found retain sufficient integrity to convey its historical significance. Following SHPO concurrence in 2011, it was determined eligible for the NRHP and CRHR under Criteria A/1 and C/3 for its association with the Santa Barbara area’s tourism and hotel construction boom in the years immediately following the 1925 earthquake, the trend of providing roadside accommodations tailored specifically to motor tourists, and for its Spanish Revival style architecture. The property was given a Status Code of 3, “Appears eligible for National Register (NR) or California Register (CR) through Survey Evaluation.” (JRP Historical Consulting 2008 and 2009; Donaldson 2011).

In 2017 the property and its previous evaluations were studied by the City of Santa Barbara’s urban historian, and the property was placed on the City’s Designated Structure of Merit list (Hernandez 2017; City of Santa Barbara 2018).

The current survey update of the property was conducted on February 7, 2018 as part of the Historical Resources Evaluation Report for the Coast Village Road/North Jameson/Olive Mill Road/U.S. 101 Intersection Project. Alterations since the property was last evaluated include interior tenant improvements and installation of antennas and remote radio units in 2017. A new entrance drive was laid down, landscaping was replaced and re-painting was completed in 2018 following damage from a natural disaster (City of Santa Barbara, various; Palminteri 2018). These alterations do not affect the previous finding of eligibility; there is no additional information to suggest that the property is no longer eligible for listing in the NRHP or as a City Structure of Merit.

*P3a. Description: (Describe resource and its major elements. Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, setting, and boundaries)

The subject property is a 0.8-acre rectangular parcel containing a one-story commercial building designed in the Spanish Revival style. Rectangular in plan, the building has no setback from the public right-of-way. The southern end of the building and its façade are covered by a sloped roof clad with red barrel tile, while the rear approximately 2/3 of the building is covered by flat roofs. Its symmetrical façade is divided into two bays which reflect two storefronts, and evenly spaced exposed rafter tails span the width of the façade underneath the roofline. Each of the two storefronts includes a centered, recessed entry door flanked by large, single- pane, wood sash windows, under which are bulkheads with raised, rectangular center panels. Beyond this general symmetry, the two storefronts have several differences. The western entrance is accessed via a concrete stoop featuring large, rectangular, beige tiles and an iron railing. Its single entry door appears to be wooden with two square glass panes. The eastern entrance is accessed via two steps covered with square beige tiles. Its single wooden entry door has four panels and a mail slot. The western storefront features a transom above the entrance and display windows, while the eastern storefront does not. A black fabric awning is mounted over each storefront. No landscaping was noted on the property.

Original permits were not located and the original property owner, architect and builder were not ascertained. A review of historic aerial photographs, city directories, and Sanborn maps indicates that the building was constructed between 1931 and 1939 (Beresford 2018; Santa Barbara Directory Co. 1939; Sanborn Fire Insurance Co. 1942). The earliest record of a permit on file, granted to H.G. Sartwell, dates to April 15, 1937; however, it does not state a description of work. The name may have been misspelled as H.J. Sartwell was listed in the 1938 city directory as operating a beauty shop at 1139 Coast Highway. This may have been a previous or an alternate address for the subject property. Before Coast Village Road was named as such, it was part of the Coast Highway. Sanborn Fire Insurance Maps show the subject property was addressed as 1135-1137 Coast Highway in 1942 (Sanborn Fire Insurance Co. 1942).

Early tenants identified in 1939 include an individual named P.M. Myers and a gift shop called Marshall Neal & Co. At the time, Dorothy Knight operated the shop. A few years later, in 1941, Dorothy and her husband George C. Knight operated the Villa Rosa Shop, which sold antiques, gifts, linens and silverware, within the same building. Glenn Morrey appears to have taken over the gift shop which remained at the location through at least 1951. Morrey applied for a permit to build a warehouse on the property in 1945. Additional tenants throughout the years have included: Louis Miratti Jr. who owned the El Camino Pharmacy (located at the adjacent property to the east); C.H. Benoist who worked in real estate; Marian deGruchy, a draftsman; a watch/jewelry shop; auto repair shops; clothing, antiques, toy and lingerie stores; and offices for American Title & Escrow, Fidelity National Title & Escrow Company and Coldwell Banker. The address appears to have been changed to 1284 Coast Village Road by 1961 (Santa Barbara Directory Co., various; R.L. Polk & Co., various).

Between 1979 and 1991 the property owner on record alternated between Santana Properties, Santana Realty, Ana Bacotich, and 1284 Associates or 1284 Partners. See continuation sheet, p. 4.

*Recorded by: Susan Zamudio-Gurrola *Date: March 16, 2018  Continuation  Update B10. Significance (continued):

By 2004 the owner was listed as the Edwin B. and Mary Ellen Bishop Trust. In 2006 the owners were listed as either Bishop Bypass Trust or Jim Dykstra. Teresa Mc Williams obtained the property by 2015 (City of Santa Barbara Community Development, var.).

Permitted alterations to the building include: canvas awnings with metal supports installed in 1980, a reinforced concrete block wall constructed at the rear property line in 1984, possible replacement of the storefront window(s) in 1986, wooden molding applied across the façade above the windows in 1991, awning replacements in 2004 and 2015, roof tile replacement in 2006, and various signs have been added and removed over the years. It is likely that the eastern storefront once had a transom above the entrance and display windows, similar to what exists on the western storefront. Although not reflected in building permit records, one of the transoms may have been filled in. Additionally, the steps leading to the two entrances on the façade differ in size, design and materials; these alterations were also not documented in building permit records.

Based on current research, the property is not associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the patterns of our history, nor is it directly associated with any persons significant in our past. Therefore, it is not eligible for the NRHP or CRHR under Criteria A/1 or B/2. Built in the 1930s in the Spanish Revival style, the building has undergone various alterations, particularly on the façade, which diminish its integrity and its ability to convey the Spanish Revival style. The building does not have distinctive architectural merit for its type, period or method of construction. It does not represent the work of a master or possess high artistic values. Additionally, the property does not represent a significant and distinguishable entity whose components lack individual distinction. Much of the commercial development along Coast Village Road west of the subject property was developed between the 1950s and 2000s, well after the subject property was developed. The immediately surrounding properties include: the adjacent property to the east which contains buildings dating from 1929 to 1946; a property currently under construction with a new mixed-use development; the Montecito Inn which was built in 1928; and several altered commercial buildings, many of which have been previously evaluated and recommended ineligible for the NRHP. These include 1101, 1277-1279 and 1269-1275 Coast Village Road, which were evaluated in 1992 by Gloria Scott for Caltrans as part of the Carpinteria-Santa Barbara Median Widening and Interchange Project. During this study, Scott identified three potential NRHP- eligible districts which SHPO concurred with; however, no potential districts were identified along Coast Village Road. In 2009, as part of the South Coast 101 High Occupancy Vehicle Project, JRP Historical Consulting completed an HRER which reassessed the inventory and evaluations in the 1992 study. This effort included a re-evaluation of the Montecito Inn at 1295 Coast Village Road. JRP Historical Consulting did not identify any potential historic district in the vicinity. Consultation with the City of Santa Barbara’s urban historian indicates that no potential district is believed to exist on Coast Village Road. Therefore, the property is not eligible under Criteria C/3. Finally, there is no information to indicate that the property has the potential to yield information important to prehistory or history (Criteria D/4). In conclusion, the subject property is not eligible for listing in the California or National registers. For the same reasons described above, the property does not appear to be eligible for designation as a City Landmark or Structure of Merit under any criteria (A through K).

*P3a. Description: (Describe resource and its major elements. Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, setting, and boundaries) The subject property is a 0.16-acre parcel containing three office buildings; two fronting Coast Village Road and one at the rear northeast corner of the property. The original, main building was constructed in 1929 featuring elements of the Spanish and Monterey revival styles, and is composed of a two-story section covered by hipped roofs, and a one-story section covered by a shed roof at the front and a flat roof at the rear. The flat roof supports a deck with a railing along its perimeter. Roofs are clad with red barrel tile. A second-story balcony with a wooden railing wraps around the façade and west elevation of the building and is sheltered by the broadly overhanging roof which is supported by square wooden posts with carved brackets. Exposed rafter tails with carved ends are visible beneath the balcony. Exterior staircases are located north and west of the main building. At the ground story, the façade is separated into three bays by engaged pilasters. Clad in smooth stucco, its fenestration includes multi- paned bay and casement windows which appear to be non-original wood sash. The single entry doors facing Coast Village Road appear to be non-original wooden doors with glazing above rectangular panels. The doors are surrounded by casing and topped by broken pediments. Black awnings are mounted across the façade of the main building, sheltering the bay windows. To the west of the main building is a walkway followed by a second, narrow, one-story building constructed in 1946. The entry to the walkway is gated and is framed by the buildings and a parapet wall above, on which the words Paseo El Camino are painted. A third building at the rear of the property is not visible from the public right-of-way; it was originally built between 1938 and 1942 and later enlarged. Based on a photo in the city permit file, it is one-story and clad with stucco. Its main entrance is recessed beneath a roof overhang supported by wooden post and lintel. Its roof is oddly configured, likely the result of a shed roof that has been extended over the years. The roof also features exposed rafter tails and is clad with barrel tile.

Significance: Theme: Commercial development Area: Montecito Period of Significance: 1929 Property Type: Commercial Applicable Criteria: A, C Built in 1929 as a store and apartments for Wright Nelson Whittemore and Dr. Eugene H. Lyman, the wood-frame and stucco building was valued at $20,000. Whittemore came to Santa Barbara from Detroit; he worked in real estate and crafted jewelry (Los Angeles Times 1927; City Directories, various; Lapidary Journal Inc. 1947). Lyman was a dentist, and both men’s offices were on Santa Barbara’s State Street at one time (City Directories, various). The building was designed by Henry W. Howell (who is on the City of Santa Barbara’s list of local master architects and designers) and was constructed by Elmer Whittaker (City of Santa Barbara, various). Howell had worked as a junior architect/partner in the well-known firm of Edwards, Plunkett & Howell for three years, but left the firm by 1929 (Post/Hazeltine 2005). Whittaker, the building contractor, was also a well-known Santa Barbara resident who had arrived in the city in 1911 and first worked as a manual arts teacher, then in construction. He retained a significant amount of work in the years following the devastating 1925 earthquake; it has been estimated that he worked on approximately 200 homes and commercial buildings. Whittaker is probably best known for acquiring the Cañedo adobe, a former soldier’s home located on the grounds of the Royal Spanish Presidio of Santa Barbara, and rehabilitating it into his residence. Working on various other significant buildings in the city such as the Trussell-Winchester adobe, the Charles Fernald mansion, and the Santa Barbara Historical Museum, he made a name for himself in the field of historic preservation (Redmon 2013).

Louis Miratti and his family occupied the upper floor shortly after the building was constructed, and Miratti operated a drugstore on the first floor (U.S. Department of Commerce 1930; Crabtree 2017). Louis Miratti Sr. was an Italian who emigrated to Santa Barbara while in his early 20s. Miratti Sr. started in the pharmacy business in 1912 with the Santa Barbara Drug Company, followed by the Columbia Drug Company which was located on State Street and then on Victoria Street. His son Louis Miratti Jr. later became a registered pharmacist (S.J. Clarke Publishing Co. 1927). See continuation sheet, p. 4.

*Recorded by: S. Zamudio-Gurrola and S. Carmack *Date: January 24, 2019  Continuation  Update P3a. Description, continued: A wide set of rounded steps covered with various types of tile leads to the main entrance, which consists of multi-paned French doors flanked by similar multi-paned windows. No landscaping was noted from the public ROW, and the city permit file photos show a central paved courtyard area between the buildings.

B10. Significance, continued: As seen in an aerial photo from 1931, the subject property originally was developed with the main building which features a central two-story and an eastern one-story element (Beresford 2018). Additional tenants in the early 1930s included Leland Schaller’s cleaning and pressing, and S.T. Van Dusen’s antique shop (City Directories, various). A detached accessory building with a square plan appears to have been built to the rear of the main building between 1938 and 1942. Also by 1942 a small square addition appears to have been built at the southwest corner of the building. At this time the building was addressed as 1141, 1143 and 1145 Coast Highway (UCSB Map and Imagery Lab 1938; Sanborn Fire Co. 1942). In 1945 Miratti obtained a permit to lengthen the small storeroom building at the rear of the property. The following year, in 1946, Miratti, Jr., obtained a permit to construct an office: the narrow one-story building on the western end of the parcel. This effectively created the passageway between it and the main building. However, the passageway was not as long as it appears today because the footprint of the western office building was originally 12’x40’ (later enlarged). The original architect for this building was Chester Carjola (City of Santa Barbara, var.).

Carjola was an architect who worked primarily in Santa Barbara from the 1930s through the mid-1960s. Born in Minnesota, he received a B.A. in architecture from the University of Minnesota in 1928. He moved to Santa Barbara in 1930 with his wife Jean and worked first as a draftsman, then established his own practice. One of his early residential commissions was for the Waters Jr. House, an English Tudor Revival style home built in Montecito in 1932. Carjola designed buildings in various period revival styles that were popular at the time. Some of his better known works include the Fleischmann Auditorium at the Santa Barbara Natural History Museum, a library and a planetarium for the Natural History Museum, and the library at University of California, Santa Barbara. Carjola was joined by a partner, Frank Greer, in approximately 1960 (Post/Hazeltine Associates 2015).

It appears that Miratti sold the El Camino Pharmacy around the late 1940s to early 1950s, but the pharmacy continued to operate at the subject property for many more years. By 1954 Miratti was reportedly operating San Ysidro Pharmacy in Montecito’s Upper Village (Crabtree 2017). That same year, the new owner of the subject property, James H. Lewis, obtained a building permit to complete alterations on the main building’s façade, described as “alteration of front - square arches & alter show windows”. By this time, the storeroom building at the rear of the property had been further expanded into an L-shaped structure. The following year a Pacific Telephone Co. substation/repeater station was built on the rear of the lot (City of Santa Barbara, var.).

Additional alterations were completed to the property during the 1960s: in 1961 the small western building was enlarged by 12’ towards the rear of the property; in 1964 a door opening was created on the east side of the main building; in 1965 the storeroom building was enlarged with a 8’x20’ addition. In approximately 1968 a portion of the main building’s second floor (interior) was converted from residential use to office use, although this was not legalized until the late 1980s (City of Santa Barbara, var.).

By the late 1970s the property owner was listed as Leone H. Murphy. During Murphy’s ownership, substantial work was completed which has included: repairs to an exterior stairway in 1979; in 1984 portions of the west wall and roof of the rear building were removed, a portion of the roof on the eastern end of the main building was converted into a deck for tenants’ use, the interior courtyard was paved with concrete, structural modifications were made to the northwest corner of the main building (details were not given), the western building was converted into restaurant space; in 1985 the pharmacy space was remodeled into office space after El Camino Pharmacy vacated the premises, new window openings were created in the eastern wall of the main building, an exterior staircase at the main building was built, approximately 50 sq. ft. of patio/planter space and a fountain were constructed in the central courtyard area, and a covered porch was added to the rear building. In 1988 the restaurant space in the western building was converted back into retail space (City of Santa Barbara, var.). A variety of commercial tenants have occupied the three buildings over the years, including the El Camino Pharmacy, Cito’s Restaurant, retail stores The Missing Piece, Memaw’s Gift Store, Discoveries Fine Gifts, Lewis & Clark, and a wine store, and offices for Sears Realty, Prudential Realty, and Coldwell Banker (City of Santa Barbara, var.; City Directories, var.).

The subject property is not associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the patterns of national history. However, the original, main building on the property is a fairly intact example of the earliest commercial development during the late 1920s of this section of the Old Coast Highway, part of the state highway also known as Route 101; therefore, the building is found to be significant for its association with the early 20th century growth and development of the Montecito community. Another extant building at this intersection from the same time period, and which retains integrity, is the Montecito Inn which was constructed one year earlier in 1928, and is located directly across the street. At the time of their construction, these two buildings were prominent at the intersection of Coast Highway and Olive Mill Road. See continuation sheet, p. 5. DPR 523L (1/95) *Required information State of California  The Resources Agency Primary # DEPARTMENT OF PARKS AND RECREATION HRI# CONTINUATION SHEET Trinomial Page 5 of 7 *Resource Name or # 1286-1290 Coast Village Road (Map Reference No. 3)

*Recorded by: S. Zamudio-Gurrola and S. Carmack *Date: January 24, 2019  Continuation  Update B10. Significance, continued: The commercial development that began from that intersection towards the west defined the eastern entrance into the City of Santa Barbara, and provided services to the local Montecito community as well as traveling motorists. Over the subsequent decades, both sides of the road continued to develop into the commercial strip that exists today.

As a whole, the property’s integrity of design, workmanship and materials has been affected due to the additional development and subsequent alterations that occurred within the subject property through the 1980s. Because the rear and western buildings on the property were built approximately 10 and 17 years (respectively) after the original building, and were later enlarged and altered, they do not contribute to the property’s significance. However, the alterations to the original, main building have not markedly diminished its integrity or its ability to convey its historical significance as an extant example of one of the earliest commercial buildings on the Old Coast Highway in Montecito. Individually, the original, main building appears to retain sufficient integrity to be eligible for listing in the NRHP and CRHR at the local level of significance under Criteria A/1 for its association with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of local or regional history. Archival research did not uncover direct associations with any persons significant in our past. One of its original owners, Wright Nelson Whittemore, was a successful businessman whose family appeared frequently in the society pages; however, he does not appear to have made any substantial contributions in national, state or local history. Although the property was owned for some time by Louis Miratti, a well-known local resident and pharmacist, Miratti also owned or operated pharmacies at other locations such as on State Street and in Montecito’s Upper Village. Therefore, the property is not eligible under Criteria B/2.

As a whole, the property does not have distinctive merit for an architectural type, period or method of construction. It does not have a holistic or cohesive design as the three buildings and hardscape elements were constructed at different times between 1929 and the 1980s. While the commercial complex aims to achieve the characteristic Santa Barbara Spanish style, the rear building’s current appearance is the result of additions and alterations, as it originally was built as a storeroom and later converted to office space. The western building, with a diminutive 12’ wide façade, features only the most basic character-defining features of the Spanish Revival style. Various alterations and additions that have been made to the buildings over the years in response to the needs of changing owners and tenants have reduced the property’s integrity of design, workmanship and materials. As a result, the property as a whole does not represent the work of a master or possess high artistic values. Individually, the main building retains sufficient integrity to be recognizable to its original appearance and convey its historical significance. Built in 1929, it exemplifies the architectural style that was embraced by the city following the 1925 earthquake and which established the city’s unique identity. The main building is significant within a local context as an early example of this type and period of construction in Montecito. Its character-defining features reflect the Spanish and Monterey Revival styles and include smooth stucco cladding, hipped and shed roofs clad with barrel tile, wooden balcony with carved brackets and carved rafter tails, a three-bay façade with engaged pilasters, and wood-sash multi-paned windows and wooden doors. Therefore, the main building is also recommended eligible under Criteria C/3. Alterations to the building have been minor and include: creation of a new door opening and new window openings on the east side of the building; creation of a deck on a flat-roofed area; construction of an exterior staircase; undefined work on the square arches and windows on the façade, and structural modifications to the north-west corner.

The property does not represent a significant and distinguishable entity whose components lack individual distinction. Much of the commercial development along Coast Village Road west of the subject property was developed between the 1950s and 2000s, decades after the contributing building (the original, main building) on the subject property was constructed. The immediately surrounding properties on Coast Village Road include a property currently under construction with a new development and several altered commercial buildings, many of which have been previously evaluated and recommended ineligible for the NRHP. These include 1101, 1277-1279 and 1269-1275 Coast Village Road, which were evaluated in 1992 by Gloria Scott for Caltrans as part of the Carpinteria-Santa Barbara Median Widening and Interchange Project. During this study, Scott identified three potential NRHP-eligible districts which SHPO concurred with; however, no potential districts were identified along Coast Village Road. In 2009, as part of the South Coast 101 High Occupancy Vehicle Project, JRP Historical Consulting completed an HRER which reassessed the inventory and evaluations in the 1992 study. This effort included a re-evaluation of the Montecito Inn at 1295 Coast Village Road. JRP Historical Consulting did not identify any potential historic district in the vicinity. Consultation with the City of Santa Barbara’s urban historian indicates that no potential district is believed to exist on Coast Village Road. Finally, there is no information to indicate that the property has the potential to yield information important to prehistory or history (Criteria D/4).

For the same reasons discussed above, the original, main building on the property also appears to meet the eligibility criteria for designation as a City of Santa Barbara Landmark or Structure of Merit under the following criteria: Criterion A as it has character, interest or value as a significant part of the heritage of the city; Criterion D as it exemplifies a particular architectural style; and Criterion F as it is the creation, design or work of a person or persons whose effort has significantly influenced the heritage of the City (the main building was designed by Henry Howell who is on the city’s list of local master architects/designers, and was constructed by Elmer Whittaker, a well-known and prolific local builder).

*P3a. Description: (Describe resource and its major elements. Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, setting, and boundaries) The subject property is a 0.14-acre parcel containing a 933 sq. ft. single-family residence and a detached garage. The property was recently damaged in a natural disaster (a debris flow). The one-story residence has a rectangular footprint and a front-facing gabled roof which is covered with composite shingles. Although the gable faces Olive Mill Road (east), the primary entrance is on the north elevation. A portion of the east elevation is clad with vertical wood siding, while another portion and the gable face are clad with smooth stucco. Spray paint markings made by search and rescue crews are present on the east elevation. A shed roof covered with composite shingles and supported by square wooden posts wraps around the east and north elevations. It is possible that there was a porch railing between the posts and that it was destroyed in the debris flow; a small section of a wooden railing is visible attached to the post near the center of the façade. Windows appear to be non-original vinyl and include tripartite and double-hung windows with large single panes. Those visible on the east and north elevations are flanked by wooden shutters. The entry doors are non-original and feature a large vertical glass pane at center. The garage at the rear (western end) of the property is not visible from the public ROW and is accessed via a driveway located north of the residence running adjacent to the northern property line. A wooden fence is located at the southern property line, and a palm tree remains in what would be the front yard. However the wooden fence that was located at the eastern edge of the property, the gate at the driveway, and the various smaller palms and shrubs in front of the residence were destroyed in the debris flow.

The property at the northwest corner of the intersection of Olive Mill Road and Coast Highway was undeveloped through the first two decades of the 20th century. By the late 1920s the intersection began being developed with commercial properties such as a hotel, a pharmacy, and service stations (Sanborn Map Company, various; U.C. Santa Barbara Map and Imagery Library 1929). A 1931 aerial photograph shows that a small building was located in the vicinity of the subject property; this later becomes the neighboring property adjacent to the south when the subject property is developed in 1953 (Beresford 2018).

The Channel View Heights tract was plotted northwest of the intersection and was recorded in 1927. It appears that lot 27 was subdivided and thus the subject property is known as lot 27B (County of Santa Barbara Public Works, n.d.; O’Neill, 1927). As the population grew in the post-war years, additional housing was needed, and this property was developed with a modest 933 sq. ft. residence and detached garage built in 1953. Neither the architect nor the contractor were ascertained. The earliest known owner of the property in 1954 was Howard F. Clark who owned it through at least 1966. Clark had previously lived at a home at 1188 Coast Highway, east of Olive Mill Road, and operated a taxi service (Sanborn Map Company 1918; California Voter Registrations 1942-1944). Once Clark relocated to the subject property he operated the Miramar Auto and Taxi Service from the location for a few years during the mid-1950s. Howard died in 1964 and his wife Verna remained at the home from 1968 through at least 1978; she died in 1980 (City Directories, various; Find a Grave 2018). In 1982 the property owners were listed as Joe and Carmen Escareno, but by 1985 Leone Murphy, who also owned a commercial property around the corner on Coast Village Road, acquired the property and proposed to redevelop it for use as a parking lot for that business. This was not carried out due to protests from the neighbors who did not want commercial use extended into a residential area (City Directories, various; County of Santa Barbara, various). The property was sold in 2012 to Dana E. Newquist and Andrea M. Eltinge who are the current owners (First American Title Company 2018). No consequential information was found on any of the owners.

On January 9, 2018 the property, along with many others in Montecito, was damaged by a natural disaster - debris flows that occurred from heavy rainfall following the Thomas Fire. See continuation sheet, p. 4.

From what is visible from the public ROW, the landscaping in front of the home, as well as a white wooden fence that was located along the eastern edge of the parcel and adjacent to the driveway, were destroyed. The County of Santa Barbara Finalized Damage Inspections map shows this property as having suffered “minor” damage (County of Santa Barbara Fire Department 2018).

Based on visual observation and realtor descriptions and photos, the home has been remodeled and the garage has been converted into habitable space (Harbor View Real Estate & Investments 2014). The original windows have been replaced with vinyl double- hung and tripartite windows. The entry doors are non-original and feature a large vertical glass pane at center. In addition, the home’s exterior cladding may have been altered as portions of the north and east elevations feature vertical wood siding but other portions feature painted stucco. The garage building, also referred to as an artist studio (Harbor View Real Estate & Investments 2014), was not visible from the public ROW. A wooden fence and landscaping in front of the home were destroyed in the aforementioned debris flow.

The subject property was developed with a modest California bungalow type residence in 1953 on a parcel that was subdivided within the Channel View Heights tract, which was recorded many years earlier in 1927. As described above, the residence has undergone alterations since then, including replacement of windows, doors, and exterior cladding. The property is not eligible for listing in the National or California registers, nor is it a contributor to a National or California Register-eligible historic district. It is not associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of our history (Criteria A/1). It is not associated with the lives of persons significant in our past (Criteria B/2). The building is an altered example of a simple California bungalow; due to these alterations it does not embody the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction, nor does it represent the work of a master or possess high artistic values. In addition, it does not represent a significant and distinguishable entity whose components may lack individual distinction (Criteria C/3). There is no information to indicate that the property has the potential to yield important information in prehistory or history (Criteria D/4). For these same reasons, the property does not appear eligible for designation as a County of Santa Barbara Landmark or Place of Historic Merit (Criteria A-I).

*P3a. Description: (Describe resource and its major elements. Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, setting, and boundaries) The subject property is a 0.25 acre, nearly rectangular parcel containing two single-story duplexes. Each of the duplexes has a rectangular plan, a gabled roof on the eastern elevation, and a hipped roof on the western elevation. The roof features overhanging eaves and is clad with composite shingles. The gable faces feature horizontal wood siding and the remainder of the buildings is clad with stucco. The buildings are sited parallel to each other and a paved walkway runs between them. The primary façade of each of the buildings face inward toward the central walkway. Each façade features two single entry doors and various windows, including tripartite and what appear to be casement windows. Additional windows are located on the eastern, street- facing elevations, and appear to be vinyl sliders flanked by wooden shutters. A carport is located perpendicular to the duplexes at the west end of the parcel. At the northern end of the parcel, a board and batten fence creates courtyard spaces and separates the property from a small street to the north. The property has been recently damaged in a natural disaster – a debris flow that occurred due to heavy rain following the Thomas Fire. At the time of the field survey, the exterior walls of the duplexes showed a mud line approximately three feet high, and spray paint marking from the search and rescue teams. In addition, the landscaping in front of the home has been completely destroyed.

The property at the northwest corner of the intersection of Olive Mill Road and Coast Highway was undeveloped through the first two decades of the 20th century. By the late 1920s the intersection began being developed with commercial properties such as a hotel, a pharmacy, and service stations (Sanborn Map Company, various; U.C. Santa Barbara Map and Imagery Library 1929).

The Channel View Heights tract was plotted northwest of the intersection and was recorded in 1927. It appears that lot 27 was subdivided and thus the subject property was developed on lots 26, 27B, and apparently also a small portion of lot 30 (County of Santa Barbara Public Works, n.d.; O’Neill, 1927; County of Santa Barbara Planning and Development, various). Brothers Louis C. and Lester H. Leppe obtained a building permit in May of 1957 for two duplexes and a carport valued at $17,700 (County of Santa Barbara Planning and Development, various; United States Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census 1930). The development appears to have been an investment property for the Leppe brothers. At the time, Lester was employed as a salesman and Louis was employed at the El Camino Pharmacy on Coast Village Road, and both lived in Santa Barbara. After their completion, the duplexes were occupied in 1958 by four different tenants, all male (City Directories 1957, 1958, 1961). Developed in the post-war years, and shortly after Highway 101 was upgraded to a full freeway through Montecito, the multi-family residence provided modest, affordable housing for a growing population, located near the neighborhood’s commercial area and main traffic artery.

Although County records show the property as 119 Olive Mill Road, with four units among the two duplexes, addresses used over the years have included 119-A, 119-B, 121-A and 121-B Olive Mill Road (County of Santa Barbara, various). Numerous tenants have occupied the units over the years, and no consequential information was found on any of the tenants. The current owners, Juergen and Pamela Gail Boehr, were deeded the property in 1989 (First American Title Company 2018). Juergen had been residing at the property since the early 1970s (City Directories, various). However, it appears that later Boehr lived next door at 115 Olive Mill Road while renting out the duplex units. The buildings were re-roofed in 1998, and in 2005 a storage room on the property was converted into a laundry room (County of Santa Barbara, various).

On January 9, 2018 the property, along with many others in Montecito, was damaged by a natural disaster - debris flows that occurred from heavy rainfall following the Thomas Fire. At the time of the field survey, the exterior walls of the duplexes showed a mud line approximately three feet high, and spray paint markings from the search and rescue teams. In addition, the landscaping in front of the home was completely destroyed. The County of Santa Barbara Finalized Damage Inspections map shows this property as having suffered “minor” damage (County of Santa Barbara Fire Department 2018).

The subject property was developed in 1957 on adjacent parcels within the Channel View Heights tract, which was recorded many years earlier in 1927. As a modest investment rental property, it is not eligible for listing in the National or California registers, nor is it a contributor to a National or California Register-eligible historic district. It is not associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of our history (Criteria A/1). It is not associated with the lives of persons significant in our past (Criteria B/2). While the buildings retain sufficient integrity to be recognizable to their original appearance, they are a modest example of Minimal Traditional-style duplexes. They do not embody the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction nor do they represent the work of a master or possess high artistic values. In addition, the property does not represent a significant and distinguishable entity whose components may lack individual distinction (Criteria C/3). There is no information to indicate that the property has the potential to yield important information in prehistory or history (Criteria D/4). For these same reasons, the subject property does not appear eligible for designation as a County of Santa Barbara Landmark or Place of Historic Merit (Criteria A-I).

*P3a. Description: (Describe resource and its major elements. Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, setting, and boundaries) The subject property is a 0.36 acre, trapezoidal lot containing a one-story single family residence which sits at a higher elevation than the street. The home has an irregular floorplan and is covered by various gabled roofs with slightly overhanging, closed eaves. The roof appears to be clad with composite shingles. An attached garage is located at the southern end of the residence and has a tilt-up door. The primary entrance appears to be accessed via a small set of steps on the western façade; however, it is shielded by a garden wall and therefore is not visible. It appears that the wall creates a courtyard in front of the home. The roofline in this area features a square cut-out which creates an area open to the sky. A few rafter tails are exposed in the cut-out area; these once were longer and spanned across the entire open area, but were cut short sometime between 2007 and 2017 (Google street view 2007 and 2017). A portion of the overhanging roof at the northwest end of the home also displays a few extremely long exposed rafters that span out towards the wall in front of the home. The home also features a slope chimney that is painted white. A curved driveway leads from the street to the attached garage. The property has been recently damaged in a natural disaster, a debris flow (mudslide) that occurred on January 9, 2018. At the time of the survey, the property was covered with dried mud, boulders, branches, and other debris. Much of hedges and landscaping between the home and the street has been destroyed, as well as a wooden gate that was once located on the south side of the garage. No other features of the residence were visible from the public right-of-way.

In 1918 the subject property was a portion of a much larger parcel spanning from Coast Highway to the south to the intersection of Mesa Road with Olive Mill Road to the north. The large property was undeveloped except for a small cabin in the center. By 1934 the land was owned by Mary M. Neal and contained a few small dwellings near the center of the parcel (Sanborn Map Company, various; County of Santa Barbara, various). As the population grew during the post-war years, additional housing was needed, and the El Montecito Oaks Tract was recorded in 1953, subdividing the land into smaller parcels (County of Santa Barbara, Montecito Planning Commission 2011). The subject property was first occupied in early 1953 by a 200 sq. ft. building that was temporarily moved onto the property for use as a contractor’s office by the Montecito Oaks Development Corporation likely while the surrounding residential lots were being developed. It appears that a lot split later created this parcel and the adjacent parcel to the south (presently 110 Olive Mill Road). The subject property was described as Parcel 1, Lot 1, Block B. In late 1956 the Anglo American Construction Co. developed the lot with a single family residence valued at $14,800. The site plan on record shows a residence with an irregular plan situated on the western half of the lot. As drawn, the building floorplan does not match what is currently on the property; it is possible that the developer reversed the plan so that the layout of the rooms essentially was flipped, which would generally match the floorplan of the home as it exists today (County of Santa Barbara, various).

The earliest known owner of the home was James H. White who appears to have owned the property from 1958 to 1961. By 1962 the property had changed hands to Maxwell B. Sanders who resided there through 1965. Between 1966 and 1968 Marvin E. Grant was either the owner or tenant. He and his wife operated Grant’s Catering Service out of 1279 Coast Village Road (County of Santa Barbara various). Between 1970 and 1974 the property owner was listed as Mayme W. Lambourne (Santa Barbara City Directories, various). A subsequent owner was listed as Marshall McDaniel. The current owner is listed as William J. Horstman and the Virgie Family Living Trust, who appear to have acquired the property in 1989 (First American Title Company 2018). No consequential information was found on any of the residents.

On January 9, 2018 the property, along with many others in Montecito, was damaged by a natural disaster - debris flows that occurred from heavy rainfall following the Thomas Fire. See continuation sheet, p. 4.

*P3a. Description: (Describe resource and its major elements. Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, setting, and boundaries) The subject property is a 0.36-acre, roughly rectangular parcel located at the northeast corner of the intersection of Olive Mill Road and North Jameson Lane. It contains a one-story single family residence with an irregular, roughly T-shaped floorplan. The residence is not clearly visible from the public right-of-way due to its large setback and mature trees along the perimeter of the lot, which shield the home from the two streets bordering its western and southern edges. The home is covered by a cross-gabled roof clad with composite shingles. The home sits at a higher elevation than the street, and a curved driveway leads from the street to the attached garage. The property has been recently damaged in a natural disaster, a debris flow (mudslide) that occurred on January 9, 2018. At the time of the survey, the property was covered with dried mud, branches, and other debris. The garage door has been removed and the opening closed with plyboard.

The subject property was described as Parcel 2, Lot 1, Block B within the tract. It was first occupied in early 1953 by a 200 sq. ft. building that was temporarily moved onto the property for use as a contractor’s office by the Montecito Oaks Development Corporation likely while the surrounding residential lots were being developed. It appears that a lot split later created this parcel and the adjacent parcel to the north (presently 112 Olive Mill Road). In late 1956 a permit was obtained by the Anglo American Construction Co. to develop a single family residence on the lot, after attempts at getting the lot re-zoned to commercial and multi-family residential use failed. Completed in 1957 and valued at $16,300, the home was situated on the western half of the lot and generally L-shaped in plan. Neither the architect nor the contractor were ascertained (County of Santa Barbara, various).

The earliest known owner of the home was Mrs. Harriet Montgomery in 1960. It appears that she rented the house because the residents changed frequently through the mid-1970s (Santa Barbara City Directories, various). Leslie M. James owned the property from at least 1986 to 1990. James obtained a permit in 1986 to construct an addition to the residence, which was composed of a master bedroom, a bathroom, and a deck added onto the rear, northeastern corner of the residence (County of Santa Barbara, various). Roger Rittner and Doris Christy acquired the property in 1994 (First American Title Co. 2018). No consequential information was found on any of the residents.

On January 9, 2018 the property, along with many others in Montecito, was damaged by a natural disaster - debris flows that occurred from heavy rainfall following the Thomas Fire. See continuation sheet, p. 4.

*P3a. Description: (Describe resource and its major elements. Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, setting, and boundaries)

The object is a pole sign composed of an iron pole supporting a rectangular box sign, with iron scrollwork framing the sign above and below. Both the pole and the decorative ironwork are painted white. The sign is painted black and features channel letters and an arrow pointing southward. The arrow points towards the location of the Four Seasons Biltmore Hotel which is located at the southern end of Olive Mill Road where the street curves west and turns into Channel Drive (approximately 0.3 miles away). Centered on the sign face, the channel letters read “Biltmore” and feature white neon tubing, as does the arrow. Across the top third of the sign face a panel was added reading “Four Seasons” above the word “Biltmore”, reflecting a change in the hotel’s ownership in 1987. This alteration was not done in neon like the original design, but in printed block letters. It is believed that the sign has been further altered by someone cutting openings into the metal returns that surround the neon. These holes, or openings, appear to have been cut to allow for the neon tubing to be connected more easily from letter to letter across the sign. The sign is located on a median between the Highway 101 off-ramp and North Jameson Lane. It is surrounded by numerous regulatory and traffic control signs also within the Caltrans ROW.

Construction History: (Construction date, alterations, and date of alterations) No construction, alteration, or encroachment permits were located by Santa Barbara County staff or by Caltrans staff. Sign is estimated to have been erected in the mid-1950s (Boucher 2018). The sign was altered at an unknown date with a rectangular panel being added to the sign face reading “Four Seasons” above the word “Biltmore”, reflecting a change in the hotel’s ownership in 1987. No information was discovered regarding the sign’s builder. Openings cut into the metal returns that surround the neon may also be an alteration.

Also address integrity.) The Biltmore Hotel opened in 1927 a few blocks south of the state highway (known the Coast Highway or Route 101) where Olive Mill Road curves west and turns into Channel Drive (Santa Barbara Biltmore Associates 1990). Unlike the Montecito Inn, which occupied a prominent corner location on the Coast Highway near other commercial businesses, the Biltmore property was located within a residential neighborhood fronting the Pacific Ocean. Over the years, signage has been employed to assist visitors in locating the hotel property.

In reviewing historic photographs of the intersection of Olive Mill Road and today’s Coast Village Road, neither the sign nor the median it is situated on are present in 1931. At the time, the intersection appeared quite different than it does today. Coast Village Road was not called such; it was considered part of the state highway. In 1931 the roadway featured one lane running in each direction, divided by a center lane (or median) delineated by striping. As part of an effort to beautify the eastern entry into the city of Santa Barbara and improve traffic conditions on the highway and local streets, the Santa Barbara County Planning Commission, in conjunction with the State Division of Highways and planner L. Deming Tilton, developed a new design for a triple roadway: a highway with frontage roads. This 180 foot wide highway would replace the previously existing 60 foot wide highway. The triple roadway design included a four-lane state highway with a median strip at center, and two-lane frontage roads on either side (north and south) of the highway. Referred to as the Montecito Parkway, construction began in 1937 on the section between Olive Mill Road and Miramar Avenue to the east (Scott 1991).

Historic photographs show that in 1938, after the completion of the new triple roadway in this area, a smaller and simpler sign advertising the Biltmore was located slightly southeast of the intersection of Olive Mill Road and the Coast Highway, at the edge of the landscaped median separating the eastbound highway lanes from the southern frontage road (Scott 1991). This earlier sign was mounted on a cylindrical white pole and appears to have been one- sided. The word “Biltmore” was featured in capital letters occupying the upper half of the rectangular sign face, and a small arrow beneath it pointed towards the south. See continuation sheet, p. 4.

*Recorded by: S. Zamudio-Gurrola and S. Carmack *Date: March 17, 2018  Continuation  Update B10. Significance, continued: The differences between the earlier sign and the current sign include 1) the height: the earlier sign was lower/shorter; 2) the pole: the earlier sign’s pole did not project past the top of the sign like the current sign’s does; 3) ornamentation: the earlier sign did not have scrolled ironwork or a finial-like cap; and 4) the arrow: the earlier sign’s arrow was shorter and did not span the entire width of the sign as on the current sign. In addition, the earlier sign appears to have been one-sided based on how it was mounted.

Following an interruption during the war years, the triple roadway design was finally completed to Sheffield Drive in 1948. However, during the early 1950s, plans were conceived to convert the highway into a full, four-lane, controlled access freeway (County of Santa Barbara Board of Supervisors 1951 and 1954). Plans for the freeway were finalized in 1954 and construction took place in the Montecito area through at least 1956 (Scott 1991; University of California, Santa Barbara Map and Imagery Library 1956). In reviewing historic aerial photographs, it is apparent that an extensive amount of land was cleared for the large-scale freeway construction and it is not likely that the Biltmore sign would have been installed until construction was complete or near complete, because the Olive Mill Road and Coast Village Road intersection was heavily impacted by the depression of and re- routing of the highway to the south, the construction of the Olive Mill Road on- and off-ramps, the construction of a bridge carrying Olive Mill Road over the new freeway, the creation of a landscaped median in the center of (modern day) Coast Village Road, and the alteration of the landscaped median between North Jameson Lane and the freeway off-ramp.

Mr. Hal Boucher, a photographer that has been employed since 1950 by the Biltmore Hotel (and the Four Seasons Biltmore, as it later became known), reports that the sign had not yet been erected when he began working for the hotel. He believes the sign was erected in the early 1950s (Boucher 2018). However, due to the site work at the intersection of Olive Mill and Coast Village roads for the freeway construction, a more reasonable estimate of a construction date would be from 1956 onwards.

During the course of research, many individuals were consulted for information, including local historians, authors, columnists, local residents, staff at Caltrans and at the County and City of Santa Barbara. No construction, alteration, or encroachment permits were located. No additional information was discovered besides Mr. Boucher’s estimate of construction date. However, the sign was visibly altered at an unknown date by the application of a panel across the top third of the rectangular face which reads “Four Seasons” above the channel letters reading “Biltmore”. This was not done in neon as the original letters below, but in printed text. The alteration is estimated to have taken place at some time after the hotel’s acquisition by the Four Seasons hotel group in 1987.

In consulting with Debra Jane Seltzer, neon sign expert and author of Vintage Signs of America, it is believed that the sign has been further altered by someone cutting openings into the metal returns that surround the neon. These holes, or openings, appear to have been cut to allow for the neon tubing to be connected more easily from letter to letter across the sign. However, this is atypical; these connections would normally not be visible and would be contained within the box sign. Another possibility is that the sign was originally constructed in this manner, which would make it a poor quality example of a channel letter neon sign.

The sign is a modest example of a channel letter neon sign. It does not exemplify the design or handiwork of neon signs from the era of its construction. Additionally, its integrity of design, materials and workmanship has been diminished by the alterations described above. The numerous regulatory and traffic control signs surrounding it on the Caltrans ROW have also diminished its integrity of setting. It is recommended ineligible for the NRHP, the CRHR and for local designation as an individual resource. The sign was also considered as a potential contributing element to the Biltmore/Four Seasons Hotel property which is located about 0.30 miles to the southwest at Olive Mill Road and Channel Drive. Evaluated by Alexandra Cole of Preservation Planning Associates in 2001, the hotel property was recommended eligible for local designation and for listing on the CRHR. However, the property was not evaluated for the NRHP. As a result, the sign is not considered eligible for the NRHP as a potential contributor to the hotel property. The sign was erected in the mid-1950s, many years after the hotel’s original opening (1927) and after the hotel’s period of significance. The sign is not directly associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of our history (Criteria A/1). It is not associated with the lives of persons significant in our past (Criteria B/2). As discussed above, it does not embody the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction, nor does it represent the work of a master, possess high artistic values, or represent a significant and distinguishable entity whose components lack individual distinction (Criteria C/3). There is no information to indicate that the sign has yielded or may be likely to yield information important in prehistory or history (Criterion D). For the same reasons described above, the sign does not appear to be eligible for designation as a County of Santa Barbara Historic Landmark or Place of Historic Merit. However, it is recommended that a Status Code of 6L be assigned, meaning the sign has been “Determined ineligible for local listing or designation through local government review process; may warrant special consideration in local planning.” While the sign may not be eligible for listing in the NRHP, CRHR, or as a County of Santa Barbara Landmark or Place of Historic Merit (therefore not qualifying as a historic property under the NHPA or a historical resource under CEQA), the sign warrants special consideration by the agencies which will determine options for its management.

*Recorded by: S. Zamudio-Gurrola and S. Carmack *Date: April 9, 2018  Continuation  Update The former Montecito Parkway consists of approximately 1.6 miles of U.S. Route 101 spanning from Olive Mill Road to Sheffield Drive through Montecito, as well as North Jameson Lane adjacent to the north, and South Jameson Lane adjacent to the south. Originally developed between 1937 and 1948 as a joint project between the County of Santa Barbara Planning Commission and the State Division of Highways, what became known as the Montecito Parkway was intended to provide an attractive entry into the City of Santa Barbara, encourage traveling motorists to stop in the community, and improve local traffic conditions for those entering or crossing the highway. The design was a triple roadway which included the four-lane state highway (two lanes traveling in each direction separated by a median strip) and two parallel frontage roads (one on the north side and one on the south side of the highway), with access to the highway at fixed intervals. However, this design did not exist for very long; just six years later, in 1955, the Montecito Parkway’s configuration and appearance was significantly altered when the state built the four- lane divided freeway. These alterations included depressing the roadway, removing intersections at Olive Mill and San Ysidro roads, constructing bridges over the freeway, re-routing its western terminus further to the south, and constructing on- and off- ramps, and re-aligning the frontage roads (Scott 1992; JRP 2010).

The subject property was previously evaluated in 1991 and found ineligible for listing in the NRHP, a finding that received concurrence from the California State Historic Preservation Officer in 1993 (Scott 1991 and 1992; California State Office of Historic Preservation 1993). The subject property was given a California Register Status Code of 6Y, “Determined ineligible for NR by consensus through Section 106 process – Not evaluated for CR or Local Listing” (California Office of Historic Preservation 2012).

The subject property was re-evaluated in 2009 as part of the South Coast 101 HOV Lanes Project, Santa Barbara County, California, and was given a California Register Status Code of 6Z, “Found ineligible for NR, CR or Local designation through survey evaluation.” (JRP Historical Consulting 2009). SHPO concurred with the finding in January 2011 (Donaldson 2011).

The current survey update of the subject property was conducted on February 7, 2018 as part of the Historical Resources Evaluation Report for the San Ysidro Road Intersection Project. There is no evidence to suggest that the property would now be eligible for federal, state, or local designation as it has been substantially altered as identified in 1991 and 2009 (Scott 1991 and 1992; JRP Historical Consulting 2009). In addition, the property does not appear to meet any of the County’s Historic Landmark Designation Criteria A through I.

*P3a. Description: (Describe resource and its major elements. Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, setting, and boundaries)

The object is a street sign composed of a wide wooden sign mounted on a short, wide concrete pedestal. Nearly rectangular in shape, the sign features hand-carved lettering on its eastern side that is painted white and reads “Coast Village Road”. Installed in the soil, the base of the pedestal is surrounded by bricks laid in a circular arrangement. Having been damaged by termites, a vehicle collision and a natural disaster (debris flow following heavy rains), the sign has had a significant amount of repair work. Damaged wood has been supplemented with foam and bondo, and the bolts connecting the sign to the pedestal were replaced with a larger type. The median was also altered at an unknown date due to the construction of a pedestrian crosswalk which truncated the median on its east end. Presently, the only deliberate landscaping within the median is a group of palm trees near the center of the median. The remainder of the ground surface is disturbed soil and weeds. A street lamp was previously located behind (west of) the sign. The original lamp installed in 1969 was replaced with a different style at an unknown date, and at the time of the present survey, the street lamp had been removed.

The commercial strip that today is known as Coast Village Road has its origins as a portion of the Old Coast Highway (aka Pacific Coast Highway or Route 1). The strip of road originally was located in an unincorporated part of the county and served as both a local connector road between Hot Springs and Olive Mill roads, and as an entry to the city of Santa Barbara (Hazard 2017). By the late 1920s early commercial ventures were developed near the intersection with Olive Mill Road (Beresford 2018). As described by one source, in its early years, this road was a “hap-hazard highway stop” with eateries, gas stations, and motor courts and motels (Hazard 2017). In 1931 the roadway featured one lane running in each direction, divided by a center lane (or median) delineated by striping. As part of an effort to beautify the eastern entry into the city of Santa Barbara and improve traffic conditions on the highway and local streets, the Santa Barbara County Planning Commission, in conjunction with the State Division of Highways and planner L. Deming Tilton, developed a new design for a triple roadway: a highway with frontage roads. This 180 foot wide highway would replace the previously existing 60 foot wide highway. East of Olive Mill Road, the triple roadway design included a four-lane state highway with a median strip at center, and two-lane frontage roads on either side (north and south) of the highway. Referred to as the Montecito Parkway, construction began in 1937 on the section between Olive Mill Road and Miramar Avenue (Scott 1992). West of Olive Mill Road, the four-lane roadway lacked the landscaped median (UCSB Map and Imagery Lab 1947). Through the late 1940s the area west of Olive Mill Road was still sparsely developed on the north side of the road. Vacant lots were interspersed amid low-scale development, and the land was dotted with clusters of large trees.

Sherrill Broudy, a designer and architect who had moved to Santa Barbara in 1956, was largely responsible for the transformation of the modern Coast Village Road strip into a unified shopping area. Broudy’s vision for the strip intended to change its character by applying a more defined architectural style, and replacing the mixture of motor courts and eateries with more upscale retail operations. In his effort to improve the area, Broudy appealed to other property owners on the strip to form the Coast Village Association, and he served as its president. Broudy began to work on a master plan of the area to guide its growth and development, and study how to relate the property to the larger communities of Santa Barbara and Montecito (Gilbar 2015).

Based on historic aerial photographs, it appears that a median was created within Coast Village Road, west of Olive Mill Road, by 1958 (UCSB Map and Imagery Lab 1959). In 1960 the city of Santa Barbara annexed the entire strip while offering to install a sewer system, which was greatly supported by the area business owners. That same year the thoroughfare’s name was changed from Old Coast Highway to Coast Village Road, after Broudy petitioned the city council to do so (Gilbar 2015). The Coast Village Road shopping center, at the corner of Hot Springs and Coast Village roads, was developed in the early to mid-1960s (Gilbar 2015; UCSB Map and Imagery Lab 1961, 1967). By the late 1960s the Coast Village Road strip was mostly developed and appeared much like it does today (UCSB Map and Imagery Lab 1967, 1969).

The subject sign was a component of improvements to Coast Village Road undertaken by the City of Santa Barbara. Engineering firm Penfield & Smith and landscape architect John Robert Russell developed the plans in 1968. The improvements, which were completed between 1968 and 1969, altered the road to appear more like a city street or boulevard, and brought continuity to the commercial strip. In order to make the road more pedestrian- and parking-friendly and improve its appearance, its alignment was modified, vehicular traffic was narrowed to two lanes, angled and parallel parking was created to serve the businesses that front the street, hardscaping was installed such as curbs, gutters, sidewalks, medians and islands. Street lights, benches and street signs were also installed (Willard 1968; Gilbar 2015; Ludwick 2019).

While the fabricator of the sign is not known, the engineering plans state that Mrs. Oscar Erikson of Santa Barbara was to complete the letter carving. The letter font was planned to be similar in style to that of the city’s parking lot signs (Penfield & Smith 1968). Based on archival research, it is believed that Mrs. Oscar Erikson was Olive Pauline Erickson (husband was Knut Oscar Erickson). She studied at the Knapp College of Nursing in Santa Barbara, worked at Sansum Clinic and the general hospital, and later taught at Santa Barbara City College (U.S. Department of Commerce 1940; R.L. Polk & Co. 1955, 1972; Santa Barbara Directory Co. 1944).

According to Paul Musgrove, a carpenter who maintained wooden street signs throughout Montecito for over 15 years, and Bob Ludwick, the president of the Coast Village Association, the sign has been damaged by termites, a vehicle collision, and a natural disaster (debris flow on January 9, 2018), which have all required repairs. Non-original materials have been utilized to stabilize the sign including foam and bondo, and the original bolts have been replaced by larger bolts to connect the sign more directly onto the pedestal. Ludwick estimates approximately 75% of the sign’s original material remains. An identical sign at the west end of Coast Village Road, near Hot Springs Road, is in better condition according to Ludwick.

The sign is an undistinguished example of a wooden street sign. It is not an exceptional example of woodworking or handicrafts, nor does it embody any technological advancements in sign-making. It is one of over 200 wooden street signs in the community of Montecito. While the Montecito Community Foundation maintains 212 of the hand-painted wooden street signs, the subject sign is technically under the jurisdiction of the City of Santa Barbara as it is located on a median in a city-owned street (Herrick 2018; Penfield & Smith 1968; Ludwick 2019; Musgrove 2019). However, communication with city Public Works and Parks department staff did not uncover any records on the sign’s design, installation or maintenance, indicating their limited involvement. The Coast Village Association has handled repairs and maintenance over recent years, and holds a copy of the 1968 engineering plans.

Due to the repair work/alterations described above, the sign’s integrity of materials and workmanship has been diminished. The alterations to the median (changes in the landscaping, street lamps, and the truncating of the median to accommodate a crosswalk) and redevelopment of the parcel immediately to the north have also diminished the sign’s integrity of setting. It does not appear eligible for listing in the NRHP or CRHR under any criteria. It is not directly associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of our history (Criteria A/1), nor is it associated with the lives of persons significant in our past (Criteria B/2). As discussed above, the sign is an undistinguished example of a wooden street sign; it does not embody the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction, nor does it represent the work of a master, possess high artistic values, or represent a significant and distinguishable entity whose components lack individual distinction (Criteria C/3). Lastly, there is no information to indicate that the sign has yielded or may be likely to yield information important in prehistory or history (Criterion D). For the same reasons described above, the sign does not appear to be eligible for designation as a City of Santa Barbara Landmark or Structure of Merit under any of the criteria A-K.
