PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The proposed project is a Historic Resources Assessment for the review of a Phase 1 Historical Resources Report for a 14, 112 square foot, two story office building and associated parking garage, built in 1965, on a 2.00 acre property located at 250 South Mills Road in the Limited Commercial (C-1) & Intermediate Commercial (C-1A) zone districts with a land use designation of Comme.rce. The project site is not located next to any recognized landmarks, or points of interests or within a historic district.

PROJ-11427 HPC/05/23/18/DN Page 1 of 4 HPC - 1 BACKGROUND On March 3, 2017, the Planning Division was notified of construction activity at the subjectsite; no construction or demolition permits were issued.

In accordance with the Policies and Procedures for Historic Resources Protection (PPHR), the proposed demolition requires historical assessment as the existing structure is over 40 years old. As the moject is over 40 years old, staff conducted a 5- day posting to the Historic Preservation Committee (HPC) on March 7, 2017 for a historic evaluation for the scope of work.

• March 7 through March 14, 2017 o Tenant improvement to lower/garage level of 2 story building. See elevations. Interior stair connecting upper/ ground floor level\ with lower level to be removed. Stair opening to be infilled. Upper and lower levels to be structurally reinforced. Future tenant improvement for upper level not included under this scope of work or permit. All exterior stairs are to remain. New exterior elevator to be provided. Lower level tenant improvement includes two existing suites within underground par.

The 5-day posting was pulled, with two or more HPC members requesting for the project to be scheduled for their review. The applicant is therefore requesting a Historical Resource Assessment by the Historic Preservation Committee (HPC) and has submitted the required Phase 1 Historical Resources Report. The property is not listed or identified in the 1983 Cultural Heritage Survey, the 2007 Historic Resources Survey Update, or the California State Historical Resources Inventory.

On April 17, 2017, a site visit with the applicant, staff, and the contracted historic consultant (Historic Resources Group) was conducted.

On May 9, 2017, a Building Permit was issued for a change of use from bank to medical offices on the first-floor (not visible from Mills Road due to the surrounding sunken garden with landscaped berm) of the existing building and included plumbing, electrical, and mechanical work with some exterior work. The existing interior stairs were to remain.

On October 4, 2017 a "Stop Work" order was issued by the Building and Safety Department for work that went beyond the identified Scope of Work.

• Cutting the concrete floor between 1st & 2nd floor for an elevator that is not on approved plans.

PROJ-11427 HPC/05/23/18/DN Page 2 of 4 HPC - 2 On April 25, 2018 the HPC reviewed the Phase I Historic Resources Report and made the following motions:

• Confirm by Minute Motion that the subject structure is historically significant on the National, State, and Local Levels based on the findings within the Phase I Historic Resources Report.

• Motion to continue the item to a-date certain of May 23, 2018 for a site visit to 250 South Mills Road to inspect existing conditions and to disc;:uss with the property owner the intended use of the building and how to approach exterior and interior modifications to the building. Encourage the property owner to submit for landmark status on the National, State, and Local levels and a Mills Act.

STAFF ANALYSIS

Per the April 25, 2018 HPC Motion, staff, the applicant, the HPC, and any members of the public will meet at the project site, 250 South Mills Road, to inspect existing · conditions and to discuss with the property owner the intended use of the building and how to approach exterior and interior modifications to the building. No additional analysis is being provided beyond what had previously been provided within the staff report presented to the HPC on April 24, 2018 (Attachment A).

PUBLIC COMMUNICATIONS staff received public communication concerning the proposed project (Attachment B).

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT

Staff has determined the proposed project is Categorically Exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under CEQA Guidelines Section 15306 (Class 6, Information Collection) because the Preliminary Historical Assessment consists of information gathering purposes, or as part of a study leading to an action which a public agency has not yet approved, adopted, or funded. No exceptions apply to defeat the exemption.

RECOMMENDATION

Staff recommends. that theHPC: . 1. Discuss the property owner's intended use of the building and how to approach exterior and interior modifications to the building; and 2. Encourage the property owner to submit a local Historic Landmark Designation application and consider filing an application to list the building on the National Register of Historic Places and California Register of Historic Places.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The proposed project is a Historic Resources Assessment for the review of a Phase 1 Historical Resources Report for a 14, 112 square foot, two story office building and associated parking garage, built in 1965, on a 2.00 acre property located at 250 South Mills Road in the Limited Commercial (C-1) & Intermediate Commercial (C-1A) zone districts with a land use designation of Commerce. The project site is not located next to any recognized landmarks, or points of interests or within a historic district.

The review of the Phase 1 Historical Resources Report that was prepared for the property is to determine the national, state and local historical significance of the subject PROJ-11427 HPC/04/25/18/DN Page 1 of 11 HPC - 6 building. If the project site is deemed to not be a historical resource, separate Planning and Building Permit applications would be submitted for exterior modifications. BACKGROUND

On March 3, 2017, the Planning Division was notified of construction activity at the subject site; no construction or demolition permits were issued.

In accordance with the Policies and Procedures for Historic Resources Protection (PPHR), the proposed demolition requires historical assessment as the existing structure is over 40 years old. As the project is over 40 years old, staff conducted a 5- day posting to the Historic Preservation Committee (HPC) on March 7, 2017 for a historic evaluation for the scope of work (Attachment 8).

• March 7 through March 14, 2017 o Tenant improvement to lower/garage level of 2 story building. See elevations. Interior stair connecting upper/ ground floor level with lower level to be removed. Stair opening to be infilled. Upper and lower levels to be structurally reinforced. Future tenant improvement for upper level not included under this scope of work or permit. All exterior stairs are to remain. New exterior elevator to be provided. Lower level tenant improvement includes two existing suites within underground par.

The 5-day posting was pulled, with two or more HPC members requesting for the project to be scheduled for their review. The applicant is therefore requesting a Historical Resource Assessment by the Historic Preservation Committee (HPC) and has submitted the required Phase 1 Historical Resources Report (Attachment C). The property is not listed or identified in the 1983 Cultural Heritage Survey, the 2007 Historic Resources Survey Update, or the California State Historical Resources Inventory.

On April 17, 2017, a site visit with the applicant, staff, and the contracted historic consultant (Historic Resources Group) was conducted.

On May 9, 2017, a Building Permit was issued for a change of use from bank to medical offices on the first-floor (not visible from Mills Road due to the surrounding sunken garden with landscaped berm) of the existing building and included plumbing, electrical, and mechanical work with some exterior work. The existing interior stairs were to remain.

On October 4, 2017 a "Stop Work" order was issued by the Building and Safety Department for work that went beyond the identified Scope of Work.

• Cutting the concrete floor between 1st & 2nd floor for an elevator that is not on approved plans.

PROJ-11427 HPC/04/25/18/DN Page 2 of 11 HPC - 7 HISTORICAL STANDARDS

Pursuant to Ventura Municipal Code Section 2R.450.220 a Historical Resource Assessment shall be prepared for a demolition permit of a building or structure more than 40 years old and then, pursuant to Ventura Municipal Code Section 2.4.30.130, review by the HPC for a recommendation to the Community Development Director (Director). One purpose of a preliminary assessment is to enable the HPC to screen properties or projects of no obvious historic value. This is in accordance with:

General Plan Action 9.19: For any project in a historic district or that would affect any potential historic resource or structure more than 40 years old, require an assessment of eligibility for State and federal register and landmark status and appropriate mitigation to protect the resource, and

General Plan Action 9.20: Seek input from the City's Historic Preservation Commission on any proposed development that may affect any designated or potential landmark.

Municipal Code Section 24.455.120.2 defines a landmark as any real property such as building, structure, or archaeological excavation, or object that is unique or significant because of its location, design, setting, materials, workmanship or aesthetic feeling, and is associated with:

(a) Events that have made a meaningful contribution to the nation, state or community; (b) Lives of persons who made a meaningful contribution to national, state or local history; (c) Reflecting or exemplifying a particular period of the national, state or local history; (d) Embodying the distinctive characteristics of a type, period or method of construction; (e) The work of one or more master builders, designers, artists or architects whose talents influenced their historical period, or work that otherwise possesses high artistic value; (f) Representing a significant and distinguishable entity whose components may lack individual distinction; or (g) Yielding, or likely to yield, information important to national, state or local history or prehistory.

Another purpose of a historical assessment is to review and evaluate any s~bject or area of possible historic, cultural, or natural significance to determine whether such subject or area may warrant further action. Consequently, if the HPC concludes that the application contains sufficient information to make a determination that the existing building is not historically significant or a potential landmark; no further analysis will be required. If the HPC concludes that the scope of work could negatively impact a property that the HPC considers potentially historically significant, then any future PROJ-11427 HPC/04/25/18/DN Page 3 of 11 HPC - 8 project at the subject property that may cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of that historical resource may be potentially considered to have a significant effect on the environment. The HPC may make a recommendation to the Director for a Phase 2 Historic Resources Report, which would be required to determine historical significance.

DESIGN REVIEW STANDARDS

As the property is not a designated Landmark, there are no applicable design review standards required at this time.

STAFF ANALYSIS

Per the Policies and Procedures for Historic Resources Protection (PPHRP), for a resource to be designated as historically significant, an historical resource evaluation of the property must define the property's historical context, meet at least one of the City's Historical Resource Designation Criteria and then demonstrate that the property retains integrity.

Additionally, the PPHRP exempts "Like for Like" replacements from further Historic Resource Assessment review; staff conveyed this process to the applicants in order to address any potential hazard, but the applicant decided to proceed with the Phase I Historic Resources Report.

Landmark Analysis

According to the information included within the Phase 1 Historical Resources Report, dated May 9, 2017, which includes photos, found that the building meets the criteria for listing in the National Register of Historic Places, the California Register of Historical Resources, and as a City of Ventura Local City Landmark:

The rise of the savings and loan coincided with the large population influx into during the pre- and post­ World War 11 periods, and enabled middle class Americans to purchase homes. Ventura Savings and Loan was established during the "golden era" in saving and loan history in Southern California."

This is the second location of Ventura Savings and Loan, which had outgrown its original location within ten years. For its new headquarters, bank officials committed significant resources to the design of the new building and commissioned a master architect to undertake the design, signaling the institution's success and prominence in the community. The new location was ideal for serving the ongoing eastward expansion of the city, reflecting the significant o ulation rowth after the war.

Staff concurs with the Phase 1 prepared by Historic Resources Group that the subject structure meets the eligibility Criteria's A and C for listing on the National register of Historic Places and the California Register of Historic Places, and Criteria's A, C, D, and E for listing as a Local City Landmark.

Integrity Analysis

Per the California Office of Historic Preservation, the integrity of a given property cannot be evaluated until its significance has been determined. As the Phase 1 prepared by Historic Resources Group has determined that the subject structure is potentially historically significant, an analysis of the structures integrity is necessary. Staff has conducted an integrity analysis of the structure.

According to the information provided by the applicant, and review by City staff, staff determined the Phase 1 Historical Resources Report dated May 9, 2017, provides enough information to conclude the following:

• Location, Setting, Association:

City records indicate that subject structure was constructed in 1965 and remains in its original location and the site retains the original configuration with surrounding terraces and parking. The property also remains in its original setting along the commercial corridor of South Mills Road.

The Building therefore retains integrity of location, setting, and association.

• Work of a Master Builder, Designer, Artist or Architect:

The building is the work of two nationally recognized architects, William L. Pereira and Gin D. Wong, whose collective talents influenced modern PROJ-11427 HPC/04/25/18/DN Page 8 of 11 HPC - 13 architecture from the 1950s to the 1970s. The building possess high artistic value as recognized by the American Institute of Architects and it was designed during the period of most critical acclaim for the work of the firm William L. Pereira and Associates and coincides with Pereira's appearance on the cover of Time magazine.

William L. Pereira

Mr. Pereira was a fixture of corporate modern architecture in postwar Southern California. Alongside other important firms such as Welton Becket and Associates and Albert C. Martin & Associates, his practice served a steady stream of clients in Southern California - the home for automobile production, movie studios, television studios, and an emerging corporate culture in finance, insurance and the services sector. In the 1950's he cofounded the architecture firm Pereira and Luckman, which firm's most significant projects included CBS Television City (1953), Disneyland Hotel (1958), IBM Corporation Headquarters (1958) and Signal Oil and Gas Headquarters (1958), and designed the master plans for the California Institute of Technology (1953), University of California, Santa Barbara (1958) and International Airport (1958).

In 1959 he founded William L. Pereira & Associates, which earned a reputation for large scale commissions and planning. During the 1960's and 1970's the firm's most significant projects included developing master plans for the University of Southern California (1960), the City of Newport (1960), the master plan for Irvine Ranch (1960) including the campus of the University of California, Irvine, University of California, Central Library (1970), 's Transamerica Building (1969-72).

Gin D. Wong

Permit records, press clippings, and other documentation indicate that the chief designer on the project from Pereira's office was Gin D. Wong, FAIA. He was hired by Pereira & Luckman and worked there until the dissolution of the firm in 1958. At that time, he continued with Pereira at the new firm, William Pereira and Associates. In 1974, Wong formed his own firm, Gin Wong Associates. While at Pereira's office, Wong had major roles in the design of the Occidental Center, Crocker Bank, Mutual Benefit Life, and the tower addition to the St. Francis Hotel in San Francisco. In 1959, the Los Angeles Times described Wong as "one of the country's outstanding designers and planners." The Los Angeles Conservancy describes Wong as "one of a unique group of Chinese-American architects who helped define the postwar architecture of Los Angeles. Against seemingly insurmountable odds, including racial covenants in midcentury Los Angeles, Wong persevered to forge a distinguished career."

PROJ-11427 HPC/04/25/18/DN Page 9 of 11 HPC - 14 • Design, Materials, Workmanship, Aesthetic Feeling:

The building retains the key exterior character-defining features of its original Brutalist design, including its surrounding sunken garden with landscaped berms; elevated terrace, steps, bridges and cantilevered balcony with bush-hammered, exposed aggregate concrete guardrail; two­ story height; simple, cubical massing; symmetrical composition; flat, cantilevered roof with canted· plaster parapet; bush-hammered, exposed aggregate concrete beams and columns; and glazed curtain walls with a bronze colored aluminum frame and brown-tinted glass. The building also retains some interior character defining features including its waffle slab concrete roof/ceiling, terrazzo flooring, and sculptural staircase.

The building retains most of the materials that characterize its original Brutalist design, including bush-hammered concrete columns, beams, and guardrails; patterned concrete paving; glass and aluminum curtain walls; and terrazzo flooring.

The building retains the essential physical evidence of period construction techniques, including bush-hammered and waffle-slab concrete construction, glass and aluminum curtain walls, and terrazzo flooring.

Therefore, the building retains integrity of design, materials, workmanship, and aesthetic feeling.

• Events:

The subject building is still able to convey its historic association as a late- 1960s Brutalist institutional building designed by noted architects. The building also represents a significant trend in the development of financial institutions after World War 11, which played a critical role in postwar residential development and the ability of middle class Americans to buy homes.

• Lives:

There is no evidence that the previous owners of the property were involved in local politics or social movements and are not associated with a meaningful contribution to local history.

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT

Staff has determined the proposed project is Categorically Exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under CEQA Guidelines Section 15306 (Class 6, Information Collection) because the Preliminary Historical Assessment consists of information gathering purposes, or as part of a study leading to an action which a public PROJ-11427 HPC/04/25/18/DN Page 10 of 11 HPC - 15 agency has not yet approved, adopted, or funded. No exceptions apply to defeat the exemption.

RECOMMENDATION

Staff recommends that the HPC: 1. Confirm by minute motion that the subject structure is historically significant; 2. Encourage the property owner to submit a local Historic Landmark Designation application and consider filing an application to list the building on the National Register of Historic Places and California Register of Historic Places; and 3. Discuss the property owner's intended use of the building and how to approach exterior and interior modifications to the building.

FUTURE ACTIONS

• Planning application for local Historic Landmark Designation and Design Review Permit, and potentially a Mills Act Contract.

Hello Mayor Andrews, I am an everyday citizen and small business owner in the City of Ventura. I have lived here for 14 years and had my place of business here for 6. I currently have a great concern and truthfully don't know how or where to begin to address the problem. The problem is the building that is located at 250 Mills Road. It is the vacant building which is the worst building in the entire city. It is obvious that it has been overrun by homeless, taggers and other nefarious types. This building is in unacceptable condition, poses a safety hazard and at minimum reflects badly on the condition of our city. I have no idea what the laws and regulations are that can and/or should be imposed in regards to forcing the owner to do something about its condition. I am asking your guidance as to where to begin addressing this issue via proper channels. Your assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Best regards, Carol Cintron 291 Donner Ave. Ventura, CA 93003 805-212-0882
