Lead agency name and address: Ventura Unified School District 255 W Stanley Ave #100 Ventura, CA 93001 3. Contact person and phone number: Ms. Terri Allison, Facilities Planner Office: 805.289.7981 4. Project location: The project site is located at 2717 North Ventura Avenue in the City of Ventura, California. The project site is approximately 7.44 acres and contains the Avenue School, not currently in use, and several small bungalow buildings used by the Head Start Program. The two outbuildings to be demolished are located on the northwest corner of the project site. Figure 1 shows the location of the site within the region and Figure 2 shows the project location on the site. 5. Project sponsor’s name and address: Ventura Unified School District 255 W Stanley Ave #100 Ventura, CA 93001 6. General plan designation/zoning: Public-Institutional / Single Family (R-1-1AC) 7. Description of project: Currently, the 7.44-acre project area contains the Avenue School (not currently in use), remnants of the E.P. Foster residence, and two portable classrooms used by the Head Start Program. Previously, the project site housed the E.P. Foster Residence, a historic, locally listed building that was destroyed by fire in 2010. The residence consisted of a main house and several outbuildings. The proposed project involves the demolition of two vacant outbuildings. The two outbuildings slated for demolition consist of a one-story building thought to have either been an employee residence or a guest house and an adjacent two-story building thought Ventura Unified School District 1 E.P. Foster House Site Outbuildings Demolition Project Initial Study-Mitigated Negative Declaration to have served as a carriage house/garage with guest quarters above. The District now proposes to demolish the two outbuildings, as they are in serious disrepair, are unsafe, and have become an attractive nuisance. The outbuildings are located in the northwest corner of the project area. 8. Surrounding land uses and setting: The two outbuildings are surrounded by undeveloped land to the north and west, two portable classrooms to the east, commercial and residential uses further east across Ventura Avenue, a vacant school immediately south, and commercial and industrial uses further south past the school. Existing conditions onsite and in the site vicinity are illustrated on Figure 3. 9.

(Rincon) for the City of Ventura (City) to update the historical resource assessment and summarize the existing studies prepared for the property located at 297-299 East Main Street in Ventura, California. Rincon understands this memorandum will be used to provide cultural resources data for the Anacapa Courts Mixed Use Project (project), located on an 0.50-acre parcel in the Urban Core (T6.1) zone district of the City’s Downtown Specific Plan (DTSP). Rincon understands the project includes development of a four-story mixed-use building with approximately 3,850-square feet of street level commercial space, a 41 space ground level parking garage, and 24 residential condominium units, including 4 inclusionary units, arranged around a central courtyard and atrium space, over a podium. The project site is vacant, save for a small, unoccupied roadside eatery, the Top Hat Restaurant (subject building). The Top Hat Restaurant was determined eligible for listing in the NRHP by the California Historical Resources Commission; it is therefore listed in the California Register of Historical Resources (CRHR) and is considered a historical resource for the purposes of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
