The Project will reuse the existing two-story office building for restaurant uses and an event space/banquet facility. The purpose of this report is to determine if historic resources as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)1 are present at 1545-1551 North Wilcox Avenue, and, if so, to identify potential impacts to historic resources caused by the proposed Project. This report is intended to inform environmental review of the proposed Project. This study included a review of primary and secondary sources related to the development of the Hollywood Citizen-News as well as the newspaper publishing industry in Hollywood and Los Angeles, a field investigation of the Project Site, and analysis and evaluation of the Project Site in consideration of National Register of Historic Places (NRHP), California Register of Historical Resources (CRHR), and City of Los Angeles designation criteria. Based on visual observation of the property, research of primary and secondary sources, and an analysis of the eligibility criteria for listing at the federal, state, and local levels, HRG has determined that the Hollywood Citizen-News Building is eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places, the California Register of Historical Resources, and for local designation as a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument. Analysis of potential impacts to historical resources reveals that the Project will rehabilitate a building that is eligible for listing in the National Register, the California Register, and for local listing as a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument. With mitigation to ensure that the Project rehabilitation is conducted in accordance with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards, the Project will avoid significant impacts to historic resources. 1 California PRC, Section 21084.1. HISTORIC RESOURCES TECHNICAL REPORT Hollywood Citizen-News Building 1545-1551 North Wilcox Avenue, Los Angeles HISTORIC RESOURCES GROUP 2.0 INTRODUCTION 6 2.1 Purpose The purpose of this technical report is to determine if historic resources as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)2 are present at 1545-1551 North Wilcox Avenue, and, if so, to identify potential impacts to historic resources caused by the proposed Project. This report is intended to inform environmental review of the proposed Project. Under CEQA the potential impacts of a project on historic resources must be considered. The purpose of CEQA is to evaluate whether a proposed project may have a significant adverse effect on the environment and, if so, if that effect can be reduced or eliminated by pursuing an alternative course of action or through mitigation measures. The impacts of a project on a historic resource may be considered an environmental impact. CEQA states that: A project that may cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of an historical resource is a project that may have a significant effect on the environment.3 Thus, an evaluation of project impacts under CEQA requires a two-part inquiry: (1) a determination of whether the project site contains or is adjacent to a historical resource or resources, and if so, (2) a determination of whether the proposed project will result in a “substantial adverse change” in the significance of the resource or resources. This report investigates the proposed Project Site to determine if historic resources exist either within or adjacent to its boundaries and analyzes project impacts for any adverse change in the significance of such resources. This report contains: • A review of the existing property situated on the Project Site • A review of any previous historic evaluations through historic survey, environmental review, or other official action 2 California PRC, Section 21084.1. 3 Ibid.

An existing basement is to remain and serve as back-of-house/storage for the ground floor restaurants. The Applicant will be requesting a Site Plan Review for the change of use which results in a net increase of 1,000 or more average daily vehicle trips. The Project also includes the sale and dispensing of full-line alcoholic beverages for on- site consumption with the operation of the two ground floor restaurants and second floor event space/banquet facility, operated independent of one another. The Applicant requests an MCUB for the three tenant spaces, with operation seven days per week, from 7:00 AM to 2:00 AM daily. The Applicant is concurrently pursuing a nomination of the building as a historic cultural monument (HCM) with the City’s Historic Preservation Commission and the Office of Historic Resources. See Cultural Heritage Commission Case No. CHC-2018-3629- HCM. 3.2 Use Permitted Pursuant to LAMC § 12.16, restaurants and event spaces/banquet facilities are a permitted use as-of-right in the C4 commercial zone. 3.3 Concurrent Application for Historic-Cultural Monument (HCM) Status Concurrently with this MCUP application, the Applicant has submitted and is pursuing an application with the Department of Historic Resources to designate the Citizen News Building as a HCM, subject to approval of the City’s Cultural Heritage Commission. This request for a SPR and MCUP is made in reliance upon approval of the request for HCM status. 3.4 Parking Provided No on-site parking is currently provided or required as part of the change of use of a historic structure pursuant to LAMC § 12.21.A.4.x. As a practical matter, the Applicant recognizes the need to accommodate patrons who travel to the Site by automobile and 4 Project description as provided by the Applicant.

  • Eternal Lies Addendum – Local Newspapers
    ETERNAL LIES ADDENDUM – LOCAL NEWSPAPERS This addendum to the Alexandrian Remix of Eternal Lies adds historically-sourced local newspapers to all of the major locations of the campaign. I have not researched papers for New York (the PCs spend so little time there; and, if in doubt, use the New York Times) or Thibet (the PCs are in such an isolated location that newspapers are unlikely to be available, except perhaps for an international edition of a paper like the Paris Herald Tribune, as described under Bangkok newspapers). Hitting up the morgues of local papers for leads has become such a standard procedural element for Cthulhu-esque investigators that I probably don’t need to pontificate upon it at any great length here. It should be noted that the original campaign references a number of specific newspapers in which specific articles of note are published; those are generally not mentioned here (although obviously they also exist). The purpose of this resource is to provide a firm foundation for the GM to improvise from when the PCs go off the beaten path and begin performing unanticipated background research. When I originally ran the campaign, I also found that it was not particularly uncommon for the globetrotting PCs to specifically request a local newspaper upon checking into a new hotel. Being able to reference specific papers (with a few personalizing factoids to distinguish one broadsheet from another) proved to be a remarkably effective and immersive technique that can contribute greatly to the meaningful sensation of the campaign moving through space and culture.

  • The History of Valentine Camp by Mary Farrell
    History of Valentine Camp Mary M. Farrell Trans-Sierran Archaeological Research P.O. Box 840 Lone Pine, CA 93545 November 7, 2015 Prepared for Valentine Eastern Sierra Reserve University of California, Santa Barbara, Natural Reserve System Sierra Nevada Aquatic Research Laboratory 1016 Mt. Morrison Road Mammoth Lakes, CA 93546 Abstract Located in Mammoth Lakes, California, Valentine Camp and the nearby Sierra Nevada Aquatic Research Laboratory form the Valentine Eastern Sierra Reserve, a field research station in the University of California's Natural Reserve System. The University’s tenure at Valentine Camp began over 40 years ago, but the area’s history goes back thousands of years. Before the arrival of Euroamericans in the nineteenth century, the region was home to Paiutes and other Native American tribes. Land just east of Valentine Camp was surveyed under contract with the United States government in 1856, and mineral deposits in the mountains just west of Valentine Camp brought hundreds of miners to the vicinity in the last decades of the nineteenth century. Even as mining in the region waned, grazing increased. The land that became Valentine Camp was patented in 1897 by Thomas Williams, a rancher and capitalist who lived in Owens Valley. It was Williams’s son, also Thomas, who sold the 160 acres to Valentine Camp’s founders. Those founders were very wealthy, very influential men in southern California who could have, and did, vacation wherever they wanted. Anyone familiar with the natural beauty of Mammoth Lakes would not be surprised that they chose to spend time at Valentine Camp. Valentine Camp was donated to the University of California Natural Land and Water Reserve System (now the Natural Reserve System) in 1972 to ensure the land’s continued protection.

Bennett Spring 2017 iii Copyright © 2017 by Beauregard B. Bennett All Rights Reserved iv DEDICATION For all the women in my life. The ones who raised me, nurtured me, supported me, loved me and endured me. Thanks for believing in me, even when I don’t believe in myself. And a special dedication for the young lady who I haven’t met yet, this work is for you all! v ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS “Guttural German”: Herbert Marcuse, the Media, and Student Radicalism in San Diego During the 1960s by Beauregard B. Bennett Master of Arts in History San Diego State University, 2017 Many university campuses in the United States experienced increased levels of unrest during the 1960s. San Diego universities also contributed to facets of student rebellion nationally and globally. Arguably, no one figure became such a polarizing and inspiring icon of the 1960s as UCSD’s Professor Herbert Marcuse. Guttural German seeks to uncover the roots of Marcuse’s controversial dismissal from UCSD while exploring the factors motivating his most vocal critics. Guttural German utilizes secondary source material that contextualizes the detractors of Marcuse and traces their history of opposition towards contrarian thought in the region. Additionally, Guttural German relies heavily primary sources from The San Diego Union, as well as archival material originating from SDSU Library Special Collections, letters and transcripts from (Dean of San Diego Journalism) Harold Keen’s collected papers; and documents from the Gwartney American Legion and Anti-Communism Collection at SDSU.
