Executive Summary

This Historical Resource Technical Report (HRTR) was updated at the request of Tierra Environmental Services, Inc., to determine the potential historical and/or architectural significance and existing conditions of a one-story, single-family residence located at 4515 Ladera Street, San Diego, California, according to National Register of Historic Places, California Register of Historical Resources, and City of San Diego Historical Resources Board designation criteria. The study is consistent with the adopted City of San Diego, Historical Resources Board (HRB), Historical Resource Technical Report Guidelines and Requirements (Land Development Manual, Historical Resources Guidelines, Appendix E, Part 1.2, February 2009) and the adopted Guidelines for the Application of Historical Resources Board Designation Criteria (Land Development Manual, Historical Resources Guidelines, Appendix E, Part 2, August 27, 2009). Originally, the HRTR was prepared in March 2013 in conjunction with the Sunset Cliffs Hillside Park Project (Project Number 236548) to determine whether the 4515 Ladera Street residence can be considered historically and/or architecturally significant. The report was subsequently updated to reflect any change in conditions in September 2017, and revised again, pursuant to revisions requested by the City of San Diego, in April 2018.

The 4515 Ladera Street property is located within Sunset Cliffs Natural Park. The Park is composed of approximately 50 acres south and southeast of Ladera Street (Assessor’s Parcel Number 532-510-14-00). The Ladera Street residence is located on a portion of the 50 acres, identified as Lots 2 and 3 of the Loma Cliffs Subdivision, according to Map Number 4095, which was filed in the Office of the County Recorder on February 20, 1959, Assessor’s Parcel Number 760-217-18-00.

The 4515 Ladera Street property largely consists of a one-story, Modern Post and Beam single-family residence. The building was designed in 1963 by architect Richard John Lareau and built in 1964 by contractor T.A. Bignell. The home was built for original owner, Rose Vollmer and served as a rental property over the course of its existence. The property is owned by the City of San Diego and has been rented by current occupants, Tom and Jennie Minor since 1981.

Historical research indicates that the 4515 Ladera Street residence is architecturally significant. The building is not associated with any important events or individuals at the local, state or national levels. However, the building embodies the distinctive characteristics of a style, type, period, and method of Modern Post and Beam construction; and represents the notable work of “master” architect Richard John Lareau.

As a property which is architecturally significant under local, state, or national significance criteria, the 4515 Ladera Street residence is eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places, the California Register of Historical Resources, the California Historic Resources Inventory, and the San Diego Historical Resources Board Register.

Sunset Cliffs Natural Park, Hillside Park is an existing 50-acre park in the City of San Diego. The proposed Project includes the removal of four buildings off Lomaland Drive (identified as the Properties--4101 Lomaland Drive #1, #2, #3, and #4 buildings) and the residence located at 4515 Ladera Street in the southern portion of the Hillside Park. After the removal of all structures and appurtenances, landscaping and utilities, the land will be regraded to restore sheet flow and natural drainage patterns. At the Lomaland Drive site, runoff onto the Lomaland Drive site will be redirected to Lomaland Drive. In addition to the structure removal, the proposed Project includes site restoration of natural habitat at these locations. Habitat restoration will include implementation of irrigation and planting plans that have been developed to successfully restore the sites to natural habitat that complement the surrounding area. However, the proposed Project will result in a substantial adverse impact upon a historical resource and impair its significance. As such, the project impact cannot be mitigated to a level below significance.

Introduction

Report Organization

The original HRTR was prepared in 2013 to determine the potential historical and/or architectural significance of a one-story, single-family residence located at 4515 Ladera Street in San Diego, California as part of the proposed Sunset Cliffs Hillside Park Project (Project Number 236548). The report was subsequently updated in 2017 to reflect any change in conditions, and again revised in April 2018. The 4515 Ladera Street residence was constructed in 1964 and the building is presently 54 years of age. Since structures that are at least 45 years of age may be considered potential historic resources under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the 4515 Ladera Street residence was originally researched and evaluated as a potential historic resource in accordance with City of San Diego Historical Resources Board (HRB) local criteria; California Register of Historical Resources (state) criteria; and National Register of Historic Places (national) criteria by Scott A. Moomjian, Esq., Historic Properties Consultant, from June-August 2012. The original study and update have determined that the 4515 Ladera Street residence is architecturally significant under City of San Diego, HRB Criterion C (Architecture) and Criterion D (Work of a Master); California Register Criterion 3 (Architecture and Work of an Important, Creative Individual); and National Register Criterion D (Work of a Master).

Project Area

The 4515 Ladera Street residence is located in San Diego, California within the Sunset Cliffs Natural Park. More specifically, the property is located in the Point Loma community and Loma Cliffs subdivision, which developed historically as part of the Sunset Cliffs neighborhood. The residence is located on Lots 2 and 3, Loma Cliffs, Assessor’s Parcel Number 760-217-18-00, within an open, natural coastal environment. While the residence is located in close proximity to single-family homes built north, northeast, and east of the Sunset Cliffs Natural Park, the property is somewhat secluded and isolated from the built-environment. The residence was constructed above the coastline with a public walk to the west. It is located on Ladera Street in the Sunset Cliffs/Point Loma area of San Diego. Ladera Street is the southernmost residential street on the ocean side of Point Loma, bounded by open space to the east, southeast, and south; Sunset Cliffs Boulevard and Cordova Street to the north; and Cornish Drive to the northeast.

The surrounding neighborhood was largely developed beginning around the mid-1950s. Such development has continued to the present day. Originally, the neighborhood setting in and around the residence generally consisted of one-story, Modern style single-family residential construction. However, the area has experienced more contemporary development over the years with the construction of some new residential homes. Overall, architectural styles in and around the residence are eclectic in nature and generally reflect a mix of Modern/Contemporary designs.

Project Personnel

Project personnel included Scott A. Moomjian, Esq., Historic Properties Consultant, who conducted the field survey, archival research, and prepared the final report with its findings and conclusions. All chain of title research was conducted by California Lot Book, Inc.

Project Area and Vicinity

The overall area in and around the 4515 Ladera Street residence is residential and largely consists of single-family homes. The Loma Cliffs subdivision in which the building is located was filed in February 1959. Over the years, the neighborhood setting in and around the 4515 Ladera Street residence has not substantially changed. Originally, the neighborhood setting in and around the residence generally consisted of one-story, Modern style single-family residential construction. However, the area has experienced more contemporary development over the years with the construction of some new residential homes. Overall, architectural styles in and around the residence are eclectic in nature and generally reflect a mix of Modern/Contemporary designs.

The 4515 Ladera Street residence was not identified in any previous historic surveys or inventories. This is due to the fact that there have not been any historical resource surveys or inventories conducted for this area of San Diego, including the Sunset Cliffs community. However, the property was the focus of a previous historic study entitled The Sarah Wood & Rose Vollmer, Richard John Lareau House, prepared by Johnson & Johnson Architecture in April 2012. While this report concluded that the residence was architecturally significant, it was not prepared in accordance with the City of San Diego’s Historical Resource Technical Report Guidelines and Requirements (Revised May 2009). As such, the report and its findings were not accepted by the City of San Diego Development Services Department (DSD).

The property on which the 4515 Ladera Street residence is located, Lots 2 and 3 of the Loma Cliffs subdivision, was acquired by Sarah A. Wood and Rose V. Vollmer from Charles C. Crouch in August 1951. Sarah Wood was the mother of Rose Vollmer. Vollmer is known to have owned and developed at least three homes in the Point Loma/Sunset Cliffs area (the subject property, see discussion below; and two other homes to the east on property today owned by Point Loma Nazarene University). In November 1963, Wood and Vollmer deeded the 4515 Ladera Street property to California Western University of San Diego (“California Western”). After California Western merged with United States International University “USIU”), the property was then conveyed to USIU in August 1967. Several years later in December 1973, the property was acquired by the City of San Diego. The property is today still owned by the City of San Diego.

Historical research indicates that the 4515 Ladera Street residence was designed by architect Richard John Lareau in 1963 and built by contractor T.A. Bignell for Rose Vollmer in 1964. Review of the Residential Building Record indicates that the residence was constructed in 1965. This date of construction is not accurate. A Notice of Completion filed on the property indicates that the residence was completed by contractor T.A. Bignell for Rose Vollmer in April 1964. The Notice of Completion was recorded at the request of Richard John Lareau & Associates in May 1964. According to a City of San Diego Building Permit Application, Richard John Lareau served as the architect to design a “Residence & Garage” for Rose Vollmer in July 1963. Mr. Lareau has also confirmed in an oral interview that he served as the architect. Review of City of San Diego Water and Sewer Service Orders indicate that water service was provided to the property in September 1963 and sewer service was provided to the property in November 1963, both for owner “Rose Vollmer.” The fact that the home was built for Vollmer in 1964 is interesting considering that by November 1963, the property had been deeded to California Western. Over the course of its existence, the 4515 Ladera Street residence was used as a rental property and was occupied during the 1960s and 1970s by faculty and students from California Western. Since 1981, the property has been occupied by Tom and Jennie Minor.

Richard John Lareau, AIA

Richard ("Dick") Lareau was born in Bremerton, Washington. While growing up, Lareau’s father served in the United States Navy and the family lived in Virginia and New York. Ultimately, the family moved to Coronado and then Chula Vista. At the age of thirteen, Lareau visited his older brother who was attending the University of California at Berkeley. Lareau was impressed with architectural work of his brother’s friend, Jack Herman, and returned to Chula Vista with dreams of becoming an architect. While at Chula Vista Junior High School high school, Lareau designed a house as part of a class assignment. He later graduated from Sweetwater High School in 1945.

Upon graduation from high school, Lareau joined the United States Navy and the V-5 Flight program. In 1949, he attended the University of New Mexico and San Diego State University. In 1954, he obtained his BA degree from the University of California at Berkeley. One year later, he received an MA in architecture from the same institution. While at Berkeley, he served as president of the campus Architectural Association. After graduation, Lareau worked in the San Francisco Bay Area for one-year practicing architecture at the firm of Kitchen and Hunt, as one of the architects for the Winter Olympics at Squaw Valley (held in 1960).

In the mid-1950s, Lareau returned to San Diego where he worked for Paderewski, Mitchell & Dean until he opened his own firm, Richard John Lareau & Associates in 1957. Lareau’s first office was located on Sixth Avenue. Through the late 1950s and early 1960s, he practiced from his small office, until he later moved to another office on Sixth Avenue and then into larger space at 5055 Harbor Drive. By 1968, Lareau drew up office plans for his office located at 2845 Nimitz Boulevard. Lareau still continues to practice architecture at this location today.

At its height, Richard John Lareau & Associates had a staff of fifteen architects which offered a comprehensive group of services in architecture, planning, engineering, landscape architecture, interior design, project feasibility, property processing, and energy conservation. The Lareau office acted as a training ground for a number of the region's architects such as Al Macy, Paul McKim, George Hartley, Bill Richards and Paul Thorke. The firm also included house interior designers and landscape architects like Seifert and Wyckoff. In addition to working with local landscape architects, the Lareau office also engaged local artists James Hubbell, Ira Spector and Mike Madson to integrate their sculptural work into some of the firm's projects.

With respect single-family residential design, Lareau designed almost exclusively in the Modern style. According to Mr. Lareau only “very few” examples were not designed in the Modern style. With an early respect for Harwell Hamilton Harris, Lareau’s design philosophy was built around expressing the structure of a building. Seeing structure as a building's decorative program, Lareau’s fondness for circular buildings has been profound. Homes associated with Lareau are Modern in style and feature flat roofs with wide eave overhangs and projecting beams; natural wall cladding material; and extensive use of glass (floor to ceiling and/or large panes) which take into account the natural setting and/or property views. According to Lareau, residential designs which best express his design philosophy and style, include homes built for Rose Vollmer, John Cranston, Howard Brubeck, Robert McCommins, Jack White, John Struthers (in Julian), Dwight Boehm, Brian Wyckoff, Mike Brown, Jack Bone, Richard Robinson, and John Abbott.

Historical Overview Of Point Loma, Sunset Cliffs & Loma Cliffs

The 4515 Ladera Street residence is located within the Sunset Cliffs Natural Park and the Loma Cliffs subdivision. In a larger context, the residence is located within San Diego’s Point Loma community and the Sunset Cliffs neighborhood. The community of Point Loma is one of the oldest in San Diego. This community has been defined as that area between Fort Rosecrans to the south, Nimitz Boulevard to the north, Catalina Boulevard or Sunset Cliffs to the west, and the San Diego Harbor to the east. The recorded history of the Point Loma area goes back to Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo’s landing at Ballast Point on September 28, 1542. An early description of Point Loma states that it was a “ridge 400 feet high and 5 1/2 miles long…bare of trees, sparsely covered with grass, sagebrush and cactus. Point Loma was originally called “La Punta de California.” In 1769, the

name was changed to “La Loma de San Diego.” Ultimately, this name would change once more to Point Loma.

In 1876, the first Portuguese fishermen arrived to fish off the coast of Point Loma and the Portuguese community is still a strong element of life in the community. Once the Portuguese arrived, they found a community of Chinese fishermen already established along the coastline. Abalone was so plentiful that the Chinese had been using it for bait off the Point Loma shores since the 1860s. Tuna fishing and canning became a prominent part of San Diego’s economy in the 19th and 20th centuries, and the first fish packing company, the San Diego Packing Company, was built in 1914 in Point Loma.

By the turn of the twentieth century, much of the Point Loma peninsular was under the control of two very different institutions. In 1897, Madame Katherine Tingley established the Theosophical Society of Universal Brotherhood on the site now occupied by Point Loma Nazarene University. The organization operated until 1942 and drew followers from all over the world. The school was supposed to be a temple of living light, illuminating up the dark spaces of the earth. The centerpiece of the school was its boarding-school system for children and adults. The primary activities of the organization were heavily oriented toward the arts and cultural programs.

In the 1890s, the United States Army moved into Point Loma and occupied Fort Rosecrans. The Army began with the installation of some defensive batteries, and the government built a quarantine station and coaling station at Ballast Point. By 1898, the troops were stationed there on a regular basis. The Army controlled the defense point until 1959 when the various military properties were transferred to the U.S. Navy. Fort Rosecrans served as a major part of the port defense system for the city of San Diego.

In 1940, plans were undertaken to create Rosecrans Boulevard, formerly known as La Playa Trail. This stretch of land along the eastern edge of the peninsula was once used by ox carts to transport supplies offloaded from vessels anchored off Loma Portal. The goods were taken inland from the La Playa area, along Taylor Street and Mission Valley Road to the Mission San Diego de Alcala. This is also the route used by Cabrillo and his men to get to the San Diego River to obtain water.

7 in-filled with a mixture of early twentieth century homes which have been restored, small shops, and luxurious architect-designed houses which take advantage of the hillside or beach lots and the stunning views available to home builders.

The Sunset Cliffs community was a subdivision created by Los Angeles real estate developer, John P. Mills, in association with the Pantages, Mills & Shreve Company in 1925. Mills and his wife, Elizabeth, formed the John P. Mills Organization in Long Beach, California in 1922 and came to San Diego with $3 million to invest and develop their own vision of Sunset Cliffs, as well as the neighboring Riviera Villas subdivision and other projects. Upon arrival, Mills acquired 300 acres with a graded street directly associated with Sunset Cliffs Park from Albert “Baseball Al” Spaulding. Mills envisioned developing a “Mediterranean Riviera” up the hills of Point Loma as a planned community with its own mini-commercial center on Point Loma Avenue. He overlaid this planned community using streets graded by Spaulding in 1915 and capitalized on Sunset Cliffs Park as a destination resort community within San Diego.

Ultimately, the John P. Mills Organization and the Pantages, Mills & Shreve Company marketed the real estate in the Sunset Cliffs and Riviera Villas subdivisions on the west- facing side overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Mills recorded the level land near the park on March 1, 1926 and aptly named it “Sunset Cliffs.” He and Elizabeth then recorded the Riviera Villas subdivision on July 14, 1926 for the uplands east of Novara Street. Individuals from both companies personally invested in lots and houses and bought from Pantages, Mills & Shreve. Theater magnate, Alexander Pantages was a partner with Elvira Mendenhall in the Pantages Theater Company, Inc., which bought and sold land within Sunset Cliffs and Riviera Villas through the 1930s. The Pantages Theater Company, Inc. was incorporated in 1924 in Los Angeles, and it is believed that they knew the Mills there.

During the late 1920s, the historic landscape for the Sunset Cliffs and Riviera Villas remained wide open spaces interspersed with majestic Spanish Eclectic mansions. Mills maintained strict architectural control and required that all dwellings erected in Sunset Cliffs incorporate Spanish/Mediterranean styles with light colors, stucco facades, and tile roofs. The Pantages, Mills & Shreve Company offered the “most modern conveniences” to patrons that included fine, wide paved streets; electroliers; sewers; sidewalks; curbs; lights; gas and water lines; and a complete transportation system giving rapid service to the center of San Diego.

To lure investors to his paradise, Mills hired special trains to bring individuals from Los Angeles and Orange counties. The Pantages, Mills & Shreve Company blitzed San Diego with newspaper advertisements about the virtues of acquiring lots in the exclusive Sunset Cliffs and Riviera Villas neighborhoods of Point Loma. Mills set up large tents at various locations to promote land sales. He hired salesmen and women to work the crowd, while potential purchasers ate free lunches or dinners, listened to lectures on investment opportunities, and then went out to watch airplane aerobatics or ride boats.

Initially, property sales were brisk. Quite a few individuals erected homes in the Sunset Cliffs area, some just for show like John Steven McGroarty, the creator of the famous “Mission Play.” Homes like the Mills House (1203 Sunset Cliffs Boulevard, identified as the “Cliff Mansion,” City of San Diego Landmark #107) built in 1926, the Glen Funcheon/Douglas T. Kelley House (4423 Alhambra Street, Landmark #533), designed by Los Angeles architectural designer and builder Glen Funcheon in 1927, and the Joseph and Esten Shreve House (4510 Alhambra Street, Landmark #719), are all excellent examples of homes built in the area during the late 1920s. Unfortunately, Mills’ grand scheme was short lived and his generous offers by 1929 to finance 100% of the home building, plus his enormous investment in the area’s infrastructure, left him penniless when the Great Depression of 1929 hit. In 1930, he was forced to put up his own home for sale which ultimately sold eight years later. In a 1975 interview, Mills claimed that he left San Diego dead broke in 1930.

In 2005, Sunset Cliffs was determined by the City of San Diego, Historical Resources Board (HRB), in conjunction with the designation of the Joseph and Esten Shreve House (4510 Alhambra Street, Landmark #719), to be historically significant on the basis of its important community development. More specifically, homes built between 1925-1938, were determined to be significant as a contribution of non-contiguous Pantages, Mills & Shreve Company-inspired properties built within this period that exemplify Sunset Cliffs’ Spanish Eclectic architectural history that developed prior to the Great Depression. These Spanish Eclectic homes were strategically built at key intersections to serve as model homes for the fledgling Sunset Cliffs planned community and are emblematic of the size and character envisioned for the “Mediterranean Riviera” on the Pacific.

In addition, a detailed site visit/inspection was undertaken with the present occupants of the property (Tom and Jennie Minor) and architect Richard John Lareau on July 13, 2012. Further, a detailed interview was conducted with Mr. Lareau at his architectural office on July 20, 2012. The update to the present study included a review and reconsideration of the original historical research and findings; a detailed site visit/inspection; and revisions to the original HRTR.

Field Survey

The field survey work was originally conducted by Scott A. Moomjian, Esq. on July 13, 2012. An intensive survey of the subject property and surrounding neighborhood was undertaken at this time. An updated site visit of the property was undertaken by Mr. Moomjian on August 16, 2017. The 4515 Ladera Street residence was recorded, and updated, on the appropriate DPR 523 forms according to instructions and publications produced by the California Office of Historic Preservation (See Attachment D).

Description of Surveyed Resource

The 4515 Ladera Street property largely consists of a one-story, Modern Post and Beam single-family residence. Constructed in 1964, the building is essentially rectangular in shape and divided into three modules—a main residential section located along the southern elevation (approximately 1,226 total square feet of living space); an attached car port located at the center of the home (approximately 483 total square feet of space); and an additional living (guest) unit located along the northern elevation (approximately 599 total square feet of living space). The home features a living room, four bedrooms, kitchen, and two bathrooms. Overall, the building consists of 2,308 total square feet.

Of standard wood-frame construction, the 4515 Ladera Street residence is set on a concrete foundation. The home is generally symmetrical and rectangular in shape. The roof is very low in pitch and side-gabled (almost flat) with wide eave overhangs, and projecting beams which run the length of the building along an east/west axis. Roofing material consists of sheet rock. The exterior is largely composed of vertical wood boards except along the middle of the main (east) elevation and side (north) elevation which features concrete block. Fenestration largely consists of metal (aluminum) fixed, slider, and casement windows. Floor to ceiling glass panes exist along the rear (west) elevation, which also feature metal and glass sliding doors. Some fixed wood windows are also present on the building. The main entrance is recessed with a wooden front door and opaque glass sidelight. This latter feature replaced original jalousie windows. A covered walkway area runs parallel to the main entry area, supported by the main roof and wooden beams and posts, and a small courtyard area is located along the southeast elevation. Other changes to the property include the construction of a wooden deck along the rear (west) elevation and the introduction of non-original landscaping and stone paving along the main (east) elevation. Although the residence has suffered from some lack of maintenance over the years, as well as deterioration caused by the coastal environment, overall it appears to be in good condition.

Significance Evaluation

Integrity Evaluation

In addition to determining the significance of a property under local, state, and national criteria, a property must also must possess integrity. Integrity is defined by the National Register of Historic Places as the “ability of a Property to convey and maintain its significance.” It is defined by the HRB Guidelines for the Application of Historical Resources Board Designation Criteria as “the authenticity of a historical resource’s physical identity clearly indicated by the retention of characteristics that existed during the resource’s period of significance.” Further, integrity relates “to the presence or absence of historic materials and character defining features” of a resource. The local, state, and national registers recognize seven aspects of integrity—location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association.

Location

Location is defined by the National Register as “the place where the historic property was constructed or the place where the historic event occurred.” It is defined by the HRB Designation Guidelines as “the place where a resource was constructed or where an event occurred.”

The 4515 Ladera Street residence was constructed in 1964. The building has remained in its original location throughout its existence. As such, the property retains its location element for integrity purposes.

Design

Design is defined by the National Register as the “combination of elements that create the form, plan, space, structure, and style of a property.” It is defined by the HRB Designation Guidelines as resulting “from intentional decisions made during the conception and planning of a resource. Design includes form, plan, space, structure, and style of a property.”

The 4515 Ladera Street residence has not been substantially modified or altered over the years. Improvements to the property have been slight and include the removal of original jalousie windows adjacent to the front door and replacement with a single fixed glass pane; the construction of a wooden deck along the rear (west) elevation; and the introduction of new landscaping and some hardscaping along the main (east) elevation. Collectively, these changes have not modified the appearance of the building, nor altered its original form, plan, space, structure, or style. As such, the property retains its design element for integrity purposes.

Setting

Setting is defined by the National Register as the physical environment of a historic property. It is defined by the HRB Designation Guidelines as applying “to a physical environment, the character of a resource’s location, and a resource’s relationship to the surrounding area.”

The 4515 Ladera Street residence has been located on the same site since its original construction in 1964. Inspection of the surrounding residential neighborhood today located to the north, northeast, and east of the residence, indicates the presence of many original single-family homes. These homes do not appear to have been substantially modified or altered, thereby indicating that the original physical built-environment is intact. In addition, the surrounding open, coastal space to the southeast, east, and west of the residence has not been substantially modified or altered, thereby indicating that the original physical environment is intact. As a result, the property retains its setting element for integrity purposes.

Materials

Materials are defined by the National Register as the physical elements that were combined or deposited during a particular period of time and in a particular pattern or configuration to form a historic property. It is defined by the HRB Designation Guidelines as comprising “the physical elements combined or deposited in a particular pattern or configuration to form a property.”

The materials which have gone into the construction of the 4515 Ladera Street residence are overwhelmingly original. As a result, the property retains its materials element for integrity purposes.

Workmanship

Workmanship is defined by the National Register as “the physical evidence of the crafts of a particular culture or people during any given period in history or prehistory.” It is defined by the HRB Designation Guidelines as consisting “of the physical evidence of crafts employed by a particular culture, people, or artisan, which includes traditional, vernacular, and high styles.”

As with the materials discussion above, the physical craftsmanship that has gone into the construction of the 4515 Ladera Street residence is overwhelmingly original. As such, the property retains its workmanship elements for integrity purposes.

Feeling

Feeling is defined by the National Register as “a property’s expression of the aesthetic or historic sense of a particular period of time.” It is defined by the HRB Designation

Guidelines as relying “on present physical features of a property to convey and evoke an aesthetic or historic sense of past time and place.”

In its current condition, the 4515 Ladera Street residence still imparts an aesthetic sense of mid-1960s Modern Post and Beam residential construction. As a result, the property retains its feeling element for integrity purposes.

Association

Association is defined by the National Register as “the direct link between an important historic event or person and a historic property.” It is defined by the HRB Designation Guidelines as directly [linking] a historic property with a historic event, activity, or person or past time and place; and requires the presence of physical features to convey the property’s historic character.”

The 4515 Ladera Street residence is not directly linked to any important historic events or persons. As a result, the property does not possess, nor has it ever possessed, an associative element for integrity purposes.

Application of San Diego Historical Resources Board (HRB) Register Significance Criteria

According to the City of San Diego Land Development Code, Historical Resources Guidelines (Adopted September 28, 1999; Amended June 6, 2000; April 30, 2001), a building, structure, sign, interior element and fixture, feature, site, place, district, area or object may be designated as historic by the City of San Diego Historical Resources Board if it meets any of the following below criteria. Guidelines in applying the criteria for designation exist in the Guidelines for the Application of Historical Resources Board Designation Criteria (Land Development Manual, Historical Resources Guidelines, Appendix E, Part 2, and adopted August 27, 2009).

Criterion A-- If it exemplifies or reflects special elements of a City’s, a community’s or a neighborhood’s historical, archaeological, cultural, social, economic, political, aesthetic, engineering, landscaping or architectural development.

According to the HRB Designation Guidelines, special elements of development refer to a resource that is distinct among others of its kind or that surpass the usual in significance. It is not enough for a resource to simply reflect an aspect of development, as all buildings, structures, and objects do.

For each aspect of development, the resource shall exemplify or reflect a special element of that development which either maintains an established precedent, or may in itself be the model for development. To be significant for historical development, a resource shall exemplify or reflect a special or unique aspect of the City’s general historical development; or shall exemplify or reflect a unique aspect of the City’s history. To be significant for architectural development, a resource shall exemplify or reflect

development associated with the City’s built environment, especially that designed and constructed by non-architects, including real estate developers, contractors, speculators, homeowners and others associated with the building industry. Finally, to be significant for landscape development, a resource shall exemplify or reflect development associated with garden and park design, subdivision design, or ecosystem/habitat restoration and may include professionally applied standards or design ingenuity within landscape disciplines.

No historical evidence was identified which would support the contention that the 4515 Ladera Street residence exemplifies or reflects special elements of San Diego’s, Sunset Cliffs’, Loma Cliffs, or Ladera Street’s historical, archaeological, cultural, social, economic, political, aesthetic, engineering, landscaping or architectural development. The building in no way exemplifies or reflects “special elements” of City, community, or neighborhood development any more than other existing structures (new or old) along Ladera Street or within the Loma Cliffs subdivision.

Under the Guidelines for the Application of the Historical Resources Board Designation Criteria, the 4515 Ladera Street residence does not possess special elements of development which are distinct among others of its kind or that surpass the usual in significance. The structure was merely constructed as a modest Modern Post and Beam style building that was convenient and popular at the time. The building possesses no special or unique elements which would elevate it to a level above other Modern Post and Beam homes built during the 1960s within the development of any community in the City. As specified under the Guidelines, it is not enough for a resource to simply reflect an aspect of development as all building do.

Similarly, the 4515 Ladera Street residence does not reflect an aspect of Sunset Cliffs or Loma Cliffs development any more than other structures which were also built in the subdivision (either prior to establishment of the subdivision in 1959 or thereafter). The building does not reflect an element of development which maintains an established precedent, nor was it the model of development in the Loma Cliffs subdivision.

In terms of historical development, the 4515 Ladera Street residence does not exemplify or reflect a special or unique aspect of the City’s general historical development or a unique aspect of the City’s history. In terms of architectural development, the building does not exemplify or reflect special development associated with the City’s built environment. Finally, in terms of landscape development, the building does not exemplify or reflect development associated with subdivision design, since the structure was built after the subdivision was first developed in 1959. Therefore, based upon the above analysis, the property does not qualify under any aspect of HRB Criterion A (Community Development).

Criterion B--Is identified with persons or events significant in local, state, or national history.

According to the HRB Designation Guidelines, resources associated with individuals whose specific contributions to history can be identified and documented may qualify under Criterion B for persons significant in history. Persons significant in our past refers to individuals associated with San Diego whose activities, achievements and contributions are demonstrably important within the City, state, or nation.

A person would not be considered historically significant simply by virtue of position/title, association, affiliation, race, gender, ethnicity or religion. Criterion B is generally restricted to those properties that are associated with a person’s important achievements, rather than those that are associated with their birth or retirement, or that are commemorative in nature. The person must have made demonstrable achievements and contributions to the history of San Diego, the state, or the nation. In addition, the resource must be associated with the person during the period that the person’s significant achievements and contributions occurred.

No historical evidence was found which would suggest that the 4515 Ladera Street residence was ever directly identified with any persons or events significant in local, state, or national history. None of the persons associated with the residence performed any activities, achievements or contributions which were demonstrably important within the City, state, or nation. Therefore, the property does not qualify under HRB Criterion B (Historic Person).

Criterion C--Embodies distinctive characteristics of a style, type, period or method of construction or is a valuable example of the use of indigenous materials or craftsmanship.

According to the HRB Designation Guidelines, this Criterion applies to resources significant for their physical design or method of construction. To embody the distinctive characteristics of a style, type, period or method of construction refers to the way in which a property was conceived, designed, or fabricated by an individual, a group of people, or a culture. Distinctive characteristics are those physical features or traits that commonly recur in individual styles, types, periods or methods of construction.

In order to qualify under this Criterion, a resource must embody distinctive characteristics of an architectural style, a type of construction, a recognized construction period, or an identifiable method of construction, as established through accepted bodies of scholarly and professional work. Comparison to other resources of the same style, type, period, or method of construction is not required unless scholarly work has not been done on a particular property type or unless surviving examples of a property type are extremely rare. In these instances where it has not been determined what physical features a property must possess in order for it to reflect the significance of a historic context, comparison with similar properties should be undertaken. It is important to note that Criterion C states that a resource embody the distinctive characteristics of a style, type, period or method of construction; it does not state that the resource must be a unique or distinguished example of a style, type, period or method of construction.

Resources which do not embody the distinctive characteristics of a style, type, period or method of construction as supported by established sources do not qualify.

In October 2007, the City of San Diego developed and implemented the “San Diego Modernism Historic Context Statement” (“Modernism Context Statement”). The stated purpose of the Modernism Context Statement is to “assist in the identification, evaluation and preservation of significant historic buildings, districts, sites and structures associated with the Modernism movement in San Diego from 1935 to 1970” and was created to better understand “Modern era resources and the types of resources that are significant to the history and development of San Diego.” The City of San Diego utilizes the Modernism Context Statement in conjunction with the evaluation of potential historical resources constructed within the Modern era from 1935-1970.

Under the Modernism Context Statement, the 4515 Ladera Street residence was designed and constructed in the “Modern Post and Beam” style in 1964. Over the years, the home has not been modified or altered to the extent that it no longer possesses a sufficient degree of original integrity. In its current appearance, the building is considered a representative example of the Modern Post and Beam architectural style, but not a representative example of the use of indigenous materials or craftsmanship. As such, the residence embodies the distinctive characteristics of a style, type, period, and method of Modern Post and Beam construction.

The Post and Beam Style

Post and Beam is a method of construction which existed in San Diego from approximately 1950-1970. It is a method of construction in which the structural framing consists of load bearing beams supported by columns rather than solid load-bearing walls. This method has been used for centuries in wood-frame and heavy-timber construction. In Modern design, post and beam construction was used as a means of limiting the need for solid load-bearing walls, which allowed for expansive use of glass along the perimeter of the building where one would normally find an opaque wall. In fact, extensive use of glass including entire walls of floor to ceiling glass is a primary characteristic of this style. Simplified aspects of Japanese and Ranch design are frequently seen in Post and Beam architecture.

General Characteristics

Post and Beam Modern houses are characteristically rectilinear with open floor plans that are grid-like in layout and based on a consistent module or beam length. The roofs are generally flat, although there are some examples of Post and Beam Modern construction with gabled roofs. Roof lines frequently include wide overhangs. The structural members may be wood or steel. Used in both residential and commercial design, Post and Beam architecture is generally custom designed and involves a high degree of individualization. It has been noted that examples of Post and Beam construction have been found grouped in “later communities” which “developed in the 1950s and 1960s and offered lots for high-end custom residential development.”

The 4515 Ladera Street residence features all of the general characteristics indicative of Post and Beam residential construction, including its open floor plan which is defined by its three modular sections (main section, car port, and separate room); flat roof with wide eave overhang; custom (architect) design; and mid-1960s date of construction on a premier coastal lot.

Primary Character-Defining Features

The Modernism Context Statement has identified four (4) “Primary” Character-Defining Features of Post and Beam construction. These features have been evaluated in relation to the 4515 Ladera Street residence, accordingly:

•A direct expression of the structural system, usually wood or steel frames;

The structural system used in the 4515 Ladera Street residence is directly expressed by its wood frame which features projecting wood beams that extend outward along an east/west axis. The building, therefore, possesses this Primary character-defining feature of Post and Beam construction.

•Horizontal massing;

The mass of the 4515 Ladera Street residence extends parallel to the coast in a wide, horizontal manner. The building, therefore, possesses this Primary character-defining feature of Post and Beam construction.

•Flat or shallow pitch roofs, with deep overhangs or no parapet; and

The 4515 Ladera Street residence features a very low-pitched, side-gabled roof (almost flat) with wide (deep) eave overhangs and no parapet. The building, therefore, possesses this Primary character-defining feature of Post and Beam construction.

•Floor-to-ceiling glass.

The 4515 Ladera Street residence features floor-to-ceiling glass along its rear (west) elevation which provides unobstructed views of the Pacific Ocean. The building, therefore, possesses this Primary character-defining feature of Post and Beam construction.

Based upon the foregoing, the 4515 Ladera Street residence possesses all of the Primary character-defining features of Post and Beam construction as expressed in the Modernism Context Statement.

Secondary Character-Defining Features

The Modernism Context Statement has identified six (6) “Secondary” Character-Defining features of Post and Beam construction. These features have been evaluated in relation to the 4515 Ladera Street residence, accordingly:

•Repetitive façade geometry;

The 4515 Ladera Street residence features repetitive façade geometry, including its rhythm of wooden beams, posts, modules, and window placements. The building, therefore, possesses this Secondary character-defining feature of Post and Beam construction.

•Minimal use of solid load bearing walls;

The 4515 Ladera Street residence features the minimal use of solid load bearing walls, particularly along the rear (west) elevation which is largely composed of glass windows and doors. The building, therefore, possesses this Secondary character-defining feature of Post and Beam construction.

•An absence of applied decoration;

The 4515 Ladera Street residence does not feature any applied decorative material. The wood siding and concrete block are functional and utilitarian in nature. The building, therefore, possesses this Secondary character-defining feature of Post and Beam construction.

•Strong interior/exterior connections;

The 4515 Ladera Street residence features free-flowing connections between interior spaces and the exterior areas, including the living room/rear (west) elevation; dining room/front courtyard area; entry area/front walkway area; and rear living unit/rear (northwest) elevation. The building, therefore, possesses this Secondary character- defining feature of Post and Beam construction.

•Open interior floor plans; and

Although private and enclosed spaces exist, the interior floor plan of the 4515 Ladera Street residence is largely open and free-flowing. The building, therefore, possesses this Secondary character-defining feature of Post and Beam construction.

•Exterior finish materials usually wood, steel, and glass.

The exterior finishes which exist on the 4515 Ladera Street residence include wood siding; aluminum windows; and wide expanses of glass panes and sliding doors. The

building, therefore, possesses this Secondary character-defining feature of Post and Beam construction.

Based upon the foregoing, the 4515 Ladera Street residence possesses all the Secondary character-defining features of Post and Beam construction as expressed in the Modernism Context Statement.

Evaluation Criteria

The Modernism Context Statement has identified several criteria which need to be considered in evaluating Post and Beam buildings structures. These criteria have been evaluated in relation to the 4515 Ladera Street residence, accordingly:

•“Residential examples of Post and Beam architecture are located in previously established neighborhoods such as Mission Hills, La Jolla, and Point Loma that offered sloped and canyon “fill” lots which were previously un-built due to the inherent difficulty of developing them. Ironically, it is these very features which give these sites visual interest and challenged the architects to develop innovative and interesting building solutions.”

The 4515 Ladera Street residence is located on a unique coastal property adjacent to the Pacific Ocean in the Loma Cliffs subdivision within the San Diego community of Point Loma. The Loma Cliffs subdivision was established in 1959, approximately 5 years before the residence was constructed in 1964. In terms of its location, age, and overall visual interest, the residence meets this eligibility requirement.

•“Due to the relative rarity of this sub-style and high degree of individualization any extant examples should be considered for historic designation.”

The 4515 Ladera Street residence is a somewhat rare, intact, individualized example of Post and Beam architecture. As such, the residence meets this eligibility requirement.

•“District designations may also be considered in instances where examples are found grouped in later communities such as Alvarado Estates, Del Cerro, and Mt. Helix, which were developed in the 1950s and 1960s and offered lots for high-end custom residential development.”

The 4515 Ladera Street residence is not located within a potential or actual historic district formed by Post and Beam architectural examples. As such, this eligibility requirement is not applicable to the property.

•“In evaluating integrity, expression of the structural system through expansive floor-to- ceiling glass and wood or steel framing is critical to conveying the style.”

The structural system which includes floor-to-ceiling glass and wood frame in the 4515 Ladera Street residence is thoroughly intact. The property has a sufficient degree of original integrity. As such, the residence meets this eligibility requirement.

•“Due to the transparent nature of these glass-walled structures the contextual relationship and landscape setting is of extreme importance to the overall character of these properties. Surrounding landscapes associated with Post and Beam architecture should be considered in historical designations and rehabilitation projects. Any intact landscapes, especially those that can be attributed to the architect or a landscape architect, should be retained.”

The 4515 Ladera Street residence is located on a unique coastal property adjacent to the Pacific Ocean. The relationship of the building and its coastal environment is important to its overall architectural quality. As such, the residence meets this eligibility requirement.

Based upon the foregoing, the 4515 Ladera Street residence possesses all of the applicable eligibility requirements for Post and Beam construction as expressed in the Modernism Context Statement. The residence embodies the distinctive characteristics of a style, type, period, and method of Post and Beam construction. The property qualifies under HRB Criterion C (Architecture). However, due to the fact that no indigenous materials went into the construction of the building, the property is not a valuable example of the use of indigenous materials or craftsmanship.

Criterion D--Is representative of the notable work of a master builder, designer, architect, engineer, landscape architect, interior designer, artist, or craftsman.

According to the HRB Designation Guidelines, a propery is not eligible under Criterion D simply because it was designed by a prominent architect, builder, etc. but rather must be the work of a master. Additionally, not all examples of a Master’s work are eligible. Criterion D requires that the resource be a notable work of the Master, and that must be clearly demonstrated.

Historical research indicates the 4515 Ladera Street residence was designed by architect Richard John Lareau, AIA in 1964 and that the home was built by contractor T.A. Bignell. Very little information related to Bignell was identified during the course of historical research. To date, he is not regarded as a master builder or craftsman and it is not known whether the residence would be regarded as a “notable” example of his work. Therefore, the property does not qualify under HRB Criterion D (Work of a Master) as the notable work of T.A. Bignell.

Historical research indicates that architect Richard John Lareau is not presently established by the City of San Diego as a master architect. Lareau is not listed in the City of San Diego’s Biographies of Established Masters, 2011. However, he is listed in the Modernism Context Statement as a “Contributing Designer of Modern San Diego.” A careful review of Lareau’s designs, awards, commendations, and achievements, indicates

that he should now be considered a figure of generally recognized greatness in the field of San Diego architecture.

Over the course of a career spanning the past 59 years, Richard John Lareau was responsible for the design of single-family homes, universities, colleges, hospitals, retirement communities, public projects, commercial buildings, industrial buildings, restaurants, military buildings, apartments and condominiums. In terms of his residential work, Lareau produced Modern style homes, many of which can be classified as Post and Beam. Characteristic “signature” quality aspects of his work include flat roofs with wide eave overhangs and projecting beams; natural wall cladding material; and extensive use of glass (floor to ceiling and/or large panes) which take into account the natural setting and/or property views. All of these features exist in the 4515 Ladera Street residence. Moreover, the home is intact and has not been substantially altered or modified. According to Lareau, the residence is regarded as a “notable” example of his work, due in part, to its harmony with the surrounding natural landscape and the fact that it has not been altered from that of its original design. Consequently, the residence can be considered a notable example of the work of master architect Richard John Lareau. The property qualifies under HRB Criterion D (Work of a Master).

Criterion E--Is listed on or has been determined eligible by the National Park Service for listing on the National Register of Historic Places or is listed or has been determined eligible by the State Historical Preservation Office for listing on the State Register of Historical Resources.

The 4515 Ladera Street residence is not listed on either the National Register or California Register of Historical Resources. The building has not been determined to be eligible for listing on either register by the National Park Service or the State Historic Preservation Office. The property does not qualify under HRB Criterion E (National or California Register Eligible).

Criterion F--Is a finite group of resources related to one another in a clearly distinguishable way or is a geographically definable area or neighborhood containing improvements which have a special character, historical interest or aesthetic value or which represent one or more architectural periods or styles in the history and development of the City.

No historic district exists for the Point Loma community or for the Sunset Cliffs neighborhood. The 4515 Ladera Street residence is not a finite group of resources related together in a clearly distinguishable way, nor is it related together in a geographically definable area or neighborhood containing improvements which have a special character, historical interest or aesthetic value, nor does it represent one or more architectural periods or styles in the history and development of San Diego. The property does not qualify under HRB Criterion F (Historic District).

Application of National and California Register Criteria

When evaluated within its historic context, a property eligible for listing on the National and/or California Registers must be shown to be significant for one or more of the four Criteria for Evaluation–National Register Criterion A/California Register Criterion 1 (Event); National Register Criterion B/California Register Criterion 2 (Person); National Register Criterion C/California Register Criterion 3 (Architecture); or National Register Criterion D/California Register Criterion 4 (Information Potential). The Criteria describe how properties are significant for their association with important events or persons, for their importance in design or construction, or for their information potential. In addition, a property must not only be shown to be significant under the National and/or California Register criteria, but it also must have integrity. The seven aspects of integrity include: location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association.

National Register Criterion A /California Register Criterion 1 (Event)

To be considered for listing under Criterion A, a property must be associated with one or more events important in the defined historic context. The event or trends must clearly be important within the associated context. Mere association with historic events or trends is not enough, in and of itself, to qualify under Criterion A: the property’s specific association must be considered important as well.

The 4515 Ladera Street residence does not qualify under National Register Criterion A or California Register Criterion 1 (Event) at either the local, state, or national levels. Historical research failed to identify any important events associated with the building over the course of its existence.

National Register Criterion B/California Register Criterion 2 (Person)

Criterion B applies to properties associated with individuals whose specific contributions to history can be identified and documented. Persons “significant in our past” refers to individuals whose activities are demonstrably important within a local, State, or national historic context. The criterion is generally restricted to those properties that illustrate (rather than commemorate) a person’s important achievements. The persons associated with the property must be individually significant within a historic context. Significant individuals must be directly associated with the nominated property. Properties eligible under Criterion B are usually those associated with a person’s productive life, reflecting the time period when he or she achieved significance. Speculative associations are not acceptable. Documentation must make clear how the nominated property represents an individual’s significant contributions. A property must retain integrity from the period of its significant historic associations. Architects are often represented by their works, which are eligible under Criterion C.

The 4515 Ladera Street residence does not qualify under National Register Criterion B or California Register Criterion 2 (Person) at either the local, state, or national levels.

Historical research failed to identify any important individuals associated with the building over the course of its existence.

National Register Criterion C/California Register Criterion 3 (Architecture)

Properties may be eligible under Criterion C if they embody the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction, or that represent the work of a master, or that possess high artistic values, or that represent a significant and distinguishable entity whose components may lack individual distinction. Properties which embody the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction refer to the way in which a property was conceived, designed, or fabricated by a people or culture in past periods of history. Distinctive characteristics are the physical features or traits that commonly recur in individual types, periods, or methods of construction. To be eligible, a property must clearly contain enough of those characteristics to be considered a true representative of a particular type, period, or method of construction.

A master is a figure of generally recognized greatness in a field, a known craftsman of consummate skill, or an anonymous craftsman whose work is distinguishable from others by its characteristic style and quality. A property must express a particular phase in the development of the master’s career, an aspect of his or her work, or a particular theme in his or her craft.

Embodying The Distinctive Characteristics Of A Type, Period, Or Method Of Construction

The 4515 Ladera Street residence qualifies under California Register Criterion 3 (Architecture) at the state level due to the fact that it embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, San Diego region, and method of Post and Beam construction under the Modernism Context Statement.

residence embodies the distinctive characteristics of type, period, San Diego region, and method of Post and Beam construction.

The Post and Beam Style

The 4515 Ladera Street residence is located on a unique coastal property adjacent to the Pacific Ocean. The relationship of the building and its coastal environment is importance to its overall architectural quality. As such, the residence meets this eligibility requirement.

Representing The Work Of A Master (National Register) And/Or Important, Creative Individual (California Register)

The 4515 Ladera Street residence qualifies under National Register Criterion C and California Register Criterion 3 (Architecture) at the local, state, and national levels based on its architect. Historical research indicates that architect Richard John Lareau is not presently established at either the local, state, or national levels as a “master” architect. Lareau is not listed in the City of San Diego’s Biographies of Established Masters, 2011. However, he is listed in the Modernism Context Statement as a “Contributing Designer of Modern San Diego.” A careful review of Lareau’s designs, awards, commendations, and achievements, indicates that he should now be considered a figure of generally recognized greatness in the field of San Diego architecture.

Over the course of a career spanning the past 59 years, Richard John Lareau was responsible for the design of single-family homes, universities, colleges, hospitals, retirement communities, public projects, commercial buildings, industrial buildings, restaurants, military buildings, apartments and condominiums. At a minimum, Lareau’s overall body of work gives rise to the conclusion that he is an important, creative individual the field of Modern architecture. In terms of his residential work, Lareau produced Modern style homes, many of which can be classified as Post and Beam. Characteristic “signature” quality aspects of his work include flat roofs with wide eave overhangs and projecting beams; natural wall cladding material; and extensive use of glass (floor to ceiling and/or large panes) which take into account the natural setting and/or property views. All of these features exist in the 4515 Ladera Street residence. Moreover, the home is intact and has not been substantially altered or modified. According to Lareau, the residence is regarded as a “notable” example of his work, due in part, to its harmony with the surrounding natural landscape and the fact that it has not been altered from that of its original design. Consequently, the residence can be considered a notable example of the work of Richard John Lareau as a master architect and important, creative individual. The property qualifies under National Register Criterion C and California Register Criterion 3 (Architecture).

Possessing High Artistic Values

The 4515 Ladera Street residence does not qualify under National Register Criterion C or California Register Criterion 3 as a structure which possesses high artistic values. The building does not articulate a particular concept of design to the extent that an aesthetic ideal is expressed.

National Register Criterion D/California Register Criterion 4 (Information Potential)

Properties may be eligible under Criterion D if they have yielded, or may be likely to yield, information important in prehistory or history.

The 4515 Ladera Street residence does not qualify under National Register Criterion D or California Register Criterion 4 (Information Potential) as the home has not yielded, nor is it likely to yield, information important in terms of history or prehistory.

The 4515 Ladera Street residence was originally designed and constructed as Modern Post and Beam single-family home. The Post and Beam architectural style is not common and is rather unique.

Uniqueness–Use

The 4515 Ladera Street residence was designed and constructed as a single-family residence. Single-family residential use is not unique.

Structural Integrity

The 4515 Ladera Street residence appears to be structurally sound and possesses a sufficient degree of structural integrity.

Application of CEQA

Public Resources Code

CEQA Public Resources Code §21084.1 provides that any 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. Public Resources Code Section §5020.1(q) defines “substantial adverse change” as demolition, destruction, relocation or alteration such that the significance of the historical resource would be impaired. According to Public Resources Code Section §5024.1, an historical resource is a resource that is listed in or determined to be eligible for listing in the California Register of Historical Resources. A resource may be listed as an historical resource in the California Register if it meets any of the following National Register of Historic Places criteria: 1) is associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of California’s history and cultural heritage; 2) is associated with the lives of persons important in our past; 3) embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, region, or method of construction, or represents the work of an important creative individual, or possesses high artistic values; or 4) has yielded, or may likely yield information

important in prehistory or history. In addition, an historical resource is a resource that is listed in or determined to be eligible for listing in the California Register of Historical Resources; a resource that is included in a local register of historical resources; or is identified as significant in an historical resource survey if that survey meets specified criteria.

a) Event Association:

The 4515 Ladera Street residence does not qualify under event association as a resource which is associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of California’s history and cultural heritage. Historical research indicates that the building was never associated with any event or events that have made a significant contribution to California’s history and cultural heritage.

b) Individual Association:

The 4515 Ladera Street residence does not qualify under individual association as a resource which is associated with the lives of persons important in our past. Historical research indicates that the building was never associated with any important or significant individuals. c) Design/Construction:

The 4515 Ladera Street residence embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, San Diego region and method of Modern Post and Beam construction. The building also represents the work of an important creative individual, but does not possess high artistic values.

d) Information Potential:

The 4515 Ladera Street residence does not qualify under information potential as a resource which has yielded, or may likely yield, information important in prehistory or history.

As a resource which is architecturally significant, the 4515 Ladera Street residence is eligible for listing in the California Register of Historical Resources, the California Historic Resources Inventory, the National Register of Historic Places, and the San Diego Historical Resources Board Register.

CEQA Guidelines

According to CEQA Guidelines §15064.5(a)(3), a lead agency can find a resource historic if the resource has been determined to be significant in the architectural, engineering, scientific, economic, agricultural, educational, social, political, military, or cultural annals of California, provided that the determination is supported by substantial evidence in light of the whole record.

The 4515 Ladera Street residence has not been determined to be significant in the architectural, engineering, scientific, economic, agricultural, educational, social, political, military, or cultural annals of California. The building, therefore, does not qualify as a historic resource under CEQA Guidelines §15064.5(a)(3).

Mitigation Measures

Since the proposed project will cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource, mitigation measures need to be proposed. However, absent the Preservation/Impact Avoidance measure included below, the implementation of any mitigation measure in conjunction with the removal of the 4515 Ladera Street residence will not fully mitigate the project impact to a level below significance.

Preservation/Impact Avoidance

The proposed project involves the removal of the 4515 Ladera Street residence. However, should the project be redesigned to preserve the residence and avoid demolition, this mitigation measure would reduce the project impact to level below significance and would not impair the significance of the resource.

HABS Documentation

The standard mitigation measure imposed when a historical resource is threatened is a Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS) of the property. The ideal HABS documentation project consists of three components: measured drawings, large-format photography and a written historical report. HABS drawings are considered “as-built” drawings. They illustrate the existing condition of the building at the time of

documentation, including additions, alterations, and demolitions that have occurred since the building was first constructed. HABS drawings serve multiple purposes. They provide a simple documentary record of the building, in a standardized format, which can be placed in the local public archives where it is made available to the general public and specialized researchers alike. The drawings can be used as illustrations for publications, for interpretive purposes as historic sites, for facilities management and for mitigation when demolition or substantial alteration of a building is proposed. The appropriate local archives for HABS documentation would include the San Diego History Center archives, the California Room at the San Diego Public Library downtown and the archives maintained by the City of San Diego. CEQA Guidelines recognize that HABS documentation can serve as sufficient mitigation for the demolition of a historical resource. However, they caution that it will not serve as adequate mitigation in all cases. (14 Cal Cod Regs §15126.4(b)(2)) “Such measures will not be sufficient to support a mitigated negative declaration if evidence in the record shows they will not fully mitigate the effect of demolishing a historic building.” Although HABS Documentation should always be used as a mitigation measure, California case law has established that it alone is insufficient to mitigate the adverse effects of demolition on a historical resource. Relocation The proposed project involves the removal of the 4515 Ladera Street residence. However, should the project be redesigned to move the residence to another location in the City of San Diego and avoid demolition, this mitigation measure would not reduce the project impact to level below significance, due to the fact that the architectural significance of the property derives, in part, from a relationship with its original coastal location.

Conclusion

The proposed project involves the removal of the 4515 Ladera Street residence. However, the proposed project will result in a substantial adverse impact upon a historical resource and impair its significance. As such, the project impact cannot be mitigated to a level below significance.

Richard "Dick" Lareau (pronounced Luh-Roh as in Henry David Thoreau) was born in Bremerton, Washington. After his father was stationed at a number of Naval facilities, the Lareau family settled in Chula Vista. Richard graduated from Sweetwater High School as the war ended in 1945.

While still in school, the young Lareau would visit his older brother on the Cal Berkeley campus. To this day he recalls the impression his brother's friend Jack Herman's (Bay Area architect) architectural coursework impressed him. Seeing the renderings of a young Cal architecture student caused Richard to tell his brother how badly he wanted to draw that well. Returning to Chula Vista, Richard's junior high teacher asked the class to design a home -- he took the assignment very seriously and began gathering a sense of what a house design meant to his fellow students (seeing them as clients early on).

After the war, Richard sold bottled water door-to-door for five months before following his father's footsteps in the military. Immediately after his 3.5-year stint with the US Navy's V-5 Flight program (in 1949), Mr. Lareau attended San Diego State College. Under the tutelage of sculptor John Dirks (being particularly influenced in his perspective drawing class) and painter Jean Swiggett, Richard built his GPA and transferred to Cal. In Berkeley Lareau would earn a BA and MA in architecture and would act as president of the campus Architectural Association (as did J. Herbert Brownell years earlier).

Richard Lareau left the San Francisco area returning to San Diego where he felt more opportunity would arise in a city with too few licensed architects. Mr. Lareau started his professional career in the office of Kitchen and Hunt and later for Paderewski. Mitchell and Dean until he opened his own midtown office on 6th Avenue in 1957. Through the late '50s and early '60s, Dick would practice from his small office, including a move northward to another office on 6th Avenue and then onto 5055 Harbor Drive. By 1968 the Lareau office drew up plans for the office at 2845 Nimitz, where he continued to practice for nearly four decades.

Growing to a staff of 15 at its peak, the Lareau office acted as a training ground for a number of the region's architects such as Al Macy, Paul McKim, George Hartley, Bill Richards and Paul Thorke. The offices on Nimitz would also house interior designers and landscape architects like Seifert and Wyckoff. In addition to working with local landscape architects, the Lareau office also engaged local artists James Hubbell, Ira Spector and Mike Madson to integrate their sculptural work into some of the firm's proejcts.

Before building a successful practice, including a concurrent position as Cal Western's (later Point Loma Nazarene) campus architect, the Lareau offices took on a number of residential commissions. Not taking his first Sunday off until two years into self-employment, Lareau worked constantly grabbing any house design he could (including a house for himself) to make a name for himself. Losing the Lareau Residence #1 design to divorce early on , the office began to grow past the early "lean" years. Past the early designs for (his first client he found while still in Paderewski's office) Howard Brubeck (Dave Brubeck's brother) and Jean McCommins (who was a student in Richard's UC Extension Home Design course), the firm specialized in religious structures, commercial buildings, public schools and university work.

With an early respect for Harwell Hamilton Harris (exemplified in the Brubeck Residence), Richard Lareau's design philosophy was built around expressing the structure of a building. Seeing structure as a building's decorative program, Richard's fondness for circular buildings has been profound. From circular churches, Cal Western's Little Theater (his first project for Campus President Rust) to Mission Bay Park Visitor Information Center and the Wycoff Residence (both helixes), he recalled recently "the circle is a beautiful thing."

Rodriguez Cabrillo's landing at Ballast Point on September 28, 1542. An early description of Point Loma states that it was a "ridge 400 feet high and 5 1/2 miles long ... bare of trees, sparsely covered with grass, sagebrush and cactus. Point Loma was originally called "La Punta de California." In 1769, the name was changed to "La Loma de San Diego." Ultimately, this name would change once more to Point Loma.

In 1876, the first Portuguese fishermen anived to fish off the coast of Point Loma and the Portuguese community is still a strong element of life in the community. Once the Portuguese arrived, they found a community of Chinese fishermen already established along the coastline. Abalone was so plentiful that the Chinese had been using it for bait off the Point Loma shores since the 1860s. Tuna fishing and canning became a prominent part of San Diego's economy in the 19th and 20th centuries, and the first fish packing company, the San Diego Packing Company, was built in 1914 in Point Loma.

By the tum of the twentieth century, much of the Point Loma peninsular was under the control of two very different institutions. In 1897, Madame Katherine Tingley established the Theosopical Society of Universal Brotherhood on the site now occupied by Point Loma Nazarene University. The organization operated until 1942 and drew followers from all over the world. The school was supposed to be a temple of living light, lighting up the dark spaces of the earth. The centerpiece of the school was its boarding~school system for children and adults. The primary activities of the organization were heavily oriented toward the arts and cultural programs.

Over the twentieth century, the Point Loma area has slowly grown from empty land with military and cultural institutions located upon it to upscale neighborhoods. Large homes with ocean view, scenic wooded areas on the top of the hill, and a long stretch of beach offer a beautiful residential setting with a view of the city and the bay. The area has been in-filled with a mixture of early twentieth century homes which have been restored, small shops, and luxurious architect designed houses which take advantage of the hillside or beach lots and the stunning views available to home builders.

The Sunset Cliffs community was a subdivision created by Los Angeles real estate developer, John P. Mills, in association with the Pantages, Mills & Shreve Company in 1925. Mills and his wife, Elizabeth, formed the John P. Mills Organization in Long Beach, California in 1922 and came to San Diego with $3 million to invest and develop their own vision of Sunset Cliffs, as well as the neighboring Riviera Villas subdivision and other projects. Upon arrival, Mills acquired 300 acres with a graded street directly associated with Sunset Cliffs Park from Albert "Baseball Al" Spaulding. Mills envisioned developing a "Mediterranean Riviera'' up the hills of Point Loma as a planned community with its own mini-commercial center on Point Loma Avenue. He overlaid this planned community using streets graded by Spaulding in 1915 and capitalized on Sunset Cliffs Park as a destination resort community within San Diego.

Ultimately, the John P. Mills Organization and the Pantages, Mills & Shreve Company marketed the real estate in the Sunset Cliffs and Riviera Villas subdivisions on the west-facing side overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Mills recorded the level land near the park on March I, 1926 and aptly named it "Sunset Cliffs." He and Elizabeth then recorded the Riviera Villas subdivision on July 14, 1926 for the uplands east of Novara Street. Individuals from both companies personally invested in lots and houses and bought from Pantages, Mills & Shreve. Theater magnate, Alexander Pantages was a partner with Elvira Mendenhall in the Pantages Theater Company, Inc., which bought and sold land within Sunset Cliffs and Riviera Villas through the 1930s. The Pantages Theater Company, Inc. was incorporated in 1924 in Los Angeles, and it is believed that they knew the Mills there.

During the late 1920s, the historic landscape for the Sunset Cliffs and Riviera Villas remained wide open spaces interspersed with majestic Spanish Eclectic mansions. Mills maintained strict architectural control and required that all dwellings erected in Sunset Cliffs incorporate Spanish/Mediterranean styles with light colors, stucco facades, and tile roofs. The Pantages, Mills & Shreve Company offered the "most modem conveniences" to patrons that included fine, wide paved streets; electroliers; sewers; sidewalks; curbs; lights; gas and water lines; and a complete transportation system giving rapid service to the center of San Diego.

To lure investors to his paradise, Mills hired special trains to bring individuals from Los Angeles and Orange counties. The Pantages, Mills & Shreve Company blitzed San Diego with newspaper advertisements about the virtues of acquiring lots in the exclusive Sunset Cliffs and Riviera Villas neighborhoods of Point Loma Mills set up large tents at various locations to promote land sales. He hired salesmen and women to work the crowd, while potential purchasers ate free lunches or dinners, listened to lectures on investment opportunities, and then went out to watch airplane aerobatics or ride boats.

Initially, property sales were brisk. Quite a few individuals erected homes in the Sunset Cliffs area, some just for show like John Steven McGroarty, the creator of the famous "Mission Play.'' Homes like the Mills House (1203 Sunset Cliffs Boulevard, identified as the "Cliff Mansion," City of San Diego Landmark #107) built in 1926, the Glen Funcheon/Douglas T. Kelley House ( 4423 Alhambra Street, Landmark #533), designed by Los Angeles architectural designer and builder Glen Funcheon in 1927, and the Joseph and Esten Shreve House (4510 Alhambra Street, Landmark #719), are all excellent examples of homes built in the area during the late 1920s. Unfortunately, Mills' grand scheme was short lived and his generous offers by 1929 to finance 100% of the home building, plus his enormous investment in the area's infrastructure, left him penniless when the Great Depression of 1929 hit. In 1930, he was forced to put up his own home for sale which ultimately sold eight years later. In a 1975 interview, Mills claimed that he left San Diego dead broke in 1930.

The Sunset Cliffs subdivision has been defined as extending from Hill Street and Cordova Drive on the south, Novara Street and Santa Bru.·bara Street on the east, Point Loma Avenue on the north, and Sunset Cliffs Natural Park on the west. Cross streets wrap around the topography to enable automobile traffic to access the planned residential and commercial neighborhood.

Property History

The property on which the 4515 Ladera Street residence is located, Lots 2 and 3 of the Loma Cliffs subdivision, was acquired by Sarah A. Wood and Rose V. Vollmer from Charles C. Crouch in August 1951. Sarah Wood was the mother of Rose Vollmer. Vollmer is known to have owned and developed at least three homes in the Point Loma/Sunset Cliffs area (the subject property, see discussion below; and two other homes to the east on property today owned by Point Loma Nazarene University). In November 1963, Wood and Vollmer deeded the 4515 Ladera Street property to California Western University of San Diego ("California Western"). After California Western merged with United States International University "USIU'\ the property was then conveyed to USIU in August 1967. Several years later in December 1973, the property was acquired by the City of San Diego. The property is today still owned by the City of San.Diego.

Historical research indicates that the 4515 Ladera Street residence was designed by architect Richard John Lareau in 1963 and built by contractor T.A. Bignell for Rose Vollmer in 1964. Review of the Residential Building Record indicates that the residence was constructed in 1965. This date of construction is not accurate. A Notice of Completion filed on the property indicates that the residence was completed by contractor T.A. Bignell for Rose Vollmer in April 1964. The Notice of Completion was recorded at the request of Richard John Lareau & Associates in May 1964. According to a City of San Diego Building Permit Application, Richard John Lareau served as the architect to design a "Residence & Garage" for Rose Vollmer in July 1963. Mr. Lareau has also confirmed in an oral interview that he served as the architect. Review of City of San Diego Water and Sewer Service Orders indicate that water service was provided to the property in September 1963 and sewer service was provided to the property in November 1963, both for owner "Rose Vollmer." The fact that the home was built for Vollmer in 1964 is interesting considering that by November 1963, the property had been deeded to California Western. Over the course of its existence, the 4515 Ladera Street residence was used as a rental property and was occupied during the 1960s and 1970s by faculty and students from California Western. Since 1981, the property has been occupied by Tom and Jennie Minor.

Richard ("Dick") Lareau was born in Bremerton, Washington. While growing up, Lareau's father served in the United States Navy and the family lived in Virginia and New York. Ultimately, the family moved to Coronado and then Chula Vista. At the age of thirteen, Lareau visited his older brother who was attending the University of California at Berkeley. Lareau was impressed with architectural work of his brother's friend, Jack Herman, and returned to Chula Vista with dreams of becoming an architect. While at Chula Vista Junior High School high school, Lareau designed a house as part of a class assignment. He later graduated from Sweetwater High School in 1945.

Upon graduation from high school, Lareau joined the United States Navy and the V-5 Flight program. In 1949, he attended the University of New Mexico, San Diego State University, and received BA and MA degrees in architecture from the University of California at Berkeley in 1954 and 1955, respectfully. While at Berkeley, he served president of the campus Architectural Association. After graduation, Lareau worked in the San Francisco Bay Area for one year practicing architecture at the firm of Kitchen and Hunt, as one of the architects for the Winter Olympics at Squaw Valley (held in 1960).

In the mid-1950s, Lareau returned to San Diego where he worked for Paderewski, Mitchell & Dean until he opened his own firm, Richard John Lareau & Associates in 1957. Lareau's first office was located on Sixth Avenue. Through the late 1950s and early 1960s, he practiced from his small office, until he later moved to another office on Sixth Avenue and then into larger space at 5055 Harbor Drive. By 1968, Lareau drew up office plans for his office located at 2845 Nimitz Boulevard. Lareau still continues to practice architecture at this location today.

Over the course of his career and the past 55 years, Richard John Lareau was responsible for the design of single-family homes, universities and colleges, hospitals and retirement communities, public projects, commercial and industrial buildings, restaurants, military buildings, and State of California - The Resources Agency DEPARTMENT OF PARKS AND RECREATION CONTINUATION SHEET Primary# HRI# Trinomial Page 9 of 12 *Resource Name or# (Assigned by recorder) ------4=51=5--=La=d=e=r=-a-=s=t=re=e::.::.t *Recorded by Scott A.

For a detailed list of the firm's designs see Attachment A. In addition, Lareau received numerous awards and accolades for design excellence, and greatly participated in educational programs and civic service. As a longtime resident of Point Loma, Lareau has taken an active role in Point Loma planning activities and events and has long been associated with Point Loma Nazarene University.

With respect single-family residential design, Lareau designed almost exclusively in the Modem style. According to Mr. Lareau only "very few" examples were not designed in the Modem style. With an early respect for Harwell Hamilton Harris, Lareau's design philosophy was built around expressing the structure of a building. Seeing structure as a building's decorative program, Lareau's fondness for circular buildings has been profound. Homes associated with Lareau are Modem in style and feature flat roofs with wide eave overhangs and projecting beams; natural wall cladding material; and extensive use of glass (wall to ceiling and/or large panes) which take into account the natural setting and/or property views. According to Lareau, residential designs which best express his design philosophy and style, include homes built for Rose Vollmer, John Cranston, Howard Brubeck, Robert McCommins, Jack White, John Struthers (in Julian), Dwight Boehm, Brian Wyckoff, Mike Brown, Jack Bone, Richard Robinson, and John Abbott.

The 4515 Ladera Street residence is located within the Sunset Cliffs Natural Park and the Loma Cliffs subdivision. In a larger context, the residence is located within San Diego's Point Loma community and the Sunset Cliffs neighborhood. The community of Point Loma is one of the oldest in San Diego. This community has been defined as that area between Fort Rosecrans to the south, Nimitz Boulevard to the north, Catalina Boulevard or Sunset Cliffs to the west, and the San Diego Harbor to the east.

Point Loma was originally called "La Punta de California." In 1769, the name was changed to "La Loma de San Diego." Ultimately, this name would change once more to Point Loma.

Point Loma is composed of many neighborhoods, the oldest of which is the La Playa which is located on the eastern shore of the peninsula. This area was once the center for the whaling industry and hide trade, as well as the stopping place for ships during the California Gold Rush. Point Loma was first mapped in 1846. In 1855, a lighthouse was constructed on Point Loma for assistance with shipping activities of the city. In 1891, a modem one replaced the original and it still stands at the present time.

In the 1890s, the United States Anny moved into Point Loma and occupied Fort Rosecrans. The Anny began with the installation of some defensive batteries, and the government built a quarantine station and coaling station at Ballast Point. By 1898, the troops were stationed there on a regular basis. The Anny controlled the defense point until 1959 when the various military properties were transferred to the U.S. Navy. Fort Rosecrans served as a major part of the port defense system for the city of San Diego.
