NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HISTORIC RESOURCES ADVISORY COMMITTEE AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. The HRAC reviewed the Staff Report, the Brandi Report, and the evidence presented by the staff and public at the hearing on February 8, 2024, and finds the Project requires no mitigation measures, as described in the Brandi Report. Section 2. Pursuant to DTPP Sections 2.1.4.C and D, the HRAC hereby finds that the Project has been reviewed by a qualified architect or architectural historian approved by the City and meeting the Secretary of the Interior’s Professional Qualifications Standards published in the Code of Federal Regulations (36 CFR part 61), who has recommended to the HRAC, for all the reasons set forth in detail in the Brandi Report, that the Project will not have an impact on the adjacent historic resources located at 746 Main Street (Diller-Chamberlin Store), 2000 Broadway (Bank of San Mateo County), 2020 Broadway (Fitzpatrick Building), and 800 Main Street (Sequoia Hotel), or the Main Street Historic District and no mitigation measures are required. The adjacent historic resources should retain their status as City Landmarks and District Contributors, and the project will not detrimentally alter, destroy, or adversely affect any exterior architectural feature of the Historic Landmarks, or change the significance of the Historic District. Section 3. Under Section 2.1.4.C, the HRAC hereby finds that the Project will not create a substantial adverse change in the significance of the Historic Main Street District and will protect its continued eligibility for listing on the California Register. Section 4. Under Section 2.1.4.D, the HRAC hereby finds that the proposed project will not cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of the adjacent historic resources across the street located at 746 Main Street (Diller-Chamberlin Store), 2000 Broadway (Bank of San Mateo County), 2020 Broadway (Fitzpatrick Building), and 800 Main Street (Sequoia Hotel) because the project complies with the Secretary of the Interior Standards and does not physically alter, demolish or destroy any portions of the adjacent resource.
