Got it. Of course. Your report says integrity quote is not a criterion and quote should not be a factor. But your criterion two and four analysis rests on poor condition and quote lack of overall integrity. Can you help me like understand your reasoning there for why you included that in your analysis?
You are able to as the landmarks Commission could have Those that denial did not rest on those clause those those were additional clauses in the statement of official action, okay Your report also agrees that the airplane bungalow quote has always been a rare substance subtype and then criterion for the landmark covers quote a rare example of an architectural design detail or historical type so I guess I'm trying to square, why doesn't the rarity you mention in your report meet criterion four?
Yes. The other one being 315 10th Street, correct?
Okay, thanks. And the last question I have for staff is, can you confirm that the city declared a quote black apology on November 15th, 2022, which found the city's first zoning ordinance established in 1922 was used to close the black owned jazz club in the Belmar Triangle. So the section I'm specifically referencing is In 1922, Santa Monica created its first zoning ordinance and rushed its adoption before it could be completed for the purpose of denying building permits to a group of wealthy African Americans who wished to establish a bathhouse on a Santa Monica beach and further weaponize…
I looked it up today. So I'd like that statement to be made part of tonight's record. And that is all the questions I have for staff.
Thank you, Mayor, and thank you, Nina and Mario, for your presentation. Can you just walk us through Anna Unfried's relationship to the 1922 zoning ordinance and her response to that, how it affected her business?
Okay. And your nomination says this house is the only surviving unfreed structure, yet the nomination didn't claim Criterion 3. I'm just curious, like, why was that?
Oh, okay. Got it. And I just want to make sure I understood you correctly. When you purchased the property, you did not receive any notification that it was on our historical resources inventory?
I worry that your realtor failed you here. And I'm curious if we can have staff look into outreach to our local real estate agents, make sure that they're aware of this requirement. That's all the questions I have for you. Thank you. Thank you.
Not quoted here: it may name a member of the public. Hear it at the meeting.
parcel that it sits on you can also be clear that it does not include the rear structure of the property okay so thank you I move that we grant the appeal under criterion one two and four and what else was I supposed to say I I think and the planning manager can help too but I think and designate the the parcel which is basically the APN
It's just the structure, the front structure, not including the back structures.
Thank You mayor if we could have the representatives from the Filipino Workers Center and Anyone from the coalition of Asian Pacific employees of Santa Monica. I want to come up and stand at the rostrum here So Every October communities across our country celebrate Filipino American History Month and tonight Santa Monica is proud to join them I think for the second time in our history. We're recognizing this and This month marks October 18th, 1587, when Filipino sailors aboard a Spanish galleon came ashore at what is now Morrow Bay, California. It's the first recorded presence of Filipinos in…
I'd like to move the remainder of the consent calendar.
Did you want to for him for I'm on the raft tells country yes, if if stuff you just a brief staff report on it, I'm curious to learn more about this. Thank you.
Not quoted here: it may name a member of the public. Hear it at the meeting.
Councilmember Hall Yeah, I just have a quick question for planning staff for the city attorney isn't what Mayor Terose is adding as a Part of her substitute amendment isn't that the work that we're about to begin with the alternative TOD zone So I guess I'm a little confused as to why Like wouldn't that distract from the alternative TOD? It's the same thing
Okay. And City Attorney, do you have any concerns that that, if we were to do that, would put us out of compliance with state housing law and risk things like the builder's remedy or litigation?
Yeah, I think we're muddying the waters here. I think we need to be very clear that we're proceeding with the ordinance that's put in front of us tonight, and that we're adding additional direction to explore those things. And I hope that what we're saying on the dais tonight does not lead to our residents believing that there may be an out to what is currently before us, because I think we've heard time and time again, unless the city attorney wishes to share additional information that the whole dais is not privy of, I think she's made it pretty clear that this would be like very…
New speaker thank you, mayor, and thank you, Ms. call, for the presentation. Your office, fire, police, all of your work on preparing this after action review as well as the consulting team that supported it. As one of the makers of the motion that asked for this, I'm really glad it was done and done right and it's really nice to see the progress that has been made to date on all the recommendations. I do have my own mea culpa to make and admit my own screw-up during the fires like it was me that put out the bad information about fire breaking into our jurisdiction. We were all acting on…
Okay, great, there. Yes. So I move that we pull 16A for voting, continue 16B until we get a qualified applicant, pull 16E for voting, and then move 16C and 16D.
That passes. Okay. Mayor, I'd like to explain my no vote. My vote no is not because I don't support the festival or its intended beneficiaries. I would just rather see our council discretionary funds go directly to support nonprofits helping send school teams and bands on trips and supporting cultural programming. Thank you.
