Whereas, the San Juan Capistrano Historical Society, 31831 Los Rios Street,
San Juan Capistrano, CA 92675, requests approval to amend the City's Inventory of
Historical and Cultural Landmarks (IHCL) to add the Arley Leck House as an individual

Whereas, the Environmental Administrator has reviewed the project pursuant
to Section 15061 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and issued a Class
31 categorical exemption pursuant to Section 15331 of the CEQA Guidelines because the
project involves an action to preserve a historical resource, and has otherwise complied
with all applicable provisions of CEQA; and,

Environmental Administrator's determination pursuant to Section 15062 of CEQA; and,
Whereas, the Cultural Heritage Commission conducted a duly noticed public
meeting on January 24, 2006, pursuant to Section 9-2.339 of the Municipal Code to
consider public testimony on the proposed project.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Cultural Heritage
Commission of the City of San Juan Capistrano does hereby make the following findings:
1. The proposed amendment to the IHCL is consistent with the policies and
objectives of the San Juan Capistrano General Plan, specifically, the Cultural
Resources Element because the project will designate, preserve and protect
a building of historical importance; and,
2. The proposed amendment to the IHCL complies with the City Council Policy
601 definition of a historic resource because the building embodies the
distinctive characteristics of the Craftsman Bungalow architectural style and
was the home of Arley Leck, a significant individual in San Juan Capistrano's
citrus and ranching history. However, the building is not significant as a
contributor to the Los Rios National Register Historic District.
