Adopt a resolution approving Historic Register Categorization No. 2001-21. Irma Hernandez, Assistant Planner, presented the staff report and recommendation. Madame Chair Kings opened the public hearing at 5:55 p.m. and noted receipt of written communication from the First Presbyterian Church requesting not to be placed on the register. Mr. Roger Coulter of the First Presbyterian Church requested a no vote and referred to a ruling from both the U.S. Supreme Court and California Supreme Court that religious organizations are exempt from preservation lists. Madame Chair Kings closed the public hearing at 5:58 p.m. Commissioner Giles offered a motion that the structure be eligible for listing on the Register Categorization Key and should circumvent in the future to recognize with that categorization. Commissioner Giles commented he would like to recognize the structure is eligible for categorization and does not believe it is a conflict with the court's ruling. Mr. Chris Norman agreed but noted the ruling to be constitutional, adding when a church objects to being placed on a preservation list, we have to abide by their wishes. Commissioner Richardson suggested the matter be continued to the next meeting to gain a full understanding of the ruling. Commissioner Giles withdrew his motion.
