HRD No. 2012 -01 <br />January 24, 2013 <br />Page 2 <br />Analysis of the Issues <br />Whenever an application to demolish a historic property is filed, Section 30.7 requires the HRC to <br />Investigate all feasible alternatives to demolition, which include; but are not limited to: <br />1) Seeking private citizens, local trusts, and other financial sources who may be willing to purchase <br />the structure for relocation or restoration; <br />2) Publicizing the availability of the structure for purchase for restoration or relocation purposes; <br />3) Exploring possible sites for relocation of the historic building if on -site preservation is not possible, <br />and, <br />4) Suggesting to the City Council that the city purchase the structure when private preservation or <br />relocation is not feasible. <br />The following provides a summary of the actions taken to date as a result of the HRC's direction and <br />helpful suggestions from the community. <br />The Intent of Section 30 -7(1) is to find alternate funding sources in an attempt to preserve the <br />Sexlinger Farmhouse and Orchard site. As a result, upon receipt of the Intent to demolish the <br />structure and with the input of the Ad Hoc Committee and community input, staff identified <br />numerous organizations and funding sources that may be willing to purchase the structure for <br />restoration or relocation. After reviewing the requirements of these organizations, which are <br />identified in the table below, they were found to be either unable to provide funding for the relocation <br />or restoration of the Sexlinger site or the site was ineligible per their standards. <br />Resource Funding <br />Certified Local Government _ <br />Outcorne <br />Does not fund rehabilitation or ac uisition of property <br />National Trust for Historic Preservation <br />Does not fund rehabilitation or acquisition <br />of p ro ert <br />Save America's Treasures <br />Program currently unfunded <br />Preserve America _ <br />,Prograrn currently unfunded <br />California Cultural & Historic Endowment <br />No funds currently available <br />National Center for Preservation Technology <br />& Training <br />Does not fund rehabilitation or acquisition of property <br />California Humanities __. <br />Does not fund rehabilitation or acquisition ofproperty„ <br />The Getty Foundation <br />Does not fund rehabilitation or acquisition of property <br />California Preservation Foundation <br />Does not fund rehabilitation or acquisition ofproperty <br />California Grant Watch <br />I Subscription only <br />75A -38 <br />
