Legal foundation and purpose of designation

The designation of historic resources in City of San Luis Obispo is the responsibility of the city's Cultural Heritage Committee (CHC), a group with seven members appointed by the City Council. The CHC is broadly responsible for researching, identifying, and protecting historic buildings, archaeological sites and cultural features. Under the City's Historic Preservation Ordinance, historic resources must exhibit "a high level of historic integrity," be at least 50 years old, and satisfy specified architectural or historic criteria, including associations with a notable architect, architectural design or style, historic person, historic event, or physical integrity. In 2013, the City also published a Citywide Historic Context Statement which places the City's historic resources "in the appropriate historic, social, and architectural context" in order to establish "the relationship between an area’s physical environment and its broader history." The Historic Context Statement is available on the City's website. The City has also published "Historic Preservation Program Guidelines" which are also available on the City's website.
