to consider a Historic Designation request for designation of the David S. Bell
House as a City Landmark. This property is located at 4428 Houghton Avenue, near

determine that this proposal is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA), pursuant to Sections 15061(b)(3) (Common Sense Rule) and 15308
(Actions by Regulatory Agencies for Protection of the Environment), as this
proposal will not have a significant effect on the environment and will preserve the
historic character of a cultural resource and provide notice of the resource historic
status. Contact Planner: Scott Watson, Historic Preservation Officer, (951)
