This will be a phased project. Phase I to include a new 555 SF building with restrooms, utility room,and a caterer room. Phase I to begin immediately. Phase II will include the conversion of an existing storage building into a community assembly building. This building is a historical building on the National Register. It is a two-story building where the ground floor is 2546 SF and the second floor is 391 SF. This building was originally used for community assembly as documented in the National Register of Historic Places. It was used as an armory by the Mokelumne Light Brigade during the Civil War, and later used as a meeting hall by The Sons of Temperance and also by the Congregationalist Church. Refer to National Register#72000252 (attached) and also the National Register of Historic Places Inventory—Nomination Form(attached) (see pages 2 and 5). This project will preserve a historic resource in San Joaquin County by maintaining and improving a structure(storage building)that has historical significance to the community. The project will include modifications made to the structure that are consistent with the historic character to be preserved or enhanced. This project will also enrich the educational,cultural, and aesthetic interests of the County through the preservation of the county's historical resources. This property is currently zoned AG-40 and we are requesting a Use Permit for community assembly. San Joaquin County code section 9-1053.2 indicates that the Historic Resource Preservation Chapter"shall apply to all zones in San Joaquin County." This project meets the requirements of code section 9-1053.5(a)(1)-(3)by providing evidence that the proposed change in use is consistent with the intent of the Historic Resource Preservation Chapter; providing a list of alterations required for the change in use; and providing a site plan. This project also meets the requirements of code section 9- 1053.5(b)(1) by providing evidence of registration with the National Register of Historic Places.Additionally, this project meets the requirements of code section 9-1053.5(b)(2) by proposing a use that does not detract from,or otherwise impair,the structure as a historical resource but instead will complement, enhance, and be compatible with the historical resource. This project will, in fact, restore the original builder's intent to use the structure for community assembly.
