CEQA Categorical Exemption Determination

Proposed rendering (not used)

The subject building has not been found to be eligible for individual listing in the California Register of Historical Resources under Criterion 1 (events), 2 (persons), 3 (architecture), or 4 (information potential).

According to the information provided in the HRE, the subject property was one of the earliest built structures on this portion of Lake Street (built 1904) however this date is consistent with the general building pattern of the Richmond District and therefore is not found to be sufficiently important to be significant under Criterion 1.

No person associated with the building is significant to history and therefore the property does not appear significant under Criterion 2. Architecturally, the building is a vernacular style, and although it features a distinct decorative sunburst set within a steep gable, these elements are not noteworthy enough to be considered significant under Criterion 3.

Furthermore the building it is not associated with a master builder or architect and therefore is not significant under Criterion 3. The building does not embody a rare construction type and therefore is not significant under Criterion 4 as it relates to buildings and structures. (The potential archaeological significance of the site, as opposed to the building, is not addressed in this document.)

Proposed rendering

The subject building does not appear to be located in a potential historic district. The building stock on this portion of Lake Street includes a wide range of residential building styles and types that date from 1904 to 1956. 2147 Lake Street and the neighboring building on the south side of Lake Street do not possess sufficient architectural or historical significance or cohesion to identify as a historic district.

The buildings on the north side of Lake Street are part of the West Clay Park subdivision and possess greater scale and refined architectural styles than found adjacent to 2147 Lake Street. The subject property is not located adjacent to any known historic resources (Category A properties).
