Demolition of Existing House The Downtown Specific Plan (DTSP)has a policy that states: Require the completion of the State of California Department of Parks and Recreation Survey Form-523 to develop and document a statement of historic significance prior to the issuance of demolition permits for any historic resource older than 50 years. Evaluate these properties using the State of California criteria for the California Register of Historic Resources. The DTSP also has the following policy: Prohibit the demolition of any building found to be historically significant with regard to the California Register criteria unless such building is determined by the Chief Building Official to be unsafe or dangerous, and if no other reasonable means of rehabilitation or relocation can be achieved. Form 523 Findings: Evaluation of Historic Significance :*Recorded by Matthew Davis, ARG*Date July 16,2010 X Continuation Update The house at 4189 Stanley Boulevard does not appear to be individually eligible for listing in the California Register of Historic Resources (CRHR)or the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). The house does not appear to qualify for listing under NRHP/CRHR Criterion A/1. While the residence's association with the early 19OOs development of Pleasanton is notable, this "event"does not reach the level of significance to be individually eligible for the National or California Registers. Research failed to reveal any historically significant event, or pattern of events, directly associated with the building at the local,state, regional, or national level Nor does the house at 4189 Stanley Boulevard appear to qualify for listing under NRHP/CRHR Criterion B/2. The house does not appear to have been directly associated with any important persons in local,state, regional, or national history. No associated individuals of significance were found during historical research. While the Regalia and Molinaro families each lived in the house for a significant number of years, individual members of these families do not appear to be significant historical figures in local, state, or national history. Similarly, the house at 4189 Stanley Boulevard does not appear to qualify for listing under NRHP/CRHR Criterion C/3. The house does not possess high artistic values, nor does it embody the characteristics of a distinctive type,period, or method of construction, or represent the work of a master architect or builder.Although 4189 Stanley Boulevard can be considered a Craftsman bungalow house, it is not a particularly representative or distinctive example of that style. Finally, NRHP/CRHR Criterion A/4 is generally applied to archeological resources and evaluation of the residence at 4189 Stanley Boulevard for eligibility under this criterion was beyond the scope of this evaluation. Nor does the house at 4189 Stanley Boulevard appear eligible for listing in the CRHR or NRHP as a contributor to a historic district. While a few other early-twentieth-century houses remain along Stanley Boulevard, they are interspersed among sections of residential development of considerably more recent vintage, and they are too widely dispersed to constitute a historic district. Indeed, the houses at 4189 and 4151 appear to be the only houses on the north side of that portion of Stanley Boulevard that remain from the first half of the twentieth century. Because the building does not appear to satisfy any of the NRHP/CRHR significance criteria, ARG has assigned the house at 4189 Stanley Boulevard a California Historical Resource Status
