Council designates 1101 Main Street as a local landmark; incentive approved
Summary
The council approved Resolution 73 to designate 1101 Main Street (built 1928) as a local landmark and approved a landmark incentive bonus. Staff cited architectural and social significance related to the Giacco and Carranchi families; one public commenter who consulted on the project praised the home's preservation.
City staff recommended, and the council approved, Resolution 73, Series 2026, designating the structure at 1101 Main Street as a local landmark. Senior planner Jess Daniels said the house—constructed in 1928—meets multiple landmark criteria including age, architectural integrity as a representative bungalow form, and social significance through association with the Giacco and Carranchi families. The Historic Preservation Commission had recommended approval and proposed a landmark incentive bonus.
A local resident and consultant, Andy Johnson, spoke in support and noted the home's condition and historical value. Council voted to grant the landmark designation and to approve the recommended incentive bonus. Note: the transcript records several variant spellings/phonetic renderings of the proposed landmark name ("Curranchi," "Courantchee," and "Currency House"); staff presented the formal recommendation to name the structure in the staff report and the council approved naming on the record.
