n Post Office update: The La Jolla Historical Society (LJHS) asked the city’s Historical Resources Board (HRB) for a 60-day continuance before deciding whether to grant a historic designation to La Jolla’s Wall Street post office (which the U.S. Postal Service intends to sell in the
near future). During its April 25 meeting, the HRB instead granted a 30-day continuance. LJHS executive director Heath Fox told board members the continuance was needed for the LJHS’s Save Our La Jolla Post Office Task Force to clarify details of the designation, which he said relate to potential adverse effects resulting from the USPS’s recent notice of intent to sell the post office building and relocate its services. “A sale of our post office would require an environmental impact report, which would include the impact of a loss of historic use,” Fox said. USPS’s Diana Alvarado told the La Jolla Light this week that the post office building at 1140 Wall Street is not yet on the market, and that USPS has not

A ‘no trespassing’ sign was posted on this WindanSea cottage following the city’s decision to order an expedited coastal development permit to demolish the arguably historic structure. Donna Blackmond found a rental site in or near the Village in which to relocate services. USPS is analyzing appeals filed in response to its notice of sale and relocation. n Historical Review Board: During the public comment section of the April HRB meeting, the La Jolla Historical Society again requested that the board review new findings on two Tudor Revival-style cottages in WindanSea that are slated for demolition. Last month, the city’s Development Services Department issued an expedited coastal development permit to demolish the cottages at 337 and 341 Playa del Sur. The La Jolla Community Planning Association (LJCPA) will decide whether to appeal the permit during its monthly meeting today

preservation. The report, requested by state Senator Ben Hueso (D40), found, in part: DSD did not collect sufficient information to ensure reviews of project sites potentially possessing historical resources; DSD applications had incomplete information on historical resources; DSD did not consistently adhere to municipal code when approving construction changes; DSD did not ensure the public receives mandatory notices of environmental determinations on projects; and on projects subject to CEQA review, DSD often filed a Notice of Determination 12-90 business days late.

n Lifeguard tower update: The LJCPA will also receive a presentation on final designs for the replacement lifeguard tower at Children’s Pool beach (scheduled to break ground next month), and take action on the planned, 24-hour closure of Children’s Pool beach during the seals’ winter pupping season (See story, Page A1). n Preservationists vindicated: Last month, the office of the State Auditor issued a scathing assessment of the San Diego Development Services Department’s (DSD) track record on historic
