Mitigation Measures for the Removal of 103 Wilson Street The project proposes to remove 103 Wilson Street. This resource is rated NR 551 : (separately listed or designated under an existing local ordinance, or is eligible for such listing or designation) and Type "D" Protection (page 178 of the Downtown Precise Plan). This is the lowest level of protection. Removal of 103 Wilson is an adverse effect on this historic resource, but the Downtown Precise Plan allows for its removal subject to the specific Guidelines: "If this structure is to be removed, an attempt should be made to relocate it. The property should be offered for sale for $ 1 for a period of at least 90 days." (page 44 of the Downtown Precise Plan) Also, the Downtown Precise Plan describes additional mitigations that should be undertaken, "as applicable and to the extent feasible," in section 2. 1 .4, "Additional Impact Mitigation Measures for Historic Resources," section B, "Mitigation of Impacts of Development on Properties that Contain Historic Resources which May Be Altered, Relocated, or Removed" (page 45). The relevant measures are as follows: c. Document the historic resource before any changes that would cause a loss of integrity and loss of continued eligibility. The documentation shall adhere to the Secretary of the Interior' s Standards for Architectural and Engineering Documentation. The level of documentation shall be proportionate with the level of significance of the resource. [emphasis added] The documentation shall be made available for inclusion in the Historic American Building Survey (HABS) or the Historic American Engineering Record (HAER) Collections in the Library of Congress, the California Historical Resources Information System and the Bancroft Library, as well as local libraries and historical societies, such as the Redwood City Public Library. e. Through careful methods of planned deconstruction to avoid damage and loss, salvage character-defining features and materials for educational and interpretive use on-site, or for reuse in new construction on the site in a way that commemorates their original use and significance. f. Interpret the historical significance of the resource through a permanent exhibit or program in a publicly accessible location on the site or elsewhere within the DPP area. 4 ATTY/RESO.3005/HRAC — 103 WILSON STREET AKA GREYSTAR Page 6 of 8 REV: 08-08-14 VR
