Assessment of Potential Adverse Change According to the Downtown Precise Plan(section 2.1.4. D.): Each proposed development adjacent to a historic resource that requires a discretionary approval shall be reviewed by a qualified architect or architectural historian approved by the City and meeting the Secretary of the Interior's Professional Qualifications Standards (36 CFR part 6) and by the City's Historic Resources Advisory Committee for its potential impacts on the adjacent historic resource, and any site and architectural design modifications identified through this review process as necessary to avoid a "substantial adverse change"in the significance of the adjacent historic resource and protect its continued eligibility for listing on the California Register, as determined by the City, shall be required as conditions of project approval. A substantial adverse change in the significance of an historical resource means physical demolition, destruction, relocation, or alteration of the resource or its immediate surroundings such that the significance of an historical resource would be materially impaired.' The significance of an historical resource is materially impaired when a project demolishes or materially alters in an adverse manner those physical characteristics of an historical resource that convey its historical significance and that justify its inclusion in, or eligibility for,inclusion in the California Register of Historical Resources.2 Eligibility for listing on the California Register of Historical Resources has a three-part test: a resource must meet one of four criteria for historic significance; must generally be more than 50 years old; and must retain its historic integrity. The California Register of Historical Resources (CRHR) evaluates a resource's historic significance based on the following four criteria: Criterion 1 (Event): Resources associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of local or regional history, or the cultural heritage of California or the United States. Criterion 2 (Person): Resources associated with the lives of persons important to local, California, or national history. Criterion 3 (Design/Construction): Resources that embody the distinctive characteristics of a type,period,region, or method of construction, or that represent the work of a master or possess high artistic values. 8 ATTYIRESO.30481HRAC RESO RECOMMENDING 601 MARSHALL STREET EXHIBIT A REV:01-16-15 VR
