Section 4.0 – Environmental Setting and Discussion of Impacts <br /> <br /> <br />City of Redwood City 35 Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration <br />Sandpiper Elementary School Facilities Expansion November 2016 <br />4.5 CULTURAL RESOURCES <br /> <br />4.5.1 Existing Setting <br /> <br />4.5.1.1 Applicable Plans, Policies, and Regulations <br /> <br />California Public Resources Code <br /> <br />California Public Resources Code, Sections 21083.2 and 21084.1 define archaeological and historical <br />resources, respectively. These include resources listed on or eligible for the California Register of <br />Historical Resources (CRHR) or the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) and those <br />resources listed on a local register. Public Resources Code, Sections 5020.1 through 5024.6 <br />(effective 1992) create the CRHR and set forth requirements for protection of historic cultural <br />resources. In order for a structure to be listed as a historic resource on the CRHR or the NRHP, the <br />structure must be at least 50 years old. <br /> <br />City of Redwood City Municipal Code <br /> <br />Chapter 40 of the City of Redwood City Municipal Code defines what qualifies as an historic and/or <br />cultural resource within the City, and the measures in place to preserve these resources. There are <br />four different types of historic resources identified in the code; historic districts, historic landmarks, <br />historic or cultural resources, and historic sites. <br /> <br />4.5.1.2 Archaeological and Historic Resources <br /> <br />The project site was developed in the 1990s. Prior to development, the project site was undeveloped <br />land that was reclaimed from the San Francisco Bay (i.e., landfill). The structures on the project site <br />are less than 30 years old and, therefore, are not eligible for listing on the CRHR or the NRHP. The <br />project site and structures on the site are not designated a historic resource by the City. <br /> <br />4.5.2 Environmental Checklist <br /> <br /> <br />CULTURAL RESOURCES <br /> Potentially <br />Significant <br />Impact <br />Less Than <br />Significant <br />With <br />Mitigation <br />Incorporated <br />Less Than <br />Significant <br />Impact <br />No Impact Beneficial <br />Impact <br />Information <br />Source(s) <br />Would the project: <br />1) Cause a substantial adverse change <br />in the significance of an historical <br />resource as defined in §15064.5? <br /> 1 <br />2) Cause a substantial adverse change <br />in the significance of an <br />archaeological resource as defined in <br />§15064.5? <br /> 1 <br />7.A. - Page 66
