03/27/2007 historic resources identified in EIR Table 8.1 (Historic and Potential Historic Resource List), or (b) the significance of the existing Redwood City Main Street District. Under the current (2006) CEQA Guidelines (section 15064.5(b)(1)), a substantial adverse change includes demolition, destruction, relocation, or alteration of one or more resources, such that the resource and/or the historic district in which it is located is "materially impaired." The significance of a historic resource is considered to be "materially impaired" when a project demolishes or materially alters the physical characteristics that justify the determination of a historic resource's significance (CEQA Guidelines section 15064.5[b]). Such an adverse change to aCEQA-defined historic resource would constitute a significant impact (see criteria 1, 2, and 4 in subsection 8.3.1, "Significance Criteria," above). Mitigation 8-2: Mitigation Measure 8-2 as described in the EIR p. 8-23 is hereby adopted and shall be implemented as provided by the Mitigation Monitoring Program. Generally, for any future discretionary action within the Precise Plan area that the City determines, through the CEQA-required Initial Study review process, may cause a "substantial adverse change" in one or more of the resources identified in the Historic or Potential Historic Resources List (Table 8.1), the City shall require project compliance with CEQA requirements applicable at that time. For projects identified in Table 8.1 as a "Historic Resource Under CEQA", the City shall prepare either an EIR or Mitigated Negative Declaration that includes mitigation for the potential change. Under the CEQA Guidelines (section 15064.5(b)(3)), generally, an individual project's adverse impacts on a historic resource can be mitigated to aless-than-significnat level through applicant compliance with either of the following standards: ^ Secretary of Interior's Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties with Guidelines for Preserving, Rehabilitating, Restoring, and Reconstructing Historic Buildings; or ^ Secretary of Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation and Guidelines for Rehabilitating Historic Buildings. Findings: The identified historical resources mitigation measure is feasible and would reduce potential destruction or degradation of historical resources from new development to a level which would not be environmentally significant. Successful incorporation of either of these standards would therefore reduce the potential impact to aless-than-significant level. In the event there is demolition of a historic resource or the significance of the resource would be "materially impaired", and the Secretary of the Interior's standards identified above cannot be incorporated, the City shall require the applicant to implement one or more of the following four mitigation measures: (1) documentation, (2) relocation, (3) salvage, or (4) commemoration. If the City determines in the Initial Study that the impact is fully mitigated, then the impact would be deemed less than significant and the action may proceed based upon a Atty/Reso/Reso.1683 3 14769 030707 Muff #613
