12/16/2019 MM CUL -1.1: Prior to issuance of any demolition or grading permits, the City shall document the senior center. The documentation shall be in the form of a Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS) Level II and shall comply with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Architectural and Engineering Documentation. The documentation shall include drawings, photographs and a narrative overview: • Drawings: Existing historic drawings of the senior center, if available, shall be photographed with large -format negatives or photographically reproduced on Mylar. • Photographs: Photo -documentation of the exterior of the senior center shall be prepared to HABS standards for archival photography. Key views of the building's interior should also be included in the photo- documentation. • Historical Overview: A detailed narrative description of the building and its history shall be prepared. It is anticipated that much of this information will be drawn from the Historic Resource Report that Diana Painter completed for the VMSC in 2010. The documentation shall be completed by a historian or architectural historian meeting the Secretary of the Interior's Professional Qualification Standards for History and/or Architectural History. To ensure its public accessibility, the completed documentation shall be filed with the Redwood City Public Library for inclusion in their local history collection, as well as with the San Mateo County History Museum. In addition, the City shall consult with the local historical societies regarding salvage of materials from the VMSC building for public information (such as in the interpretive display described below in mitigation measure MM CUL - 1.2) or reuse in other locations. This consultation shall focus on identifying building features or elements that are (1) related to the character -defining features and (2) can feasibly be removed from the building. MM CUL -1.2: The City shall be responsible for the production and placement of an interpretive display in the new VMSC/YMCA facility that describes the history and significance of the senior center, using photographs and drawings in addition to narrative text. The display shall be placed in a prominent space within the new building. Recreation Impact REC-2: The project would include recreational facilities or require the construction or expansion of recreational facilities, which may have an adverse physical effect on the environment. Finding: The implementation of the mitigation measures MM CUL -1.1 and MM CUL -1.2 would reduce the project's significant impact a historic resource from the construction of a recreational facility, but not to a less than significant level. (Significant and Unavoidable Impact with Mitigation Incorporated). Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the project, which attempt to avoid or substantially lessen the significant environmental effects identified in the EIR. (State CEQA Guidelines, section 15091(a) (1).) However, impacts would still remain significant and unavoidable. Specific economic, legal, social, technological, or other considerations, as identified in the EIR and elsewhere in the record, make infeasible the mitigation measure or project alternatives identified in the EIR.
