Addendum Historical Resource Inventory and Evaluation Report & Historical Impacts Analysis AECOM 5 1. Project Description 1 South Main Mixed Use The entire project site is located in the City of Redwood City at the periphery of the City’s Downtown core, and is composed of five contiguous blocks (Parcels A through E) and one separate block (Parcel F). Parcel F, which was added to the project as a non-contiguous site in early 2019, is approximately 1,000 feet northwest of Parcels A through F at the southwestern corner of El Camino Real and Jackson Avenue. Parcel F is made up of one existing parcel, totaling 0.15 acre and occupying the northeastern corner parcel of the block at 1304 El Camino Real. The site is bounded by El Camino Real to the east, Jackson Avenue to the north, and existing development to the west and south. The site is occupied by a former auto repair building that covers the majority of the site. 1304 El Camino Real The applicant would also develop 39 residential units on the separate Parcel F site at 1304 El Camino Real. The project would construct a six-story, 66–foot-high building fronting El Camino Real and Jackson Avenue, as shown in Figures 4 and 5. The main entrance to the building would be along El Camino Real Boulevard. A main lobby and a community room would be on the first floor. The parking lot would be accessible via Jackson Avenue, and the bike storage area would be accessible via the podium parking lot. The proposed building would occupy the entirety of the project lot. Parcel F is currently surrounded by commercial and residential uses, typically 1-story buildings, with a recently completed seven-story residential development directly across El Camino Real at 1305 El Camino Real. The building at 1322 El Camino Real is approximately 60 feet southeast of the existing and proposed new building at 1304 El Camino Real, and is physically separated by a surface parking lot. 2. Background Research, Fieldwork & Methodology 2.1 Background Research AECOM cultural resources staff examined standard sources of information that list and identify known and potential historical resources to determine whether any buildings, structures, objects, districts, or sites had been previously recorded or evaluated in or near the project site. AECOM reviewed the National Register of Historic Properties (NRHP), CRHR, California Historical Landmarks, and California Points of Historical Interest.2 AECOM also consulted the Redwood City Historical Resources Inventory that is updated on an ongoing basis, the Redwood City Historical Landmark list, and various years of the city Certified Local Government Annual Reports. The building at 1322 El Camino Real (The Record Man), just south of 1304 El Camino Real, is a City-designated historical resource. A set of 2010 Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) 523 forms prepared by consultant CIRCA that found the resource eligible as an historical 1 This project description has been adapted from the Draft Initial Study South Main Mixed-Use Project prepared for the City of Redwood City by AECOM in May 2019. 2 National Park Service, National Register Information System GIS Map, available at https://www.nps.gov/maps/full.html?mapId=7ad17cc9-b808-4ff8-a2f9-a99909164466 (accessed December 2018); Office of Historic Preservation, California Historical Landmarks (Sacramento, CA: California State Parks, 1996); and Office of Historic Preservation, California Points of Historical Interest (Sacramento, CA: California State Parks, May 1992).
