Addendum Historical Resource Inventory and <br />Evaluation Report & Historical Impacts Analysis <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />AECOM <br />11 <br /> <br />A. It exemplifies or reflects special elements of the Citys cultural, aesthetic or <br />architectural history; or <br />B. It is identified with persons or events significant in local, State or national history; or <br />C. It embodies distinctive characteristics of a style, type, period or method of <br />construction, or is a valuable example of the use of indigenous materials or <br />craftsmanship; or <br />D. It is representative of the notable work of a builder, designer or architect. <br />5.2 Evaluation <br />1304 El Camino Real <br />The building at 1304 El Camino Real was most recently used as an auto repair shop; does not <br />appear to be associated with significant events or trends in local, state, or national history; nor <br />does it exemplify or reflect special elements of the City’s cultural, aesthetic, or architectural <br />history (CRHR Criterion 1/Redwood City Criterion A). It appears to have been developed and <br />continuously used as one of many auto-related businesses in Redwood City, and none of the <br />known owners or occupants associated with the development and use of the property were <br />identified as making significant contributions to the city, state, or nation (CRHR Criterion <br />2/Redwood City Criterion B). The building was one of at least eleven 4-Wheel Brake stores in <br />the Bay Area started by company president Elmer Skinner. Although Skinner was a successful <br />business owner and an active member of education boards in San Francisco, this building is not <br />representative of Skinner’s productive life, nor does his business rise to the threshold of local, <br />state, or national significance. <br /> <br />The 1956 building is not sufficiently architecturally distinctive for eligibility under CRHR <br />Criterion 3/Redwood City Criterion C/Redwood City Criterion D as representative of the notable <br />work of a builder, designer, or architect. The concrete-block building is utilitarian in style, and the <br />glulam material used to construct the roof was commonly used in the post-World War II period. <br />Additionally, the property did not yield, and is not likely to yield, important historical information <br />about the past to enable eligibility under CRHR Criterion 4. Therefore, the property at 1304 El <br />Camino Real is not recommended as eligible for listing in the CRHR or Redwood City historic <br />resource inventory, and is not a historical resource for CEQA purposes. <br /> <br />The building at 1304 El Camino Real appears to retain integrity of location, design, setting, <br />material, workmanship, feeling, and association as a 1956-built auto-related business along <br />El Camino Real in Redwood City; however, it does not meet any of the significance criteria <br />(criterion 1 through 4 listed above), and is not a historic resource under CEQA. <br />6. Historical Resource Impacts Analysis <br />The following historical resource impacts analysis is to assess the potential impacts of the <br />project on the City-designated historical resource at 1322 El Camino Real. See Figure 4 and <br />Figure 5 for the renderings of the project at 1304 El Camino Real.
