Addendum Historical Resource Inventory and <br />Evaluation Report & Historical Impacts Analysis <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />AECOM <br />14 <br /> <br />6.1 CEQA Impacts Criteria <br />15064.5. Determining the Significance of Impacts to Archeological and Historical <br />Resources <br />(b) A project with an effect that may cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of <br />an historical resource is a project that may have a significant effect on the environment. <br />(1) Substantial adverse change in the significance of an historical resource means <br />physical demolition, destruction, relocation, or alteration of the resource or its immediate <br />surroundings such that the significance of an historical resource would be materially <br />impaired. <br />(2) The significance of an historical resource is materially impaired when a project: <br />(A) Demolishes or materially alters in an adverse manner those physical <br />characteristics of an historical resource that convey its historical significance and <br />that justify its inclusion in, or eligibility for, inclusion in the California Register of <br />Historical Resources; or <br />(B) Demolishes or materially alters in an adverse manner those physical <br />characteristics that account for its inclusion in a local register of historical <br />resources pursuant to section 5020.1(k) of the Public Resources Code or its <br />identification in an historical resources survey meeting the requirements of <br />section 5024.1(g) of the Public Resources Code, unless the public agency <br />reviewing the effects of the project establishes by a preponderance of evidence <br />that the resource is not historically or culturally significant; or <br />(C) Demolishes or materially alters in an adverse manner those physical <br />characteristics of a historical resource that convey its historical significance and <br />that justify its eligibility for inclusion in the California Register of Historical <br />Resources as determined by a lead agency for purposes of CEQA. <br />6.2 City of Redwood City Impacts Criteria <br />According to the Downtown Precise Plan (City of Redwood City, 2010): <br />Each proposed development adjacent to a historic resource that requires a discretionary <br />approval shall be reviewed by a qualified architect or architectural historian approved by <br />the City and meeting the Secretary of the Interior’s Professional Qualifications Standards <br />(36 Code of Federal Regulations part 6) and by the City’s Historic Resources Advisory <br />Committee for its potential impacts on the adjacent historic resource, and any site and <br />architectural design modifications identified through this review process as necessary to <br />avoid a “substantial adverse change” in the significance of the adjacent historic resource <br />and protect its continued eligibility for listing on the California Register, as determined by <br />the City, shall be required as conditions of project approval (Section 2.1.4. D). <br />6.2.1 1322 El Camino Real (The Record Man) <br />The building at 1322 El Camino Real, known as The Record Man, was evaluated in 2010 by <br />consultants CIRCA, and found eligible as a Redwood City historical resource for “architectural <br />merit and association with early 20th century commercial development in Redwood City.” Its <br />architectural merit was for “…an interesting representation of an Art Deco/Art Moderne–style <br />commercial building…and for retaining notable stylistic details such as the ribbed bending at the <br />parapet and square window bays, the stylized shield element at the side elevation, and smooth
