Resolution No. 2019-xx <br />Page 5 of 9 <br /> <br />Resources and Cultural Resources which required new mitigation measures. A traffic <br />impact analysis was performed to analyze any potential changes in area traffic as a <br />result of the proposed development. The study concluded that no additional significant <br />impacts would trigger the requirement for additional environmental review. <br /> <br />Assembly Bill 52 (AB 52) requires meaningful consultation with California Native <br />American Tribes on potential impacts on tribal cultural resources (TCRs), as defined in <br />Public Resources Code Section 21074. TCRs are sites, features, places, cultural <br />landscapes, sacred places, and objects with cultural value to a California Native <br />American tribe that are either eligible or listed in the California Register of Historical <br />Resources or local register of historical resources. In order minimize impacts on <br />potential TCRs, the IS/MND outlined mitigation measure TCR 1 requiring consultation of <br />a qualified archaeologist and the local Native American representative, if unanticipated <br />discoveries are made during construction activities. With implementation of mitigation <br />measure TCR 1, potential project impacts on TCRs would be less than significant. <br /> <br />A cultural resources study was also performed to analyze the two existing <br />buildings of the First United Methodist Church of Santa Ana, the Sanctuary and <br />Anderson Court Complex (1964-1966) and the Educational Building (1928-1929) <br />located on the property. The study included systematic field recordation of the existing <br />buildings on the property, historical background research on the buildings, and <br />consultation with local historical organizations. The study determined the Educational <br />Building to be a “historical resource” for CEQA-compliance purposes and determined <br />that it requires proper mitigation of potential impacts from the proposed demolition. In <br />addition, because the Sanctuary and Anderson Court Complex have also reached the <br />commonly recognized 50-year age threshold for potential “historical resources,” and the <br />two buildings are integral parts of the same religious establishment that has occupied <br />this location for more than a century, the Sanctuary and Anderson Complex should also <br />be considered a component of the “historical resource.” <br /> <br />To reduce potential impacts of the proposed demolition to a less than significant <br />level, the IS/MND outlined mitigation measures consistent with the Transit Zoning Code <br />EIR which required “written and photographic recordation of the resource in accordance <br />with the level of Historic American Building Survey (HABS) documentation that is <br />appropriate to the significance (local, state, national) of the resource.” In addition, prior <br />to demolition, the developer will be required to document the buildings to Historic <br />American Building Survey (HABS) -like documentation for the historical resources <br />slated for demolition. The HABS-like package will document in photographs and <br />descriptive and historic narrative the historical resources slated for demolition. <br />Documentation prepared for the package will draw upon primary and secondary source <br />research and available studies previously prepared for the project. Specifically, the <br />specifications for the HABS-like package will include photographs focusing on the <br />historical resources/features slated for demolition, with overview and context <br />photographs for the campus and adjacent setting. In addition, the historian or <br />architectural historian will prepare descriptive and historic narrative of the historical <br />resources/features slated for demolition with physical descriptions detailing each <br />1-14
