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