Historical Resources Evaluation Report June 2019 Fairview Street Improvements and Bridge Replacement Project II. RESEARCH METHODS RECORDS SEARCH On March 5, 2018, a records search was conducted of the California Historical Resources Information System (CHRIS) at the South Central Coastal Information Center (SCCIC) located at California State University, Fullerton. The records search included a review of all recorded historic and prehistoric sites within a one -mile radius of the APE, as well as a review of known cultural resources survey, excavation, and other studies. In addition, the following inventories were examined: National Register of Historic Places (National Register), California Register of Historical Resources (California Register), California Historical Landmarks, California Points of Historical Interest, and the California Historic Resources Inventory. The records search identified a total of eight cultural resource studies that included portions of the APE and an additional 31 studies that were conducted within one mile of the APE. Prior cultural resource studies recorded no cultural resources within the APE but did record 44 resources within one mile of the APE. The two closest resources, the 1905 Pacific Electric Railroad Santa Ana River Bridge (P-30-161847) and the 1926 Hales -Hill Feed Warehouse (P- 30-177031), are within 0.25 mile of the APE. Detailed information about the records search can be found in the Archaeological Survey Report (HPSR Attachment D). OUTREACH AND ARCHIVAL RESEARCH As part of the pre -field research, background research for the APE was conducted using published literature in local and regional history, online resources regarding the history and development of the area, and historic aerial photographs and maps of the project vicinity. Once resources requiring evaluation were identified, additional research was conducted to develop relevant historic contexts and property -specific chronologies. In addition, formal outreach was conducted beginning on March 21, 2019. This consisted of mailing a letter and map regarding the project to various groups, organizations, and individuals. No responses were received. On April 24, 2019, follow-up emails were sent. No responses have been received to date. A list of the outreach contacts is provided below and detailed information regarding the outreach, including sample letters and a map, can be found in the Historic Property Survey Report (HPSR, Attachment Q. • Santa Ana Historical Preservation • Santa Ana History Room • Heritage Museum of Orange County • Phil Brigandi, Local Historian 4
