Santa Ana General Plan Update <br />CEQA Findings of Fact and Statement <br />Of Overriding Considerations -46- October 2021 <br />rehabilitation, or alteration of a historical resource and its setting or related new <br />construction will not impair the significance of the historical resource. Use of the <br />Standards shall be overseen by an architectural historian or historic architect meeting <br />the Secretary of the Interior’s Professional Qualification Standards. Evidence of <br />compliance with the Standards shall be provided to the City in the form of a report <br />identifying and photographing character-defining features and spaces and specifying <br />how the proposed treatment of character-defining features and spaces and related <br />construction activities will conform to the Standards. The Qualified Professional shall <br />monitor the construction and provide a report to the City at the conclusion of the <br />project. Use of the Secretary’s Standards shall reduce the project impacts on historical <br />resources to less than significant. <br />CUL-3 Documentation, Education, and Memorialization. If the City determines that <br />significant impacts to historical resources cannot be avoided, the City shall require, at <br />a minimum, that the affected historical resources be thoroughly documented before <br />issuance of any permits and may also require additional public education efforts and/or <br />memorialization of the historical resource. Though demolition or alteration of a <br />historical resource such that its significance is materially impaired cannot be mitigated <br />to a less than significant level, recordation of the resource will reduce significant <br />adverse impacts to historical resources to the maximum extent feasible. Such <br />recordation should be prepared under the supervision of an architectural historian, <br />historian, or historic architect meeting the Secretary of the Interior’s Professional <br />Qualification Standards and should take the form of Historic American Buildings <br />Survey (HABS) documentation. At a minimum, this recordation should include an <br />architectural and historical narrative; archival photographic documentation; and <br />supplementary information, such as building plans and elevations and/or historic <br />photographs. The documentation package should be reproduced on archival paper <br />and should be made available to researchers and the public through accession by <br />appropriate institutions such as the Santa Ana Library History Room, the South Central <br />Coastal Information Center at California State University, Fullerton, and/or the HABS <br />collection housed in the Library of Congress. Depending on the significance of the <br />adversely affected historical resource, the City, at its discretion, may also require <br />public education about the historical resource in the form of an exhibit, web page, <br />brochure, or other format and/or memorialization of the historical resource on or near <br />the proposed project site. If memorialized, such memorialization shall be a permanent <br />installation, such as a mural, display, or other vehicle that recalls the location, <br />appearance, and historical significance of the affected historical resource, and shall <br />be designed in conjunction with a qualified architectural historian, historian, or historic <br />architect. <br />Finding <br />Finding 3. Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the GPU that avoid <br />or substantially lessen the significant environmental effect as identified in the PEIR. These
