2. Cultural Resources <br /> Impact 5.4-1: Buildout consistent with the General Plan Update could impact an identified <br /> historic resource. <br /> Support for this environmental impact conclusion is fully discussed in Section 5.4, Cultural <br /> Resources, starting on page 5.4-26 of the Updated Draft PEIR. <br /> Generally, potential impacts to historical resources resulting from future projects developed <br /> pursuant to the GPU would be mitigated by the City's fulfillment of its statutory responsibilities <br /> under CEQA. However, for certain development pursuant to the GPU, the City may determine <br /> that significant impacts to historical resources cannot be avoided. The City shall require, at a <br /> minimum, that the affected historical resources be thoroughly documented before issuance of any <br /> permits. Though the possible demolition or alteration of a historical resource cannot be mitigated <br /> to a less than significant level, recordation of the resource will reduce significant adverse impacts <br /> to historical resources to the maximum extent feasible. <br /> With fulfillment of the CUL-1 and CUL-2, future development consistent with the GPU would result <br /> in a less than significant impact to cultural resources. However, if significant impacts cannot be <br /> avoided, the City shall require, at a minimum, that the affected historical resources are <br /> documented consistent with Mitigation Measure CUL-3. The Historical Resources Technical <br /> Report determined that unavoidable impacts to historical resources resulting from future <br /> development under the GPU will be reduced to the maximum extent feasible but will still be <br /> significant with implementation of Mitigation Measure CUL-3. Therefore, the development under <br /> the GPU would result in significant and unavoidable impacts. <br /> Mitigation Measures <br /> CUL-1 Identification of Historical Resources and Potential Project Impacts. For <br /> structures 45 years or older, a Historical Resources Assessment (HRA) shall be <br /> prepared by an architectural historian or historian meeting the Secretary of the <br /> Interior's Professional Qualification Standards. The HRA shall include: definition of a <br /> study area or area of potential effect, which will encompass the affected property and <br /> may include surrounding properties or historic district(s); an intensive level survey of <br /> the study area to identify and evaluate under federal, State, and local criteria <br /> significance historical resources that might be directly or indirectly affected by the <br /> proposed project; and an assessment of project impacts. The HRA shall satisfy federal <br /> and State guidelines for the identification, evaluation, and recordation of historical <br /> resources. An HRA is not required if an existing historic resources survey and <br /> evaluation of the property is available; however, if the existing survey and evaluation <br /> is more than five years old, it shall be updated. <br /> CUL-2 Use of the Secretary of the Interior's Standards. The Secretary of the Interior's <br /> Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties shall be used to the maximum <br /> extent practicable to ensure that projects involving the relocation, conversion, <br /> Santa Ana General Plan Update <br /> CE 5T ac an Statement 32 — 68 2 <br /> Of ri ing onsiderations -45- 61 /Rer�0 2 1 <br />
