Re: HAYFIELD HOUSE, 18888 Hayfield Ct.
Dear Members of the Commission:
In regards to the reconstruction of the Hayfield House, I want to update you on our progress, as
well as invite you to review the installations to date. As with most construction projects of this
magnitude and detail, we are a bit off of the projected schedule. The following list summarizes
the percentage of completeness of the major items:
Roof Shingles- approximately 95% complete
2. Copper gutters- 100%
3. Windows- 75% installed, 90% delivered
4. Doors- 50% installed, 75% delivered
5. Dormers- Roof, trim, and windows installed; shingle side walls- I out of 14
6. Balcony planter boxes- 100% have been installed, awaiting rosettes
7. Exterior Trim- 10% installed, 90% sandblasted
8. Front Porch Addition- 100% rough framing
9. Stucco- pending
10. GUEST HOUSE:
a. Rough frame- 30%
11. GARAGE:
a. Rough frame- 100%
Currently, the exterior trim is being installed, as are the remaining doors and windows. A large
portion of the work being performed is on the interior (electrical, etc.), but the building paper and
wire mesh for the stucco should be applied in the next two months or so. The stucco coatings are
scheduled for sometime in December and January.
You are welcome to review the work on the project at any time- just contact the contractor, Karl
Barnes, at (408) 867 -6540, to arrange a tour. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to
call.
Sincerely,
Gary Kohlsaat

Saratoga Heritage Orchard Master Plan
Purpose of Document
In order to ensure the long -term viability of Saratoga's Heritage Orchard, the Heritage Commission has
prepared an Orchard Master Plan. This document provides for the renovation of the existing orchard and
sets out guidelines to control future uses in the interest of minimizing disruption of the existing character
or health of the orchard.
Context
The Heritage Orchard is an approximately 18 -acre site at the corner of Saratoga Avenue and Fruitvale
Avenue. The orchard is currently comprised of Prune, Apricot, and Cherry trees. Historically, the orchard
was made up primarily of Apricot trees, which still comprise approximately half of the trees in the
orchard. Overtime, a number of trees in the orchard have died or declined. A substantial number of trees
need to be replanted to maintain the orchard in a healthy condition. Currently, the orchard is irrigated
using a temporary system. Irrigation lines are manually laid out on top of the ground to provide flood
irrigation to four rows of orchard trees and then relocated to the next four rows of orchard trees. Using
this labor intensive approach, the trees are watered four to six times per year from a metered source.
The Saratoga Library is located in the North corner of the orchard facing Saratoga Avenue. The proposed
library expansion will necessitate the removal of some orchard trees to accommodate the building and
parking expansion. Sixty -two of the removed trees have been transplanted to other locations in the
orchard. An additional 140 orchard trees will be planted as a part of the separate library expansion
project. These trees will be primarily located in the triangle of the Saratoga/Fruitvale intersection and
along Saratoga Avenue with the remainder being planted the immediate perimeter of the library.

Goals
The following goals have been identified for the Saratoga Heritage Orchard:
1. Preserve the orchard as a functioning agrarian use.
2. Provide educational opportunities to learn about agricultural history in the area and orchard
management and operations.
3. Maximize views of the orchard from the surrounding area to insure the orchard is an important
part of the community's image.
4. Minimize intrusion of site improvements into orchard that may disrupt orchard maintenance
operations or impact the `natural appearance' of the orchard.
5. Ensure orchard is maintained in optimum health by implementing necessary orchard maintenance
and replacement programs.
6. Implement a tree adoption program.
Recommendations
In developing the master plan the Heritage Preservation Committee reviewed a number of issues
associated with the orchard from permitted uses to long -term maintenance approach. The following
recommendations summarize their input on the range of issues.
Replace orchard trees that have died or are in substantial decline.
Currently, there are 298 dead or missing trees in need of replacement. A further 69 are in severe decline
likely requiring attention in the near future and an additional 95 trees will potentially need to be replaced
in the next 5 years. Replacement tree species should be consistent with the existing trees in the various
sections of the orchard. Specific varieties or cultivars should be selected which are adapted to the
environment.

*Trees under 7 years old
Retain existing health of non - orchard trees.
A number of native oaks and other trees interspersed throughout the orchard, while their existing trees are
not typically found in a commercial orchard as they compete with the fruit trees in sun and space. The
Heritage Preservation Committee felt it is important to retain these trees as a part of the sites history.
However, only orchard trees will be planted in the orchard in the future.

Heritage Preservation Committee felt it is important to retain these trees as a part of the sites history.
However, only orchard trees will be planted in the orchard in the future.
Provide informal pedestrian paths in orchard.
Pedestrian paths in the orchard shall have minimal impact on the natural appearance of the orchard and
not interfere with maintenance. Pedestrian access through the orchard should be limited to hard packed,
dirt paths created by dragging or rolling a disced area to create an even smoother surface. Paths will need
to be recreated each year.
Install a permanent irrigation ystem in the orchard.
Irrigation for orchard trees will be designed according to adapted city standards to accommodate orchard
conditions. Available gallons per minute and water pressure to be determined by the type of connection.
(On site water well or city water main). The irrigation system will be designed to achieve maximum
watering efficiency through head to head coverage. The system would be laid out to work with the
discing pattern of the rows. A permanent system will minimize the labor associated with the current
temporary irrigation system approach and to provide greater flexibility with watering in response to
precipitation patterns and individual tree needs.
Install a well with a booster pump for irrigation water supply.
In order to reduce the city's reliance on and the expense of a metered water source, the city should initiate
the process of implementing a well system. Preliminary information would seem to indicate a well
system at this site would be successful. A test well needs to be drilled to confirm the feasibility of a well
system for irrigation use. If the well system feasibility is confirmed, a booster pump or holding tank
system should be designed to accommodate irrigation supply demand.
Construct a "barn" to house orchard maintenance equipment and provide a focus for education programs.
The maintenance barn should be located in the existing open area in the eastern portion of the site at the
end of the existing access road. In addition to storage the barn could also be used as a gathering area for
docent educational programs about the orchard. The barn would be approximately 40'x 80' and house all
maintenance equipment and supplies stored on site. No outdoor storage would be allowed. The character
of the barn should be consistent with the historic character of the orchard. (Public restrooms would not be
provided in the barn area.) Design of the barn would be subject to review by the city.
A gravel forecourt would provide all- weather access to the barn. The gravel area should be a minimized
size for barn uses. Access to the barn should be via the existing access road and would only be used for
orchard maintenance. Access to the barn for educational purposes would be via the pedestrian pathways.
A water tower could also be located in this area to provide a visual landmark.

Implement an adoption program for orchard trees.
In order to increase community involvement in the orchard preservation and to off set some of the orchard
maintenance costs. The commission would like the City to implement a tree adoption program. While
the details of the program would need to be refined, the commission envisions a freestanding kiosk to be
used to identify individual adopted trees rather than plaques scattered throughout the orchard. Pedestrian
access through the orchard would be created by discing the rolling paths between the rows, parallel to the
irrigation lines.
Implementation
The implementation of the Master Plan will occur over a number of years. In addition to the ongoing
management strategies, there are a number of capital improvements, which are a part of the master plan.
The phase I improvements should be undertaken in the next year to insure the continuing health of the
orchard.
Phase I Capital Improvements
• Replace missing or dead orchard trees
• Install a permanent irrigation system
• Explore feasibility of a well and install well system as appropriate
Future Phase Improvements
• Adopt a tree program development
• Maintenance `Barn" construction
• Ongoing orchard tree replacement as required
Typically orchard trees are planted from bare root stock or seeded in the fall and planted in January or
February. All other improvements such as well and irrigation system would need to be installed prior to
planting.
The city council will need to allocate funds for Phase I improvements as follows.
The following Phase I costs are anticipated:

Introduction
hen a proposed project may adversely
affect a historical resource, the Cali-
fornia Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) requires the Lead Agency to carefully
consider the possible impacts before proceeding
(Public Resources Code Sections 21084 and
21084.1). Revisions to the Act made in 1992, par-
ticularly Chapter 1075 of the Statutes of 1992,
have highlighted the. importance of evaluating
possible impacts upon historic resources_ This
advisory paper discusses how CEQA applies to
city and county decisions on proposed projects
which may potentially impact or otherwise involve
historic resources.
CEQA exists to ensure that governmental
decisionmakers consider the potential significant
environmental effects of proposed projects before
talang action. The Lead Agency is responsible for
determining whether a significant adverse envi-
ronmental impact may occur and whether it can
be mitigated to a level of insignificance. 'Where
substantial evidence indicates that a significant
adverse effect may occur, the lead decisioamaking
agency is required to prepare an Environmental
Impact Report (EIR) which discusses in detail the
potential impact and feasible means of avoidiag
or reducing it Where such an effect may be miti-
gated to a level of iiWguificance through changes
in the project or other requirements, a mitigated
Negative Declaration should be prepared rather
than an EIR.
CEQA and historical Resources is advisory
only. Although it supplements the CEQA Guide-
lines (Guidelines) on this topic, it does not amend
or replace the regulations represented by the
Guidelines. All code references herein are to the
Public Resources Code unless otherwise noted.

CEQA and Histodcal Resources
Background on Historical
Resources Preservation
here are a number of ways in which local
communities and the State encourage or
require the preservation of California's
historical resources. Before delving into how the
CEQA requirements augment this preservation
activity, a short overview of State and local pres-
ervation mechanism is in order. Keep in mind that
while the immediately following discussion re-
views historic preservation programs, the focus
of this advisory paper is on the CEQA- mandated
process of evaluating development projects for
potential significant effects on historical resources.
The State
The State Historic Resources Commission and
the Office of Historic Preservation (SHPO) within
the Department of Parks and Recreation adminis-
ter California's historic preservation programs.
The appointed Commission's pertinent duties in-
clude: evaluating applications and recommend-
ing properties for listing on the National Register
of Historic places; maintaining a statewide inven-
tory of historical resources, including historical
landmarks and points of interest; establishing cri-
teria for recording and preserving historical re-
sources; developing and adopting criteria for re-
habilitatioag historic structures; developing and
annually updating a statewide historic resources
plan, overseeing administration of the California
Register ofHistoric Places, including recommend-
ing standards for the evaluation of historic re-
sources for inclusion in the register; and develop-
ing criteria and procedures for selecting enhance-
ment and preservation projects for funding under
the National Historic Preservation Fund, the Cali-
fornia Heritage Fund, and other finding programs
(Section 5020.4).
SHPO's duties include: serving as staff to the
Commission; overseeing State agency compliance
with State preservation statutes and programs;
4 • Governor's Offico Of Planning and Research
Jui. -{S :..dWl LOS :1ISPM Pb
administering Federal preservation programs in
California.; administering State programs such as
the California Register, providing information and
technical assistance to agencies and the public;
and reviewing and commenting on the impact on
historic resources of publicly funded projects and
programs (Section 5020.6).
The California Register of Historical Re-
sources is an authoritative guide to identifying the
State's historical resources. It establishes a list of
those properties which are to be protected from
substantial adverse change (Section 5024.1).
A historical resource may be listed in the Cali-
fornia Register if it meets any of the following
criteria: (1) it is associated with events that have
made a significant contribution to the broad pat-
terns of California's history and cultural heritage;
(2) it is associated with the lives of persons im-
portant in California's past; (3) it embodies the
distinctive characteristics of a type, period, region,
or method of construction, or represents the work
of an important creative individual, or possesses
high artistic value; or (4) it has yielded or is likely
to yield information important in prehistory or
history_ The Register includes properties which are
listed or have been formally determined to be eli-
gible for listing in the National Register, State
Historical Landmarks, and eligible Points of His-
torical Interest.
Other resources require nomination for inclu-
sion in the Register. These may include resources
contributing to the significance of a local historic
district, individual historical resources, historical
resources identified in historic resources surveys
conducted in accordance with SHPO procedures,
historic resources or districts designated under a
local ordinance consistent with Couunission pro-
cedures, and local landmarks or historic proper-
ties designated under local ordinance.
An individual resource, district, or local land-
mark may be nominated for inclusion in the Reg-

ister by a resident, a landowner, or a local govern-
ment The Commission will review each request,
after providing the opportunity for affected prop-
erty owners, local agencies, and interested persons
to comment on the proposed listing, before deter -
mining whether to include the resource on the
Register (Section 5024.1). If the local government
objects to the nomination, the Commission must
make supportive findings for any listing. Nomi-
nations for which there is owner objection will
not be placed in the Register, but may nonethe-
less be listed as eligible.
There are several State and federal programs
which directly promote historic preservation. In
order to encourage rehabilitation, rather than
demolition or removal of historic values, the State
Historical Building Code (Health and Safety Sec-
tion 18950, et seq.) can be applied to qualifying
structures. This allows repairs, renovations, and
other construction in variance to the Uniform
Building Code (UBC). The Mills Act (Revenue
and Taxation Code Sections 439 et seq.) offers
property tax relief in exchange for an agreement
from the property owner to maintain the historic
resource for a period of 10 years. The Marks His-
torical Rehabilitation Act authorizes cities, coun-
ties and redevelopment agencies to issue tax -ex-
empt revenue bonds to finance the rehabilitation
of significant historic buildings. In addition, Fed-
eral investment tax credits are also available for
qualified rehabilitation of historic structures.
The State Office of Historic Preservation pub-
lishes a guide, The Survey of Surveys which lists
all local resource surveys known to the SD PO. The
State Office also provides a fact sheet about the
California Register. Guidelines for the nomination
of properties to the California Register are being
developed by SHPO and may be available by the
beginning of 1997. The SIVO can be contacted

CE04 and W9Wrlaa/ Resources
Other good sources of information on local
surveys and designations are the city or county
planning department and the local historical soci-
ety. Specific information about a property identi-
fied in a formal survey can be obtained through
the I I regional Information Centers for CaUfor-
Wa. Historical Resources (formerly the Regional
Archaeological Information Centers). A list of
these centers is found in Appendix 2.
Local Govemnwnt
Cities and counties use a number of tools to
identify and protect historical resources. For in-
stance, at least 60 cities and counties have adopted
general plan elements containing detailed policies
on historic preservation or historic structures.
About 20 percent of California's cities and coun-
ties (1986) have completed historic resource sur-
veys.
A variety of local actions directly protect his-
torical resources by limiting the kinds of changes
that can be made to them. Historic preservation
ordinances for identified landmarks, historic dis-
tricts, and other qualifying resources which require
consideration of a use permit or other discretion-
ary permit prior to changes in the resource are the
most effective means of protection. Architectural
design controls, for example, generally require that
proposed alterations receive the review and ap-
proval of an architectural review commission or
board. In order to encourage owners to preserve
significant properties, some localities assist own-
ers in obtaining low - interest rehabilitation loans,
help finance improvements through redevelop-
ment or other activities (particularly in historic
business districts), and may engage in outright
purchase to protect the integrity of historic re-
sources.

CEQA and Historical Resources
Provisions
EQA does not apply to ministerial actions
which may impact a historical resource.
For example, a project which complies
with the Uniform Building Code and for which
no discretionary permit is required does not fall
under CEQA, even if the project may alter a build-
ing which is considered a "qualified historic struc-
ture" under the State Historical Building Code
(Pr,enriss a City of South Pasadena (1993) 15
Cal.App.4th 85). Common ministerial actions in-
clude roof replacement, interior remodeling, or
other activities which require only a non- discre-
tionary building permit. A ministerial action ap-
plies fixed standards or objective measurements
and involves "little or no personal judgment by a
public official as to the wisdom or manner of car-
rying out the project" (Guidelines Section 15369).
CEQA does apply to discretionary projects and
equates a substantial adverse change in the sig-
nificance of a historical resource with a signifi-
cant effect on the environment (Section 21084.1).
Further, the Act explicitly prohibits the use of a
categorical exemption within the CEQ14 Guide-
lines for projects which may cause such a change
(Section 21084). "Substantial adverse change" is
defined as demolition, destruction, relocation, or
alteration activities which would impair histori-
cal significance (Section 5020.1).
This effectively requires preparation of a miti-
gated Negative Declaration or an EIR whenever a
project may adversely impact historic resources.
Current CEQA law provides that an EIR must be
prepared whenever it can be fairly argued, on the
basis of substantial evidence in the administrative
record, that a project may have a si,guificant effect
on a historical resource (Guidelines Section
15064). A mitigated Negative Declaration may be
114PO4 U11werr. AX). ro +abhaliy significant efforts can
be mitigated to a level of insignificance (Section
21080). For example, a mitigated Negative Dec-
laration may be adopted for a project which meets
6 • Govemor's Office of Planning and Resmrch
the Secretary of Interior's Standards for Rehabili-
viion and local.historic preservation regulations,
and so will not adversely affect the resource.
Key Questions
This presents the Lead Agency with two key
questions which it must address in sequence. First,
does a significant historical resource exist? Ab-
sent a historical resource, the agency may proceed
as usual and, depending upon the circumstances,
may be able to apply a CEQA exemption to the
project Second, where a significant historical re-
source does exist, will the proposed project result
in a substantial adverse change such that the quali-
ties that matte the resource significant are impaired
or lost? This question should be answered through
preparation of an initial study for the project.
Is a Historical Resource Present?
Section 21084.1 is by turns both specific and
vague in distinguishing the range of resources
which may be considered historic. First, any re-
source listed in, or eligible for listing in, the Cali-
fornia Register of Historical Resources is pre-
sumed to be historically or culturally significant.
This includes listed archaeological resources (for
example, California Landmark Number 838, The
Indian Village of Tsurai). The Lead Agency's first
step should be to consult the applicable Historical
Resources File System Information Center to as-
certain whether the resource is listed in the Cali-
fornia Register.
A side note: CEQA establishes two separate
mechanisms for evaluating potential adverse ef-
fects on archaeological resources. Section 210841.1

sources see CEQA and Archaeological Resources,
published by OPR.
Second, resources which are listed in a local
historic register or deemed significant in a histori-
cal resource survey as provided under Section
5024.1(g) are to be presumed historically or cul-
turally significant unless "the preponderance of
evidence" demonstrates they are not The next step
is to consult the pertinent existing local register
aual aw vcy. 13a►.aubo 4 heal xcgiatcr or survey mur
not employ the same criteria as the California
Register, listing or identification in a local survey
does not necessarily establish if the property is
eligible for listing on the Register. The Lead
Agency will need to evaluate the resource in light
of the Register's listing criteria (these will be in-
cluded in guidelines expected to be released by
SHPO in June 1994). The Lead Agency may de-
tennine that the preponderance of evidence dem-
onstrates that the property in question is not his-
torically or culturally significant despite being
listed on a local register or identified in a local
historic survey. When making this determination,
OPR strongly recommends that the agency cite
for the record the specific, concrete evidence
which supports that determination.
Third, a resource that is not listed in, or deter-
mined to be eligible for listing in, the California
Register of Historic Resources, not included in a
local register of historic resources, or not deemed
significant in a historical resource survey may
nonetheless be historically significant, pursuant
to Section 21084.1. This provision is intended to
give the Lead Agency discretion to determine that
a resource of historic significance exists where
none had been identified before and to apply the
requirements of Section 21084.1 to properties that
have not previously been formally recognized as
historic. As the last step, the local agency should
employ recognized criteria to determine whether
a previously unrecognized significant historical
resource exists.
As always under CEQA, the lead agency must
determine whether there is "substantial evidence"
in the administrative record to support a finding
of significant effect. Substantial evidence is de-
fined in Public Resources Code Section 21080(e)
as including "...facts, reasonable assumptions
CEQA and N1SMa+g1 Resoar&09
predicated upon facts, and expert opinion sup-
ported by facts." Unsubstantiated claims of his-
torical significance do not require preparation of
an EIR.(Citizen s Committee to Save Our Village
v City of Claremont (1995) 37 Cal.App_4th 1157
— no substantial evidence existed that a landscape
garden planned in 1905 was ever installed or main-
tained).
Will There be a Substantial Adveme Change?
When a project would potentially affect a his-
torical resource, the Lead Agency should prepare
an initial study. The initial study, and the infor-
mation upon which it is based, will provide a ba-
sis for determining whether the project may re-
sult in substantial adverse changes to the resource
and, at the same time, a significant adverse envi-
ronmental effect.
Section 5020.1 establishes the threshold of
"substantial adverse change" as demolition, de-
struction, relocation, or alteration activities that
would impair the significance of the historic re-
source. One example might be the removal of a
historic structure from a historic district, thereby
affecting the cohesiveness of the district. Remod-
eling a historic structure in such a way that its dis-
tinctive nature is altered would be another. The
Secretary of Interior's Standards for Rehabilita-
tion provide a standard guide to recommended
(and not recommended) treatments to historic
properties. The Standards may be obtained from
SHPO.
Section 21084.1 is intended to provide, in the
form of CEQA mitigation measures or project al-
ternatives, new protections for historical resources
which may be adversely changed by a project.
Presumably, the Lead Agency may conclude that
a project will have no significant environmental
effect when there is no substantial evidence of an
adverse change. Buildings and other historic re-
sources protected from adverse changes by local
regulations such as a historic district designation
or historic preservation ordinance, may logically
be expected not to suffer such changes as long as
the project complies with those regulations. Where
such protective regulations exist, or where miti-
gating conditions of approval are imposed, the
initial study for the development project may cite

them as evidence that no impact will occur, or that
any unpacts will be mitigated to a level of insig-
nificance. Either a Negative Declaration or miti-
gated Negative Declaration could be adopted un-
der those circumstances.
In Citizen's for Responsible Development in
West Hollywood v City of West Hollywood (1995)
39 Cal.AppAth 925, a California appellate court
upheld a city's mitigated negative declaration on
essentially the same grounds as discussed above.
The project consisted of a 40 -unit low- income
lwueiug ptojcct which would rehabilitate and re-
store two craftsman-style buildings on the front
of the property and demolish another four build-
ings in the rear. West Hollywood had established
a "Craftsman District" which encompassed the
front buildings for purposes of historic preserva-
tion and established a Cultural Heritage Advisory
Board (CHAB) to evaluate proposed activities
within the district. When creating the District, the
city had considered including the rear buildings
within its boundaries, but concluded that they were
not historically significant. The housing project
was reviewed and approved by the CHAB as be-
ing benign relative to the architectural features and
historic value of the front buildings and in con-
formance with the Secretary of Interior's rehabili-
tation standards.
The court found that there was no substantial
evidence to support Citizen's claim that a histori-
cal resource was being adversely impacted by the
project. Those structures deemed to be of histori-
cal importance were being rehabilitated and re-
stored in accordance with adopted city, state, and
federal regulations. The structures proposed for
demolition were neither on a historic register, nor
eligible for listing in the California Register, and
their potential historical significance had been dis-
missed Am study by the city during creation of
the Craftsman District. Under the circumstances,
the city was justified in adopting a mitigated Nega-
tive Declaration.

Where there is no protective ordinance or other
regulation inplace or where protective actions such
as mitigation measures are insufficient to avoid a
"substantial adverse change" in the resource, the
Lead Agency should conclude that an adverse
change will occur. In that case, an EIR must be
prepared. As mentioned before, for purposes of
CEQA a substantial adverse change in the histori-
cal resource is the equivalent of a significant ad-
verse environmental effect.
Hsatarioal Eico- Foes aril No#wral A+oaa#aro
Most projects undertaken to demolish or re-
place property or facilities damaged as a result of
a disaster for which a state of emergency has been
declared are statutorily exempt from CEQA (sub-
division (b), Section 21080). Notwithstanding that
exemption, actions in the aftermath of a disaster
which might adversely affect historical resources
are subject to State laws governing consideration
of historical resources.
Section 5028 provides that no structure listed
in the National Register of Historic Places, the
California Register, or a local register that has been
damaged as a result of a natural disaster is to be
demolished, destroyed, or significantly altered
(except for alterations to preserve or enhance his-
toric value) unless: (1) the structure represents
"an imminent threat to the public of bodily harm
or of damage.to adjacent property," or (2) the ac-
tion is approved by the SHPO. That section fur-
ther establishes the procedure for review of pro-
posed actions by the SHPO.
In the wake of an earthquake, flood, fire, or
other natural disaster the local agency may only
demolish or destroy those structures which are an
"imminent threat" In all other cases, the local
agency must notify and consult with SHPO im-
mediately ifthere are damaged historical resources
which may require demolition, destruction, or sig-
nificant alterations.

Subdivision (9) of Public Resources Code
Section 5024.1:
(g) A resource identified as significant in an histori-
cal resource survey may be listed in the California
Register if the survey meets all of the following
criteria.
(1) The survey has been or will be included in the State
Historic Resources Inventory _
(2) The survey and the survey documentation were
prepared in accordance with office procedures and
requirements.
(3) The resource is evaluated and determined by the
office [of Historic Preservation] to have a signifi-
cance rating of Category I to 5 on DPR Form 523.
(4) If the survey is five or more years old at the time
of its nomination for inclusion in the California
Registry, the survey is updated to identify histori-
cal resources which have become eligible or ineli-
gible due to changed circumstances or further
documentation and those which have been demol-
ished or altered in a manner that substantially di-
minishes the significance of the resource.
Public Resources Code Section 21098.1:
A project that may cause a substantial adverse
change in the significance of an historical resource is
a project that may have a significant effect on the en-
vironment. For purposes of this section, an historical
resource is a resource listed in, or determined to be
eligible for listing in, the California Register of Iiis-
torical Resources. Historical resources included in a
local register of historical resources, as defined in sub-
section (k) of Section 5020. 1, are presumed to be his-
torically or culturally significant for purposes of this
section, unless the preponderance of the evidence dem-
onstrates that the resource is not historically or cultur-
ally significant. The fact that a resmu -ce is not listed

fornia Register of Historical Resources, not inchrded
in a local register ofhistoricai resources, ornot deemed
significant pursuant to criteria set forth in subdivision
(g) of Section 5024.1 shall not preclude a lead agency
from determining whether the resource may be an his-
torical resource for purposes of this section.
