5.Responses to Comments at the Public Hearing on the Draft EIR dispersal.The display of interpretive material,such as a printed brochure,could be based on the photographs produced in the HAGS/HAER documentation,and the historic archival research previously prepared for the resources in and near the project. • Preservation and Relocation. After recording a structure in its original location a building could be moved to a new location on or off the project site.The new setting would strive to preserve the original historic context of the structure. • Preservation and Reuse. After recording a structure in its original state,the structure could be adapted to serve the objective of the proposed project,as an auxiliary structure or a component of the main use. • Architectural Resource Salvage Opportunities. After recording and at least 30 days prior to demolition,the interested parties would have the opportunity to salvage architectural elements for re-use or curation. Items selected would be removed in a manner that minimizes damage to those items. Mitigation measures outlined in the Draft SEIR are intended to be part of the overall consideration of impacts to historical resources as part of the proposed Housing Element. While implementation of Mitigation Measures 4.D-Ia and 4.D-lb would lessen project impacts, demolition of a historical resource is a significant adverse change that cannot be mitigated to a less-than-significant level. These proposed mitigation options, therefore,will be discussed and refined by the project applicant and the Community Development Department. Planning Commission Vice Chair Jerry Pentin Comment: Emphasizes that photographs of historic resources are archived and used for research. Response: As noted by the commenter, the HAGS, HAER,and HALS are programs of the National Park Service aimed at creating a detailed record of historical buildings and structures. HABS/HAER recordation includes architectural drawings, large format photography in accordance with HABS/HAER specifications, historical research, and written reports in both short format and outline format. HABS/HAER all require documentation to be done on large format,black and white film. Digital capture does not meet the requirements no matter how much resolution. Many other documentation and mitigation parameters for environmental or historic preservation like CEQA,NEPA and Section 106 are based upon HAGS standards and as such,they must also be recorded on archival, large format film to comply with the intent of the mitigation/recordation and meet the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Architectural and Engineering Documentation.
