Part of the family room has natural wood paneling. VI. HISTORIC EVALUATION The California Register of Historical Resources In 1992 Assembly Bill 2881 added Section 21084.1 to the Public Resources Code (i.e. the CEQA statute) which provided more specific guidelines for identifying historic resources during the CEQA process: 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 environment. For purposes of this section, an historical resource is a resource listed in, or determined eligible for listing in, the California Register of Historical Resources. Consequently, under Section 21084.1, an historic resource eligible for the California Register would by definition be an historic resource for purposes of CEQA compliance. The Final Regulations for nominating resources to the California Register were published in January, 1998. Under the regulations, a number of historic resources are automatically eligible for the California Register if they have been listed in and determined eligible for the National Register of Historic Places or the California Historic Landmarks program (landmarks #770 or higher). Historic resources included in local inventories or designated under local ordinances can also be presumed eligible if they meet criteria consistent with California Register criteria. 11021 Dublin Canyon Road received a “Q” rating (“some visual interest, needs more historical research”) in the Historical and Cultural Resource Survey, East Alameda County, a 2005 historic resource “windshield” reconnaissance survey ( Corbett 2005:41). Many buildings in the 2005 survey received a “Q” rating. The highest rating in the 2005 reconnaissance survey is a “K” rating, which is identified under the Alameda County Historic Preservation Ordinance as eligible for the “Alameda County Register of Historic Resources” for “significant visual qualities.” In order for a resource to be eligible for the California Register, it must meet three criteria: 1) be eligible under one of the four criteria of significance, 2) retain historic integrity and 3) be fifty years old or older (except in rare case where the resource meets a higher level or “exceptional” level of significance). Since the houses at 11021 and 11033 Dublin Canyon Road pre-date 1968, the houses meet the California Register age criterion. The houses are evaluated below under the California Register criteria for historic significance and historic integrity. The houses have not been previously formally evaluated under California Register or National Register criteria.
