  • Yolo County Cannabis Land Use Ordinance Draft Environmental
    Ascent Environmental Cultural Resources 3.5 CULTURAL RESOURCES This section analyzes and evaluates the potential impacts of the project on known and unknown cultural resources as a result of adoption and implementation of the proposed CLUO, including issuance of subsequent Cannabis Use Permits pursuant to the adopted CLUO. Cultural resources include districts, sites, buildings, structures, or objects generally older than 50 years and considered to be important to a culture, subculture, or community for scientific, traditional, religious, or other reasons. They include prehistoric resources, historic-era resources, and tribal cultural resources (the latter as defined by AB 52, Statutes of 2014, in PRC Section 21074). This section also analyzes archaeological, historical, and tribal cultural resources. Paleontological resources are discussed in Section 3.7, “Geology and Soils.” Archaeological resources are locations where human activity has measurably altered the earth or left deposits of prehistoric or historic-era physical remains (e.g., stone tools, bottles, former roads, house foundations). Historical (or architectural or built environment) resources include standing buildings (e.g., houses, barns, outbuildings, cabins), intact structures (e.g., dams, bridges, wells), or other remains of human’s alteration of the environment (e.g., foundation pads, remnants of rock walls). Tribal cultural resources were added as a distinct resource subject to review under CEQA, effective January 1, 2015, under AB 52. Tribal cultural resources are sites, features, places, cultural landscapes, sacred places, and objects with cultural value to a California Native American tribe that are either included or determined to be eligible for inclusion in the California Register of Historical Resources (CRHR) or local registers of historical resources.

  • Cultural, Paleontological, and Tribal Cultural Resources
    Chapter 7—Cultural, Paleontological, and Tribal Cultural Resources 7.1 Introduction This chapter describes the existing conditions (environmental and regulatory) and assesses the potential cultural, paleontological, and tribal resources impacts of the 2020 Metropolitan Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy (proposed MTP/SCS). Where necessary and feasible, mitigation measures are identified to reduce these impacts. The information presented in this chapter is based on review of existing and available information and is regional in scope. Data, analysis, and findings provided in this chapter were considered and prepared at a programmatic level. For consistency with the 2016 MTP/SCS EIR, paleontological resources are addressed in this chapter even though these resources are grouped with geology and soils in Appendix G of the CEQA Guidelines (SACOG 2016). Impacts to unique geologic features are addressed in Chapter 9 – Geology, Soils, Seismicity, and Mineral Resources. Cultural resources include archaeological sites or districts of prehistoric or historic origin, built environment resources older than 50 years (e.g., historic buildings, structures, features, objects, districts, and landscapes), and traditional or ethnographic resources, including tribal cultural resources, which are a separate category of cultural resources under CEQA. Paleontological resources include mineralized, partially mineralized, or unmineralized bones and teeth, soft tissues, shells, wood, leaf impressions, footprints, burrows, and microscopic remains that are more than 5,000 years old and occur mainly in Pleistocene or older sedimentary rock units. In response to the Notice of Preparation (NOP), SACOG received comments related to cultural and tribal cultural resources from the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) and United Auburn Indian Community of the Auburn Rancheria.

  • California on the Move
    California On the Move 32nd Annual Conference of the California Council for the Promotion of History 18–20 October 2012 Woodland, California 1936 US99 drought North of Bakersfield—Dorthea Lange Welcome to Woodland! Join us in Woodland as CCPH explores California on the Move. Our state has always been a land of movement—from native peoples, to explorers and settlers, to promoters and exploiters. Shifts and changes in land and water, migration of flora and fauna, and waves of social movements have all shaped California, and the City of Woodland has been witness to much of this evolution. Welcome and thank you for coming along for the ride! The Historic Hotel Woodland was originally designed by prominent Bay Area architect W.H. Weeks in 1928. For decades, the hotel provided luxury accommodations to visitors and commercial businesses. In 1997, a group of local business people orchestrated the renovation of the landmark hotel, restoring its Spanish Colonial Revival Architecture through painstaking preservation, for which the group was awarded recognition from then Governor Pete Wilson for their steadfast commitment to Downtown Revitalization. The unique architecture, artwork, sculpture, alcoves, shaded patio and graceful fountain were meticulously preserved, returning the building to its original grandeur. A multitude of original, hand-painted wooden stencil designs adorn the ceilings and beams, as evidence to the 1,185 days and 7.5 million dollars spent on reconstruction and modernization. Hotel Woodland has been a favorite event venue for thousands of meetings and special events for more than a decade. We know you will enjoy the personality of Historic Hotel Woodland and its old-time elegance as the site of all our conference sessions.
