  • IV. Environmental Impact Analysis C. Cultural Resources
    IV. Environmental Impact Analysis C. Cultural Resources 1. Introduction This section of the Draft EIR focuses on the proposed Project’s impacts on cultural historic resources, including historic, archaeological and paleontological resources. The analysis of historic resources is based on the Historic Resources Evaluation for the University Park Campus Development Plan (USC Development Plan) prepared by Architectural Resources Group (December 2009) and the Supplemental Historic Resources report prepared by Historic Resources Group (May 2010). These reports are included as Appendix C of this Draft EIR, and are herein incorporated by reference. In addition, the analysis of potential impacts on archaeological and paleontological resources is based on records searches that were conducted as well as review of existing conditions within the site. 2. Environmental Setting a. Regulatory Framework (1) Historical Resources Several levels of government contain historic resources within their jurisdictions. The framework for the identification and, in certain instances, protection of historic resources is established at the Federal level, while the identification, documentation, and protection of such resources are often undertaken by state and local governments. The principle federal, state, and local laws governing and influencing the preservation of historic resources of national, state, regional, and local significance include the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) of 1966, as amended; the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA); the California Register of Historical Resources; Public Resources Code (PRC) 5024; and the City of Los Angeles Cultural Heritage Ordinance (Los Angeles Administrative Code, Section 22.130).
