Hawthorne Mill Project Section 106 Cultural Resources Assessment Management Summary MANAGEMENT SUMMARY At the request of the City of Fairfield, Michael Brandman Associates (MBA) conducted a cultural resource investigation that included record search reviews and a field survey of the proposed Hawthorne Mill Project (project) Area of Potential Effect (APE), located within the City of Fairfield in Solano County, California (Exhibit 1). The project site encompasses approximately 411 acres of a 453.8-acre site located in the northwest portion of the City of Fairfield, within the city limits. The 453.8-acre site is an irregular polygon located approximately three miles east of Interstate 80, north of Airbase Parkway, south of Cement Hill Road and west of Peabody Road. The Union Pacific Railroad tracks form the southern border of the project site. The site is bisected by McCoy Creek and surrounds the McCoy Basin. The McCoy Basin is situated near the southwestern corner of the property and is owned by the Bureau of Reclamation and managed by the Solano County Irrigation District. It encompasses 42 acres that lie within the project’s boundaries but which will not be developed as part of this project. Since the proposed project would affect the waters of the United States, the project proponent must meet the requirements of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act and therefore, is seeking a permit from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The purpose of this report is to document the presence/absence of any potentially significant cultural resources located within the project’s Area of Potential Effect (APE), and, if significant resources would be affected by the proposed project, to propose recommendations to mitigate the effects, which might include a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) or other protective measures. Completion of this investigation fulfills the protocols associated with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA). The APE for the proposed project consists of the areas and resources that could potentially be directly or indirectly affected by the proposed project. As the project is located within a partially developed area, the APE was determined to consist of the 411-acre project area. A records search was conducted by staff at the Northwest Information Center (NWIC), Rohnert Park, on March 10, 2009. To identify any historic properties or resources, the current inventories of the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP), the California Register of Historical Resources

The rapid advance of technology and the growing influence of the millennial generation, among other trends, have created both new challenges and opportunities for shopping center owners. In light of this, how will the modern shopping center be different five years from now, and how can organizations position themselves for success in what is likely to be a radically different business environment? Over the past year, the International Council of Shopping Centers (ICSC) and its global Board of Trustees embarked on a project, titled Envision 2020, aimed at identifying a way forward for the industry by shining a light on the best practices and themes shaping retail real estate. Those findings, referred to as “bold statements,” are chronicled in this report. In the following pages, you will find an overview of eight game-changing concepts identified by the Board of Trustees after extensive internal debate and input from multiple stakeholders.
