A pedestrian field survey of the approximately 8.01- acre Project APE was required to identify potentially significant cultural resources (archaeological sites, historic buildings, structures, and objects) that could be affected by the Project. 1.1 PROJECT LOCATION The proposed Villa at Mission San Luis Rey Continuing Care Retirement Community Project (proposed “Project”) is located in the City of Oceanside (“City”), California, in northeastern San Diego County. The Project site is approximately 8.01 acres in size and is located in the southwest corner of the Mission property, bounded by the Mission Lavanderia to the east, Mission Avenue to the south and the seniors’ community of Mission Manor to the west. The County Assessor’s Parcel Number (APN) for the site is 158-065-11-00. As shown on the United States Geological Survey (USGS) 7.5-minute San Luis Rey topographic quadrangle (1968; photorevised 1975); the Project APE is located within San Diego County (Figures 1 and 2). 1.2 PROJECT DESCRIPTION The proposed Project is comprised of an irregularly shaped four-story building with a total of 222 senior living units. Of these, 92 are Supportive Independent Living units, 105 Assisted Living units, 25 Alzheimer’s/Dementia Care Units. There are a variety of common outdoor recreation areas including interpretative landscaped courtyards, pedestrian walkways, the Rose Garden, the Prayer Garden and the Plaza. 1.3 AREA OF POTENTIAL EFFECTS (APE) The Project APE consists of the horizontal and vertical limits of the Project, and includes the area within which significant impacts to historical resources could occur, as a result of the project development activities.
