The intent of the CRAR was to determine if significant cultural resources under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) could be affected by the proposed project. 2.0 LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION 2.1 LOCATION [Figs. 1-3] The Irvine Company plans to redevelop an approximately 33 acre project site known as the Santa Clara Square: Residential/Mixed Use Parcels Project is located south of U.S. Highway 101 between Bowers Avenue on the west, the San Tomas Creek Trail on the east and is north of the Central Expressway, City of Santa Clara, Santa Clara County (United States Geological Survey [hereafter USGS], Milpitas, Calif. 1980, 7.5' quadrangle topographic map, T 6S R 1W, part Section 28). The project site consists of various parcels bisected by Scott Boulevard. The three parcels in the northern portion include the future Main Street on the west (to be constructed), Augustine Drive on the north, Montgomery Drive and part of Octavius Drive on the east along with a portion of the San Tomas Creek Trail [Fig. 4]. Coronado Drive and an existing office property are included in the parcel south of Scott Boulevard [Fig. 4]. The 2010-2015 Land Use Diagram in the City of Santa Clara 2010-2035 General Plan designated the project site Light Industrial in Phase I: 2010-2015 and Phase II: 2015-2023, and High Density Residential in Phase III: 2023-2035. The construction of the proposed project will implement Phase III of the City of Santa Clara 2010-2035 General Plan within the Central Expressway Focus Area (SC/PD 2010:5-21, Fig. 5.2-1, 5-23, Fig. 5.2-3, 2010:5-43, Fig. 5.4-1). The project area comprises five development parcels with three apartment construction phases: Apartment Phase 1 - bounded by Augustine Drive on the north, Montgomery Drive on the east and Scott Boulevard on the south. This phase is adjacent to the east side of southern portion of the Augustine-Bowers Office Park Project (SC/PD 2009). Apartment Phase 2 - bounded by Augustine Drive on the north, Octavius Drive on the east, Scott Boulevard on the south and Montgomery Drive on the west. Apartment Phase 3 - bounded by Office 3 on the north, San Tomas Creek Trail on the east, Scott Boulevard on the south and Octavius Drive on the west. Apartment Phase 3A - bounded by Scott Boulevard on the north, San Tomas Creek Trail on the east, and business parks on the south and west. 2.2 DESCRIPTION The proposed Santa Clara Square: Residential/Mixed Use Parcels Project intends to compliment the adjacent office campus to the north and retail properties to the west by building an integrated, 2 walkable, live/work/play community. The project plans to demolish existing buildings within the approximately 33 acre project site. Construction of the infill, mixed-used development project would result in approximately 1,800 apartment homes, 40,000 gross square feet (gsf) retail space, 4,500 gsf leasing space and 38,000 gsf amenity space. Project site components include: dining for the residents and employees of Santa Clara Square as well as the community at large, related parking for residents, guests and overflow retail; infrastructure improvements (i.e., sewer, water and storm drainage); and, an open space and park system with access to the San Tomas Aquino Creek Trail. 2.3 AREA OF POTENTIAL EFFECTS (APE) The Area of Potential Effects (APE) includes all areas where direct or indirect impacts may occur within the four development parcels. The horizontal and vertical Area of Potential Effects (APE) of the proposed project site consists of the maximum area of surface and subsurface disturbance with anticipated excavation depths of at least ten feet below the present ground surface depending on the locations of existing and project-related utilities. Construction staging areas and temporary construction work spaces (including equipment, laydown of materials and storage of excavated materials) are anticipated and would occur within the project site. The use of these areas will not result in any subsurface impacts. 3.0 REGULATORY CONTEXT Cultural resources include prehistoric and historic archaeological sites, districts, and objects; standing historic structures, buildings, districts, and objects; and locations of important historic events or sites of traditional and/or cultural importance to various groups. The analysis of cultural resources can provide valuable information on the cultural heritage of both local and regional populations. Cultural resources may be determined significant or potentially significant in terms of national, state, or local criteria either individually or in combination. Resource evaluation criteria are determined by the compliance requirements of a specific project. 3.1 STATE OF CALIFORNIA This report has been prepared to meet applicable California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the Historic Preservation Goals and Policies of the City of Santa Clara’s General Plan for historic properties (cultural resources) which require the identification and evaluation of cultural resources that could be affected by the project. The California Register of Historical Resources (Public Resources Code Section 5024.1) is a listing of those properties that are to be protected from substantial adverse change, and it includes properties that are listed, or have been formally determined to be eligible for listing in, the National Register of Historic Places, State Historical Landmarks, and eligible Points of Historical Interest. A historical resource may be listed in the California Register of Historical Resources if it meets one or more of the following criteria: 3 It is associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of local or regional history, or the cultural heritage of California or the United States; It is associated with the lives of persons important to local, California, or national history; It embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, region, or method of construction, or represents the work of a master or possesses high artistic values; or, It has yielded or has the potential to yield information important in the prehistory or history of the local area, California, or the nation. Historical Resources Public Resources Code Section 21084.1 stipulates that any resource listed in, or eligible for listing in the California Register of Historical Resources, is presumed to be historically or culturally significant. Resources listed in a local historic register or deemed significant in a historical resource survey (as provided under Public Resources Code Section 5024.1g) are presumed historically or culturally significant unless the preponderance of evidence demonstrates they are not. A resource that is not listed in or determined to be eligible for listing in the Public Resources Code, not included in a local register or historic resources, or not deemed significant in a historical resource survey may nonetheless be historically significant (Public Resources Code Section 21084.1). This provision is intended to give the Lead Agency discretion to determine that a resource of historic significance exists where none had been identified before and to apply the requirements of Public Resources Code Section 21084.1 to properties that have not previously been formally recognized as historic.

Santa Clara 2020 is an integrated strategic five-year development plan that incorporates overall University goals in education with an Enrollment Plan and Facilities Master Plan. Santa Clara University is planning to create districts of like disciplines on campus, thus enhancing the opportunities for students and staff to work across closely allied fields. The University is also continuing its program of modernizing or replacing facilities. A significant part of Santa Clara 2020 is the University’s five-year program of capital improvement projects. The major capital projects comprise the Unified Facility for the School of Law, the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) Center, and two new residence halls. Other projects include replacement of the Cowell Center; additions to the Pat Malley Fitness Center, Benson Center, and Dunne Hall; and demolition of Kennedy Commons and the Daly Science Center.

Alan Leventhal Department of Anthropology Dr. Damian Bacich Department of World Languages and Literature ABSTRACT NATIVE AMERICAN RESPONSE AND RESISTANCE TO SPANISH CONQUEST IN THE SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA, 1769- 1846 By Gustavo Adolfo Flores Santis This study focuses on how secular, governmental, and ecclesiastical Hispanic Empire institutions influenced the response and resistance of San Francisco Native American groups from 1769 to 1846. This project draws on late 18th and early 19th century primary Spanish documents and secondary sources to help understand the context of indigenous people’s adaptive and response behaviors during this period as well as the nuances of their perspective and experience. Using both electronic and physical documents from a number of archival databases, primary Spanish documents were translated and correlated with baptismal and death mission records. This allowed for formulating alternative perspectives and putting indigenous response and resistance into context. The results of this study indicated that when acts of resistance to the colonial mission system led by charismatic Native American leaders are placed into chronological order, it appears these responses did not consist of isolated incidents.

    City of Antioch—The Ranch Project Draft EIR Cultural and Tribal Cultural Resources 3.5 - Cultural and Tribal Cultural Resources 3.5.1 - Introduction This section describes existing cultural and Tribal Cultural Resources (TCRs) in the region and project area as well as the relevant regulatory framework. This section also evaluates the possible impacts related to cultural and tribal resources that could result from implementation of the project. Information included in this section is based, in part, on a 2015 Cultural Resources Survey for The Ranch Project prepared by Tom Origer & Associates, a 2017 Cultural Resources Inventory and Evaluation Report prepared by ECORP Consulting, updated Northwest Information Center (NWIC) results, Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) correspondence, and the City of Antioch General Plan and General Plan Environmental Impact Report (EIR). All reports and correspondence are available in Appendix E. The following comments were received during the EIR scoping period related to cultural and tribal cultural resources: • Recommendations for consultation with Native American tribes consistent with Assembly Bill 52 (AB 52) and Senate Bill 18 (SB 18). 3.5.2 - Environmental Setting Cultural Resources Components The term “cultural resources” encompasses historic, archaeological, and TCRs as well as burial sites. Below is a brief summary of each component: • Historic Resources: Historic resources are associated with the recent past. In California, historic resources are typically associated with the Spanish, Mexican, and American periods in the State’s history and are generally less than 200 years old, but older than 50 years old. • Archaeological Resources: Archaeology is the study of artifacts and material culture with the aim of understanding human activities and cultures in the past.
