VICE CHAIRPERSON Re: Native American Tribal Consultation, Pursuant to the Assembly Bill 52 (AB 52), Amendments Reginald Pagaling to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (Chapter 532, Statutes of 2014), Public Chumash Resources Code Sections 5097.94 (m), 21073, 21074, 21080.3.1, 21080.3.2, 21082.3, 21083.09, 21084.2 and 21084.3, The Seacliff of Huntington Beach Inspired Senior Living Project, Orange SECRETARY County Merri Lopez-Keifer Luiseño Dear Mr. Beckman: PARLIAMENTARIAN Russell Attebery Pursuant to Public Resources Code section 21080.3.1 (c), attached is a consultation list of tribes Karuk that are traditionally and culturally affiliated with the geographic area of the above-listed project. Please note that the intent of the AB 52 amendments to CEQA is to avoid and/or COMMISSIONER mitigate impacts to tribal cultural resources, (Pub. Resources Code §21084.3 (a)) (“Public Marshall McKay agencies shall, when feasible, avoid damaging effects to any tribal cultural resource.”) Wintun

Public Resources Code sections 21080.3.1 and 21084.3(c) require CEQA lead agencies to COMMISSIONER consult with California Native American tribes that have requested notice from such agencies William Mungary of proposed projects in the geographic area that are traditionally and culturally affiliated with Paiute/White Mountain Apache the tribes on projects for which a Notice of Preparation or Notice of Negative Declaration or Mitigated Negative Declaration has been filed on or after July 1, 2015. Specifically, Public Resources Code section 21080.3.1 (d) provides: COMMISSIONER

Joseph Myers Pomo Within 14 days of determining that an application for a project is complete or a decision by a public agency to undertake a project, the lead agency shall provide formal notification to the designated contact of, or a tribal representative of, traditionally and culturally affiliated COMMISSIONER Julie Tumamait- California Native American tribes that have requested notice, which shall be accomplished by Stenslie means of at least one written notification that includes a brief description of the proposed Chumash project and its location, the lead agency contact information, and a notification that the California Native American tribe has 30 days to request consultation pursuant to this section. COMMISSIONER [Vacant] The AB 52 amendments to CEQA law does not preclude initiating consultation with the tribes that are culturally and traditionally affiliated within your jurisdiction prior to receiving requests for EXECUTIVE SECRETARY notification of projects in the tribe’s areas of traditional and cultural affiliation. The Native Christina Snider American Heritage Commission (NAHC) recommends, but does not require, early consultation Pomo as a best practice to ensure that lead agencies receive sufficient information about cultural resources in a project area to avoid damaging effects to tribal cultural resources.

NAHC HEADQUARTERS The NAHC also recommends, but does not require that agencies should also include with their 1550 Harbor Boulevard notification letters, information regarding any cultural resources assessment that has been Suite 100 completed on the area of potential effect (APE), such as: West Sacramento, California 95691 (916) 373-3710 1. The results of any record search that may have been conducted at an Information Center of [email protected] the California Historical Resources Information System (CHRIS), including, but not limited to: NAHC.ca.gov

Page 1 of 2

• A listing of any and all known cultural resources that have already been recorded on or adjacent to the APE, such as known archaeological sites; • Copies of any and all cultural resource records and study reports that may have been provided by the Information Center as part of the records search response; • Whether the records search indicates a low, moderate, or high probability that unrecorded cultural resources are located in the APE; and • If a survey is recommended by the Information Center to determine whether previously unrecorded cultural resources are present.

2. The results of any archaeological inventory survey that was conducted, including:

• Any report that may contain site forms, site significance, and suggested mitigation measures.

All information regarding site locations, Native American human remains, and associated funerary objects should be in a separate confidential addendum, and not be made available for public disclosure in accordance with Government Code section 6254.10.

3. The result of any Sacred Lands File (SLF) check conducted through the Native American Heritage Commission. The request form can be found at http://nahc.ca.gov/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Local-Government-Tribal- Consultation-List-Request-Form-Update.pdf

4. Any ethnographic studies conducted for any area including all or part of the APE; and

5. Any geotechnical reports regarding all or part of the APE.

Lead agencies should be aware that records maintained by the NAHC and CHRIS are not exhaustive and a negative response to these searches does not preclude the existence of a tribal cultural resource. A tribe may be the only source of information regarding the existence of a tribal cultural resource.

This information will aid tribes in determining whether to request formal consultation. In the event that they do, having the information beforehand will help to facilitate the consultation process.

If you receive notification of change of addresses and phone numbers from tribes, please notify the NAHC. With your assistance, we can assure that our consultation list remains current.

If you have any questions, please contact me at my email address: [email protected].

Sincerely,

Andrew Green Cultural Resources Analyst

April 13, 2020 RE: AB 52 Notice of Opportunity to Consult for the Seacliff of Huntington Beach Inspired Senior Living Project Dear Native American Tribal Leaders: The City of Huntington Beach has initiated environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) for the Seacliff of Huntington Beach Inspired Senior Living project, located at the northeast corner of Main Street at Yorktown Avenue. The project site is currently developed with five office buildings (2100, 2120, 2124, 2130, and 2134 Main Street) and the proposed project includes a request to construct a new three- story, 281,061 square foot licensed assisted living and memory care facility with 226 guest rooms designed within a single building, including a subterranean parking structure with 234 parking stalls. The proposed building will replace one existing office building (2120 Main). The project location map is enclosed for your information. The components of the request are as follows: Conditional Use Permit No. 2019-025 – To permit an approximately 281,061 sq. ft. assisted living and memory care facility on a lot with more than a 3 ft. grade differential; Design Review No. 2019-015 - To review the design, colors, and materials of the proposed assisted living and memory care facility; Tentative Parcel Map No. 2020-128 – To subdivide one existing 11.29 acre parcel into four parcels (6.57 acres, 1.14 acres, 1.87 acres, 1.71 acres). Environmental Assessment No. 2020-001 – To analyze the potential environmental impacts associated with the project. We are hereby notifying you of an opportunity to consult with us regarding the potential for this project to impact Tribal Cultural Resources, as defined in Section 21074 of the PRC. As part of the CEQA process, the purpose of tribal consultation under AB 52 is to determine whether or not Tribal Cultural Resources are present within the project area, and if so, whether or not those resources will be significantly impacted by the project. If Tribal Cultural Resources may be significantly impacted, then consultation would help to determine the most appropriate way to avoid or mitigate those impacts.

In accordance with Section 21080.3.1(d) of the PRC, you have 30 days from the receipt of this letter to request AB 52 consultation in writing for this project. Please send your written request to Hayden Beckman at 2000 Main Street, Huntington Beach, CA 92648 or by email to [email protected]. In your request for consultation, please reference the project name. Thank you and we look forward to your response. Regards,

Hayden Beckman Senior Planner

CHAIRPERSON Laura Miranda Via Email to: [email protected] Luiseño

VICE CHAIRPERSON Re: The Seacliff of Huntington Beach Inspired Senior Living Project, Orange County Reginald Pagaling Chumash Dear Mr. Beckman: SECRETARY Merri Lopez-Keifer A record search of the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) Sacred Lands File (SLF) Luiseño was completed for the information you have submitted for the above referenced project. The results were positive. Please contact the Juaneno Band of Mission Indians Acjachemen Nation - PARLIAMENTARIAN Belardes on the attached list for more information. Other sources of cultural resources should Russell Attebery also be contacted for information regarding known and recorded sites. Karuk Attached is a list of Native American tribes who may also have knowledge of cultural resources COMMISSIONER in the project area. This list should provide a starting place in locating areas of potential Marshall McKay adverse impact within the proposed project area. I suggest you contact all of those indicated; Wintun if they cannot supply information, they might recommend others with specific knowledge. By

contacting all those listed, your organization will be better able to respond to claims of failure to COMMISSIONER consult with the appropriate tribe. If a response has not been received within two weeks of William Mungary notification, the Commission requests that you follow-up with a telephone call or email to Paiute/White Mountain Apache ensure that the project information has been received.

If you receive notification of change of addresses and phone numbers from tribes, please notify COMMISSIONER me. With your assistance, we can assure that our lists contain current information. [Vacant]

If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact me at my email COMMISSIONER address: [email protected]. Julie Tumamait- Stenslie Chumash Sincerely,
