HRE for 164 Healdsburg Avenue, Healdsburg, Sonoma County, CA. Page I INTRODUCTION Evans & De Shazo, LLC (EDS) was contracted by Replay Healdsburg, LLC to provide an Historic Resource Evaluation (HRE) of the Nu Forest Products property located at 164 Healdsburg Avenue, Healdsburg, California (Property) to address potential significant impacts to historical resources that could result from actions associated with the proposed “Mill District” Project (Project) that includes a re-development and revitalization effort within the southern portion of the City of Healdsburg, which conforms with the "Central Healdsburg Avenue Plan” (CHAP) created by Healdsburg City Council to implement a significant program of the 2030 Healdsburg General Plan.1 As such, the City of Healdsburg has determined that the proposed Project is subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), and therefore required that an HRE be completed to determine if the Project would impact significant cultural resources. The Nu Forest property includes the 14 buildings; however, only 13 are 45-years in age or older. The HRE is based on specific guidelines and evaluation criteria of the California Register of Historic Resources (CRHR) (14 CCR §15064.5 and PRC§ 21084.1) and the City of Healdsburg historic preservation guidelines and ordinances. The HRE was conducted by EDS Principal Architectural Historian, M.A. who exceeds the Secretary of Interior's qualification standards in Architectural History and History with over 17 years of experience. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The Project includes the re-development and revitalization effort of four parcels that have been evaluated separately due to property ownership. Three of the parcels are known as Assessor’s Parcel Numbers (APN) 002-261-023, 002-261-024 and 002-303-012 located at 164 Healdsburg Avenue and includes the Nu Forest Products buildings situated within approximately 8.61-acres (Project Area) and one parcel that is located adjacent and west of the Project Area is known as APN 002-303-013, located at 146 Healdsburg Avenue and includes the Buffi Hotel. The Project would entail the proposed demolition and potential rehabilitation of 14 Nu Forest Products buildings and features, constructed between 1946 and 1970, as well as the proposed demolition of the Buffi’s Hotel (constructed in 1930). There is one building (Building 10) that was identified as previously being associated with the original use of the property, but is outside the Project Area. The Nu Forest Property is located within the southern portion of the City of Healdsburg that has been identified as part of the CHAP created by Healdsburg City Council to implement a significant program of the 2030 Healdsburg General Plan.2 A preliminary design for the proposed Mill District Project been submitted to the City of Healdsburg and includes residential and commercial development as set forth in CHAP. The Buffi’s Hotel was previously evaluated by EDS Architectural Historian, Stacey De Shazo in 2015 (updated in March 2017). The evaluation determined that the building was not eligible for listing on the California Register Historic Resources (De Shazo 2015) (Attachment B).

According to California Code of Regulations Section 15064.5, cultural resources are historically significant if they are: • Listed in, or eligible for listing in the California Register of Historic Resources (CRHR) (Public Resources Code 5024.1, Title 14 CCR, Section 4850 et. seq.); • Listed in, or eligible for listing in, the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP); • Included in a local register of historical resources, as defined in an historical resource survey meeting the requirements of Section 5024.1(g) of the Public Resource Code; or • Any object, building, structure, site, area, place, record, or manuscript which a lead agency determines to be historically significant or significant in the architectural, engineering, scientific, economic, agricultural, educational, social, political, military, or cultural annals of California, provided the lead agency’s determination is supported by substantial evidence in light of the whole record. California Environmental Quality Act CEQA and the Guidelines for Implementing CEQA (State CEQA Guidelines, Section 15064.5) give direction and guidance for evaluation of properties and the preparation of Initial Studies, Categorical Exemptions, Negative Declarations and Environmental Impact Reports.

    3.5 CULTURAL AND TRIBAL CULTURAL RESOURCES 3.5 CULTURAL AND TRIBAL CULTURAL RESOURCES This section presents the environmental setting and impact analysis for cultural and tribal cultural resources that would be affected by the proposed project. Appendix E presents maps of the cultural resource pedestrian survey areas and copies of communications with the California Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) and local Native American tribes in the region of the proposed project. 3.5.1 Definitions Cultural Resources Cultural resources in the State of California are recognized as non-renewable resources that require management to assure their benefit to present and future Californians. Cultural resources are generally defined as prehistoric and historic sites, structures, landscapes, districts, and any other physical evidence associated with human activity considered important to a culture, a subculture, or a community for scientific, traditional, religious, or any other reason. Cultural resources in CEQA are commonly categorized as either historical resources or archaeological resources because CEQA requires an analysis of a project’s effect on historical and archaeological resources. Historical Resources CEQA's provisions governing analysis of historical resources are set forth in PRC § 21084.1 and CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.5(a)-(b). CEQA includes objects of historical significance in its definition of "environment" (PRC § 21060.5). Per CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.5, the term “historical resources” is defined as: 1. A resource listed in, or determined to be eligible by the State Historical Resources Commission, for listing in the California Register of Historical Resources (CRHR). This resource can be of either historic or prehistoric age.
