The Project involves the construction of a three-story, age-qualified apartment building on an undeveloped portion of the Novitiate property. Cogstone completed a search for archaeological and historical records within a 1-mile radius of the Project Area at the South Central Coastal Information Center (SCCIC) at California State University at Fullerton on January 26, 2016. Results indicate that 18 cultural resources investigations have been completed previously
