HomeMy WebLinkAboutHISTORIC PRESERVATIONINTERMODAL SURFACE TRANSPORTATION EFFICIENCY ACT
On December 18, 1991, President Bush signed the
Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991
(ISTEA) (Public Law 102-240). Section 1007, entitled TRANS-
PORTATION ENHANCEMENTS, requires each State to
spend 10% of its Surface Transportation Program (STP)
apportionment for transportation enhancements. Trans-
portation enhancement activities are defined as any of the
following uses of funds with respect to any project or the
area to be served by the project:
— provisions for pedestrian and bicycle facilities
— purchase scenic and historic easements and scenic or
historic sites
— scenic or historic highway program
— historic preservation
— landscaping and other scenic beautification
— rehabilitation and operation of historic transportation
buildings
— preservation of abandoned railway corridors
and conversion to pedestrian or bicycle trail
— control and removal of outdoor advertising
— archeological planning and research
— mitigation of water pollution due to highway runoff
Although federal regulations are not yet written, it is clear
that preservationists should immediately begin taking the
following steps:
* Identify and document potential projects. Information
should be developed on acquisition/rehab costs, project
management, maintenance and operation plans, etc.
* Become involved with your regional Transportation
Improvement Plan (TIP) process. Contact your local
planning office to find out when your Regional Trans-
portation Planning Organization meets. The TIP will
be crucial in determining enhancement priorities and
criteria in each region of the state. Preservation inter-
ests should be represented at the public meetings.
The Transportation Facilities Enhancement Office in
Caltrans will be the facilitator in California for potential
projects. For further information, contact Mr. Ed Kress,
Chief of the Transportation Facilities Enhancement Office,
Caltrans, 1120 N Street, Sacramento, CA 95814, (916) 654-
4817. He has indicated he hopes to receive input from a
wide variety of organizations. Guidelines for the planning
process will be provided shortly by the Transportation
Facilities Enhancement Office. o

1992 GOVERNOR'S PRESERVATION
AWARD RECIPIENTS
This year Mrs. Gayle Wilson, representing Governor
Pete Wilson, presented the 1992 Governor's Historic Pres-
ervation Awards during National Historic Preservation
Week in California. The ceremonies were held in the
Governor's Reception Room on May 12, 1992, in Sacra-
mento.
During 1992 Historic Preservation Week in California,
May 10-16, Governor Wilson especially commended eight
organizations for their efforts to help protect our state's
heritage and for projects that have demonstrated an out-
standing commitment to excellence in historic preserva-
tion.
Michael Mantell, Undersecretary for Resources, pre-
sented the following recipients to Mrs. Wilson:
Mr. Dale James, Regional Environmental Officer, ac-
cepted the award for the Environmental Office of the San
Francisco Regional Office, U. S. Department of Housing
and Urban Development, which saluted them for an out-
standing job of providing leadership, training, and guid-
ance, in the area of historic preservation, to both your own
agency and to local governments with community devel-
opment programs."
Ms. Karen Donaldson, Curator of the Kentucky Mine
Park and Museum, and Ms. Brenda Mitchell, Administra-
tive Assistant for the Sierra County Board of Sypervisors,
SHRC HONOR
NATIVE AMERICANS
The May 1, 1992 meeting of the State Historical Resources
Commission, held at Chaw se' Indian Grinding Rock State
Historic Parks in Amador County, was a busy and enlight-
ening one. This special meeting was held to recognize
California's Native Americans.
The following Native American groups were represented:
Native American Heritage Commission by Larry Myers,
Executive Secretary, and Bill Mungary, Chairperson; De-
partment of Parks and Recreation's Native American Advi-
sory Council by Mr. Dan Abeyta, Assistant Director for
Cooperating Associations and Minority Community Devel-
opment, Mr. Clarence Brown, Chairman, and Ms. Sylvia
White, Member; and Amador Tribal Council by Mr. Alvin
Walloupe, Chairman.
Mr. Richard M. Milanovich, a member of the State His-
torical Resources Commission and the Agua Caliente Indian
Tribal Chairman, indicated that "in consideration of the fact
that this Commission is the official Governor's Commission
for California's Quincentenary Commemoration of Colum-
bus' Discovery of America, I would like to express my public
thanks to the Commission members and staff for agreeing to
meet here at this time at Indian Grinding Rock State Historic
Park during this year of recognition of Columbus but also in
light of and recognition of native people themselves. It does
my heart good to know that members of this state
commission.... can understand the importance to recognize
the native people and their efforts and concerns...."
Judge Gordon Cologne, husband of CommissionerPatricia
Cologne, former State Senator, and former Justice servingon
the State Fourth District Court of Appeal, presented a reso-
lution on behalf of Senator Henry J. Mello, Chairman of the
Senate Special Committee for the 1992 California
Quincentennial of the Voyages of Christopher Columbus to
the State Historical Resources Commission, Native Ameri-
can Heritage Commission and Department of Parks and
Recreation's Native American Advisory Council.
Senator Mello acknowledged the special effort of the
State Historical Resources Commission for taking the occa-
sion of this meeting to recognize the contributions of this
intrepid explorer who brought to America the attention of
the European community and also the role of the Native
Americans who witnessed his arrival. Further, the Senate
Rules Committee of the California Legislature appreciates
the State Historical Resources Commission's recognition of
the importance of these two cultures as being a veryreal part
of California's great heritage.
OHP AND STATE HISTORICAL
RESOURCES COMMISSION INVITE PUBLIC
INPUT ON 1992-93 STATE HISTORIC
PRESERVATION PROGRAM
Each year at this time, the Office of Historic Preservation
(OHP) and the State Historical Resources Commission
(SHRC) ask for your views on the current state historic
preservation program and for your specific ideas and
suggestions on how the program might be changed and
improved. Your input on all aspects of the program will
play an important role in helping to shape the nature and
direction of our policies, priorities and decisions for the
next several years.
As we prepare this request for your input, the State is
facing a budgetary crisis of unprecedented proportions. In
order to balance the budget, major program and spending
cuts beyond those already underway may be necessary.
Within the Department of Parks and Recreation, of which
OHP is one division, a substantial cut in revenues affecting
both personnel and operating expenses will be imple-
mented unless additional funds are forthcoming. The clo-
sure of some state park units is contemplated, and the
entire department is currently being reorganized to reduce
costs and promote efficiency.
OHP's ability to maintain its current programs and level
of public service will be affected by the manner in which
this budget crisis is resolved. A decline in state revenues
means greater reliance on available" federal funds and a
focus on programs these federal funds are intended to
support. Such programs include the National Register,
Certified Local Governments, and federal project review.
OHP state programs typically not eligible for federal assis-
tance may suffer. These include the California Registered
Historical Landmark and Point of Historical Interest pro-
grams.
On a brighter note, there is a good possibility that
legislation establishing a California Register of Historical
Resources will be approved by the Legislature and signed
by the Governor this year. Assembly Bill 2881, authored by
Robert C. Frazee, is strongly supported by the Resources
Agency and the preservation constituency. If signed into
law, the bill would realize one of the major goals of the 1984
Heritage Task Force Report.
Implementing the California Register will require addi-
tional staff and revenues. So far requests for both have been
approved. However, given the depth of the current budget
crisis, there is a chance that these requests may ultimately
not survive the budget resolution process.
Also, the California Heritage Fund legislation, Assem-
bly Bill 3755, authored by Chris Chandler, will be heard
during this session.
Even though circumstances may constrain OHP's abil-
ity to consider and implement an expanded state preserva-
tion program in the foreseeable future, they should not
deter you from sending us your comments and sugges-
tions. In fact, your ideas will be more important than ever
in helping us to allocate our resources in the most efficient
and responsive way. Receipt of your comments in writing
by September 13,1992, will ensure that they -are taken into
account as we develop our 1992/1993 program overview
and action plan. All comments should be directed to the
attention of Sandra J. Elder, Staff Services Analyst, in the
Office of Historic Preservation. ❑
FROM THE ACTING
STATE HISTORIC PRESERVATION OFFICER
Governor Pete Wilson officially designated May 10 -17
1992 as California Preservation Week. To celebrate, a re-
ception was held in Sacramento sponsored by preserva-
tion organizations at national, state and local levels. This
was the first, I hope, of what will become an annual
Heritage Day, an opportunity to reflect upon and to cel-
ebrate the achievements of the past year and to plan for the
coming year, as well as to strengthen the growing partner-
ships in the preservation community.
During Preservation week, which was also California
Archeology Week, Mrs. Gayle Wilson presented the 1992
Governor's Preservation Awards to eight recipients in
recognition of their special efforts on behalf of historic
preservation in California.
The 1992 State Preservation Conference will be long
remembered. Eureka is a beautiful city and the appropriate
location for the Conference. The success of the Conference
and large number -of attendees confirm this opinion. The
inclusion of folklife heritage issues and the prominent role
of Native Americans in the Conference activities are an'
exciting new direction, as the preservation movement
needs new partners and broader support.
The Conference was certainly at the right place at the
right time. The April 25 Petrolia Earthquake and after-
shocks kept the conference shaking. Technical assistance
was quickly provided to Ferndale and other affected areas.
Fortunately, no lives were lost and efforts are underway to
help with the recovery.
With the help of Resources Agency, the Office of His-
toric Preservation is working to put into place a formal
agreement with the Office of Emergency Services for this
and future disasters. We are also providing federal money
for workshops and technical assistance in Humboldt
County and Los Angeles.
The Los Angeles disaster has raised many questions.
The nature of this disaster, the broad social impacts;, and
the appropriate means of assistance are open to much
discussion. As this disaster tests the effectiveness of the
government social programs, it will test the purpose of the
preservation community. The broader gains of multicul-
tural diversity, community awareness, and neighborhood
conservation, as well as preservation of the built environ-
ment, are important goals for any assistance.
Certainly 1992 has seen significant movement for
California's preservation programs. Governor Wilson's
new Executive Order for state agencies substantially in-
creases the protection of state owned historic properties.
(con't page 3)
(con's from page 1)
accepted the award on behalf of the Sierra County Historical
Society. Governor Wilson's letter of commendation stated
that'"The Sierra County Historical Society deserves recogni-
tion for its creative and effective operation of the Kentucky
Mine Park and Museum, one of the earliest quartz mines in
the County."
Ms. Sally Punte, Chairperson of the Mariposa County
Board of Supervisors, and Mr. Scott Pinkerton, Director for
the Mariposa Museum and History Center, represented the
Mariposa County Board of Supervisors, which was com-
mended for "your commitment to the successful and sensi-
tive rehabilitation of the County's 1854 Greek Revival Court-
house."
Mr. Bill Coates, Member of the Plumas County Board of
Supervisors, and Mr. Wayne Thornton, Forest Supervisors
for the Plumas National Forest, accepted the award for the
Plumas County Board of Supervisors, which recognized
"your commitment to the successful preservation of
Beckwourth's Cabin in Plumas County."
Mr. Richard Rose, Project Architect, and Ms. Stacy Shishima,
Assistant Project Architect, accepted the award on behalf of
the congregation of the Church of the Angels, Pasadena,
which is recognized because of "your commitment to the
successful seismic restoration of the church and the recon-
struction of the destroyed tower,.damaged✓iht uake
of 1977 "
r. John Foster, Senior State Archeologist, Ms. Betty Riv-
ers, Associate State Archeologist, and Mr. Hal Bradshaw,
Superintendent for Lake Oroville District, represent e
Resource Protection Division of the State Department of
Parks and Recreation which was commended because of "the
development of the 'Fragile Archeological Site Rehabilita-
tion' program to protect archeological resources from
effects of erosion and vandalism."
accepted the away ngame Avenue Properties
which was commended by Governor Wilson "for your posi-
tive commitment in seismically stabilizing an historical sig-
nificant building severely damaged during the Loma Prieta
Earthquake of October 1989."
At a later date, Mr. Joe Hall, City of Santa Cruz Redevelop-
ment Agency, accepted an award for the City of Santa Cruz for
its "commitment for assisting in the successful seismic reha-
bilitation of the Palomar Inn in Santa Cruz." o
(con't from page 1)
Resolutions were also presented to the Native American
Heritage Commission, accepted by Mr. Larry Myers, and
Native American AdvisoryCouncil, accepted by Mr. Clarence
Brown.
�Mr. Milanovich initiated a motion that the State Historical
Resources Commission adopt a Resolution of Recognition to
==T officially recognize California's Native Americans during
July 1, 1992 through June 30,1993, in conjunction with similar
recognition by the United States Congress and the United
Nations.
"WHEREAS prior to the presence of Europeans, in what
is now California, Native people have resided in California for
thousands of years; and
WHEREAS as a result of disease, brutality, and other
factors, the Native people suffered dramatic decline in their
population; and
WHEREAS despite these loses, the contribution made by
f
7
these first Californians has provided for varied cultural
experiences and has enriched the heritage of all Califor-
nians; and
WHEREAS the Congress of the United States in Senate
Joint Resolution 217 has requested the President to pro-
claim 1992 the year of the American Indian; and
WHEREAS the United Nations has recognized 1993 as
the International Year for the World's Indigenous People;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MEM-
BERS OF THE STATE HISTORICAL RESOURCES COM-
MISSION that official recognition be given to California's
Native Americans during July 1, 1992 through June 30,1993
and ask that all Californians take this time to consider the
contributions made by these first Californians.
This Resolution of Recognition is hereby unanimously
approved and adopted by the State Historical Resources
Commission this first day of May 1992."
One form of recognition was the Commission's recom-
mendation of California Registered Historical Landmark
status for the Chaw se' Roundhouse as part of the thematic?,
group entitled California Native American Ceremonial
Roundhouses.

most recently asRegional Director of DPR'sSouthernRegion.
In January 1992, Director Murphy selected a representa-
tive group of department employees, identified as the Phoe-
nix Committee, and charged it with two tasks:
1. Develop a new organizational structure which would
allow for a $22.9 million budget reduction; and
2. Evaluate the current functions of the department
and recommend changes to provide for more
effective delivery of public services.

objectives and several major points of agreement. The Com-
mittee will develop recommendations for the scope and
intensity of recordation activities, recommend consistent ap-
proaches to the collection and retrieval of inventory data, and
include provisions to make the inventory system accessible to
all user groups, as appropriate.
One major point of agreement is the use of a tiered or
layered system of recordation, as opposed to the use of
separate recordation forms for variouscategoriesof resources.
A layered system includes a brief universal data sheet, more
detailed subforms for specific resource types, an evaluation
layer, and a management tracking layer.
The next meeting of the Inventory Review Committee is
scheduled for August 3 and 4, 1992. Those of you who are
involved in the inventory process, from surveyactivity to data
management, are encouraged to contribute your thoughts
and ideas. Planners and Certified Local Governments in
particular are encouraged to offer suggestions as to how the
inventory review process can best meet your particular needs.
Please contact Thad Van Bueren at (916) 920-7253 if you
have any questions about the inventory review process or the
committee activities in general. Bill Seidel, Eugene Itogawa,
and Jan Wooley of the OHP staff are also available to discuss
your ideas and suggestions, and may be contacted through
the main office number (916) 653-6624. ❑
. Personnel News
OFFICE OF HISTORIC PRESERVATION
The OHP has had a few additional personnel changes and
new job assignments since our last newsletter.
On February 1, 1992, Marci Breisacher came back to OHP
as the Office Technician for the National Register Unit. Mara
worked for the Project Review Unit for two months in 1988.
She has broaden her knowledge of the State Park System by
working in the Public Relations Section and the Director's
Office. Besides performing the daily duties for the National
Register Unit, Marci is also the Recording Secretary for the
State Historical Resources Commission.
March 11, 1992 was Cheryl Le Masters' first day in OHP as
a Seasonal Clerk. She is a recent graduate of the Sacramento
Business Skill Center. Her computer skills are a great asset to
our office.
Helen Hernandez, who started to work for OHP in 1990 as
our receptionist and backup in the National Register and the
Tax Certification Units, has left for a full-time permanent
position with the State Compensation Insurance Fund.
At the end of January, Dorene Clement transferred from
her position in the Project Review Unit to the Environmental
Analysis Section at CALTRANS. Her quick wit and her
expert editing ability are missed. We wish Dorene well in her
new position.
To fill behind Dorene, Clarence Caesar was reassigned
from reviewing Landmark and Point applications to the
Project Review Unit. His background in California history
will assist him in his new assignment. Sandra Elder has been
temporarily assigned the Landmark and Point programs to
add to her many other responsibilities.
To date Steade Craigo is still the Acting State Historic
Preservation Officer. o
New Publications and Information
The Department of Parks and Recreation has just pub-

DEPARTMENT OF
PARKS AND RECREATION UPDATE
Governor Pete Wilson has appointed four people to assist
Department of Parks and Recreation Director Donald W.
Murphy in the department.
I (con't page 7)
(con't from page 2)
The California Register for Historic Resources, AB 2881,
continues through the State Legislature. The California
Heritage Fund is also an highly important bill, which will
provide financial assistance for preservation planning and
resource protection, including disaster recovery.
On May 1, the SHRC met at Indian Grinding Rock with
representatives of the Native American Heritage Commis-
sion and Department of Parks and Recreation Native
American Advisory Council. This was a symbolic joining
of the shared interests and concerns that these organiza-
tions have for heritage preservation. The State Senate Rules
Committee presented each with a resolution recognizing
their significant efforts.
The State Historical Resources Commission also passed
a resolution declaring 1992 - 93 as the year to recognize
California's Native Americans.
The recent disasters have crea ted new challenging prob-
lems and questions. But the strength of the preservation
community, the growing partnerships, and new friends
have made possible effective response. Community in-
volvement and outreach are critical to the success of any
preservation program as historic properties can only be
preserved if they are recognized as important to all people,
part of our shared public heritage.
In closing, I would like to add that Kathryn Gualtieri is
very much missed in the Office of Historic Preservation.
Her guidance through very tough years of tight budgets;
hiring freezes, and difficult times was very critical to the
Office's survival. Most importantly, her personal.contacts
and close working relationships helped to establish the
framework for the new direction of the State Preservation
Program and the Office of Historic Preservation. ❑
RESTORED BECKWOURTH CABIN
The morning of October 4,1991 saw a crowd of nearly
250 people witness the dedication of the restored
Beckwourth Cabin, one of California's most significant
3
historic resources, in the little town of Beckwourth, located
30 miles southeast of Quincy in Plumas County. The cabin's
significance to California's history is framed by its connec-
tion to its builder James P. Beckwourth, an African-Ameri-
can trapper, scout, and mountain man who, in 1851, dis-
covered the Beckwourth Pass, the lowest route through the
northern Sierra Nevada.
The cabin lies less than a quarter mile south of the route
which is now part of State Highway 70. During the 1850s
and 1860s, it was a welcome stop to emigrants using the
Beckwourth Pass on their .way to Marysville and other
parts of central California. It is the oldest structure in
Plumas Countyand the last remaining artifact of the "moun-
tain men", according to Chuck James, an archeologist with
the U.S. National Forest Service.
The Beckwourth Cabin restoration was accomplished
by the efforts of volunteers coordinated through the Plumas
County Community Development Agency. Major funding
for the project was provided with state bond grant funds
awarded by the California State Department of Parks and
Recreation and administered by the State Office of Historic
Preservation (OHP). The grant amount awarded the project
by the OHP totaled $38,000. .
According to John Sheehan, Restoration Project Direc
tor, theeight year project involved hundredsof volunteers,
including many from the local offices of various County,
State, and Federal agencies. Thousands of hours of time
and labor were expended to ensure that the restoration was
accomplished with as little change as possible to the his-
toric fabric of the structure. The interior and exteriorclosely.
approximate their original appearance and the rustic set-
ting will assist in enhancing the visitors' experience.
Schoolchildren from nearby Portola and otherarea towns
paid close attention to the dedication ceremony, as well as
the historic reenactments and the many volunteers in
costume. Enthusiasts of the early mountain man tradition
provided costumed characterizationsof James Beckwourth
by Vernal Williams of Sutter, and a young Ina Coolbrith by
Keara Nasbet. A plaque honoring Beckwourth was dedi-
cated by the Las Plumas Del Oro Chapter of E Clampus
Vitus as part of a monument to the man and his accom-
plishments in Plumas County.
The sparsely furnished site will be open to visitors on a
seasonal basis, and during special events. Volunteer do-
cents from the Plumas-Eureka State Park and the Plumas
County Historical Museum have expressed an interest in
developing a similar program for the Cabin.
The dedication ceremony was the start of three days of
festivities honoring James Beckwourth and other pioneers
of the area christened "Beckwourth Western Days." A
cooperative effort of Plumas and Yuba counties, the City of
Marysville, local chambers of commerce, and several busi-
ness co-sponsors, the event also served as a commemora-
tion of the opening of the Beckwourth Trail. A 140 mile
bicycle trip on a route roughly equivalent to the route from
Beckwourth to Marysville marked the closing ceremony at
the cabin. Upon arrival in Marysville, cyclists participated
in a parade marking thebeginning of local festivities in that
city. 0

INCREASED PROTECTION
FOR STATE OWNED
CULTURAL RESOURCES _
EXECUTIVE ORDER W-26-92
On April 8,1992, Governor Pete Wilson signed an execu-
tive order that provides a series of very important protections
to the State's significant cultural and historic resources, in-
cluding buildings, sites, districts, and artifacts.
"Heritage resources provide not only continuity with our
past, but foster community pride, stimulate economic activ-
ity, improve housing, enhance the quality of life and draw
hundreds of visitors to California every year," Wilson said.
The Executive Order also stated that "because of their loca-
tion, age, and the construction materials used, many of our
important historical buildings and historic sites may beat risk
from deterioration, destruction, and natural disasters."
The Govemor's Order provides that "all state agencies
shall recognize and, to the extent prudent and feasible within
existing budget and personnel resources, preserve and main-
tain the significant heritage resources of the State." Each State
agency is required to administer the properties under its
control in a spirit of stewardship for future generations.
Currently, the State's Public Resources Code provides that
each State agency is required to prepare an inventory of all
buildings under its jurisdiction that are over 50 years old and
eligible for the National Register or State Historical Landmark
status. Any project significantly affecting an historic struchire,
listed or eligible for registers, is reviewed by the Office of
Historic Preservation in order that steps can be taken to avoid
harmful impacts.
Now, each agency is asked to designate an Agency Preser-
vation Officer to insure the significant properties are invento-
ried and protected. By January 1994, these officers will submit
their agencies' plans for preservation and management of
resources of historic, architectural or archeological impor-
tance.
In addition, the Office of Historic Preservation will work
with each preservation officer to establish effective manage-
ment strategies for protecting historic properties.
The Order states that "preservation and wise use of historic
resources must include consideration of cost- effectiveness
and fostering private sector incentives, and state agencies
must consider these and other public interests in their deci-
sion-making processes."
Furthermore, the Governor's Order calls upon the Re-
sources Agency to provide guidance in the application of the
California Environmental Quality Act, especially those sec-
tions dealing with emergencies. If necessary, the Agency will
adopt clarifying regulations to better insure the protection of
the State's significant properties.
CALIFORNIA REGISTER
On the twentieth anniversary of Earth Day, April 22,
1991, Governor Wilson announced a program for the con-
servation of California's natural and cultural resources.
The plan, entitled 'Resourceful California," called for im-
proving the protection of significant cultural and historic
resources by creating a California Register.
. As a result, the Office of Historic Preservation has devel-
oped two new program proposals. The first, introduced in
the Legislature as AB 2881 (Frazee), would establish the
California Register of Historical Resources. The second, a
proposed amendment to AB 3755 (Chandler), would create
the California Heritage Fund, grants authority to the Office
of Historic Preservation to acquire property, and provide
loans and grant for preservation activities throughout the
State.
The California Register bill was heard in May in the
Assembly, before moving to the Senate. The Bill left the
Senate Natural Resources Committee for the Senate Fiscal
Committee on June 23. It has had very little serious oppo-
sition, due to discussions held with key government agen-
cies and public interest groups early in the process in order
to develop a workable program.
The California Heritage Fund, AB3755, proposal has
moved very quickly, going from a general concept early in
January to a well developed program proposal by June.
Although the need for these programs was identified in
the California Heritage Task Force Report produced in
1984, previous efforts to create a California Register have
been unsuccessful. Reintroduced in concept in the 1991
Annual Report of the Resources Agency, both the bill and
.the proposed amendment have the strong and active sup-
port of the Secretary for Resources, Douglas Wheeler,
Undersecretary for Resources; Michael Mantell, and Assis-
tant Secretary, Intergovernmental Relations, Carol
Whiteside.
Meetings with the Resources Agency, statewide preser-
vation organizations and representatives of local govern-
mental agencies, in the last few months have resulted in a
comprehensive preservation program with a broad base of
public support. This support for historic preservation is
particularly significant in the face of the difficult economic
situation facing the State. Maintaining and developing
further the partnerships which have resulted from these
joint efforts will continue to be a high priority in order to
strengthen historic preservation in California. ❑
CERTIFIED LOCAL GOVERNMENT
The 1980 amendments to the National Historic Preser-
vation Act established a nationwide program to create
partnerships between the National Park Service, the Office
of Historic Preservation, and local governments, as well as
providing financial and technical assistance to local gov-
ernments to preserve historic properties—buildings, struc-
tures, sites, neighborhoods, and other places of importance
in the historical and cultural life of the nation. A local
government can participate directly in this program when
the State Historic Preservation Officer certifies that the
local government has established its own historic preser-
vation commission and a program meeting Federal and
State standards. A local government that receives such
certification is known as a "Certified Local Government"
or "CLG." Some of the benefits of becoming a CLG are:
*Receiving special grants from the OHP
• Establishing local historic preservation expertise recog-
nized by state and federal agencies
- •Receiving technical assistance and training from OHP
*Participation in nominations of properties to the Na-
tional Register of Historic Places
*Developing national historic preservation assistance
network: publications and professional assistance
•Developing information exchange with OHP
•Participation in statewide preservation programs and
planning
Some of the responsibilities of a Certified Local Govern-
ment are:
*Maintain a historic preservation commission
-Enforce State and/or local preservation laws
-Provide for public participation in historic preserva-
tion issues
•Other functions delegated or required by OHP, such as
enactment of historic preservation ordinances or zon-
ing restrictions
The Cities of Oakland and Pasadena were the first two
CLGs for California, withan effective date of September 30,
1986. Currently there are 26 CLGs with 21 cities and 5
counties. See accompanying article on the 1992 grants
awarded.
As part of the technical assistance OHP provides, the
annual CLG Workshop this year will be held July 31 in
Sacramento. We have received several requests to hold a
regional workshop in Southern California due to budget
shortages at the local level. OHP will try to accommodate
this request in 1993. ❑
1992 CERTIFIED LOCAL
GOVERNMENT GRANTS AWARDED
The Office of Historic Preservation awarded over
$165,000 in Federal Historic Preservation Funds to the
successful 1992 grant applicants. Eleven Certified Local
Governments participated in the 1992 grant application
program, including four new CLGs. The OHP is required
by the federal government. to pass-through 10% of its
annual allocation to CLGs through a competitive grant
application process. This year the allocation to California
was $862,409; thus, the 1992 grant allocation exceeds the
10% pass-through requirement. In view of the fact there
were seven new local governments certified during Fiscal
' 11%, Year 1991, the Office believed it important to share as much
f�1 i of its annual allocation as possible with the CLG program.
The 1992 grant funding awards went to the Cities of
�k Alameda, Glendale, Oakland, Oceanside, Pasadena, Tustin
and the Town of Los Gatos. The successful County CLGs
that participated are San Diego, Santa Cruz, Ventura and
Tuolumne Counties.
All applications were reviewed by an OHP committee
represented by program and fiscal managers. Recommen-
dations were then made to the State Historical Resources
Commission based on the most competitive applications,
plus cost- effectiveness and the extent to which the pro-
posal would promote preservation objectives of the OHP
and the National Park Service.
The grants will be used to continue survey work, pre-
pare National Register nominations, establish Geographic
Information Systems, training, and to assist continuing
local preservation efforts. We are pleased this funding,
although limited, can provide an important advantage in
local preservation activities. ❑
State Standards for Curation
In 1991, Dr. Patricia Martz, the prehistoric archeologist
on the State Historical Resources Commission, presented the
Commissioners with the issue of curation for prehistoric and
historic artifacts and related materials which is a serious
problem in California. She stated that in accordance with
Section 5020.5 (b) of the Public Resources Code, the Commis-
sion has the responsibility to "develop guidelines for the
reasonable and feasible collection, storage, and display of
archaeological specimens."
The then Chairperson, Patricia Cologne, appointed Dr.
Martz and Mr. Richard Milanovich to form a subcommittee
to investigate this problem. Commissioner Robert Hoover
will act as an advisor as needed.
The Society for California Archeology, in order to help
facilitate the process, has developed some very preliminary
guidelines. After input from the archeological and Native
American communities, these suggested guidelines will be
presented to the Commission at its August meeting. Dr.
Martz related that the Commission will begin to work on the
matters soon with a goal for having approved state guide-
lines in place during 1993.
A State Historical Resources Commission Curation Task
Force has been formed and held its first meeting on June 11.
The membership includes representation from the Santa
Barbara Museum of Natural History, the Society for Califor-
nia Archeology, CALTRANS, Bureau of Land Management,
California Department of Parks and Recreation, Department
of Parks and Recreation's Native American Council, Native
American Heritage Commission, Office of Historic Preserva-
tion, California Association of Museums, National Park Ser-
vice, and the State Historical Resources Commission.
. The next meeting of the Curation Task Force will be
August 20,1992, Room 1140,1416 Ninth Street, Sacramento.
INVENTORY REVIEW COMMITTEE STATUS
The Office of Historic Preservation (OHP), working in
conjunction with the Department of Transportation
(CALTRANS), is currently involved in a joint effort to
revise and improve State historical resource recordation
policies and procedures.
Substantial progress is already being made toward this
goal by the Inventory Review Committee, a group of 30
prehistorical and historical archaeologists, historians, and
architectural historians from varying state and federal
agencies and private consulting firms. The committee's
goal is to formulate detailed proposals for revising current
OHP recording forms, manuals, and policies.
The first meeting of the Inventory Review Committee,
held May 18 and 19,1992, resulted in a list of committee

` GRANTS FOR HISTORIC PRESERVATION, s I
The National Historic`Preservafion Act authorizes Federal
grants-in-aid to the. States and to the National Trust for
-Historic Preservation on a matching basis. The grants
may be used for statewide surveys, the preparation of
statewide historic preservation plans, and the acquisition
and restoration of individual properties. Grants for in=
dividual preservation 'projects may be made through the
States to other eligible public or private recipients.
To' qualify for aid, properties must be listed in the
National Register, be consistent' with a statewide historic
preservation plan approved by the Secretary of the In-
terior, and need financial assistance or be•owned by the
National Trust for Historic Preservation.
The State Liaison Officer directs his State's grant-in-aid
program, its historical surveys, and its preservation plan-
ning. Questions about any feature of a State's historic
preservation program should be addressed to this, official.
A list of Liaison Officers is provided elsewhere in this
folder.
RELATED PROGRAMS
HISTORIC AMERICAN BUILDINGS SURVEY. This program for
recording important •examples of American architecture
is conducted in cooperation with the American Institute
of Architects and the Library of Congress. The records—
photographs, measured drawings, ..written data—are de-.
posited in the Library of Congress, where they are availa-
ble.for inspection and study.
Recording by HABS is evidence that a building is worthy
of preservation, Most recorded buildings will be entered
in the National'Register either as National Historic Land-
marks or by nomination of the States.
HISTORIC AMERICAN ENGINEERING RECORD. HAER was
organized in 1969 to complement the. Historic American
Buildings Survey. The -object of the program is to record
important examples of American engineering, and it is con-
ducted by the National Park Service in cooperation with
the American Society, of Civil Engineers (technical ad-
visors) and the_Library_of -Congress -(depository- for- rec-
ords).
f'y y; While the recognition -and preservation aof our archi-
tectural patrimony has been established over the years,
America's engineering and industrial genius has not been
treated in kind. Here lies the challenge of HAER. By work -
Ing with related programs such -as the National Register,
an archive of measured drawings, photographs, and docu-
ments will be accumulated to increase public awareness of
this aspect of our heritage.
NATIONAL PARK SERVICE ARCHEOLOGICAL PROGRAM. Arche-
ological research and protection are other major respon-
sibilities of the National Park Service. Prehistoric ruins
were among the earliest areas set aside for Department of
the Interior protection. The Antiquities Act of 1906 pro-
vided the Department with initial protective and research
powers in respect to archeological resources. The Act of
1916 creating the National Park Service charged that
agency with protection of historic resources in the National
Park System. The Historic Sites Act of 1935, the Reser-
voir Salvage Act of 1960, and the Historic Preservation Act
of 1966 greatly broadened these responsibilities.
The Service now conducts a program of salvage arche-
ology where highway construction, dams, pipelines, and
other projects threaten sites rich in prehistoric or historic
data. A large proportion of the archeological fieldwork in
this country is conducted under the Inter -Agency Arche-
ological Salvage Program, sponsored by the Service.
THE NATIONAL HISTORIC LANDMARKS PROGRAM. The Historic
Sites Act of 1935 authorizes the Secretary of the Interior
to make a survey of historic sites and buildings to identify
those of national significance. Potential landmarks are
evaluated by the Advisory Board on National Parks, His-
toric Sites, Buildings, and Monuments, and are recom-
mended to the Secretary of the Interior.
, � Sites and structures found nationally significant by the
Secretary are eligible,for designation as National Historic
Landmarks and are 'imrnediately recorded in the National
Register. Upon the owner's .agreement to adhere to ac-,
cepted preservation precepts, Landmark . designation is
recognized by the award of a bronze plaque and a certifi-
cate. The program began in 1960.
Properties eligible for Landmark designation are listed
in a booklet entitled National Parks and Landmarks.
Studies leading to the selection of National Historic
Landmarks are published in a series of books. The booklet
and the books are available from the Superintendent of
Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington,
DC 20402. (Write to that office for pricelists.)
THE NATURAL LANDMARKS PROGRAM. The first •areas in the
Register of Natural Areas were designated in 1964. This
program is similar to that of the National Historic Land-
marks. Natural areas considered of national significance
are cited by the Secretary of the Interior as eligible for
recognition as Registered Natural Landmarks, regardless
of ownership. At the Secretary's invitation, the owner may.
apply for a certificate and a bronze plaque designating
the site.
NATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION LANDMARKS PRO-
GRAM. The third part of the National Landmarks Program
was started in 1968. These Landmarks are designated for
use of schools and the general public for teaching the prin-
ciples of environmental awareness.
OTHER PROGRAMS. The National Historic Preservation Act
of 1966 and companion legislation place important respon-
sibilities for historic preservation on all Federal Depart-
ments and Agencies. For most of them the responsibility is
primarily a statutory obligation to exercise care in all
undertakings affecting cultural properties worthy of pres-
ervation.
The Department of Housing and Urban Development,
however, as well as the Department of the Interior, has
been given important new authority to undertake programs
of active aid and encouragement to historic preservation.
For information about the programs of the Department
of Housing and Urban Development, write to the Secre-
tary of Housing and Urban Development, Washington,
DC 20410.
On the basis of 1966 and 1968 legislation, the Depart-
ment of Transportation has adopted policies and programs
giving maximum consideration to the effect of projected
transportation facilities on the quality of the environment.
Cultural properties are among the environmental elements
given special attention. For further information write to
the Secretary of Transportation, Washington, DC 20590.
RELATED PRESERVATION FOLDERS
The National Park Service publishes the following infor-
mation folders similar to this one on its preservation pro-
grams: National Park Service Archeological Program, The
Historic American Buildings Survey, The National Historic
Landmarks Program, and The Natural Landmarks Pro-
gram. These publications, along with this folder, are avail-
able in packet form (National Park Service Preservation
Programs, 50 cents) from the Superintendent of Docu-
ments, U.S. Government'Printing Office, Washington, DC

YOU CAN HELP PRESERVE
CALIFORNIA'S PAST
N.�
... BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE
Where can you see evidence of California's rich prehistory?
-- It can now only be found in a few museums and in the names
on the land - KLAMATH, COSUMNES, TAMALPAIS,-and TOPANGA. But the
Indians who once lived in this Golden State have much to teach us
about Man's ways, his societies, his environment, and his culture.
These past ways reflect on our present life. The best source of this
information lies locked in the ground on which these people lived.
it can only be unlocked by scientific, archaeological study aimed
at detailing ancient lifeways and changes in culture through
California's thousands of years of
prehistory.
An archaeological site is more
than a group of artifacts, bones and
the fragile evidence of ancient
structures. It is the sum of the
delicate interrelationships of these
objects and all these data are used
by the archaeologist to learn about
the past. Disturbance of an archaeo-
logical site by construction, by
farming, or by untrained artifact -
digging impairs or destroys its value
for scientific study. California has
established a set of laws*, but these
alone are not adequate to ensure the
preservation of our Past. The Public
the building, buying, and law -making
public - must recognize that archaeo-
logical sites are important as a
resource, a non-renewable resource,
P
and must be protected. The heritage of Native California is not
that of one people or one state - it is the heritage of all people,
from which we all can understand the human and environmental problems
that face us now and will face us in the future.
You can help California Indians and archaeologists preserve our
State's important prehistory. As a property owner, you can protect
ancient sites on your land from vandalism, notify authorities of the
sites, and'help provide for their excavation by archaeologists if
your land -use must destroy them. As a businessman, i you can support
archaeological research excavations when your business activities
require the destruction of prehistoric sites. As a lawmaker, you
can support stronger legislation for archaeological protection and
.research as well as the discouragement of vandalism. As a citizen,
you can report the discovery of ancient sites, refrain from digging
for artifacts, and support your local archaeological society or
archaeological research institution.
Existing laws for the protection of archaeological sites:
*California Public Resources
Code, Section 5097.5: Unauthorized
excavation, destruction, etc.,
of archaeological features on "public
land" is a misdemeanor.
*California Administrative Code, Title 14, Section 4307: Prohibits
injury, disfiguration, defacement, or
destruction of any object of archaeo-
logical value.

INSTRUCTIONS TO ACCOMPANY HISTORIC SITES INVENTORY FORM,
Introduction
In 1966, with the passage of the National Historic Preservation Act, (PL 89-665), preservation
of historic and prehistoric sites, buildings, and objects received new impetus. In addition to
requiring that all states submit a comprehensive plan for future preservation efforts, the law gives
some protection to historic sites and structures that are listed in the National Register of Historic
Places. This legal protection applies to properties that are threatened with destruction or alteration
by projects that involve federal licensing or funding.
The California History Plan calls for an inventory of all historic and prehistoric sites and
structures whether or not they are covered by any current registry program, such as the California
Historical Landmarks Program. The inventory should encompass all significant historic evidence.
This inventory program is structured to enable the various counties to make use of all
resources to accomplish the necessary research. The Historic. Sites Inventory F6rm has been
designed to allow youth groups as well as interested adults and professionals to participate. The
form is also designed to be adapted eventually to a computer system. Computerization of the data
obtained will permit interested persons to request and receive information on their areas of interest
from a central source.
The inventory will aid in the preparation of various registry and landmark applications and will
also provide a valuable tool in identifying historic sites and structures that should be included in a
balanced, objective plan for preservation and interpretation of California's heritage. Finally, the
inventory will provide a comprehensive and readily accessible record of California's cultural
heritage.
For additional information concerning the inventory program, the California Historical
Landmarks Program, the National Register of Historic Places, or any of the various grants-in-aid
programs relating to preservation, please contact the History Preservation Section, California State
Department of Parks and Recreation, P.O. Box 2390, Sacramento, CA 95811 (phone:
916-445-8006).
Preparation of the Form
The first part of the inventory form is designed for check marks and short answers. Please
mark the appropriate space with pen or pencil. The statement of significance and other narrative
portions of the form should be brief.
The architectural inventory section is designed for computerized retrieval of information. The.
instructions for marking will be found in the architectural section.
The following numbered paragraphs refer to corresponding -items on the inventory form.
Enter the name of the appropriate county .(e.g., Imperial, Kern, Yuba). The "site" blank is for
state use only.
2. The name of a property would seem to present no problem. However, a distinction must be
made between the common or presently .used name of a structure or site (sometimes derived
from a recent owner) and its traditional or historic name. Enter the common name in Item 2
and the historic name in Item 29. .If the property is a recorded archeological site, enter the
name and the site number on line 2.
Give the street number and the city, town, or nearest rural post office. If the site is located in a
rural area, include the name of the road it is on and the nearest intersecting road or street.
4. - Give the date or dates on which the site was surveyed
5. Self-explanatory.
6. "Accessible to the Public" indicates whether the general public has direct access to the
property. "Restricted" access would include.visits by appointment only, scheduled hours, and
the like.
7. Self-explanatory. {
8. Property can be described in exact dimensions or by such phrases as "rectangle, 100 paces
wide by 20 paces long" or "1/a city block." For size of structure located on property, see Item Y.
26. If the item is a trail, enter the length.
9. If the site has already been recognized in an existing historic, architectural, or archeological
inventory (either national, state, or local), this fact should be indicated here. Copies of existing
survey records are not required.
10. If the site or structure has been included in a survey listed in Item 9, give the location of the
survey records (or. copies).
11. If the site has been registered as a local, state, or national historic landmark, indicate the name
of the landmark register or program (e.g., California Historical Landmarks Program, Points of
Historical Interest Program).
12. One or more may' be marked'.
13. Self-explanatory. Extensive detail is not necessary.
14. Indicate the historic event that occurred at the site and check the appropriate level of its
significance. If the item being inventoried is a structure that is notable only for its architectural
importance and is not associated with a particular historical event, indicate this in Item 16.
15. If a historically important person resided or achieved fame here, please note. Indicate the
person's level of historical significance — local, state, or national.
16. A statement of significance should be comprehensive and informative rather than just a list of
names or events. It should relate the relevance of the site or structure to the appropriate
historic event and should be substantiated in Item 17 (documents and books). It should also
relate to items 14 and 15:
.17. Cite all major documents or publications that relate directly to the property. These could
include newspaper articles, historical society publications, letters, deeds, and the like.
18. For the purposes of the inventory, clear black and. white prints from any basic camera would
be suitable. Ideal photographic coverage of a structure would be a front view, a shot toward a
corner showing two sides and a shot from some distance showing the structure in its setting or
surrounding environment. Close-up shots showing special or unique features should also be
included. Photographs should not be smaller than 21/2" x 3'/z" nor larger than 5" x 7". If the
size of the site or structure would be difficult to determine from photographs, include a person
or object of known size in the photos to show the scale.
19. Self-explanatory.
20. Self-explanatory.
Note: Items 21 to 25 apply only to structures. A structure is any man-made, fixed object, such. as a
house, barn, bridge, or canal.

INTRODUCTION
This procedural guide contains the grant application for 1981 federal funds
available under the National Historic Preservation.Act of 1966, administered
by the Heritage Conservation and Recreation Service (HCRS) of the United
States Department of the.Interior and the California Office of Historic
Preservation (OHP).
This is a two-part application process. The Part I application is on
page 51. The rest of the guide describes the grant program, its processes and
requirements, and how to fill.out,the application and related forms. -Be sure.
to review the guide and follow the checklist on page 23 as you prepare and
submit the application. An incomplete application will not be.considered.
The Part I application deadline is May 5, 1980. OHP will review and rank
these applications according to the federal and state criteria listed on
page 12. By May 15, 1980', the State Historic Preservation Officer will invite
applicants with the highest-ranking projects to submit Part II of the
applications, with a deadline of.June 20, 1980. Part II must include
appraisals for acquisition projects, preliminary architectural plans for,
development projects, preliminary archeological assessments if ground
disturbance is involved, itemized cost breakdowns, and resumes of project
personnel. Work on these items should begin with your Part I application
preparation.
A well-developed grant proposal is always a useful tool in locating project
funds from various sources. We encourage you to seek funding from as many
sources.as possible, since thi's.grant program cannot meet.all.the requests
received.
OHP will submita list of proposed projects to HCRS by August 15, 1980.
California will not hear until late November or early December'how much money
the.state will receive for grant distribution; at that time OHP will allocate
the funds. Final notices of grant awards should be mailed by the end of
December, 1980.
Please note that grant funds.cannot cover work items, other than some
architectural, archeological, or engineering fees, that have-startedbefore
full OHP and HCRS approvals are signed in the spring of 1981.
If you plan to purchase property with -grant funds, contact OHP grants.staff at
(916) 445-8006 immediately for important procedural details on the complex.
-, federal acquisition project requirements.
Feel free to call the OHP.Grants Section to discuss your project scope, ;;
program requirements,'and any other:questions on the.application.process.
HOW THE GRANTS-IN-AID PROGRAM WORKS -
Only properties listed on the National Register of Historic Places are
eligible for federal Grants -in -Aid under this program. The National Register
of Historic Places is the official list of the nation's cultural resources'
worthy.of preservation. The National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 calls
for a broadened program for, preservation of all cultural property throughout °
the United States. The 1966 Act states: "The Secretary of the Interior is
authorized to expand and maintain a national register'of district sites,
buildings, structures and objects significant in American history, 4
architecture, archeology and culture.hereinafter referred to as the National
Register...."
Applications for the National Register must have been submitted to and
accepted by the National Register staff •in OHP by February 22, 1980, in order
to get on.the agenda of the State Historical Resources Commission in time to
qualify for 1981. Funds. If your historic property is not on the Register,
contact the OHP'National Register staff for further information about the
National,Register of Historic Places and the nomination procedures.
Three kinds of grants --acquisition, development planning, and development
projects --are eligible for.funding under the Grants -in -Aid program:
1. Acquisition projects•include fee -simple or less -than -fee -simple
acquisitions. Fee -simple acquisition involves absolute ownership;
less -than -fee -simple may include.acquisition of development rights through
easements'.and acquisition of title subject to a life estate. Contact OHP
before taking any steps to appraise or purchase property and we will send
Youdetailed instructions..
2. Development planning projects include the preparation of a historic
structures.report on the building's architectural history, present
condition, and future development and complete architectural plans for
future devehopment. .'
3.' Development projects include protection, stabilization, rehabilitation,
and restoration of historic properties (see page 6 for definitions)
according to professional standards established by the Secretary of the
Interior (summarized'on page 8)..
Individuals, private organizations, businesses, and units of local government .
are'eligible to apply for Grants -in -Aid.- .Acquisition grants are only
available to non-profit organizations or governmental agencies.
OHP reviews grant applications and selects projects on the basis of cultural
significance, sponsorship and stewardship ability, public benefit,
preservation and interpretation benefits, and quality and condition of site.
Grant projects that will encourage additional preservation or revitalization
activity and investment, particularly from the private sector, are especially
desirable. Those projects selected undergo an additional review by HCRS
before their initiation. (See page 12 for allocation criteria.)
-2-
Available Grant Funds
Grants -In -Aid funding made available yearly to California by HCRS has been
about $1,000,000. The exact figure is redetermined each year based on
Congressional allocations. Seventy percent of California's share is allocated
to local projects, while the remaining thirty percent is used for developing
state park properties. Half of the local project portion goes to projects in
southern California,!and half to those in northern California. The sixth
standard parallel south serves as the dividing line.
The Grants -In -Aid program makes awards of a maximum amount of fifty -percent of.
the total allowable project cost (see Appendix C). The local grant recipient
is responsible for a minimum matching amount of half of the total project
cost. The.amount of federal aid to any one project rarely exceeds $35,000.
About 20% of applicants receive funding. Usually these awards represent an
amount considerably smaller than that requested. Nonetheless, we encourage
you to submit requests for maximum project amounts for which you'have at least
a fifty percent matching capability. You should also pursue other funding
sources for your project.
Long-term Responsibilities
Grant recipients -are responsible for the maintenance, administration and
public accessibility of historic properties acquired or developed with federal
assistance. Satisfactory maintenance requires that the historical integrity
of .the features, materials, appearance, workmanship., and environment of an
assisted property be protected and preserved.
Development planning grant.recipients guarantee that future development of the
property shall be done -in accordance with the full architectural plans and
specifications as approved by OHP.
For grant -assisted properties that are not open to the public on a continuous
basis, and where improvements.assisted with grant funds are not visible from
the public way, the grant recipient will publish notification in newspapers of
general circulation in the area in which the property is located, 'giving dates
and times when the property will -be open to the public. The.public access
must be available for a minimum of 12 days per year.
The grant recipient's responsibility to maintain and to provide public access
to properties acquired or developed with historic preservation Grant -in -Aid
funds is limited to.a specific period of.time, according to the amount of
federal assistance provided, as.follows:
a. Federal assistance of up to $20,000: .5 years.
b. Federal assistance of $20,001 to $50,000: 10 years.
c. Federal assistance of $50;001 to $1.00,000.: -15 years. .
d. Federal assistance of over $100,000: 20 years.
If a grant -funded property changes owners within the specified time, the deed
or other title transfer document must include the above provisions to cover
the time remaining.. „
-3-
Grant recipients are responsible for insuring that, financial and
administrative records pertaining to the full life -cycle of their grants are
maintained for at -least three years after completion of all project work.
HCRS, the Department of the Interior, the Controller General of the United
States, the California Department ,of Parks and Recreation, the State of
California, the Office of Historic Preservation, and any of their duly
appointed representatives shall have access to all project.records for audit
purposes.
Length of Projects
Acquisition and development projects.have from the spring of 1981 to April
15, 19'83, for grant -funded work to be completed. Development planning
projects have until April 15, 1982.
Payment Process
Generally., grant recipients may receive payment only for work done after HCRS
officially approves the project.' Only actual cash expenditures may be
reimbursed; recipients may not bill for,the value of donations. Payment is
made.primarily by reimbursement, but also by advances.
1. Reimbursements--HCRS will reimburse a grant recipient, through OHP, for
work completed on a project after it has been initiated and after
specified project conditions have been met. Such reimbursement may not
exceed 50% of allowable reported project costs.' Grant recipients must
submit billing statements quarterly; however, they may bill as often as.
monthly.. The state will not reimburse more than 90% of the grant until
completion reports are submitted and the state has received an audit
approval.from the Audit Section of the Department'of Parks and Recreation.
2. Advances --Only in very rare cases, when a grantee lacks resources to
finance the project costs, will payments in advance of work performance be
authorized once a project has been initiated. Advances are made at the -
discretion of OHP. No advances can be,made earlier than 30 days before
completion of the work items that they fund.
There are some cases in which a grant recipient may receive federal funds for
work' accomplished before HCRS officially approves the grant.. Retroactive
funding is allowable under the following conditions:
1. `The grant recipient accomplishes work required to initiate a project. For
example: appraisals, historical research, plans, specifications and
engineering drawings, and other documentation required to -enable OHP to
review and approve the project. Work.of this sort must be specified as
allowable -project expenditures, with the dates on which such preliminaries
were contracted and completed, in the project application.
-4-
u
2..: Prior approval, for fundable work has been requested by the applicant and
granted by OHP and HCRS before the work begins, and sometimes before
allocating funds. Such prior approval may be granted only in rare eases,
for emergency work to.reduce the threat to the resources:, Such.approvEI
does not guarantee that the project will be allocated funds'..•. Applicants
proceed at their own financial risk. Prior approval is only for the
purpose of.making fundable work eligible for reimbursement."
Termination of Projects
Once a project agreement has been signed by the grant.recip.ient'and OHP, a_ ..
project financed with funds from this program cannot be terminated by the
recipientbefore satisfactory completion,'without OHP and HCRS approval
Recipients requesting premature termination must fully explain the reason 'for
the action and the ,proposed disposition of the incomplete project. .,
OHP, with approval from HCRS, may terminate project assistance in whole or -in
part at any time during the project period when it judges that a grant
recipient has failed in a material way to comply with the project agreement or
with program -policies.

TREATMENT OF HISTORIC PROPERTIES
Kinds of Historic Property Development
Historic structures may be accorded a variety of,treatments, depending on
their significance and need. .
Protection is generally of a temporary nature, and -implies future historical
preservation work. Before protective measures are applied, an analysis of the u
actual or anticipated threats to the property shall be made. If any
historical material or architectural features are removed, they -shall be
properly recorded and, if possible, stored for future study or reuse.
Protection must safeguard the physical condition or environment of a property
or archeological site from further deterioration or damage.
Stabilization is the application "of measures de'signed to sustain -the form and
extent of a historic.resource essentially as it now stands. Stabilization is
aimed at.halting further deterioration and enhancing safety, rather than
attempting to rebuild or recreate lost historic -features.
Stabilization includes techniques to arrest or slow deterioration of a site,
structure, or object. Improvements in physical conditions to make the
property safe, habitable,.or otherwise useful can be part of stabilization, as
can .minor repairs that do not change or adversely affect, the fabric,
appearance, or historic value of the property.
Preservation is the process of applying measures to sustain the existing form,
integrity, and material of a building or structure, and the existing form and
vegetation of the adjacent environment. It may include initial stabilization
work, where necessary,.as well -as ongoing maintenance of the historic property.
Rehabilitation is the process of returning a property, through repair or
alteration, to an efficient contemporary use, while preserving and/or
restoring those portions or features of the property that are significant to
its historic, architectural, and cultural values.
Restoration is the process of accurately recovering the form and details of a
historic resource and its setting, as they appeared at some point in history..
Restoration can include a full restoration (exterior and interior) or a
partial restoration of the historically and/or architecturally significant
parts of a structure.
Reconstruction is the process of accurately reproducing, from well-documented
research and by new construction, the form and details of a vanished historic
resource as it appeared at some point in history.
Reconstruction of all or a part of a historic property would be appropriate
when essential for understanding and interpreting the value of a historic
district, or when no other structure, object, or landscape feature with the
same value has survived, and sufficient historical documentation exists to
insure an accurate reproduction of the original.
As a general rule, HCRS and OHP give reconstruction a low priority compared
with projects designed to preserve historic resources, especially with current
limitations 'on funds available for historic preservation grants.
OHP and HCRS encourage a compatible modern idiom for new structures in
historic districts. However, the design of a structure must.be.harmonious
with -the surrounding -environment. The size, scale, color, material, and
character of the adjacent historic district can be used as a basic design
' guide for the new structure,..
- c ,
Selecting the appropriate treatment for a historic structure requires much
thought; each structure must be judged on an individual basis. The data from
the historic structure report, archeological reports, the needs of the
sponsors and the local community, and the advice of appropriate professionals
should be part of this thought process. Not all the -work :need be accomplished
at once; stabilization may be more appropriate at first, while restoration
work can be done during a later phase. All relevant facts should be
considered when choosing the appropriate treatment for the property.
Uses of Funded Properties
There are few state or federal restrictions on the use of funded properties.,
Traditionally, historic preservation focused on the restoration of a small
number of grand houses '(often the homes of figures famous in local, state or
national history) for use.as museums. Preservationists now recognize that the
market for house museums is limited, and that'serious efforts must be made to
find other uses for,restbred or rehabilitated structures. OHP encourages
innovative uses for historic structures (always preserving the integrity and
significant features of the properties), such'as offices, shops,,.private
schools, society headquarters, and community centers.
The modern use of an older building should be compatible,with the intention of
its original designer; however,' many structures cannot continue to be used for
their original purposes. The characteristics, of such older buildings can
often suggest other suitable contemporary uses. You should consider the
historical, archeological, and/or architectural -significance of the structure,
its size and arrangement of rooms, and its location, in -evaluating potential
uses. Remember that you wish to achieve both a functional building and the
preservation of cultural values."
Reasonable nondiscriminatory admission fees that will not discourage
visitation, and that are comparable. with fees charged at similar facilities in
the area; may be collected at grant -funded properties.
Secretarv..of the Interior's Standards for Historic Preservation Projects
The "Standards for Historic Preservation Projects" as established 'by the
Secretary of the Interior are used as the standard for reviewing and approving
-7-
IP
all plans. and specifications applicable to the Grants -In -Aid program. General
guidelines are as follows:
1. Every reasonable effort shall be made to use a structure for its
originally intended purpose, or to provide a compatible` use that will
require' minimum alteration to the structure and its environment.
2.' Rehabilitation work shall not destroy the distinguishing qualities or.
character of the structure and its environment. The removal or alteration
of any historic material or architectural features should be held to a
minimum.
3. Deteriorated architectural features shall be repaired rather than
replaced, wherever .possible. In the event replacement is necessary, the
new material should match the material being replaced in its composition,
design, color, texture, and other visual qualities. 'Repair or replacement
of -missing architectural features should be based on.accurate duplications
of original features, substantiated by physical or pictorial evidence,
rather than on conjectural designs or the availability of.different
architectural features from other buildings.
4.- Distinctive stylistic features or examples of skilled craftsmanship that
characterize historid structures, and often predate the mass production of
• building materials, -shall be treated with sensitivity. '
5. Changes that may have taken place in the course of time are evidence of
the history and development of the structure -and its environment. These
changes may have acquired significance,in their own right, and this
significance'shall be recognized and respected.'
6. All structures shall be recognized as products of their own time.
Alterations to create an earlier appearance shall be discouraged.
7. Contemporary design for additions to existing'structures or landscaping
shall be encouraged, with such design to be compatible with the size,
scale, color, material,.and character of the neighborhood, structures, or
project environment.
8. Wherever possible, new additions or alterations to structures shall be
done in such a manner that if they were.to be removed in the future, the
essential form and integrity of the original structure would be unimpaired.
Project Phasing
If your property requires extensive work, you may find it desirable to divide
your project into several phases, with funding applications for each phase in
a separate fiscal year. Phase I might consist•of necessary -historical,*
archeological and architectural research, and preparation of plans nand
specifications;• Phase II might involve stabilization and necessary repairs to
plumbing and electrical systems; and Phase III might cover exterior or
interior restoration work. However, project applicants must realize that
me
I;.
approval of funding for -one phase by
for additional phases in subsequent
in a new fiscal year will be judged
other applications for that year.
Ground Disturbance
no means implies a guarantee.of funding
years. Each application for a new phase
on its own merits, and in competition with
When treatment of any historic property may involve,ground-disturbing
activities, such as foundation work, landscaping, grading,'or underground
plumbing, a.qualified archeologist's preliminary.assessment of the
archeological potential of the area to be disturbed is required with;the Part
II application. Adverse effects on cultural resources are a common result of—
ground-disturbing
f—ground-disturbing restoration/preservation projects. These effects should be
fully identified, and avoided when possible. If adverse effects cannot be
avoided, they must be mitigated in accordance with the.Department of the
Interior's "Professional Standards for Data Recovery Programs and Treatment of
Recovered Materials" (36 CFR Part 66, available from OHP). The mitigation
plan shall be'forwarded to OHP for review and acceptance -before ground
disturbance. Proper mitigation of cultural values may require excavation
outside the immediate area of impact.
Before any ground -disturbing activity in a.known Native American archeological
or ethnographic site, the grant recipient must be in contact with the local
Native American community. Indicate in the grant application that this
contact has been made. If cultural materials are uncovered, the project will,
be halted until mitigation procedures can be developed in consultation with
the Native American community.
Moving Historic Structures
Historic structures should be preserved on'their original sites, except when
relocation is the only reasonable preservation option. 'In the event that a
historic structure listed in the National Register must be relocated to
prevent its loss or serious impairment,'the grant applicant must provide:OHP
with advance notification of relocation. (Relocation may endanger National
Register status.) The notification must include data that assess any
historical, values of the proposed new location, and it must provide evidence
that.the new site does not.possess more historical significance than the
structure itself, or that adding the structure would adversely affect.that
significance.
Regardless of whether grant assistance is sought for the relocation of any
structure listed on the National Register, the data must.be submitted to OHP,
which will forward them to HCRS for acknowledgement before the relocation may
take place.
Building And Safety Codes
In preserving historic properties, every.effort must be made to comply with
local building and safety codes,, and to cooperate with local building
officials. While the "life safety factor" is always important, several
significant building code amendments now provide alternative -requirements for
qualified historic structures. The'new codes are:
1. Title 24, Section 8, State Historic Building Code --provides. alternative
..building regulations for the.rehabilitation, preservation, restoration
(including related reconstruction), or relocation of buildings or
structures designated as historic buildings. Such alternative building
regulations are intended to facilitate the restoration or, change of
occupancy so as to preserve -the buildings' original or restored
architectural elements and features, to encourage energy conservation and
a cost-effective approach to preservation, and to provide for the safety
of the building occupants.
2. - Health and Safety Code: Part 1.5,. Section 17958.8 --allows original
materials and methods of construction for alterations and repairs of
.dwellings.
3• Uniform Building Code: 1976 Edition, Section 104 (J) --allows repairs to
historic structures without full comformance.to the code.
For further information on how these codes can apply to your project, contact
the State Historic Building Code Advisory Board, c/o Office of the State.
Architect,"1500 5th Street, Sacramento, CA'95814..
Discussing a proposed development project with local building officials at the
beginning of a project and before preparing plans may avoid any conflict;
between the project scope and strict adherence to modern building codes.
Fire Detection And Suppression
Where warranted,by the value of a property or its historic content, adequate
fire detection warning and/or suppression systems should -be installed. When
an operating fire station exists near the property, a detection system
providing a direct signal should be installed. 'Fire personnel should be made
aware of inherent dangers.or special_features.of the property that should
receive particular -attention.
Warning and detection systems are ordinarily preferable to suppression
systems, which can cause as much damage as fire. When a suppression system is
advisable, freon and fog systems are recommended: Sprinklers should be.used
only in cases where fabric and contents are unlikely to be irreparably damaged
by the water. Foam systems should be used only if the area can be evacuated
swiftly. In installing detection or suppression systems, historic integrity
and the requirements of authentic interpretation must be carefully considered.
i
Flood Insurance
F
The Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 provides that no federal financial
assistance for acquisition or construction purposes can be granted to
properties located in HUD -identified `floodplain areas having special flood
hazards,'unless flood insurance has been secured by the property owners.
-10-
However, in consideration of the special values•of historic properties, HUD
has adopted revised National Flood Insurance Program regulations that exempt
structures listed, on the National Register from some -of the program's
requirements. Specifically, structures listed on the National Register will
be eligible for subsidized insurance rates. An additional provision allows
communities to grant variances from flood -proofing standards, if those
standards will adversely affect the historic values of the structures"in
question.
Despite these exceptions, flood insurance is still required in all those cases
where structures are located in special -hazard areas. .'Applicants are
responsible for contacting the Office of Flood Insurance, U.S..Department of
Housing and Urban Development, Regional Office, 450 Golden Gate Avenue,
P.O. Box 36003, San Francisco, CA 94102, (415) 445 -3543, -to obtain information
on whether their.property is.located ina special flood hazard area, and to
learn the required procedures for obtaining insurance.
Flood insurance is not an allowable project cost.. If flood.insurance is
required, proof that it has been secured must.be provided to, OHP by the grant
recipient, showing that.it is or will be in<effect before construction work
begins.
S
CRITERIA FOR GRANT SELECTION
The following eliminating criteria are applied to all applications, to
determine whether or nota project is eligible for funding.. A local project
failing.to meet any of these.criteria will be disqualified without further
consideration.
1. For the current application, the site for which grant funds are requested
must either be currently listed on the National Register of Historic
Places, or have. had a complete application submitted to OHP for nomination
to the Register before February 22, 1980.
2. As of the application deadline, the grant application must be technically
complete..
3• As of the application deadline, the application must have an assured
source of matching funds.
4. As.of the application deadline, the applicant must have adequate tenure to
the land to be developed (development and development planning projects
only), or a willing seller (acquisition projects).
5. The work proposed in the application must be fundable under the National
Historic Preservation Act of 1966.
Projects that meet all of the above criteria are then ranked on a point scale,
including the following criteria:
1. Sponsorship and stewardship ability. The sponsors have the ability to
begin work promptly after project approval, and the ability to complete
work in a timely and professional fashion.
2. Public benefit. The project will significantly decrease the endangerment
of the property, and will.,increase the public access; it will be
innovative in areas of energy.conservation and access to the handicapped;
it will benefit minorities and -low income people, and'will conserve
natural and recreational resources and archeological sites.
3. Preservation benefits. The project will generate additional funds from
other sources; it will stimulate the preservation of additional resources;
it will retain its original use, or will be. adapted for a use other than a
house museum; it will make use.of innovative preservation techniques;'it
will be highly visible.
4. Quality and condition.. The integrity of. the site, fabric, appearance, and
environment will also be considered.
5. Development applications for projects with successfully executed previous
grants for preparation of plans and specifications will receive first
consideration for development funds.
-12-
•
...The following federal criteria for FY'1981 grants will be very important in
.� the OHP evaluation process. California's 1981 allocation will depend in part
on how many of these criteria are met by proposed projects:_
1. Projects that will serve as models to demonstrate one or more of the
following: -
a. Developing technical information, including use of new products
arid/or methods of undertaking project work that aid in the
conservation/reuse of historic materials.
b. Preservation methods or procedures..that solve or assist in solving.
technical historic preservation problems.with regional'or national
application, such as techniques for dealing with spalling sandstone,
log.preservation, adobe stabilization -or preservation, -concrete
preservation, etc.
2. Projects that foster neighborhood preservation (or will be used as
leverage to accomplish,same):
a. Restoration/rehabilitation of commercial property, single-family
houses, or buildings with multiple housing units in a neighborhood.
b. Restoration/rehabilitation of important historically -based or
existing landscape features or objects such as parks, gardens, or
statues which are an.essential part of a neighborhood.,
3. Projects that are located in an urban area (i.e. population of the
city/town limits in which the property is located .is 25,000 or more).
4. Projects that preserve "endangered" archeological or historical properties.
("Endangered!' is defined as a known or anticipated threat or damage to the
integrity of the.resource, such as:` 1) immediate threat that will result
in loss or collapse of structure; 2) immediate threat of,destruction by
public or private action; and 3) condemnation for code violations. 'It is
not to be construed -as routine maintenance that has been neglected.)
5. Projects that benefit minorities or disadvantaged persons, such as:
a.' Property owner/occupants are (will be) minority persons.'
b. Property owner/occupants.-are (will be) disadvantaged persons.
c., Craftspersons/technical consultants are (.will be)- minorities or
disadvantaged persons.
d.q Project includes handicapped access provisions which meet building
code requirements within the project to be funded in'FY. 81.
-13-
6. Projects that demonstrate a clear public benefit.by:
a. Being financially supported by local. -governments, community groups
and not-for-profit organizations.'
b. Resulting in a facility,or property that•has as its primary function
serving the public, and is specifically open for that purpose on a
regular, -posted basis.
7. Projects that have .aneligible matching public or private share greater
than 50 percent within the project to be funded in FY 81.
8. Projects that benefit historic properties, the preservation,of which will
also contribute to'the conservation or enhancement of natural, rural_or
out -door recreational resources. .
--Rural area is defined as a county or township having a population of less
than 10,000.
9. Projects that actively produce energy through such methods as solar
collection or the generation of electricity by hydropower:
10. Projects that conserve energy through the installation of weatherization
elements or other passive methods of saving energy�(examples, would be the
installation of compatible insulation.in the attic or,walls).
The professional staff of OHP conducts the evaluation of the applications and
ranks them according to all ,of the above criteria. The State Historic
Preservation Officer makes the final project selections.
PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS AND CONSIDERATIONS
You should be familiar with the following facts:
1. The only historic properties eligible for assistance -are those listed in

In order' to simplify review and 'reporting.'prcjcedures, the- clearinghouses use a
form called the "Standard Form 424," frequently referred,to, as SF -424. The
SF -424 is a summary document that -contains basic information about the. .
proposed project, such as the name. of.
the applicant, the federate agency,. the
program under_which'the.application.for funds is being made, the.location.,.the
approximate cost, and a brief. description of the project activity to be
funded.•' This'information.allows interested state and local agencies to review
your proposed project, and''to offer suggestions, and, comments before you
finalize your application.
Grant applicants-should.compl.ete an SF=424, and the California Supplement if
required•(see page 40),. before submitting, the application.to OHP... -'See -page 35
for instructions on filling out the applicant portions of the form,. and
page 34 for, a'completed form to. be used as ,an example.'. On completion, the
original is sent.to the State'Clearinghouse.,.with copies to.the�appropriate
areawide clearinghouse. .These must be, -postmarked no'later than April 30.
(See page 37 for list of areawide.elearinghouses.') OHP must receive
certification of state -and local agency review before.processing the grant
application. You must return they. signed,,SF-424 and 'clearinghouse responses to
OHP by June 20,, or your application will not be'considered. The:desira•bility
of submitting the completedSF=424'.to-the clearinghouses at an -early -date
cannot be overemphasized.
The State Clearinghouse needs only one copy -6f. -the SF -424, because.the'data
supplied will be transferred onto a computer printout, for production of as'
i many copies as necessary. However„ 15 copies of -any additional documents`
included, such as environmental impact reports or negative declarations, are
required for distribution to reviewing agencies. When insufficient copies are
supplied, 'the review period will be -protracted by the need for agencies 'to
share the available copies. It -is therefore in the project sponsor's own
interest to provide•the State Clearinghouse with an adequate number of copies
of documents
-31-
The particular areawide'clearinghouse having Jurisdiction' over your project,
must be contacted directly, in .order to�obtain information, on the-require.d
number of forms and documents_.
.STEP •2:. Revi•ew'of: the: SF -.424
a. Local review
The areawide clearinghouses'are responsible.for review at the local
level. On..receipt..of your 'completed SF=424; -the'clearinghouse.will, notify
counties, cities,'.and.other app
'ropriate•regiohal..'and local :agencies
affected, by :the, pro.jeA" and Will offer` them opportunity to..commen't:,
Additionally, the areawide-clearinghouse may itself conduct a"staff review.,
Within 30 days, the areawide clearinghouse..will either comment.on or.,:.
declare interest .in the project, ,and will notify you. If interest: iso +i
declared,. the, areawide clearinghouse may calf meetings..,to allow you• and . { .
others interested to dis'cugs the issues. If the issues are resolved,. the `.
formal clearinghouse comments to you Will .clear' the p'roj'ect of -further
local review'. If the issues are not resolved, the .forwar.ded -comments will I .
identify any position taken by the clearinghouse.on..,the undecided
questions..
Since, procedures vary among the areawide clearin ouses; you'should_contact
the -clearinghouse having jurisdiction -over -your project-for•inforaiation.on the
specific procedures used during .'the local'.review phase. •.Remember,, int is your
responsibility. to contact.the•appropriate areawide-clearinghouse for
information on particular, procedures, and to comply With its -requirements.'
b. State review {
The review of the project .;at the state -level..' is' -accomplished' bye the State.
. Clearinghouse'. The .State. Clearinghouse.'. w,i11' 'draw .orithe, technical,' : )
expertise of state agencies for, the review ,'and will.,coordina'te the;
comments generated. Like the.areawide.clearinghouses,.the State I
Clearinghouse .may, conduct. its.' own review of pro'jects', .as; -appropriate.
When the state clearinghouse receives your SF -424 and initiates the'.
review, it assigns a State.Application Identifier number which goes in.
Box 3'of the SF -424. An acknowledgement of.rece.ipt is sent to the. project:....
sponsor in the form of a card bearing-the'State Clearinghouse nufffber..'Any
subsequent references to the pr.oje•ct must include ,that number..-,
This card will also indicate the length of the review period, and .the ;
approximate date the comments will be forwarded to the project sponsor.:
Usually, the review period is 45 days, .be.ginning 'on :the day; the, project is'..
sent 'out for review,by, the; -State .Clearinghouse; not on the date the
I 'mails the SF-424'to the cle'aringhouseT..
32-: .,7
STEP 3: Clearinghouse comments returned, to applicant
After the 'prescribed review;,the clearinghouses will complete Section'l and 2
of the SF -424, and will forward it to you with comments attached, 'or with a
confirmation that no comments were generated. ,
Any comments are advisory.in nature. ,Nonetheless, you are required to respond -
to any comments and.recommendations,that are made. Your application on file
at OHP is not complete until it includes copies of the comments and a
discussion of the manner in which you complied with•or otherwise resolved::
those comments. (The letters sent by the clearinghouses will provide the x
name, address, and telephone number of the reviewer in each agency making
comments, so you'may contact him/her. directly.) The.clearinghouses.may also
request a'.�copy of the final-appliedtion itself, and may establish:an.
additional review period of 30 days. Where this option is invoked,•the
clearinghouse will riot return the SF -424, but will notify 'you-inlwriting that.
a 30 -day review of the.application itself will•be required. In this case, `-.
only after that additional review period is completed will the SF -424 be
returned,:with"Part 2 filled in and comments (or confirmation of 'no comments)
attached.
t
STEP.4: :Submitting the application {
i
When review is, complete and ,you have received the original SF=424 from the
State Clearinghouse, and a copy of -the SF -424 from the areawide clearinghouse
to which -the project: was sent; -you send them to' OHP by June 20. .;The package
should include: '(1) The original SF -424 completed; (2)•two copies.of either
the statements from both the°State and areawide Clearinghouses that they
reviewed the project and'had no comments, or two copies ofany and all ~.
comments .received from clearinghouses, with a statement on -how you responded
to.each; (3) California Supplement to SF -424, if -required, completed; and (4)
any environmental documents required (for acquisition projects only) - If the
package•is-incomplete in any respect, OHP will notify you that ypur
application is incomplete.

COMPLYING WITH THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL -QUALITY -ACT
The.legislative.intent of the California.Ehvironmental Quality Act of 197Q
.(CEQA) is that—'all—state agencies that regulate activities affecting the
quality of the environment shall act to prevent environmental .damage. .'
Environment is specifically defined to.Anclude not only natural elements, but
also objects of historic or esthetic significance. Generally; protection of
the environment is achieved by requiring applicants for permits, licenses,.or.
financial assistance for an environmental project., to prepare either a draft
environmental impact report or a negative declaration.
Some kinds of projects fall .in categories that are.automatically exempt from
CEQA requirements because the State Secretary for Resources has determined
that they do not have a significant effect on the environment. All
.development projects funded by the Grants -in -Aid Program and involving
negligible expansion of size or use beyond -that previously existing will.be.
exempt under either Class 1 or Class 2. Most development projects will be
exempt under Class 1 ("Existing Facilities"), which consists of repair,
maintenance, minor alteration, restoration, or rehabilitation of existing.
structures and facilities. Any projects which are.reconstructions will be
exempt under Class 2 ("Replacement or Reconstruction"). Historical'And
..architectural research, resource evaluation activities, and.preparation of.
plans and specifications are exempt under Class 6.0"Information Collection")._
I.
Acquisition projects, where the 'tranafer'of ownership i6 for the purpose of
creating:a park, and where historic or archeological sites will not be.
significantly changed, are exempt under Class 16 (!'Transfer of Ownership of
Land in Order. to Create Parks"). All other acquisition projects are not
exempt; and must comply with CEQA requirements.
For further information regarding.categorical exemptions, write to OHP for a..
copy of the California Administrative Code, Title 1.44 Natural Resources,
Division 6, -Resources Agency, Article 8,'15100-15124, inclusive.'
All applicants for projects not exempted must prepare eit'her`:a draft.
environmental impact report (EIR) or a negative'declarationi and'submit.it to
state and areawide clearinghouses with.th,e SF -424. An.-EIR is a detailed
statement setting forth the environmental effects and considerations
pertaining to a project. A negative declaration is a statement briefly.
presenting the reasons why the project, although not otherwise exempt, would
not—have a significant effect on the environment, and therefore does not.
require an EIR.
Negative Declarations
A negative declaration must include a brief description' -of the project.as
proposed; a finding that the project will not have a significant effect on the .
environment, a brief statement of reasons.to support this -finding, and the
name'and address of the_contact person for the project:. The negative
declaration normally should not exceed one page in length.
-40-
Environmental Impact Report.
If you determine that your project will result in a significant effect on the
environment, you must prepare an EIR, which is to contain:
1.' A description of .the project.
2. A description of the environmental setting.
3. A des�,ription of the environmental impact, including:
a. Direct and indirect environmental impacts of -the proposed action.
b. Unavoidable adverse environmental effects of the project.
c. -Possible mitigation measures to;minimize the -project's impact..
d.• Possible alternatives to the proposed action.
e. The relationship between short-term uses of the environment
represented by the project and the maintenance and enhancement of the
environment's long-term productivity.
f. Irreversible environmental changes.
g. Growth -inducing impacts.
4. A list.of organizations and persons consulted in preparation of the EIR..
.5. Any water -quality aspects of ,the project.
A more detailed explanation of what to include in your EIR or negative
declara,i.-.)n; and more information.on CEQA, can be found in the Guidelines for
Implementation.of the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970. It is
strongly recommended that all project sponsors who must comply with CEQA
requirements. -familiarize themselves with the contents of .the guidelines. The
guidelines may be obtained from the General Services Agency, Documents
Section; ?.0. Box 20191,..Sac'ramento, CA. 95824.
Submitting a`Negative Declaration;or EIR:
The State Clearinghouse allows 30 days to review negative declarations and
45 days to review EIRs. Fifteen copies.of any.required negative declaration
or EIR should accompany the SF -424 form sent to the,S.tate Clearinghouse. Most
local jur.sdictions have adopted procedures to determine whether.a project
requires an "EIR or a negative declaration. The number•of copies' of
environmental documents requested by areawide-clearinghouses varies, and you
must contact them directly for information on their particular requirements.

.APPENDIX C
ALLOWABLE PROJECT COSTS
The following.list of'.alloiwable and unallowable project costs'applies to both'
federal and local shares. Federal funds from other sources'are not.to. be used.
as a grant recipient's matching share under' the program. The only'exceptions
to this restriction.a're the HUD Community Development'Bl:ock Grants,'fede'ral
Revenue Sharing funds, and, money made available to tribal.organizations under ,
the`Indian Self -Determination and Education Assistance Act.
'The same .criteria, for determining .if :a work item ;is' an allowable cost •serve to
determine if a work item can be used as an allowable local match. Read the
following list'of allowable and unallowable costs very carefully, making.sure
your project application includes only'those_costs fundable under the program.
I. ACQUISITION PROJECTS
A. Allowable costs
1. Fee -simple acquisition. Acquisition of absolute ownership.
2.. Less-than-fee..simple'acquisition.'.'Acquisition.of a specific
interest other than absolute ownership, including:
a. Acquisition of development rights. The. preservation
objective may be achieved, in certain cases by acquiring
negative easements limiting -a property owner's right to
develop, alter, or use all -'or part .of the property: For
.,example, a facade easement binds an owner, for specific
compensation, not to alters an exterior without the
permission of the easement.holder. Easements,to protect
historic or' prehistoric 'resources, or`:the ,environments- of
historic resources, are also allowable. Detailed
restrictions in the form -of -covenants -shall, be, included in
easement deeds.
b. Acquisition of remainder interest. .Acquisition of'property
subject to a life estate. Granting a'•life.,.estate allows.
• the original property owner`.to use. -the land during his/her.
lifetime. A historic preservation group might grant a life
estate to the donor of a significant building..
3. Other allowable costs. These include donated services (rates
used must be.consistent with those paid for.similar work in a'
grant recipient's location); direct cost. (such As,title''
examination and reports); option and closing costs; legal fees.
`for.negotiating sales; appraisal'costs; audit: costs; and costs'
of relocation assistance for parties displaced from homes and
businesses; in accordance with the Uniform Relocation Assistance
and.Real Property,Acquisition Policies Act of 1970. (This act
=.42-
I
regulates benefits to be provided under grant agreements for
parties:displaced as.a result. of federally -assisted
undertakings).
4. Unallowable costs
a." Acquisition of title.or interest for which other federal
funding.has been provided.
b. Costs of'court actions.'
c. Donated property. Reimbursements cannot be made for the

.Area of Expertise: archives, cultural geography, ethnic or folklife values, historic

Region or County: Planning regions have yet to be determined. There is no "good" way
to divide the State. The self-evident regions of one discipline seldcm match those of
any other. The boundaries of managing agencies overlap in bewildering' fashion. The
State must, however, be 'divided in order to deal with the eceplexity bf our task.
Two alternative ways of dividing the State have been developed. Each results in eight
basic Planning Regions. The differences depend upon whether "operating plan areas" will
be developed in accord with geographic zones or along county lines. 'Both have problems
and advantages which will be. weighed carefully.
Eight tentative Planning Regions are suggested here, based on the "geographic zones"
alternative. They include NORTH OOAST RANGE (Coast. Ranges, Santa Rasa north), NORTHEAST
(Valley, Sierra, Plateau, Glenn and Butte counties north), BAY REGIONS (Coast Range,
Santa Rosa. to Monterey), CENTRAL (Valley and Sierra, Colusa to Stanislaus 'county), SOUTH
k COAST' RANGES (Coast and Transverse Ranges, south of Monterey to Ventura), SOUTH CEM'RAL

WHAT WILL IT DO? THAT MAY BE UP TO YOU. Qrov'lle, California
I �. • • •.•I • •4 wz • • I
—A considerable number of structures, archaeological' sites; and 'other' -resources
are being identified as potentially important, while others go unidentified.
-There . is .disagreement both.within. and.,,outside. of the professional . caTimu pity
about proper criteria for judging the significance of these resources.
—There is a lack of co-ordination among agencies and groups regarding standards
for inventory, evaluation, and management of these heritage resources.
—Time and money may be spent on management of specific"resources without much
certainty that -.'they- are -:worth-.:that expenditure-.- -
—Important'historic resources are being lost through lack of attention,'while
responsible individuals attempt to reooncile conflicting public.needs.
NOT ALL OF YOU WHO READ THIS WILL AGREE THAT THESE ARE THE CRUCIAL ISSUES. IN
FACT, OUR BIGGEST PROBLEM MAY BE THE INABILITY TO REACH CONSENSUS RDGARDING THE
UNDERLYING `ISSUES THE PLAN!:4,S SUPPOSED --TO RESOLVE.
The State Heritage Task Force was created two years ago to examine the issues
and to- rend future5heritage preservation- directions. One of their,--formost
recommendations is for .the legislature to authorize adequate funding for a
statewide heritage planning effort, to begin in 1985. In addition, the State
Historical Resources Conmission is under. legislative mandate to address the
"significance" of�'cultural resources. Finally, -Federal regulations require that
State Offices of Historic Preservation inaugurate such a planning effort now in
order to receive Federal funds. That reality has prompted us to begin work
toward a' corrprehensive.,planning effort this spring-:_-.
THE GOOD NEWS: California's planning effort can take advantage of the lessons
learned by states that have already initiated similar plans. These states have
followed a very flexible plan model offered by the National Park Service: The
Resource Protection Planning Process (ccnyronly known as RP -3).
THE BAD NEWS: Corrgaletion of 'a worthwhile plan will be a.denanding,_ potentially
expensive, task, involving the cooperation of hundreds of people around the
State. Yet development
planning effort begins with minimum funding. Plan develnt
will take. more time than is desirable unless fiscal 'support can be -increased.
- ,. z•
BASIC TENETS OF THE PLANNING PROCESS IN MUST STATES:
1. The "Study Unit." The complex mix :of cultural resources of a state are
broken down into more manageable thematic, groups, called."study units,"
that are geographically bounded and reflect limited time periods. _
2. The "Operating Plan." For each "study unit" the array of resource types
is described, known and predicted number of•each type specified, impacts
described, and "significance" criteria formulated. Specific recommend-
ations are -made for agency survey techniques and management goals.
3. "Local Control. The criteria and guidelines are developed -with the
broadest possible public participation. This is.ensured by, limiting the
size of study units to a local or regional scale. ,
THE GOAL IS M PRODUCE A MODULAR DOCLJMERr. An effective Plan must take into
account local variability in resource types, existing resource information,
impacts on resources, public interests, and other factors. We envision a number
of independent operating plan areas within each of approximately eight planning
regions in the State. Each will eventually have a document. This will allow
plan development to proceed at different rates in each Planning Region.
THESE PLANS WILL BE MORE THAN "OVERVIEWS" OF EXISTING K4OWLEDGE. Operating
plans will take advantage of background information gathered in some 170 exist-
ing 'Overviews" of local California areas, citing rather than repeating their
contents. But we envision operating plans going much farther, establishing
heritage value priorities to allow decision makers in federal, state, and local
agencies to effectively manage important historic resources.
THESE PLANS WILL AUGMffNr, NOT SUPSRCIDE, EXISTING IJOCAL AGENCY HERITAGE PLANS
AND INVENIORIES. State Plan documents will provide a basis for a co-ordinated
approach toward assessing heritage management values among contiguous agencies.
They will change none of the existing prerogatives or responsibilities of
specific agencies.
HOW DO WE GET 7HERE FROM HERE? Clearly, the Plan must be organized in some
hierarchical fashion to accommodate regional needs while maintaining some
consistency across the State. The process we are initiating will involve people
on three levels:
Statewide Steering Ccn dttee: This ecnTnittee will clarify the goals and
conceptual structure of the History Plan, define boundaries of Planning
Regions, and ensure consistency of Planning Region products.
Planning Region Steering Cmmittees: Cannittees of at least nine members will
will meet to tailor broad statewide concepts to the regional situation,
determine local operating plan areas, and guide eoirpletion of pilot
"operating plans." These eonrdttees will consist of local citizens
representing a variety of heritage interests.
Operating Plan Work Groups: Interested individuals will take part in volun-
teer workshops within pilot" operating plan areas to produce study units and
begin development of operating plans. There will be at least one workshop
for each broad resource category (prehistoric sites, historic sites, built
environment, intangibles, etc.).
GOALS FOR THIS YEAR: SHPO has contracted with Dr. David Fredrickson to provide
a small, part-time paid staff for this year. Goals are to:
1. Have the State Historic Resources Cemmissien appoint the Statewide
Steering Committee and bring them together for one or two retreats to
solidify the initial Plan structure, hopefully in March.
2. Solicit members for Planning Region Committees in each of two "pilot"
Regions (South Central Coast and North Coast) and bring them together to
construct the geographic range of operating plan areas for their Region, as
well as to plan the mechanism for broad scale involvement in "study unit"
and 'operating plan" development.
3. Carry out "study unit" workshops with individuals who wish to help develop
specific study unit sections for selected operating plan areas within the
two pilot Regions.
4. Produce a "Plan for Plan Coapletion," including alternative future steps
given various finance levels, and produce phase.I documents for
pilot operating plan -areas, by August 1.
WE SOLICIT YOUR HELP IN SEL. =24G STATEWIDE AMID REGIONAL CCt-24ITTEE MEMBERS. A
questionnaire is attached through which you may suggest effective spokespersons
for specific heritage areas, persons who have positive attitudes, and who may be
willing to spend some hours attending plan workshops and producing or editing
slime documents.
THE NEW CALIFORNIA HISTORY PLAN MUST HELP ALL OUR CITIZENS, ARMAW -
LDGISTS AND HERITAGE SPECIALISTS, PROFESSICNAL PLANNERS, LAND MANAGERS, AND
PROPERTY OWNERS, FOCUS ON PRUIT=ICN OF IMPORTANT HISTORIC AND PREHISTORIC
RESOURCES. Even if major funding increases should come about, the real work
will have to be done by people interested in heritage conservation—people like
you. Some form of Plan will be developed! We need your involvement to make
sure it will be useful.

RE: Council Review of Draft Historical Preservation District
Ordinance
,The: purpose. .of this memo is to .provide ..Council members with some
--background- on the development of the"Draft Historical Preservation.
District Ordinance and to suggest Aspe-ct°s" of ,.it which should be 'care
fully reviewed by the Council. A draft ordinance prepared by Clif
Sellers was reviewed by the Planning Commission at a June 29 Study
Session and set for a Public Hearing on August 10. Although all or-
ganizations and individuals who had previously expressed interest were
given.copies of the draft and notified of the hearing, written comments
were few and Joseph Angelo was the only speaker at the hearing'._ The
Commission continued its consideration to an August 18 Study Session
where the Commission reviewed the draft very carefully and made many
small changes. At its September 10 meeting, the Commission made sever
al more changes, adopted a Negative Declaration of Environmental Impact
and recommended Council approval of the revised draft which was sent to
1 the -Council and staff with the September 21 agenda: I have since met
with the Council Committee on this area and their recommendations are
presented below also.
The main intent of this ordinance is to preserve and protect the -beauty
and character of older structures of significant value within a desig-
nated area. The ordinance is an amendment to the Zoning Ordinance and
would create a new overlay zone that could be combined with any other
conventional zone.. The draft contains very few specific criteria for
building design or -appearance and simply- sets up a procedure for dev-
eloping and applying such criteria. The version recommended by the
Planning Commission would set up a five -member advisory board.appointed
by the Council whose main duties would be to prepare specific guide-
lines for the new district and •following adoption by the Council, apply
those guidelines by reviewing proposed development and making recom-
mendations to the Planning Commission and Development Review Board.
The major change from the Commission proposal in the attached*recom-
-'mendat"ions by Councilmembers Wilson and Rossas is that the advisory
board would recommend the guidelines for development in the district,
but would not be involved in actual project review on a continuing
basis. Implementation of -written guidelines would thus be the respon-
sibility of the existing decision-making bodies (Planning Commission,
Development Review Board and City Council) and no new review agency or
period woul.d-'be created. Nothing would prevent those bodies from
requesting advisory board comments At -any time, and board members
could provide input at'Public Hearings if they so desired. Other text
changes recommended by the Council Committee include limiting appli-
cation of development guidelines to designated landmarks within a
district, reviewing interior changes also for those landmarks, all
more Council flexibility in appointing and reappointing board
members and allowing removal of existing signs when businesses change.
The area proposed for initial designation is.a major difference between
the recommendations of the Commission and the Council Committee. The
area proposed by the Commission is a three -block section of Montgomery
Street in the downtown commercial area, the "historic area" that was
designated in a 1979 resolution by the Council. This recommendation
followed lengthy discussion.about the pros and cons of designating
large areas with a mixture of historically significant buildings and
new -buildings not 'requiring preservation. The area is small, visible,
has many old structures and property owners interested in such a desig-
nation, and would be a workable area for the board's initial efforts.
Following surveys of historical structures in other areas, the board
could then recommend additional areas for H -p zoning and the appropriate
guidelines for such areas.

The Council Committee recommends_the'.i':nitial. designation of the much

which would include most: df,,'the: den==tra1 'city and most of the older

protection of both residential and-commercial landmarks in areas of

I would recommend that the Council Study Session focus.on.'the three
major.aspects of.this ordinance.
1. The area of initial designation.
2; The duties of the advisory board.
3. Which development activities should be controlled.
If the Council wishes to adopt an amendment to the.Zoning,Ordinance
different than the Planning Commission recommendation,. a favorable
vote-by at least five Council members is required. If the changes
are significant, it may also be a good idea to refer them back to,
the Commission for comment. 1 would be glad to present such at the

PROCEDURES FOR CERTIFYING HISTORIC REHABILITATION
The Tax Reform Act of 1976 offers Federal income tax incentives to owners of
depreciable historic commercial or income producing buildings who undertake
rehabilitation. In order to qualify for these incentives, the rehabilitation
work must be certified as conforming to standards established by the Secretary
of the Interior. The following procedures should be followed in -order to
accomplish certification:
1. Locate an appropriate qualified historic property. The building must
be of historic and/or architectural significance and meet the
criteria set forth for the National Register of Historic Places or be
part of a certified local historic district. Besides meeting these
criteria, the building must be subject to depreciation as defined by
Section 167 of the Internal Revenue. lode of 1954. It is most
'important that you choose a building and devise a project which will
be a sound business venture. If you invest in an unsound project, no
amount .of tax benefits will help you.
2. How does a building become a qualified histor'ierstructure/for the
purposes of the Tax Reform Act? There are6three'ways:
4.w� IT V
A. The building may be listed in the National Re".gister of Historic
Places.m
B. The building may be a contributing structure in a National
Register District.
C. The building may be a contributing structure•lin a local district
established by local ordinance approved by the Secretary of the
Interior.
The Office of Historic Preservation can tell you if,�your
prospective building falls into one of these categories. If it
does not, the Office of Historic Preservation can also give you
advice on whether the building can be registered individually or
be part of a historic district.
3. You have purchased a building that qualifies under the criteria,
listed above. Now what do you do? First, hire a preservation
architect. The Office of Historic Preservation has a list of
knowledgeable architects in this field. If there is no preservation
architect in your area,,them hire a qualified architect.
PROCEDURES FOR CERTIFYING HISTORIC REHABILITATION (Cont'd.)
4. Draw your rehabilitation plans according to the Secretary of the
Interior's "Standards for Rehabilitation". The "Standards" are
available from the Office of Historic Preservation. These general
guidelines require that rehabilitation does not destroy the historic
or architectural integrity of the building'.' Questions regarding
integrity should be addressed to our preservation architect. We can
review the rehabilitation plans at any stage to help ensure that the
final plan. will be approved.
5. When your plans have,been.finalized; submit the plans, drawings,
photos, and other material supporting a completed Historic
Preservation Certification Application to the Office of Historic
Preservation for review. The application may be obtained by writing
OHP.
6. Rehabilitation completed between June 14, 1976 and June 15, 1981 may
be certified. If you wish'to certify work that has been done without
prior approval, submit.the appropriate documentation, including
before and after photographs, to the Office -of Historic Preservation
for preliminary review.
7. The recommendation of.the State Historic Preservation Officer to
approve or deny certification will be forwarded to the -Heritage
Conservation and Recreation Service (HCRS). HCRS has the.final
authority over certification of rehabilitation.
s
The property owner-may.begin!utilizing the tax incentives as soon as .the
Historic Preservation Certification Application is submitted to the OHP but,
if the application is denied,,the owner will be liable to pay back taxes. For
this reason, it is recommended that property owners who intend to rehabilitate
historic structures should contact at the earliest possible time, Steade R.

REVIEW'OF REHABILITATION WORK.
UNDER SECTION 2124 OF -THE TAX REFORM ACT OF 1976
Office of Archeology -and Historic Preservation, Heritage Conservation and
Recreation -Service,. U.S. Department of.,the,Interior, Washington, D:C. 20240
Tax incentives. for the preservation and rehabilitation of historic strut—
tures- were established by Section 2.124of thr: Tax Reform Act of 1976 (Public,
Law 94-455)., To Qualify for the tax incentives, property owners muse
secure certifications from the ,Secretary of the Interior regarding _the his-
toric character of a struc*ttirez and the quality of rh.e rehabiiitatiOn wur.k
performed on a structure. Certifications c f Stare c r local statutes and
of the significance of buildings within historic. districts are issued bk,
the National Regisrer Division of the Office of Ar,.hec?lo ty and Historic
Preservation. U.S. Department of the Interior. This- fact sheet explains
the final step of .the certification proce:.ti: the review of rehabilit;Jti(,n
work by the Technical Preservation Services Divisicn, Office of. Arrhenlo,_,y
and Historic Preservation, U.S. Department of the Interior, pursuant to
the Tac Reform Act of 1976. Additional information on the certification
processes may be found in Department of the Interior regulations regarding
historic preservation certifications (36 CFR Part 67), the instruction .
sheet accomoanying the -,Historic Preservation Certification'Aoplication,
or by contacting the appropriate State Historic Preservation. Officer.or
Technical Preservation Services Division.
REVIEW OF PROPOSED WORK
Technical.Preservation Services Division will review any proposed, ongoing,
or completed rehabilitation project undertaken on a historic structure whether
or not -the applicant holds title to the property. The office will'notify the
applicant in -writing -whether or not the work meets the Secretary of the
Interior's "Standards for Rehabilitation." These standards are used to
determine if a.rehabilitation qualifies as "certified rehabilitation" for
purposes -of the Tax Reform Act of 1976. Applicants requesting this review
must complete.Part 2 of a Historic Preservation Certification Application
and' submit it through the appropriate State Historic Preservation Officer.
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT O1WMERS OBTAIN A DETER.MINATION FROM TECH 41CAL PRESER-
VATION SERVICES' DIVISION TiiAT THE PROPOSED WORK MEETS THE.SECRETARY'ti "STAND-
ARDS FOR REHABILITATION" PRIOR TO UNDERTAKING WORK. Approval by Technical
Preservation Services Division of proposed work will.enable owners to proceed
knowing that- the word: meets the,necessary requirements; approval of proposed
work. will also expedite certification of.'the completed project.
REVIEW OF' COMPLETED. �4ORK,
Actual certifications of rehabilitation will.be issued ONLY to owners of
record -of "certified historic structures and only AFTER the rehabilitation
Project has been completed. Applicants reauestine certification must com-
plete Part 2*of a Historic Preservation Certification Application and
submit it:, along with the project completion date, a statement that in the
owner's opinion the project meets the Secretary's Standards, and ohotographs
of the -completed project, to the appropriate State Historic Preservation Of-
ficer.. Review is undertaken at the State Level before the aoolication is
forwarded to Technical Preservation Services Division for certification..
In general, rehabilitation work undertaken on "certified historic structures"
between June, 1975 and.June,. 1981 may qualify for the preservation provis-
ions described in Section 2124 of the Tax Reform Act of 1976. (hwners may
request certification of rehabilitation work undertaken within this five
year period (consult:the legislation for exact dates) even if the work ?las.
been.completed for a year or more. Only those persons incurring expenses
for "ce.rtified.rehabilitation" may elect the tax treatments described in
Section 2124. Ouestions.concer-ring which rehabilitation expenses qualify
for accelerated depreciation or rapid amortization should be directed to
legal counsel orthe appropriate local. Internal Revenue Service office.
THE SECRETARY OF THE INTERIOR'S STANDARDS FOR REHABILITATION
All. projects are reviewed and evaluated in accordance with the Secretary
of. the Interior's "Standards for Rehabilitation." These ten standards
are broadly worded to guide the rehabilitation of all historic buildings.
such as industrial complexes, warehouses, schools, commercial buildings,
residences., and other structures. The underlying concern expressed in the
standards is preservation of significant. historical and architectural
characteristics of a -structure in the ;process of rehabilitation. Technical
Preservation Services Division reviews the entire rehabi.litarion project .
rather than just a single segment of work: certification is based on Whether
the overall project is successful. in meeting the intent of the Secrecarv's
Standards. Copies of the standards and guidelines for applying the standards
are-available..from the appropriate State Historic. Preservation Officer or
from Technical. Preservation Services Division.
COMPLETING HISTORIC PRESERVATION CERTIFICATION APPLICATIONS
\ All. requests for review and/or certification of rehabilitation work should

work. Include site work,. work on both exterior and interior of t e
building,. and new construction. Begin by describing any site work, followed
by work.on.the.exterior,, and finally work on the interior. A separate block
should be used todescribe a particular rehabilitation activity and its
effect on.one or more architectural features or spaces (see examples below).
Iin the left side of the block,, indicate. whether the .feature described
is original to the structure,.added at a later date, or new construction.
Give approximate date of feature. In -the appropriate space describe the
physical condition for. each feature selected. Indicate :whether the
condition of the feature is: l) good --needs minor repair; 2) fair --needs
major repair; 3) poor--r.epair.may not be Eeas.ible; 4) unrestorable--deter-
iorated.or damaged beyond repair.; 5) unknown. Indicate photographs) 'anal
drawing(s) that show .the feature described.
In the right side'of`the.block, explain the nature and purpose of the
rehabilitation work.to.be undertaken on the particular feature. Describe

project..
Examvle #1: If a new plaza is to.be built adjacent. to the building,
write "plaza" in'the blank for architectural.feature and indicate
thatthe feature is.new.. Describe the new feature by outlining the
proposed scope of work. In describing the work and.its impact on -
.existing features, address the work as it relates to the "Standards for
Rehabilitation;"for example,. will distinctive site features be destroyed
in constructing the plaza? tmat efforts are being made to protect and
preserve archeological resources affected by. the plaza?

the 'existin:-; condition, indicatewhy these walls will be demolished' - `or
example, to, allow room for a new elevator, or'to'ruke. two small roans inch
a larger, more usable space. In discussing the impact of the &-i"oiitian
on the interior, discuss whether or not the walls or the spaces they enclose
are -significant for example, do the walls have early wainscoting or pLwA.Ster-
work? Does alteration of the walls cause a change in scale t the i!iterior?
Rey descriptions to a floor plan which shows "before" and "after" .,rzl1
arrangements.
Photographs. The -property owner must submit sufficient photographs with
Part 2 to document the conditions of the interior and exterior prior to
rehabilitation and to show the areas of proposed or completed work.
graphs of"before" conditions must be submitted even if the rehabilitation
is completed; such documentation enables Technical Preservation Services
Division to evaluate the effect of the rehabilitation on the historic
building.. All photographs must be captioned, dates, and numbered sec?sentially:
photographs should be referred to in the application narrative, where ao-
propriate. In many cases, it may be helpful to mark directly or. the
graphs the. areas or proposed or completed work. Photographs are nor rer.ttrn-
able and should be labeled to include property name and brief description
of what is shown; they may be.attached in the upper right corner of the
application form with a staple or paperclip. Photographs may be black and
white or color and should be large enough to show architectural :eatures
clearly..
Drawings or sketches. Drawings or sketches are required for proposed work
to show planned.alterations or new construction. They must be sufficiently
detailed to show the work accurately although completed working drawings are
NOT NECESSARY. Documentation should include floor plans and, where necessary,
sections and elevations. All drawings and sketches submitted with the ap-
plication must be -numbered sequentially and -should be referred to in the
application narrative. Preferably, drawings and sketches should be st.b.nicted
in a•format that can be conveniently folded for filing.

would. not be necessary for the owner to restore the ground floor to its
original 19th century -appearance.. At the same time., unless there were
photographs of the 1950s alterations - the conditions that the owner had
to work with it'would be -difficult to evaluate the overall effect of
the:new rehabilitation -plans.
2.. Is the -rehabilitation work and its effect on the existing building
clearly described in written and.visual documentation?
The, application. should clearly identify all major. work. areas: on the
exterior arid interior.of the building, and: surrounding site; attached
or adjacent new construction should also be described. Photographs
can -be marked up with felt tip pens to show new window openings,.
repair to deteriorated features, new additions, etc. It is important
to'key any photographs or drawings that are submitted with the actual
application.
3. If major features. or spaces are to be altered in the rehabilitation
plans, are these actions adequately justified.in the application?
The "Standards for -Rehabilitation" add.rtss the -preservation of those
qualifies of a building which caused it to be designated a "certified
historic structure." If rehabilitation plans call for the removal
of distinctive•archi.tectural features or the breaking up of significant
interior'spaces, it is important that rhe-accomeanying documentation ad-
dresses these.. changes to the existing building.
TIME FRAMS: FOR REVIEW ..AND CERTIFICATION
The length of time fo.r-review and evaluation by the State Historic
Preservation Officer and. by Technical Preservation Services Division
varies from project to project. Review of rehabilitation work, which
can -take place.simultan.eously with evaluations of historic significance,
can take up to 90' days (45 at the. State level; 45 at Technical Preser-
vation Services -Division). If adequate documentation is received with
the initial submission, review will be greatly expedited. When additional
information is requested either at the State or Federal level, review
will be delayed until this material is received.

•
Thefollowir_g "Standards for,Rehabilitation" shall be used by the
Secretary of the Interior when determining if a rehabilitation project
qualifies as "certified rehabilitation" pursuant to the Tax Reform Act
of 197.6. These standards appear in Section 36 of the Code of Federal
Regulations, Part 67.
"Rehabilitation" means the process of returning a property to a state
of utility, through repair or alteration, which makes possible an•ef
ficient contemporary use while preserving those portions and features
of the property which are significant to its historic, architectural
and cultural values..
1.. Every reasonable effort shall be made to provide a compatible
use for a property which requires minimal alteration of the building,
structure, or site and its environment, or to. use a property for its
originally intended purpose.
2. The distinguishing original qualities or character of.a building,
structure, or site and its environment shall not be destroyed. The
removal or alteration of any historic material or distinctive
I features should be avoided when possible.
3. All buildings, structures, and sites shall be recognized as
products of their:own time. Alterations that have no historical
basis and which seek to create an earlier appearance. shall be
discouraged.
4. Changes•which may have taken place in the course of time are
evidence of the history and development of a building, structure,.or
site and its environment. These changes may have acquired
significance in their own right, and this significance shall be
recognized and respected.
5. Distinctive stylistic features or examples of skilled.
craftsmanship which characterize a building, structure, or site shall
be ,treated with sensitivity.
6. Deteriorated architectural features shall be repaired rather than
replaced, wherever possible. In the event replacement is necessary,
the new material should match the material being replaced in
composition, design, color, texture, and other visual qualities.
Repair or replacement of missing architectural features should be
based on accurate duplications of features, substantiated by historic,
physical, or pictorial evidence rather than on conjectural designs or
the availability of different architectural elements from other
buildings or structures.
2
7. The surface cleaning of structures shall be undertaken with the
gentlest means possible. Sandblasting and other cleaning methods
that will damage the historic building materials shall not be
undertaken.
8. Every reasonable effort shall be made to protect and preserve
archeological resources affected by, or adjacent to any project.
9. Contemporary design for alterations and additions to existing
properties shall not be discouraged when such alterations and
additions do not destroy significant historical, architectural or .
cultural material, and such design is compatible with the size,
scale, color, material, and character of the property, neighborhood
or environment.
10. Wherever possible, new additions or alterations to structures
shall be done in such a manner that if such additions or alterations
were to be removed in the future, the essential form and integrity
of the structure would be unimpaired.
GUIDELINES FOR APPLYING THE SECRETARY OF THE INTERIOR'S STANDARDS FOR
REHABILITATION
The following guidelines are designed to help individual.property
owners formulate plans for the rehabilitation, preservation, and
continued use of old buildings consistent with the intent of the
Secretary of the Interior's "Standards for Rehabilitation." The
guidelines pertain to buildings of all occupancy and construction
types, sizes, and materials. They apply to permanent and temporary,
construction on the exterior and interior of historic buildings.as
well as new attached or adjacent construction, although not all
work implied in the Standards and guidelines is required for each
rehabilitation project.
Techniques, treatments, and methods consistent with the Secretary's
"Standards for Rehabilitation" are listed in the "recommended" column
on the left. Those techniques, treatments, and methods which may
adversely affect a building's architectural and historic qualities
are listed in the "not recommended" column on the right. Every effort
will be made to update and expand the guidelines as additional tech-
niques and treatments become known.
Specific information on rehabilitation and preservation technology may
be obtained by writing to the Technical Preservation Services Division,
Heritage Conservation and Recreation Service, U.S. Department of the
Interior, Washington, D.C. 20240, or the appropriate State Historic
Preservation Officer. Advice should also be sought from qualified profes-
sionals, including architects, architectural historians, and archeologists
skilled in the preservation, restoration, and rehabilitation of old
buildings.

historic properties will continue to deteriorate because private financial sources on
the local level are not available.. The Marks Historical Rehabilitation Act of 1976
(Health and Safety Code, Section 37600) provides the authorization f.or such financing.
The Marks Act authorizes the issuance of bonds and bond participation notes by a
city, county, city and. county, or a redevelopment agency functioning under the
Community Redevelopment Law for the purpose of financing historic rehabilitation and
for the purpose of funding or' refunding such bonds or notes. Historic rehabilitation
means the process of returning a historic property to a state of utility, through
repair or alteration, which makes. possible an efficient contemporary use while
preserving -those portions and features of the property which are. significant to its
historic, architectural, and cultural values. Historic property means any building
or part thereof, -object, structure, monument, or collection thereof deemed of
importance to- the. history, architecture, or culture of an area as determined by an
appropriate governmental agency, such as a local official historic preservation board
or commission. Historic property may also 'include structures, or collection thereof
on existing national and state historic registers, or official inventories, such as
the National Register of Historic Places and the State Historical Landmarks Program.
The_ definitions -of :rehabilitation and historic- properties are sufficiently broad to
allow the use. of the Marks Act for a variety of projects. These low= interest loads'
can, therefore, have.a substantial impact on historic preservation and urban.
rev i to 1 i z ati on in Ca 1 if orn-i.a, as .well as local economies. Fresno and Pasadena are
presently implementing the Marks Act. I strongly encourage other cities, counties,
or redevelopment agencies to consider implementation of the Marks Act, as well' as
encourage preservationists to seek utilization of the Marks Act in their communit-es.
If the Office of Historic Preservation can be of any assistance with additional
information on the Marks Act, technical preservation assistance, and guidance'for
rehabilitation work, as well as information on the tax incentives, please feel free
to contact us at the above address.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
I have been i.n.contact :with the Planning Department concerning.
the possibility of having the road frontage in:,the patented Town of

to insure protection' for those seeking -to restore the historical.
aspects of this. important -Butte County site. It is obvious that:a
mobile home would not fit in next to a replica of the Oad,Fellows or .
Masonic lodge halls._
dth ail the land control laws we have, it appears that Butte
County has failed'to include an historical cone, the only proper zone,.
in the..minds of some heri.tage.conscious people,'..to justify land use laws
which abrogate basic property rights so important to George Washington,
Abraham Lincoln, Calvin Coolidge, and the host of other great Americans -
concerned about the future of this ration. While the county is drafting
a suitable historical zone, temporary protection perhaps could be afforded
through implementation of R-C(Resource Conservation.Zone) Section A, # .
6, and/or -Section B # 2,3.
You might also consider including the To:,m•of. Oregon City, because
this _liS,.or-11-c site,. as ..ell as Cherokee is located on .the historic
Diggin's Drive which has been approved by Butte County and placed in
its master -plan for future development. The Diggin's Drive would run-
from
unfrom historical sites in doT,,mtown Oroville, across Oroville Dam, over the
old wagon road still existing to Oregon City, and thence to Cherokee, where
it would connect with Highway 70 to Reno, Chico, Paradise, and Oroville.
Sometime ago, I appeared before state agencies and secured approval for.:
the road to connect with the existing thoroughfare across Oroville Dam.
As other areas seek to exploit historical and scenic attractions far
less provocative than those cited above, it is time.for Butte County official-
dom to.take notice and assist those wh6.have had to go it alone for years.
Deecii n�: the F.hmann hone to the Butte County Historical Society is a good

MODEL CULTURAL RESOURCES MANAGEMENT ORDINANCE
FOR CALIFORNIA CITIES AND COUNTIES
Introduction
Attached is a "Model Cultural Resources Management Ordinance" for. use by local
governments in California. It is meant to serve as a guide to the preparation
of local ordinances that provide for cultural resources, including historical,
architectural, and cultural landscape features. Archeological resources have
not been included in this particular model ordinance, although they could be
incorporated. (Due to the sensitive nature of archeological resources, a.
different approach needs to be developed in.ordinance•planning. -Contact-the
Office of Historic_Preservation, P. 0. Box 2390, Sacramento, CA 95811, for
information.) Local jurisdictions might also consider protecting their
significant natural objects, cultural resources, and areas by a parallel
management ordinance for natural features. City or county attorneys should be
consulted, of course, in the preparation of any local cultural resources
management.ordinance.
It should be noted that this ordinance may serve asa model for both cities
and counties in California, although for the sake of simplicity most of .the
language.in the text refers.to cities only. For example, in speaking of the
local legislative body the term'"City Council" was used consistently; counties
would.routinely.substitute "Board of Supervisors" at these points.
Each community/county is. unique,.demanding the.careful tailoring of an
ordinance to particular needs. To aid preservationists in drafting a useful.
ordinance, concerned local attorneys should keep abreast.of preservation
legislation and should be made aware of the draft reviewing services provided
by the National Trust and the State Office of Historic Preservation.
(National Trust for.Historic Preservation, Western Regional Office, 681
Market, Suite -859, San Francisco, CA 94105; Survey Coordinator, Office of
Historic Preservation, as given above:)
It should be stressed that the attached Model Cultural Resource Management
Ordinance is intended only to provide suggestions and that in some instances
these suggestions may prove inappropriate for a particular situation.
Many additional materials are available on historic preservation, including
sources on local ordinances. Two basic references for Californians are:

Trust; Roger Holt, Deputy City Attorney,.City of Los Angeles; and'others who
provided.background and commentary at various points in the production of this
model ordinance. Kimberly D. Allan, a•law student at the University of
California, Davis, prepared a draft of this model ordinance when she worked as
a Governor's Intern in the Office of Historic Preservation.

1. Title.
•
This Chapter shall be known as the Cultural Resources Management Ordinance of
the City.
ANNOTATION: See California Government Code Sections 37361 and 25373. These
sections do not refer explicitly to cultural resources management, but they do
enable City,and County legislative bodies to provide for "the protection,
enhancement, perpetuation, or use of places, sites, buildings, structures;
works of art and other objects having a special character or special
historical or aesthetic.interest or value" (Section 25373). A11 provisions of
local ordinances should conform to this State enabling legislation.'
2. Purpose.
The purpose -of this Chapter is to promote the public health, safety,.and
general welfare by providing for the identification, protection, enhancement,
perpetuation, and use of improvements, buildings, structures, signs, objects,
features, sites, places, and areas within the City that reflect special
elements'of the City's architectural, artistic, cultural,.engineering,
esthetic, historical, political, social, and -other heritage for the following
reasons:
A. To safeguard the City's.heritage as embodied and reflected -in such.
resources;
B. To encourage public knowledge, understanding, and appreciation of the
City's past;
C. To foster civic and neighborhood pride and a sense of identity based on
the recognition and use of cultural resources;
D. To promote the enjoyment and use of cultural resources appropriate for the
education and recreation of the people of the City; -
E. To preserve diverse and harmonious architectural styles and design
preferences reflecting phases of the City's history and to encourage
complementary contemporary design and construction;
F. To enhance property values and to increase economic and financial benefits -
to -the City and its inhabitants;
G. To protect and enhance the City's attraction to tourists and visitors
(thereby stimulating business and industry);
H. To identify as early'as possible and resolve conflicts between the
preservation of cultural resources and alternative land uses;
4
I. To integrate the preservation of cultural resources and the extraction f
relevant data from such resources into public and.private land management
and development processes;
J. To conserve valuable material and energy resources by ongoing use'and
maintenance of the existing built environment.
ANNOTATION: This section should be carefully drafted, because the constitu-
tionality-of
onstitutionality of a cultural resources°management ordinance often rests on its
purpose clause. The. specific elements of the purpose clause will vary somewhat
depending on a community's preservation needs and goals, but the clauseshould
be comprehensive. In order to weather judicial scrutiny, it should.list the
cultural, social, and educational values of the ordinance and any economic
benefits that the ordinance will confer, such as,tourism or increased
investment in real property.
A good example of a purpose clause is contained in the preservation ordinance
of the City of Santa Barbara:
Purpose.
It is hereby declared as a matter of public policy `that the recognition,
preservation, enhancement, perpetuation and use of structures, natural
features, sites and areas within the City of Santa Barbara having
historic, architectural; archeological, cultural or aesthetic significance
is required in the interest of the health; economic prosperity, cultural
enrichment and general welfare of the people.. The purpose of this
ordinance is.to:
(A) Safeguard the heritage of the City by providing for the protection.of
Landmarks representing significant elements of its history;
.(b). Enhance the visual character of the City by encouraging and
regulating the compatibility of architectural styles within Landmark
Districts reflecting unique and established architectural traditions;
(c) Foster public appreciation of and civic pride in the beauty of the
City: and the accomplishments of its past;
(.d) Strengthen the economy of. the City by protecting and enhancing the
City's attractions to residents, tourists and visitors;
(e) Stabilize and improve.property values within the City;
(f) Promote the'private-and•public use of Landmarks and Landmark
Districts for.the education, prosperity and general welfare of the
people.. (Section 22.22.010, Santa Barbara Municipal,Code, 1977.)
5
3. Area of Application.
This Chapter shall apply to all cultural resources within the City.
ANNOTATION: If a City has already designated any cultural resources or
historic districts, this clause can reflect that by stating, for example,
"This Chapter shall apply to the following described property . . . and such
other property as may -be designated." A map showing existing designated areas
should accompany the ordinance.
4. Definitions.
A. "Alteration" means any exterior change or modification, through public or
private action, of any cultural resource or of any property located within
an historic district including, but not limited to, exterior changes to or
modification of structure, architectural details or visual characteristics
such as paint color and surface texture, grading, surface paving, new
structures, cutting or removal of trees and other natural features,
disturbance of archeological sites or areas, and the placement or removal
of any exterior objects such as signs, plaques, light fixtures, street
furniture, walls, fences, steps, plantings and landscape accessories
affecting the exterior visual qualities of the property.
B. "Cultural resource" means improvements, buildings, structures, signs,
features, sites, places, areas or other objects of scientific, aesthetic,
educational, cultural, architectural, or historical significance to the
citizens of the City.
C. "Exterior architectural feature" means the architectural elements
embodying style, design, general arrangement and components of all of the
outer surfaces of an improvement, including but not limited to, the kind,
color and texture of the building materials and the type and style of all
windows, doors, lights, signs and other fixtures appurtenant to such
improvement.
D. "Historic district" means any area containing improvements which have a
special character, historical interest or aesthetic value or which
represent one or more architectural periods or styles typical to the
history of the City, and which improvements constitute a distinct section
of the City that has been designated an historic district pursuant to this
ordinance.
E. "Improvement" means any building, structure, place, parking facility,
fence, gate, wall, work of art of other object constituting a physical
betterment of real property, or any part of such betterment.
F. "Designated Structure" (landmark, cultural resource, historic structure).
means any improvement that has special historical, cultural, aesthetic or
architectural character, interest or value as part -of the development,
heritage or history of the City, the State of California, or the nation
and that has been designated pursuant to this ordinance.
C.
G. "Designated site" (historic site, cultural resource site, landmark
means a.parcel or part thereof on which a cultural resource is situated,
and any abutting parcel or part thereof constituting part of the premises.
on which the cultural resource is situated, and which has.been designated
a designated site pursuant to this ordinance.
H. "Object" means a material thing of functional, aesthetic, cultural,
symbolic or scientific value,'usually by design or nature movable.
I. "Preservation!' means the identification, study, protection, restoration,
rehabilitation or enhancement of cultural resources.
ANNOTATION: This is not a comprehensive set of definitions, and several
others may be needed, depending upon the individual municipal or county
ordinance and code.
5. Cultural Resources Management Commission (Cultural Heritage Board,
Preservation Board, Landmarks Commission).
A. There is hereby established in the City a Cultural Resources Management
Commission (hereinafter referred to as the "Commission") consisting of
nine unpaid members appointed by the Mayor and approved by the City
Council.
B.: The members of the Commission should include members of preservation
related organizations such as historical societies, museums,.heritage
groups and -civic clubs, as well as members of professional bodies such as
licensed architects, attorneys, and urban. planners. All members must have:
a demonstrated interest in and knowledge of the cultural heritage of the
City and should be residents of the City.
C. As an initial task the Commission shall develop and adopt its own -
operating rules and bylaws, thereafter having the power and authority to
perform all of the duties hereinafter enumerated and provided.
D. The original appointment of the members of the Commission shall be as
follows: four for one year; three for two years; and two .for three
years. Thereafter, appointments shall be made for a three-year term.
E. In the event of a vacancy occurring during the term of a member of the
Commission, the Mayor shall make an interim appointment to fill the
unexpired term of such member, and where such member is required to have
special qualifications, such vacancy shall be filled by interim
appointment, in the manner herein prescribed, with a person having such
qualifications..
ANNOTATION: The number of Commission members and their qualifications should
be modified so as to achieve a commission best qualified to protect the
particular mix of local resources. The composition of the Commission will be
constrained by the availability of local talent; for.example, a small town has
fewer specialized professionals than a large city, and qualifications for
Commission membership in the,two places would reflect this.
In most instances Commission members should be residents of the City; haweve:.-.,
situations might arise where it would be advisable to bring in outside.
expertise.
The number of Commission members should be an odd number and should probably
range from five to nine, to insure an efficiently functioning Commission.
Other professionals who might be considered for the Commission are an
historian, a real estate expert, or a structural engineer. Members of local
community groups, particularly those who have been involved in local
preservation issues, should be considered as potential members. If historic
districts are already extant in the City, appointing one or more residents of
those districts might be desirable. A majority of Commission members should
have some expertise in certain aspects of cultural resource management or
historic preservation to confirm the credibility of the Commission.
The Sacramento Preservation Board has nine members, with the following
qualifications:
(a) One member from the architectural advisory committee.(or any
successor in interest to said committee);
(b) One member who is a licensed architect;
(c). One member who is a licensed structural engineer;
(d) One member from the•City-County Museum and History Commission;
(e) One member from the Sacramento Housing and Redevelopment Commission;
(f) One member from the housing code advisory and appeals board;
(g) One member knowledgeable in local hsitory, architecture and cultural
development selected from a list of nominees submitted by the City -
County Museum and History Commission;
(h) One member who is the owner of his or her residence within the 7Old
City"; and
(i) One member who is specially qualified by reason of training or
experience in structural rehabilitation; or if the member appointed
pursuant.to subsection (h) of this section is additionally qualified
by reason of training or experience in structural rehabilitation then
one member may be appointed at large notwithstanding -the provisions
of this subsection. *(Section 32.202,. Sacramento City Code, 1976.)

pursuant to Sections 9-11 of this Chapter.
J. Review all applications for permits, environmental assessments,
environmental impact reports, environmental impact statements, and other
similar documents,as set forth in this ordinance, pertaining to cultural
resources, or related neighboring property within public view. The
Planning Commission shall forward all such documents to the Commission for.
review and comment. The -Commission shall forward its comments. to the City
Council.
K. Hire staff, retain consultants and conduct studies,,as the Commission
deems desirable or necessary, except that all expenditures of City funds
are subject to prior approval by the City Council.
L. Contract, with prior approval of the City Council, with County, State or
Federal,Government,.or any agency or subdivision of said governments, or

Q. Participate in, promote, and conduct public information, educational, and
interpretive programs pertaining to cultural resources. .
R. Perform any other functions that may be designated by resolution or motion
of the City Council.
ANNOTATION: Rules of procedure and records describing reasons for Commission
actions are extremely important to the Commission's credibility in a court of
law. Your Commission may not need or be able to acquire all of the above
listed powers; but the powers of the Commission should enable it to achieve
the goals or purposes stated in Section 2.
7. Cultural Resource Designation Criteria.
For the purposes of this Chapter, an improvement may be designated a cultural
resource by the City Council, and any area within the City may be.designated
an historic district by the City Council pursuant to Section 8 if it meets the
following criteria:
A. It exemplifies or reflects special elements of the City's cultural,
social,.economic, political, aesthetic, engineering, or architectural
history; or
B. It is identified with persons or events significant in local, state, or
national history; or
C. It embodies distinctive characteristics of a style; type, period, or
method of construction,. or is'a valuable example of the use'of indigenous
materials or craftmanship; or
D. It is representative of the notable work of,a builder, designer,. or
architect.
ANNOTATION: These criteria are derived from the criteria for listing property
in the National Register of Historic Places. Drafters of a preservation
ordinance should consider local potential for cultural resources and historic
10
districts and should establish criteria that reflect that potential, rather
than assuming that the above suggested criteria are optimal for all'.
communities.
8.. Cultural Resource Designation Procedures.
Cultural resources and historic districtsshall be established by the City
Council in the following manner:
A. Any person may request the designation of an improvement as a cultural
resource or the designation of an historic district by submitting an
application for such designation to the Commission. The Commission or
.City Council may also initiate such -proceedings on their own motion.
o
B: The Commission shall conduct a study of the proposed designation and make'
a preliminary determination based on such documentation as it may require,
as to its appropriateness for consideration. If the Commission determines
that the application merits consideration, but only if it so determines,
it shall schedule a public hearing with due speed..
C. The Commission's decision to schedule or not to.schedule a.public hearing
shall be in writing and shall be filed with the Building Official and the
City Clerk. Notice of a'decision not to schedule a public hearing shall
be given by mail to the applicant. No building, alteration, demolition or
removal permits for any improvement, building or structure within the
proposed historic district or relative to a.proposed cultural resource
shall.be issued while the public hearing or any appeal related thereto is
pending. -
D. In the case of a proposed cultural resource and cultural resource site,
notice of the date, place, time and purpose.of the hearing shall be given
by .first class mail to the applicants, owners, and occupants of the
improvement at.least 20 days prior to.the date of the public hearing,
using the name and address of such owners as shown on the latest equalized
assessment rolls, and shall be advertised once in a daily newspaper of
general circulation.
E. In the case of a proposed historic district, notice of the date, place,
time and purpose of the hearing shall be given by first class mail to the,
applicant,,owner and.occupant of all properties within the proposed
district at least 20 days prior to the date of the public hearing, using
the name and address of such owners as shown on the latest equalized
assessment rolls, and shall be advertised five consecutive days in a daily
newspaper of general circulation.
F. At the conclusion of the public hearing, but in no event more.than 30 days
from the date set for the initial public hearing for the designation of a
proposed cultural resource or historic district, the Commission shall
recommend.approval in whole or in part, or disapproval in whole or in part
of the application in writing.
G. The City Council, within 30 days of receipt of the recommendations from
.the Commission, shall by ordinance approve the application in whole or in
part, or shall by motion disapprove it in its entirety.
H. Failure to send any notice by mail to any property owner where the address
of such owner is not a matter or public record shall not invalidate any
proceedings in connection with the proposed designation. The Commission
and Council may also give such other notice as they may deem desirable and
practicable.
ANNOTATION: Ideally, the designation process should: consume no more than two
months. Should more time be necessary,. a mechanism for handling this situation
should be written into the process itself. A decision should not be forced
precipitously, but should be arrived at with due speed.
D
In some instances, when jurisdiction or expertise overlap, the Commission 'may'
need to hold joint hearings with the Planning Commission, with each body
reporting its findings and recommendations separately to the City Council.
Cultural Resource Designation Procedures have been significantly recognized
and sanctioned through the June 1978 Supreme Court decision that upheld the
New York City historic designation of the Penn Central building.
9. Permits.
It is unlawful for any person to tear down, demolish, construct, alter,
remove, or relocate any improvement, or any portion'thereof, which has been
designated a cultural resource or cultural resource site pursuant to the
provisions of this chapter, or which lies within an historic district, or to
alter in any manner any exterior architectural feature of such a cultural.
resource, cultural resource site or improvement within an historic district,
or to place, erect, alter,or relocate any sign within an historic district or
on a cultural resource or cultural resource site, without first obtaining
written approval to do so in the manner provided in this chapter, nor shall.
the Building Official or Planning Commission grant any permit to carry out
such work on a designatedcultural resource or cultural resource site or
within an historic .district, without the prior written approval of the
Commission.
ANNOTATION: Examples of the kinds of permits for which Commission approval
would have to be obtained are building permits, relocation permits, demolition
permits, sewer disconnection permits, and sign permits. This ,section,
however, should not restrict the Commission to regulating situations for which
a permit is required. Cities should make any alteration subject to the review
process.
12
10. Permit Procedure.
The following procedures shall be followed inprocessing applications for `
approval of work covered.by this Chapter.
A. The Building Official shall report any application for a permit to work on
a designated cultural resource to the Commission staff.
B. If no permit is required to pursue work on a designated cultural resource,
whoever is responsible for the work - whether it is the tenant, resident,
or property owner — shall apply for approval to the Commission staff
directly.
C. Such applications shall be accompanied by such materials as are -required
by the Commission and are reasonably necessary for the proper review of
the proposed project:
D. The Commission shall complete. its review and make a decision within 30
days of the date of receipt of the application. Unless legally required,
there shall be no notice, posting or publication requirements for action
on the application, but all decisions, interim or final, shall be made at
regular meetings of the Commission. The Commission's decision shall be in
writing and.shall state the findings of fact and reasons relied upon in
reaching its decision. This decision may be appealed.
E. In review of permits sought in order to wholly or partially remove or
demolish a cultural -resource, cultural resource site or historic district
the Commission may approve or disapprove the issuance of said permit or
permits.
ANNOTATION: Alternatives to giving the Commission absolute power to deny
demolition permit applications would be to require the owner to.put the
property -up for sale for a.certain period of time before the demolition permit
would be granted, or to require the owner to negotiate in -good faith with the
Commission in an attempt to save the property before granting the demolition
permit..
For example; the Sacramento ordinance allows its Preservation Board to delay
demolition for 180 days in the case of a listed structure (cultural resource)
and 90 days in the case of a non -listed structure within a preservation area
(historic.distriet). Both of these periods may be extended an additional 180
days by the City.Council.
Examples -of materials required for submission with'applications.for I .
alterations or new construction are side elevations, exterior drawings, a site
plan, materials samples, photographs, historical data, illustrations of .
proposed.grading or drainage, landscaping plans, and line drawings of adjacent
properties -(especially where the height of an existing improvement will be
altered or in the case of new construction).
13
11. Permit Criteria.
The Commission or the City Councilupon appeal, shall issue an approval for
any proposed work as described in Section 9, if and only if, it determines:
A. In the case of a designated cultural resource, the proposed work would not
detrimentally alter, destroy or adversely affect any exterior
architectural feature; or
B. 'In the case of any property located within an historic district, the
proposed construction, removal, rehabilitation, alteration, remodeling,
excavation or exterior alteration conforms to the prescriptive standards
as adopted by the Commission, and does not adversely affect the character
of the district; or
C. In the case of construction of a new improvement, building or structure
upon a cultural resource site, the exterior of such improvements will not
adversely affect and will be compatible with the external appearance of
existing designated improvements, buildings and structures on said site.
ANNOTATION:. To effectively judge whether or not proposed work conforms to the
standards adopted by the Commission, a set of criteria shall be developed by
the Commission'against which requests for alterations, new construction, or
other work can be evaluated.
12. Appeals.
The following actions by the Commission may be appealed by any interested
party to the City Council:
A. The Commission's decision not to hold a public hearing on an application
for designation of a cultural resource or historic district;
B. A determination made after a public hearing not to designate a proposed
cultural resource or historic district;

schedule a public hearing to be held no later than 30 days after the notice of

13. Ordinary Maintenance and Repair.
Nothing in this chapter shall be construed to prevent the ordinary maintenance
or repair of any exterior architectural feature in or on any property covered'
by this chapter that does not involve a change in design, material or external
appearance thereof, nor does this ordinance prevent the construction,
reconstruction, alteration, restoration, demolition or removal of any such
feature when the Building -Officer certifies to the Commission that such -action
is required for the public safety due to an unsafe or dangerous condition
which cannot be rectified through the use of the California Historical,
Building Code.
14._ Duty to Keep in Good Repair.
The owner occu ant or, other
p person in actual charge of a cultural resource,
or an improvement, building or structure in an historic district shall keep in
good repair all of.the exterior portions of such improvement, building or
structure, all of the interior portions thereof when subject to control as
specified in the designating ordinance or permit, and all interior portions
thereof whose maintenance is necessary.to prevent deterioration.and decay of
any exterior architectural feature.
It shall be the duty of the Building Official to -enforce this section.
ANNOTATION' The City of Seattle has an ordinance concerning the Pioneer
Square -Historic District which allows the Superintendent of Buildings to make
improvements.necessary for the maintenance of buildings in historic districts
and to charge the costs of those repairs to the owner,'after such owner has
been ordered by the City to make .the necessary repairs, but has failed to do
SO.,
In low income areas, a provision such as this one may work hardship by
resulting in requirements—for expensive repairs. It would be wise for a
community designating a low income area as an historic district to develop an
assistance program for low income owners. and .tenants.to adequately maintain
their historic structures.
15. Enforcement and Penalties.
A. Methods of Enforcement. In addition to the regulations of this Chapter,
other Chapters of the Code and other provisions of -law. which govern the
approval or disapproval of applications for permits or licenses coveredb-�
this chapter,the Building Officer shall have the authority to implement
the enforcement.thereof by any,of the following means:
1.' Serving notice requiring the removal'of any violation of this Chapter`
upon ;the owner, agent, occupant or tenant of the improvement,
building, structure or land;
2. Calling upon the City Attorney to institute any.necessary legal
proceedings"to enforce the provisions of this Chapter, and the City
Attorney is hereby authorized to institute any actions to that end;
3. Calling upon the chief of Police and authorized agents to assist in
the enforcement of this Chapter.
In addition to any of the. foregoing remedies, the City Attorney may
maintain an action for injunctive relief to restrain or enjoin or to cause
the correction or removal of any violation of this Chapter, or for an
injunction in appropriate cases.
B. Penalties. Any person violating any provision of this Chapter shall be
deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction thereof shall be fined
in an amount not exceeding $500 or be imprisoned for a period not
exceeding six months or be so -fined and imprisoned. Each.day such
violation is committed or permitted to continue shall constitute a
separate offense and shall be punishable as such hereunder.
16. Showing of. Hardship.
The Commission or City Council need not disapprove an application for permit
to carry out any proposed work in an historic district, or on a landmark or a
landmark site, if the applicant presents clear and convincing evidence of
facts demonstrating to the satisfaction of the Commission or City Council that
such disapproval will. work immediate and substantial hardship on the applicant
because of conditions peculiar to the person seeking to carry out -the proposed
work, whether this be property owner, tenant or resident, or because of
conditions peculiar to the particular improvement, building or structure or
other feature involved, and that.failure to disapprove the application will be
consistent with the purposes.of this Chapter. If a hardship -is found to exist
under this section, the Commission or City Council shall make a written
finding to that effect, and shall specify the facts and reasons relied upon in
making such finding.
17. Severability.
If any section, sentence, clause or phrase of this Chapter.is for any reason
held to be invalid or unconstitutional by a decision of any court of competent
jurisdiction; such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining
portions of this Chapter. The City Council hereby declares that it would have
passed this ordinance and adopted this Chapter and each section, sentence,
clause or phrase thereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or more.
sections, subsections, sentences, clauses or phrases be declared invalid or
unconstitutional.

for any Historic Zoning application processed in Sonoma County:." .
Resolution No. 44441 shall be repealed.
ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES
FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE COUNTY HISTORIC ZONING ORDINANCE
The objective of.Historical Zoning in Sonoma County is twofold: first,
the Historical. Zoning Ordinance -and Administrative Procedures are intended
to provide the legal 'basis for the protection and preservation of .
individual structures of historic interest and merit, and second, to
provide the legal basis for the formation of "Historic Districts
Hi�tur-;c Districts are intended to apply to areas of the County containing
a number of structures of historic merit, -which should be preserved and
where new construction should be compatible with existing structures.
HISTORIC DISTRICTS
DESIGNATION:
Upon.the request of the citizens. of an area, the Board of Supervisors may
appoint a Committee of area residents (3-5 suggested) to assist staff in
setting up the District. This Committee will work with staff and the
Landmarks Commission to determine:
1. The boundaries of the proposed Historical District
2. The existing structures in the district to be preserved.
3. The design characteristics warranting preservation.
4Paoe 2
RESOLUTION.. NO. 64183
July 10, 1979
4: The design standards to be applied to new construction in the
District. It is anticipated that these design characteristics
and standards will be spelled out in detail at the time of
designation in order to simplify administration of thEse standards
and to -allow current and future residents of the District to
know what to expect.
The determinations of the Committee and staff will be presented to the
Landmarks Commission. The Landmarks Commission shall adopt, reject, dr
modify the recommendations of the Committee and staff. Final positive
action by the Landmarks Commission shall always include the designation
of:
1. The District Name
2. District Boundaries
3. District Design Characteristics to be preserved, and.
4. District Design Standards "to be applied to new construction.
These recommendations will be presented to the Planning Commission in
public hearing. Positive action of the Planning Commission shall .be a
recommendation to the Board of Supervisors for final adoption. Final
positive action by the Board will also include 1, 2, 3 and 4 above. The
approved District will be indicated on the County Zoning Maps by the
combining designation "H.D.
ADMINISTRATION:
Building Permit applications for any construction, new or on existing
buildings, within a designated Historic District will be reviewed for
conformance to the adopted District Design Characteristics and the District
Design Standards. The County Landmarks, Commission shall review permit
applications within the Historic District.
The Landmarks Commission will authorize issuance of Building Permits
within a Historic District when they determine that the plans are in conformance
with the District Standards. Appeals go first to the Planning Commission and
then' to the Board of Supervisors.
HISTORIC STRUCTURES
DESIGNATION:
Designation of individual structures as "Historic Structures" maybe
initiated by the owner, the Board of Supervisors, the Planning Commission,
or the Landmarks Commission. Planning Staff will make a field -check of the
7
Page 3
RESOLUTION NO, 64183
July 10, 1979
structure and prepare.a.Staff.Report and pictures which will indicate
the nature of _the historic merit of the.structure and the characteristics
of the structure to be preserved. .The designation will be presented
to the Landmarks Commission. The .Landmarks Commission will make a
recommendation to the Planning Commission who will approve or deny the
designation in the same manner as other rezoning actions. The Board
of Supervisors will approve or deny the action in final hearing. The
"Historic District" (H.D.) designation shall be mapped.' as a combining
zone on the parcel containing the structure:
ADMINISTRATION:
Building Permit applications for the modification'or repair of "H.D.'.'
designated buildings will be processed in the same manner as described
above, that is, the County Landmarks Commission will determine that the
planned construction is consistent with the stipulations made at the time.
of designation. Appeal from the decision of the review agency to the
Planning Commission and then to the Board of Supervisors shall be
available. -
Permits for the demolition of designated structures (also Building Permits)
shall be subject to first obtaining the approval of.the County Landmarks
Commission.
The County Landmarks Commission procedure and public hearing is intended
to provide opportunity for the exploration of alternatives to demolition.
Staff will prepare a report on the circumstances requiring demolition and.
possible alternatives. The Landmarks Commission may:
1. Approve the permit to demolish.
2. Modify the permit to demolish.
3. Suspend the permit for a period not to exceed 180 days.
The suspension period will allow interested parties and staff the opportunity
to.pursue alternatives such as public purchase, moving of the structure to
a new site, private purchase for preservation, change of land use
designation to make preservation economically more feasible, etc. Appeal
from the decision of the Landmarks -Commission to the Planning Commission will
be available.
It is intended that the designation procedures for both individual
structures and districts shall be exempt from the requirements of C.E.Q..A.

Inter -Departments!` :Memorandum

\�N�y/�/
TO: Bettye Blair, Planning Director
FROM: Kyle Butterwick, Planner III
SUBJECT: National Historic Preservation Grants -In -Aid Program
DATE: May 10, 1979
After researching the subject concerning the National Historic
Preservation Grants -In -Aid Program which provides federal
monies for the protection, rehabilitation and restoration of
historic properties, there appears to be limited interest and
value for such a program in Butte County.
Following a rather elusive search for knowledgeable sources
in this matter, (including the Environmental Review Department
which ironically had very little information), I discovered
that only a few individuals associated with the County Historic
Society maintain an interest and understanding in this field.
In. particular, Mrs. Garrison Patrick, who resides in a classic
19th century Victoria home on'Midway near Chico, informed me
that the society was interested in'the Grants -In -Aid Program
but expressed concern about the source and availability of
"matching funds", a stipulation of the grant program. Mrs.
Patrick indicated that the Historic Society would explore the
prospects of this program in greater detail and would contact
this office regarding their conclusions.
A note of interest, only properties listed in the National
Register of Historic Places are eligible under this -program.
This requirement greatly inhibits the viability of the program
in the County -insomu-.ch La.� as only seven properties are currently
listed in the National Register acid most of these are either=
currently protected or restored. Included in the register are
the following properties.
1. Bidwell Mansion
2. Centerville School House
3. Inskip Hotel
4. Mud Creek Canyon -(Aboriginal)
5. Patrick Ranchia-(Aboriginal)
6. Patrick House
7. Stansbury House

HISTORY OF SIERRA AND SURROUNDING COUNTIES
I. What unity exists as a. -basis in dealing with the four historically-- colorful
counties
together?
A. Geographic factors
1.
Area: c. 5,895,100 area; c. 9,100 square.miles.
2.
Federal ownership.of.over half the area; more than half of Pluma3
and Sierra, but less.than'half of Lassen and Nevada. Important
factor in considerations..
3.
Water Source. All counties;'b.ut Lassen less than the others,
contributing so significantly to other parts of California, of
one of our more important resources --water. Has played such an
important role in development.
4.
Sierra -Cascade chain binds the counties together, but the easter-i
portions of.all are related to the Great Basin. Lassen so much
more than the others.
B. Economic
development?
1.
Order:. mining, ranching, lumber, recreation.as ways by which
Caucasian occupants have made.their livings.
2.
Exception of.Lassen, in which mining was never as important.
3.
Transportation problems common to all in economic development,
although Nevada.County has been favored over the others in this
respect.
,C. Political
unity?
.1.
Formation: none is an original.California county.
a. Yuba County,as the mother of Nevada, created in 1851; and
Sierra, created in 1852:
b. Butte County as the mother of Plumas; created in 1854, which_
in turn was the major county from which Lassen was created
in 1864. A portion of Shasta County was also involved.
C. No drastic.changes in the boundaries of any of the four
counties since formed, except perhaps'Lassen as the survey
of 1876 corrected that of 1864 and added several square miles
to the county. Minor additions to Nevada and Sierra.
2.
Political party sentiment has tended to be the same.
a. Check of over a half century of voting in the four counties
indicates that they usually vote the same in the same presiden-
tial election.
b. Both Nevada.and Plumas varied from the other three'in only
one ' election .each.
c. All four voted for T..Roosevelt and the Progressive Party in
1912; all four voted for..Robert.LaFollette, Sr., who ran on.
the Socialist Party ticket in California in 1924.
d. The unity. breaks down,somewhat when looking at state electiDns.
Though generally -the -same.
3-.
Sectionalism--a.feeling of separation from the rest of California--
has.been apparent,o.n occasion.
a. Lassen -.-more apparent in its history through the Sagebrush War;,
the dreation of.the Territory..of'Nataqua; Isaac Roop as
provisional governor.of.the Territory of Nevada. .
b.. Plumas.as,associated with the west in trying to collect tax -as
from Honey Lake township. Within its own, history, the interests
of the eastern portion of.,the county have,,varied from that :f
the west, s
•
2.
C. Sierra --perhaps not so strongly felt, but may be the re-
flection of the lack of knowledge of its later history.
Broke off from Yuba since its population had increased and
since its citizens felt that Yuba was interested in it only
at tax collection time. Then the new county was divided
between mining interests and agricultural interests along
geographical lines. But apparently not a serious split
since ranchers profited immediately from the mines; Alturas
area as wanting to get out of the county:_
d. Nevada --questionable whether too influential in its history.
Major transportation route tied the eastern end with the
rest of California.
e. Sectionalism stronger in the north.
II. Early historical evolution
A.
As we look at the early history of the counties, we shall see similar-
ities prevailing, but exceptions, at least one, exist in most cases.
B.
The
Indians
1.
When the explorers and miners first arrived in the northern
Sierras, they found a common Indian cultural group, the Maidu�,
covered the western slopes of the mountains. The group extended
onto the eastern slopes where.it met with the Washo in the south
and Paiute in the north.
2.
Some conflicts with the Indians in each area, especially in the
1850's. The Honey Lakers abandoned a part of their hold in the
late 1850's; conflict in Sierra Valley at about the same time.
3.
Indian troubles at a minimum. Mining so upset the Indian sources
of food in the west that the Indians starved or were killed or moved
to some reservations in the early sixties. In some pockets, the
Indians remained to contribute at a later time to mining and
ranching.
4.
The Indians had used all of the passes across the. Sierra Nevada
mountains prior to the white man's arrival.
C.
The
Opening of the Northern Sierra Nevada.
1.
Who was the first? Peter Ogden? Peter Lassen?
2..
Opening of the California Trail.
a. Stevens -Murphy party.
b. Grigsby-Ide party.,
C. Donner party.
d. Most of the 49ers over the Carson Pass; about one-fifth to
northeastern California over Lassen's trail.
3.
Opening of other routes from the west. A hoax and tall tale teller
a. Nobles road, 1851.
b. Beckwourth Pass, 1851
C. Henness Pass.
4.-
Early pioneers: William Downie (party included ten Negro sailors),
James Beckwourth, A. P. Chapman, Isaac Roop.
D.
Mining.
1.
Placer and hydraulic.'
2.
Hard rock orquartz.
3.
East of the mountains.
4.
Mining life and customs. E. Clampus Vitus. at Sierra City, 1857.
5.
Importance of industrial mining: Grass Valley, Sierra City,.
Johnsville and other places. After 1865 Comstock Lode improved
technology and attracted capital to mining.
6.
The lumber industry and utilization of water in regard to mining.
C
E. Ranching and farming
1.. Sierra.Valley. A. P..Chapman,.George .Kent, William Jones saw
the valley in 1850. Gold Lake craze.
a> Chapman.returned in 1851 with Joseph Kirby, John Gardner,
and I.. K. McClannin in 1851 and laid out claims. Also
located.claims for Wm. C. and B,.F: Lemmon.
b. Permanent.occupation began in..1852,. Erection.of cabins.
At the same time, James Beckwourth to the northern end of
the valley,. Settlement in Smith's neck area beginning in
1853. Sierraville and Loyalton, Summit and'Beckwourth and
other small settlements. By 1881 there were 45 out of 62
children of school age in Loyalton attending school and 78.
out of 97 at Sierraville. Churches already begun.
C. Farming and livestock raising began almost immediately on.
settlement. 1853 for first plantings. Experimented with
buckwheat and other cereal crops.
2. Honey.Lake.
a. Isaac Roop there to settle in 1854. Peter,Lassen discovered
gold in 1855, brought other.settlers..' By'1856 over 36,000
acres claimed and recorded under the territory of Nataqua.
b. Ranching and dairying and limited farming. Basically a
subsistence ag'rieultur.e for..many..decades o::. Local' lumber
supply tapped. Into 1880's
F. The Problem of Transportation.
1. The promotion of roads.
a'. Trails to roads in 1850's.
b. Opening of: the_Henness,Pass road.
C. Yuba Pass --a trail --pack trains.
d. Nobles Road
(1) Humbug route to Oroville. 3,300 people and 81,000 over
it to Oroville by Fall, 1854.
(2) Peak of migration in 1859. 4,000. Down to 1,000 a year
later,
e. Beckwourth route., Extensive use.in.1853-54.'
2,' The naming of Susanville.as the western.terminus of the federal
wagon road in 1857.
a. Contest over route from.Oroville,or Marysville. To the north
of Sierra -Valley. Beckwourth route largely forgotten.
b. - Susanville would be a rival of San Francisco. Railroad on
to the west?
C. Enemy of Susanville: John Kirk become superintendent of the
western subdivision.of the Ft. Kearney -Honey Lake Wagon.Road.
He hoped to locate.the route further south. Development of.
the loop to Carson Valley..'Had 0e M, Wozencraft been appointed,
Susanville might have fared better.
3. Peak of freight.and stage travel in the 1860's. The Humboldt and
the Idaho mines. Several stage lines into Susanville, 3 into
Sierraville, _Boom ended c, 1865.
4.. Transportation problems: Example of Plumas County -
a. Oroville-Quincy.road becamea local road, Not improved
until 1:870. Official county road:until 1872,
b. Most attention given.to roads.in the eastern end of the
county until 1911, East to Reno.

c, Major hope was for a railroad through the Beckwourth pass.
(1) Oroville and Virginia City Railroad incorporation in
1868. Keddie survey,
°(2) Rival, Feather River and Beckwourth Pass Railroad .the
same year. Quincy would support neither..
(3) Nothing happened, Indian valley mine owner Wm. Bolinger
lost small fortune.
(4) Numerous other proposals, 1870-1900. Nothing happened,
When a.railroad convention held in Sierraville in 1881
proposed a.narrow guage road from.Truckee to'Quincy via
Sierra and Mohawk Valleys, Quincy did not support.
(5) Nevada and California Railroad announced plans to build
through Beckwourth Pass from Long Valley in 1886. Tracks
laid by 1887 but no trains. Saved by a wealthy San Fran-
cisco grocer, who purchased it and opened it in 1894,
from Mohawk to Chat.
(6) Quincy expected outside capital and a major line, which
came with the Western Pacific.
5.
Impact of the early railroad lines,
a. When the Nevada'and California headed near Amadee in Lassen
County, great increase in apples and cattle sold outside the
area.
b. Increase in cattle sales directly in Sierra Valley,
6.
Isolation resolved with railroads first and then highways.- Local
interests more united.
III. How the
Four Counties Saw Themselves and How Others Saw Their Economic
Potential,
1910-1911, After.- the Railroad and Beginnings.of Highways.
Examples
drawn from old Sunset Magazine, a publication of the Southern
Pacific
Company.
A. Lassen
County,
1.
Ad, "Great Big Luscious Peaches, the kind of fruit for which
California is famous, grown in profusion in the fertile lands
of Lassen County, California, All kinds of fruit that grow in
temperate climates, apples, peaches, cherries, apricots, and
others are produced in abundance.and of a size.and deliciousness
which.makes them readily salable, in competition with the best
fruit..of any district. All fruits mature early, which is another
big advantage." Mentioned railroad plans. Land prices from '$10
to $.100 per acre. Long term loans. Government land awaits. A
similar ad. featuring apples.
2,
"Lassen County: where the air of contentment and prosperity blows
across rich mountain meadows, placid lakes and wooded slopes, A
county apart--a..homeseekers paradise." ''Ideal for dairying:
The cold, clear mountain water, the native grasses.and climate
have stamped this.-' locality as destined to be.one.of the great
dairying regions.of.the west. Tuberculosis is.unknown. Land
is cheap and you can't fail. You will feel at home from the
day you arrive.
3.
Genevieve Yoell Parkhurst, '.'The Lure of Lassen." "Lassen county
is a land of water.and willows,.apples and fine air.". The desert
'.'is but the land of Goshen--an-entrance to.the promised land of
milk and.honey." Large tracts ownership had held back development,
Now has the railroad. "'Its people have awakened to the.knowledge
that their land is capable of supporting almost any growth known
5.
to, the modern farmer, with the exception perhaps.of citrus and
the more -sensitive. -of the decidious.fruits." Recommended
investment in apple lands between Milford and Janesville. "And.,
the country itself is beautiful. Green shored -lakes, pine-dresse'd,
snow -clad mountains,,and.co6l,shady nooks,where in silent haunts
may be found.an abundance - of -deer -and quail. What a happy
combination of.climate, commercialism and contentment-do6s.,Lass'en
hold forth to the homeseeker'"'
4. Lassen County,trying.to.promote farming as well as ranching. Has
had some success, but limited.to apples.
B. Plumas County.
1. Ad. "A'.good place for the homeseeker, investor and capitalist.
The many fertile valleys of Plumas County offer great inducements
to the rancher, Land can be had at a reasonable.figure. Potatoes,
cabbage, beets, and.all.the hardier vegetables are raised to per-
fection and have aready market, at.the highest prices, in the
mining and milling camps.of the surrounding mountains,:..as also
does hay and grain.. Many mines are lying idle, waiting for the
coming -of capital to put them.in operation -and the proximity of
water -prevents any difficulty in getting power enough to operate
any mine, no matter what its location may. be. Lumbering in Plum ' as
County.furnishes-work.for thousands, and it is no-:-.trouble.to find
employment between the last.tending.of crops and.their.hafVest."'
2. Article by G. Y: Parkhurst.. "Plumas County is:..vibrant-with promise
for the future." Decidious fruit,1imothy hay (sold to dairies
near BeckwoUrth)... "Mining is, of course',.the most important factor
in the.development, past and future, of Plumas County." Timber
lands and railroad mentioned,
C., Sierra.County
1. "For the homeseeker: there are numerous,acres..of.good..land to be
- had at -'reasonable prices and the many.lakes, I rivers,.and springs
will furnish ample water.to-irrigate.every acre .of.tillable soil
in the county, insuring the-rancher.against'droughts. In the
valleys, cherries, apples, and peaches can be grown to,equal any.
in the state, while alfalfa and.the other.forage products are
rapidly increasing in production. Sierra.. County mines have pro-
duced.over $200,000,000 and sys'teTdatical And practical mining have
Just commenced.
"The.Beauty of Sierra's scenery cannot be described; it mus.t be
viewed.to be -appreciated.' The Lakes, rivers,. and deep canyons
.are full of mountain trout, quail, grouse, deer,,,bear,'and all
wild animals.
2. -Boardon Wilson in "Sierra the Goldon" saw three main assets to
Sierra County. In order, -these were: the -.scenery, gold, and
farming. He attempted to describe the beauty of the county-:'
"Bret..Harte in his.inimitdble romances has immotit
talized such names as Poker Flat, Goodyear'.s Bar,. -
and Whisky. Diggin's,.but to the great mass of -us
thesearemerely-imaginary localities coined from
the writer's fertile.brain;.we do not know.that they
still-6kist today, hid, away dmid:. the grandly beau4-
tiful mountains and canons of
Sierra -hat -nol-.tt.anse--6ntirientdl-;:railfoad An&`.thiare-r
fo*reis,now: ah!1unkf1own, forgotten I.And.
ZP
"But the grandeur of her forest -covered mountains
and cons, the enchanting beauty of her lakes
clustering like jewels in a diadem..high up among
snow -clad peaks, her rushing, roaring streams of
melted snow, her delicious climate with its cool
nights and bracing sunny days, her herds of deer
and swarming schools of trout; her bountiful
exhaustlesssoil, her.beds of auriferous gravel and
rocks ribbed with gold, form a wholer,so,.highly
inviting that she now is being discovered again,
"The scenic beauty.of Sierra County is one of her
most valuable assets -6- Imagine yourself upon the top
of the.Sierra Buttes, . . , A bewildering array of
snowy peaks glittering in the rays of the setting
sun, of domes and crags and tree -feathered crests,
of gulches and canons.and ravines, boiling.foam
flecked streams, and the gleaming waters of
forest -girt lakes, everywhere meets your gaze."
He notes that .one -:is able to`.see•'.the desert- of Nevada on the east
and the,:silvery thread of':the Satramerito'.River.._on the west, and
then continues:.
"The brawling of the Yuba three thousand feet below
comes..up to.you a mere whisper, mingled &ith.the
far -away sighing of the pines, but in all else -silence
reigns.supreme. As.the sinking sun nears.the unseen
Pacific far away, a veil of purple is flung out over
the canons and ravines, and the.more distant.peaks
fade from sight,. The purple imperceptibly.deepens.
to blue, first obscuring.then blotting.'out the
streams, and one.by one the lakes close their eyes
and go to sleep. Now it comes stealing out of the
canons purpling again where it spreads itself across
the ridges, and the horizon draws.swiftly.nearer.
Higher and higher it mounts, engulfing cliff and crag
and crest,.till only the tallest peaks remain -gilded
by the sun, standing as islands in a transparent sea
of purple.and.blue. Here and there lines and spots
of black appear, to swiftly deepen and broaden into
rivers and.lakes of darkness, where night, already is
settling.down in .gulch and canon and deeper valley.
Then, at.last,.the purple everywhere turns to .blue,,
and the _light .of day . fades from .even the . tallest .peak,
as the sun sinks from sight in a glory of crimson c
and gold,"
Gold as the second asset, $200 million, Argonauts.to drift and
hydraulic mining and then.to quartz, "Literally.a land of gold
in the past, it still is today, and will continue so for many a
day to come."
IV.
7.
Farming the third asset.
"Farming.in Sierra County is confined almost
entirely to the wonderfully fertile Sierra Valley
which.lies'near the eastern end. Here the silt -
fed soil yields from 40-70 bushels of barley to
the acre, 25-70 bushels of wheat, 40-80 bushels of
oats; alfalfa from five to seven tons of hay (two -
crops); . ." Also potatoes,onions, fruit.
--Wilson, Boardon "Sierra the Golden," Sunset; XXV
(1910), 716-17.
(Note similarity .to other nature writers; promoters of desert,
etc.)
D. Nevada County.
1.- Alfalfa, potatoes, Bartlett pears. "Not so many.crops are
grown as in the valley, but an equal yield per acre.from the
three crops that we do grow and the much higher prices per crop
make it equally as profitable." "Also has great possibilities
for summer resorts. Nevada City and Grass Valley are much sought
in summer. Donner Lake, one of the most beautiful in America,
is here."
2. Other ads. stressed raising poultry ("Mining camps make good
markets") and apples. Grass Valley., an old mining town with
800 employed in the mines.
E. Summary Ads. sponsored by Boards of Supervisors.
1. Stressed common themes in promotional literature. Lassen County
hit them all. Economic opportunity, health, climate, pleasure in
leisure time--hunting,.etc.
2. Lassen the most enthusiastic promoter..
3. All seemed to feel as did G. Y. Parkhurst: "If only the outside
world will come to see and conquer."
4. How do you see yourselves and your area in 1968?
The New Theme: Recreation
A. The theme not stressed in earlier promotional literature was recreation.
The counties saw it by 1910-11 but did not stress it. Live in the -age -
of leisure time for some at least.
B. Pioneer Skiing.in Plumas and Sierra Counties.
1. A base for recreational promotion.
2. First ski competitions held in California, in either of these
counties, by 1860
C. Lassen County's attempt to promote. recreation. Eagle Lake,.etc.,.at
present.
D. Nevada County's attempt to promote retirement in Nevada City, etc.
E. Sierra County? 'At the state fair we learn only of its gold. Other
themes?
V. Publicizing the Northern Sierra (north of Lake Tahoe).
A. The disadvantage the area has had historically.
1. Taller mountains to the south.
2. Attraction of attention by Yosemite,
3. Publicists and writers have devoted their attention to the
southern Sierra. Even Farguhar in his recent History of= -the.
Sierra Nevada almost completely ignores the area. 'Yet -assets
in northern Sierra.
4. A11 of northeastern California is in a similar position.
5. People go to the places.about which they have read and seen.
RM
B. Positive program of research, writing, and publicity. Need more
articles like that which appeared about a week ago in the
Sacramento
Bee on pioneer skiing. More efforts like the Golden Chain
Council,
in which Sierra County has participated, needed.
Historical
Assets.
A.
Sites. Program has been relatively active from the number
of markers.
B.
Buildings. Downieville--well known. Sierraville? Loyalton? Other
areas?
C.
Records. County records and newspapers poorly preserved.
Need a
program for this. Become the basis for research, writing,
publicity.
D.
Human resources. Senior citizens.
E.
Museums. In Susanville. In Downieville. One underway in
Plumas
County. One in Nevada County.
F.
Program of systematic survey of historical assets and then.their
conservation.

(Number all ontrloa) Environmental Setting - Mud Creek Canyon
No. 7b
_ Mud Creek Canyon is a deep, comparatively wide feature cut throuth the
soft underlying Pliocent Tuscan Formation, a volcanic mudflo:•i formation. `!he
canyon is quite rugged in its .upper reaches. The lower part of.the canyon
included in the nomination is, however, comparatively flat and gentle despite
a stream gradient of eighty feet per mile,in the area under discussion..
The biotic community conforms to the Upper Sonoran'Life Zone. Trees
present includethe digger pine, live oak; .scrub oak, valley oak and sycamore.
:loan-zani>a., ;poison• oak ,and wild grape vines growprofusely in the upper end
of the homi.nation_area; further towards the month of the canyon shrubs and
trees largely give way to star thistle, scattered oak and pine and broad
tracts of annual grasses.
Wildlife presently includes the deer., rabbits,'ground squirrels, coyotes,
and other animals of the Upper Sonoran zone; The land is used primarily for
cattle grazing. fishes observed in Mud Creel, include the.squavifish, hardhead,
Sacramento sucker and small unidentified minnows: Salmonids are said to run
seasonally.
With a few exceptions all of the site are located on the south bank of
Mud Creek, probably due to the northward -cutting trend that the creek is
following; most of the. favorable site locations are on the south bink.
There do not appear to be specific loci of site clusterings. rine six
m' dor village sites -are rather, evenly distributed along the drainage, with
the satellite activity areas likewise distributed... h,ithout exception the
village sites are located on the stream bank and not at some distance awayo
An intensive effort was made to apply ethnographic names to the sites
under nomination, particularly 4 -But -6. The i.ncoinplete nature of the ethno-
graphic data did not meet this need. It is felt, however,. that 4 -But-6 with.
its seven obvious housepits and the large dance=house pit must have been an.
important proto-historic if not historic ethnographic.site<
The restricted geographical area of the canyon plus the variety of sites
included defines this area as of particularly unique significance considering
the virtually undisturbed condition of the sites and the dear'ch of archaeo-
logical knowledl;e concerning the protohistoric I•;aidu in ..the Chico area.

STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE
The proposed area to be nominated for the National Register of Histori,
Places represents a virtually untouched and highly diversified archaeo
'logical resource.
The brief excavation of 4 -But -7 in 1970 indicated that the area had
a continuous occupation dating from the Early Biddle Horizon to the Phase
II period of the Late Horizon, approxomately 2,000 years Before Present to
the early Historic period in the Chico area. 4-But-6.may be even more
extensive in this regard.
Scientifically this area is of great .significance to archaeologists,
for the area's manisfestation of continuous occupation from early times
represents a unique opportunity to trace I,iaidu Indian cultural evolution.
The observed bate Horizon predominance and diversity of sites indicates.
that the area was intensively inhabited with sub -areas of unknoi..n spec-
ialized function by tete 'protohistoric Maidu Indians. .
Social implication indicates the ounortunity_for future study in inta..--
cultural contact arid -'intra- cultural developement within prehistoric klaidu
culture. This includes trade with. other nearby linquistic fs^li.lies,. eval—
uating systems of subsistence,_ ecological interaction*alid adaptation, and
the study of functional satellite distributions to the main settlements..-_____.
The restricted, ecologically -varied nature of the .area represents a unique

Environmental Setting Mud Creel: Canyon
No, 7b
Mud Creek.Canyon is a deep, comparatively wide feature cut throuth the
soft underlying Pliocent Tuscan Formation, a volcanic mudflovi formation-. the
canyon is quite rugged in its upper reaches. The lower part of the canyon
included in the nomination is, however, comparatively flat and gentle despite
a stream gradient of eighty feet per mile,in the area under discussion.
The biotic community conforms to the Upper Sonoran life Zone. Trees
present include the digger pine, live oak, scrub oak, valley oak and sycamore.
liar>zas�lrita>, _•po' sol: and :,wild-,&va:pe ,eines grow profusely in the .upper end
of the nomination area; further towards the mouth of the canyon shrubs and
trees largely give way to star thistle, scattered oak and pine and broad
tracts of annual grasses.
Wildlife presently includes the deer, rabbits, ground squirrels, coyotes,
and other animals of the Upper Sonoran zone.' The land is used primarily for
cattle grazing. Fishes.observed in Mud Creek include the squawfish, hardhead,
Sacramento bucker and small unidentified minnbvis. Salmonids are. said to run
seasonally.
1•17ith a few ex.ception.s all of the site are located on the south bank of....
Mud Creek, probably due to the north,,,ard-cutting trend that the creek is
following; r•:ost of the favorable site locations are on the south bank.
There do not appear to be specific loci of 'site clusterings. The six
major village sites are Yiither evenly distributed along the drainage, with
the satellite activity areas likeh'ise distriblted.. Without exception the
village sites are located on the stream bank and not at .some distance away,
An intensive effort was made to apply ethnographic navies to the sites
udder nomination, particularly 4 -But -6.. The i.ncor,plete nak ure of th_e ethno-
graphic data did notmeet this need. It- is felts however, that 4 -But -6 with
its seven obvious housepits and the large dance -house pit must Have been an
important proto-historic if not historic ethnograbihic site.
The restricted geographical area of the canyo7n plus the variety of sites.
inc]_uded defines this area as of particularly unigme;significance, considering
the virtually undisturbed conditionof the sites and, the dearth. of archaeo
logical knowledge concerning the protohistoric 1111aida, in, ..the Chico area.

STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE -
The proposed area to be nominated for the National Register of Historic
Places.represents a virtually untouched and highly diversified archaeo-
logical resource.
The brief excavation of 4 -But --7 in 1970 indicated that the area had
a continuous occupation dating from the Early Biddle Horizon to the Phase.
TI period of the .Late Horizon, approxomately 2,000 years Before .Present to
the early Historic period in the—Chico.—area. 4 -But -6 may be even more
extensive in this regard.
Scientifically this area is of great significance to archaeologists,
for the area's manisfesta.tion of continuous occupation from early titres
represents a unique opportunity to trace Iiaidu Tndia.n cultural evolution.
The observed L' ate Horizon predominance and diversity of sites indicates
that the area vias intensively inhabited with sub -areas of unknovan spec- .
i.ali•zed.fun•ct on -by -the protohistoric-Maidu Indians
Social implication indicates the opportunity for future study in inter.
cultural contact 0.nd intra -cultural developel-aent within prehistoric T;aidu
culture. rlhis includes trade with other nearby linquistic f2� lies, eval-
uating systems of subsistence, ecological interaction'and adaptation, and
the study of functional satellite distributions to the main settJ.e:,rcnts...._____ _
The restricted, ecologically -varied nature of the area, represents a unique
opportunity to study ecological implications of s.ettlaament patterns.
Urban planning. will be ectreinely important to.the- proposed ncnLi.naticki
area, as it will to the entire county. At present preliminary plans are
filed for the splitting of the area into one to five -acre lots. and mill
probably require re -zoning from the present -A-2 to R-1. The placement of
this. area on the National Register may enable us to preserve these archae
logical resources for future study by careful planning .to avoid key'sites
in cooperation with the,contractor.in buildirig and. construction.
Public health enters into the proposed urban! developement.. Inthe
summer of 1970 sixty per cent'.of the Queens College (New York) Joint
Archaeological Field School personnel .contracted Valley Fever (Coccidi o -
mycosis irrmitis) while excavating at 4 -But -7. Siab5equent State tIealth

THE PROGRAM
The National Register of Historic Places records the
story of a nation. It is a roll call of the tangible reminders
of the history of the United States. It is a list of distinction
identifying for the people those properties worthy of
preservation for their historic value.
Congress called for such a list in the Historic Sites Act
of 1935 and the Historic Preservation Act of 1966. The
1966 act said:
-The Secretary of the ..Interior..is-authorized .to expand
and maintain a national register of districts, sites,
buildings, structures and objects significant in American
history, architecture, archeology and culture, hereinafter
referred to as the National Register. . . .
The National Register is the official schedule of the
nation's cultural property that is worth saving. According
to further provisions of the act, it is a protective inven-
tory of irreplacable resources across the face of the land. .
In building the future it is the guide to a richer environ-
ment with visible continuity with the past.
The National Register is published biennially with per-
tinent information about each property. The first edition,
prepared by the National Park Service in 1969, contained
1 over 1,000 entries. The list continues to grow. Between the
lines of this book, the .discerning..reader-.may sense .the
heartbeat of the United States.
The Historic Sites Act of 1935 placed the National
Park Service squarely in the field of historic preservation. .
This act gave extensive responsibilities to the Secretary
of the Interior through the National Park Service . to
'I effectuate a national policy of historic preservation. The
Historic Preservation Act of 1966 'expanded the Depart-
ment's responsibilities, authorizing a program for the
preservation of additional historic properties through the
a Nation. An expanded National Register was authorized as .
a major instrument in this program.
All historical areas in the National Park System, together
with those properties eligible for designation as National
Historic Landmarks, are of national significance and thus
qualify automatically for the National Register. Properties
of State or local significance may be nominated by the
States and will be placed in the Register on approval of
the National Park Service.
Nominations are made by a State Liaison Officer ap-
pointed by the Governor to supervise the program within
the State. A professional staff conducts a statewide historic
survey and reports its findings to a professional review
committee. If the property meets National Register criteria,
the committee recommends it for nomination.
Additions to the National Register are printed monthly
in the Federal Register. An annual revision containing
monthly supplements is available from the Superintendent
of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washing-
ton, DC 20402. (Write to that office for pricelists of these
publications.)
CRITERIA FOR EVALUATION
The following criteria are designed to guide the States and
the Secretary of the Interior in evaluating potential entries
(other than areas of the National Park System and
National Historic Landmarks) to the National Register:
The quality of significance in American history, archi-
tecture, archeology, and culture is present in districts, sites,
buildings, structures, and objects that possess integrity of
location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling,
and association, and:
(A) that are associated with events that have made a
significant contribution to the broad patterns of our
history; or
(B) that are associated with the fives of persons
significant in our past; or
(C) that embody the distinctive characteristics of a
type, period, or method of construction, or that repre-
sent the work of a master, or that possess high artistic
values, -or that represent a significant and distinguishable
entity whose components may lack individual distinc-
tion; or
(D) that have yielded,. or may be likely to yield, infor-
mation important in prehistory or history.
Ordinarily cemeteries, birthplaces, or graves of historical
figures, properties owned by religious institutions or used
for religious purposes, structures that have been moved
from their original locations, reconstructed historic build-
ings,. properties primarily commemorative in nature, and
properties that have achieved significance within the past
50 years shall not be considered eligible for the National
Register. However, such properties will qualify if they
are integral parts of districts that do meet the criteria
or if -they fall within the following categories:
(A) a religious property deriving primary significance
from architectual or artistic distinction or historical im-
portance; or
(B) -a building or structure removed from. its original
location but which is significant primarily for archi-
tectural value, or which is the surviving structure most
.importantly associated with ahistoric person or event; or
(C) a birthplace or grave of a historical figure of out-
standing importance if there is no . appropriate site or
buildung directly associated with his productive life; or
(D) :a cemetery which derives its primary significance
from graves of persons of transcendent importance,
from age, from distinctive design features, or from as-
sociation with historic events; or
(E) a reconstructed building when accurately executed
in a suiaable environment and presented in a dignified
manner as part of a restoration master plan, and when
no other building or structure with the same association
has survived; or
(F) a property primarily commemorative in intent if
design, age, tradition, or symbolic value has invested
it with its own historical significance; or
(G.) a property achieving significance within the past
50 years if it is of exceptional importance.
THE ADVISORY COUNCIL ON
HISTORIC PRESERVATION
In the Historic Preservation Act of 1966, Congress estab-
lished an Advisory Council on Historic Preservation to
advise Congress and the President in this field. The Council
consists of the Secretaries of Interior, Housing and Urban
Development, Commerce, Treasury, Transportation, and
Agriculture; the Attorney General; the Administrator of
the General Services Administration; the Chairman of the
National Trust for Historic Preservation; the Secretary of
the Smithsonian Institution; and 10 citizens appointed by
the President.
The Council meets four times a year. In addition to its
advisory duties to the President and the Congress, it
-Coordinates �the �historic•preservation.activities -of Federal
departments and agencies. To safeguard National Register
properties in some measure from Federal highways, dams,
and other projects, Congress gave the Advisory Council an
unusual power of review. In Section 106, the act, provides:
The head of any Federal agency having direct or in-
direct jurisdiction over a proposed Federal or federally
assisted undertaking in any State and the head of any
Federal department or independent agency having
authority to license any undertaking shall, prior to the
approval of the expenditure of any Federal funds on
the undertaking or prior to the issuance of any license,
as the case may be, take into account the effect of the
undertaking on any district, site, building, structure, or
object that is included in the National Register. The .
head of any -such • Federal • agency shall afford -the Ad-
visory Council on Historic Preservation . . . . a rea-
sonable opportunity to comment with regard to such
undertaking.
Although this section provides no injunctive power to .
halt Federal undertakings that threaten historic properties,
it does assure that historical values will be considered in
Federal project planning. When conflicts with historical
values cannot be avoided, the Advisory Council provides
a high-level forum for assessing the public interest and
recommending courses of action.
In evaluating "effect within the meaning of Section
106, the Advisory Council is guided by the following
criteria:
A federally financed or licensed, undertaking shall be
considered to.have an effect on a National Register listing
(districts, sites, buildings, structures, and objects, including
their settings) when any condition of the undertaking
creates a change in the quality of the historical, architec-
tural, archeological, or cultural character that qualified the
property under the National Register criteria for listing
in the National Register. Generally, adverse effect occurs .
in conditions which include, but are not limited to:
1. Destruction or alteration of all or part of a property.
2. Isolation from, or alteration of, its surrounding en-
vironment.
3. Introduction of visual, audible, or atmospheric ele-
ments that are out of character with the property and
its setting.
GRANTS FOR HISTORIC PRESERVATION
The National Historic Preservation Act authorizes Federal
grants-in-aid to the States and to the National Trust for
Historic Preservation on a matching basis. The grants
may be used for statewide surveys, the preparation of
statewide historic preservation plans, and the acquisition
and restoration of individual properties. Grants for in-
dividual preservation projects may be made through the
States to other eligible public or private recipients.
To qualify for aid, properties must be listed in the
National Register, be consistent with a statewide historic
preservation plan approved by the Secretary of the In-
terior, and need financial assistance or be owned by the
National Trust for Historic Preservation.
The State Liaison Officer directs his State's grant-in-aid
program, its historical surveys, and its preservation plan-
ning. Questions about any feature of a State's historic
preservation program should be addressed to this official.
A list of Liaison Officers is provided elsewhere in this
folder:
RELATED PROGRAMS
HISTORIC AMERICAN BUILDINGS SURVEY. This program for
recording important examples. of American architecture
is conducted in cooperation with the American Institute
of'Architects and the Library of Congress. The records—
photographs, measured drawings, written data—are de-
posited in the Library of Congress, where they are availa-
ble for inspection and.study.
Recording by HABS is evidence that a building is worthy
of preservation. Most recorded buildings will be entered
in the National Register either as National Historic Land-
marks or by nomination of the States.
HISTORIC AMERICAN ENGINEERING RECORD. HAER .was
organized in 1969 to complement the Historic American
Buildings Survey. The object of the program is to record
important examples of American engineering, and it is con-
ducted by the National Park Service in cooperation with
the American Society of Civil Engineers (technical ad-
visors) and the Library .of Congress (depository for rec-
ords).
While the recognition and preservation of our archi-
tectural patrimony has been established over the years,
America's engineering and industrial genius has not been
treated in kind. Here lies the challenge of HAER. By work-.
ing with related programs such as the National Register,
an archive of measured drawings, photographs, and docu-
ments will be accumulated to increase public awareness of
this aspect of our heritage.
NATIONAL PARK SERVICE ARCHEOLOGICAL PROGRAM. Arche-
ological research and' protection are other major respon-
sibilities of the National Park Service. Prehistoric ruins
were among the earliest areas set aside for Department of
the Interior protection. The Antiquities Act of 1906 pro-
vided the Department with initial protective and research
powers in respect to archeological resources. The Act of
e
1916 creating the National Park Service charged that
d agency with protection of historic resources in the National
Park System. The Historic Sites Act of 1935, the Reser-
voir Salvage Act of 1960, and the Historic Preservation Act
of 1966 greatly broadened these responsibilities.
The Service now conducts a program of salvage arche-
ology where highway construction, dams, pipelines, and
other projects threaten sites rich in prehistoric or historic
data. A large proportion of the archeological fieldwork in
this country is conducted under the Inter -Agency Arche-
ological Salvage Program, sponsored by the Service.
THE NATIONAL HISTORIC LANDMARKS PROGRAM. The Historic
Sites Act of 1-935 authorizes -the Secretary of the Interior
to make a survey of historic sites and buildings to identify
those of national significance. Potential landmarks are
evaluated by the Advisory Board on National Parks, His-
toric Sites, Buildings, and Monuments, and are recom-
mended to the Secretary of the Interior.
Sites and structures found nationally significant by the
Secretary are eligible for designation as National Historic
Landmarks and are immediately recorded in the National
Register. Upon the owner's agreement to adhere to ac-
cepted preservation precepts, Landmark designation is
recognized by the award of a bronze plaque and a certifi-
cate. The program began in 1960.
Properties eligible for Landmark designation are listed
in a booklet entitled National Parks and Landmarks.
Studies leading to the selection of National Historic
Landmarks are- published in a series of,books. The booklet
and the books are available from the Superintendent of
Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington,
DC 20402._ (Write to that office for pricelists.)
THE NATURAL LANDMARKS PROGRAM. The first areas in the
Register of Natural Areas were designated in 1964. This
program is similar to that of the National Historic Land-
marks. Natural areas considered of national significance
are cited by the Secretary of the Interior as eligible for
recognition as Registered Natural Landmarks, regardless
of ownership. At the Secretary's invitation, the owner .may
apply for a certificate and a bronze plaque designating
the site.
NATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION LANDMARKS PRO-
GRAM. The third part of the National Landmarks Program
was started in 1968. These Landmarks are designated for
use of schools and the general public.for teaching the prin--'
ciples of environmental awareness.
OTHER PROGRAMS. The National Historic Preservation Act
of 1966 and companion legislation place important respon-
sibilities for historic preservation on all Federal Depart-
ments and Agencies. For most of them the responsibility. is
primarily a statutory obligation to exercise care in all
undertakings affecting cultural properties worthy of pres-
ervation.
The Department of Housing and Urban Development,
however, as well as the Department of the Interior, has
been given important new authority to undertake programs
of active aid and encouragement to historic preservation.

On the basis of 1966 and 1968 legislation, the Depart-
ment of Transportation has adopted policies and programs
giving maximum consideration to the effect of projected
transportation facilities on the quality of the environment.
Cultural properties are among the environmental elements
given special attention. For further information write to
the Secretary of Transportation, Washington, DC 20590.
RELATED PRESERVATION FOLDERS
The National Park Service publishes the following infor-
mation folders similar to this one on its preservation pro-
grams: National Park Service Archeological Program, The
Historic Atnerican Buildings Survey, The National Historic
Landmarks Program, and The Natural Landmarks Pro-
gram. These publications, along with this folder, are avail-
able in -packet form (National Park Service Preservation
Programs, 50 cents) from the Superintendent of Docu-
ments, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC

HISTORIC PRESERVATION - A PLANNING OPPORTUNITY
Summary
In 1976 our nation will be 200 years.old, During these years
our historic resources have suffered from many influences
including the lack of historic preservation priorities pro-
vided in the general planning process., AIP this year adopted
a national.goal..to include the Historic Preservation Element.
in the general plan. There is now an opportunity to establish
historic preservation goals into the comprehensive planning
process.
In response to the growing historic preservation movement,
this paper is written for concerned planners who desire to
learn more of the available planning resources, programs,
and legal methods which will assist in protecting our historic
resources inventory. The paper is divided into the following
sections°.
An Al -P Historic Preservation Policy
..-The.Historic.Preservation Element in -California..-.,
-.A Definition for Historic Preservation
An Inventory of Historic Preservation Sites.
A Summary of Public and Private Programs to
Assist the Historic Preservation Movement
- Planning Tools and Educational Opportunities
Historic Preservation Leadership
The Historic Preservation Element and AIP.
Opportunities for Action
The paper concludes with progressive goals and methods that
will establish AIP leadership in the preservation field.

HISTORIC PRES.ERVA'.i'ION - A PLANNING OPPORTUNITY
As America races toward its Bicentennial in 1976, more and..
more citizens are wondering where has all our historic legacy
gone.and what is being done to preserve more of it?
For those cities who h ave.managed to retain historic sites,
they are finding a bonanza. in tourist trade, local_ interest
and real.estate activitye..Cities such as San. Francisco,
Sacramento, Charleston, Savannah, New Orleans and a vast
number of others have developed unique historic districts
and revi.ow procedures while other cities are awakening and
responding to preservation interests. The preservation
movement is by no means just limited to larger urban areas,
for as planners we all know of small towns throughout America
which now proudly boast and display samples of their historic
development.
Architects, urban designers, artists and planners have long
realized the subtle, unique transitions of the old blending
into the new and contemporary development proposals always
graphically display some design attempt to i.tegrate historic
cliches into new projects. Kevin Lynch in his recent book
what Time is This Place astutely discusses the.merit-, and
curltent of the quality of tl1cie in t- ie l:l)aii 10_11Uaucxyr=� nc �
states "Environment is.the clock we read to -tell real time,
to tell personal. time"..
Historic'structures and even some not so historic structures
all add a dimension of time, scale, texture, continuity,
sequence and identity to the urban forme One feels from the
structural environment a feeling of place and meaning. This
quality of age and presence is quickly realized by any trave- ._
ler wandering through European cities. The difference in.
scale, textures, building forms and materials add an environ-
mental quality.to foreign cities that people find desirable
and unique.
As American tourists return home with their Bankamericards
charged to the limit, they wonder why can't we preserve more
of our unique older landmarks and historic areas? Those who
are responsible for planning and maintaining our urban envir-
onments truly have been ignoring this.responsibility. The
reasons may be many but it is now time to rank historic
.preservation interests and goals much higher in our planning
priorities.
AN AIP HISTORIC PRESERVATION POLICY.
In a progressive step to,further enunciate historic preservation
concerns, the AIP Board of Governors recently adopted the
- 1—
following National AIP policy:
HISTORIC PRESERVA'T'ION ELEMENT. To preserve our
historical and cultural past, state planning enab-
ling legislation should require. that each•state
and. local. general 'plans have an historical preserva-
-tion element. This element should set inventories
and priorities of historical,_ and cultural signifi-
cance to be preserved through, planning for the future.
This should' reflect the concept; of equal opportunit--
and preserve the unique pasts of allgroups°
With this national policy, state and local planning agencies
should now begin the integration of historic preservation
needs into their planning processes and, general plan documents.
As we have planned for land use, circulation and housing, we
now should .by all. means possible -emphasise the inclusion of
historic. preservation. concerns into the `comprehensive planning
process.
THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION ELEMENT IN CALIFORNIA G,.�.WAtqo
In -Calif
ornia, legislation has been introduced tS�amend
14�
Government Code relating to General. Plans to include an His- h*T cDS
toric Preservation Element. As the introduction of new man-
datory elements to the General. Plan are complicated by recent;
California Legislation, the Historic Preservation Element is
a permissive planning element. In view of.the total absence
or an menrion or nisr..ori_c nreserva.r..ion concerns a.n the exi_sr.-
ing planning legislation, the.permissive'Historic Preservation
Element is considered a, giant step forward for preservationist
activities. It probably should be noted that California plan
ning legislation classifies certainplanning elements .as man-
datory and permissive. Those mandatory in scope are: land
use, circulation, housing, conservation (natural- resources'),
open space, seismic safety, noise and scenic highway.
In the permissive elements, local jurisdictions may include
the following elements in their general plans: Recreation,
transit, public services, public building, community design,
redevelopment, and others. California's Historic Preservation•.
Element, introduced as Senate Bill 2309 in the 1974 legislative
session, contains the following:
The Historical Preservation Element
A Historical Preservation Element for the identi-
fication, establishment, and protection of sites
-and structures of architectural., historical,
archaeological or cultural significance, includ-
ing significant trees, hedgerows and other plant
materials.
The Historical Preservation Element shall include
a program which develops actions to be taken in
- 2 -
accomplishing the policies set.forth in this
element
Guidelines shall be developed by the Office of .
Planning and Research in'consultation with appro-
priate public and private organizations concerned
with historical preservation.
t
If passed, the Historic Preservation Element will be- added
to the permissive element list.. Considering that 408 cities.-
and 58 counties'will now clearly notice the inclusion of.
historic preservation concerns in -the planning legislation,
it is optimistically hoped that many local California juris-
dictions will now respond to the fulfillment of preservation
needs.
A DEFINITION FOR HISTORIC PRESERVATION.
Today with the absence of funding'for Federal, housing conser-
vation programs such as the Federal Assistance Code Enforce-
ment Program. (FACE), there is clamour and confusion regarding.
conservation, rehabilitation .and historic preservation pro-
" grams.. There is a mounting overlap between -those who want
to conaerve and rehabilitate older segments of the city and
those who are considering only the histord.c. preservation of
sites and structure-, of architectural, historical,'archaeo-
..logical and cultural significance. Much of this conserva-

the destruction of urban structures and places that citizens
have accepted as a desirable -environment. As usual, outraged -
-ditizens . are responding to.. development . over_kill.. and the. pre-
_.._....... ---- -. :.:..
servationists and the conservationists now find mutual goals
in.sharing their environmental concerns. Both groups are.
demanding funding and governmental commitment to assist them
in their preservation and rehabilitation efforts. Planners
have been slow on clarifying and defining this overlap'and
sites and areas which .are touted as being.of historic signi-
ficance are certainly not, and the credibility of the historic
preservation movement suffers. A visual presentation of slides
later will more adequately cover this overlap.
Equally confusing at this time is the fact that pure historic
preservationists are expanding their philosophies to include
larger areas for preservation. The areas surrounding a sig-
nificant s°ite are now being considered as desirable for pre-
servation treatment as is the historic site itself, Clearly
here is a planning opportunity where rehabilitation and con-
servationists can join the historic preservation movement..in
creating and maintaining unique older living environments.
For a more precise definition of historic preservation sites,
the evaluation criteria for the National Register of Historic
Places proves most adequate.

The quality of significance in American history,
Anr3 r�iil i �7rr� i s r,racani-
in districts, sites, building, structures, and
objects that possess integrity of location, design,
setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and
association, ande
A. that are associated with events that have made
a significant contribution to the broad patterns
®f our history; or
Bo that are associated with the lives of persons
significant in our past; or
C. .that embody the distinctive characteristics
of a type, period, or method of construction,
or that represent the work of a master,. or
that possess high artistic values, or that
:.represent a significant and distinguishable
entity whose components may lack individual
distinction; or
D. that have yielded, or may- be, likely to yield,
information important in prehistory or history..
The National, Register fu' rther, develops its evaluation criteria
by stating:
ord nasi y cemer."er. ies; i.rtn'n i -aces, or ara.ves or
historical figures, properties owned by religious
institutions or used for religious purposes, struc-
tures that have been moved frout their original
- locations, reconstructed'historic buildings, prop-
erties primarily commemorative in nature, and
properties that have achieved significance within.
the past 5U. years shall.not be considered eligible
for the National Register. However, such.properties
will qualify if they are.integral parts of districts
that do meet the criteria or if they fall within
the. following categories:
Ao a religious property deriving primary signi-
�. ficance from architectural or artistic dis-
tinction or historical importance; or
B. a buil.ding_or structure removed from its
original location but which is significant
primarily..for architectural value, or which
is the surviving structure most importantly
associated with a historic person or event; or
C.. a birthplace or grave of a historical figure
of outstanding importance if there is no appro-
priate site or building directly associated
.with his productive.life; or.
U. d�elnetery which derives its primary significance
from graves of persons of transcendent importance,

from association with historic events; or
E.
a reconstructed building when accurately exe-
cuted-in
xe-cuted in a suitable environment and presented
in a dignified manner as part of a restoration
master plan, and .when no other.building or
structure with the same association has sur-
vived; or
.. a property primarily •cornmemorative in intent
if design, age, tradition, or symbolic value
has invested it with its own historical signi-- =
: fi_cance; or .
G. a property achieving significance within the'
past 50 years if it is of exceptional importance..
As structures and sites accepted for the National Register must be
judged by -local, state, and federal officials, the above criteria
is sometimes too restrictive for local landmark needs. The National -
Trust for Historic Preservation suggests the following historical.
and cultural signif..icanee criteria:
A structure.or area should have outstanding historical and
cultural. significance in the nation or in the state, region,'
or comm—in i ter is }jest- exemplified: and from which the., visitor

Structures or areas that are identified with- the lives -of
;.historic personages or with important events in the main
currents of national, state or local history. :
Structures or areas that embody the distinguishing charac-
teristics of an architectural. type -specimen, inherently
valuable for a study of a pdriod-style or method of construc-
tion; or a notable work of a master builder, designer or
architect whose individual genius influenced his age.. Mere
Antiquity is not sufficient basis for selection of a structure
for permanent preservation, but can be a factor if other more
..significant examples have disappeared or if the building forms
part of an especially characteristic section of a given con.-
munity. Smaller structures, such as the first.squared-log
cabins or the sod houses of the pioneers, may be as impor-
tant relatively as the mansions of the past.
Structures or -sites of archaeological interest that.contri-
bute to the understanding of aboriginal man in America..
Preference should be given to. those structures or sites
where there is a preponderance of original material or
other physical remains which have retained their integrity_
-1-1-r
(Integrity is a composite quality derived from orig-
inal workmanship., original location, and intangible
elements of feeling and association.) Repair or res®
toration of original. elements or reconstruction of a
building long destroyed demand high professional
standards of historical and'scientific techniques..-
Generally speaking.,.. it is. better t_o preserve than
repair, better to re air than restore, better to
restore than reconstruct. 6 ��

evolving. In a more contemporary concept, historic preservation
is more than just preserving sites and structures associated
with the lives of national patriots, statesmen and tycoons of
past eras. Too often historic preservation is thought of'as
a.coast to coast collection.of Mount Vernons.
In a contemporary idiom, preservation encompasses an'.amount of
what has happened in the lives and development of a people,
country or society. Al_1_ significant events of the past should
be included within the parameters of historic preservation
efforts. This includes remnants of a nation's industrial com-
plexes, institutional. and governmental structures, domestic
development, ideological and ethnic characteristics and the
diverse col lect:ion of sites and structures 'which best exemplify
a changing society. The geographic boundaries of preservation
efforts may be limited to a particular structure or site or may
emcompasa larger districts. The inclusion of the preservation
of historic view corridor lands which embellish a historic site
are also cri•ticalo. Mount Vernon is a case in point where pre-
servation of the view corridor is .desirable and zoning across
the Potomac has carefully been adopted to embellish this historic
landscape,
For planners, the effe.�ts that are passible through the general
plan and the development process must reflect on opportunities
which enhance historic sites with curtent zon.,i_n6 practices

brought to mind as potential solutions. Architectural review
of adjacent development proposals for compatibility with.historic.
sites is another worthy. solution.
Whatever the size or content, a historic site diminishes in .
importance when considered in relationship to what effect these
historic resources provide local residents. The sense- of pride
in their locale, the sense of a continuing presence, and increased
confidence i.n'the present and future of their area are but a few
of the, societal impacts on an area's people
As propose-d'in AIP's national.historic_ preservation goal and the'
California legislation, preservation efforts should include sites
of architectural, historic archaeological or cultural s.ignifi-
cance including significant trees, hedgerows and other plant
materials. Further discussion and clarification of these items
is necessary.-.
..Structures of Architectural Significance
Examples of the works of leading architects or master craftsmen,
structures that are exceptionally fine architectural examples of .
their period, or rare survivors of certain types of buildings -

ing efforts by architects or designers.,of vernacular architecture

izing their talents and resources to create an area architecture.

Sites and Structures of Historical Si ni_fi.cance
..Associated with the lives of historic persons or with important
events in national, state or local history these.places provide
a third dimensional form to understanding more of an area's disc
tinct heritage. Military outposts and.battlefields, pioneer
trails, presidential homer, birthplaces of national heron,: sites
..and places _.of scientific di.sc:overies would be collected in this
historical classification.
Sites and Structures of Archaeological Significance
Archaeological remains are important and irreplacable resources
for future historical research and for an objective approach to
the cultural interpretation of -any historic conununity or region,.
Absolutely non®renewable, these resources must be treated wisely
and *carefully. In many instances, archaeological remains are the
only untapped and unspoiled historical and cultural resources
left which may be representative of a people and their system of:
Remnants of prehistoric societies, early Indian settlements,
cave dwellings and other artifacts, objects which in their
unique location provide clues to. the life styles of earlier
-Societies,.. -form the basis.. for..archaeo].ogical sites.' it
be noted that while some of this archaeological inventory will
be -in -the form of existing structures or partial structures,
major collect ions. remain buried under the collective soils and
debris of time. When discovered, these sites must be protected.
from destruction by heavy earth moving equipment and set aside
for future precise archaeological investigation... New construction
over these sites will only further mutilate their form and content
and prevent us from a fur'cher understanding of an earlier society.
Sites and Structures of Cultural Significance
Unique and exceptional places that provide resource information
into social and cultural trends such as religious sects, reform
movements, education, art, music, literature and their concepts,,
habits, skills, and institutions of a people at a given time
express the criteria for areas of cultural significance. While
these places of cultural significance are often remembered by
their unique structures which remain long after the cultural
patterns and the movement has dissipated, it must.be remembered
that it was -a unique collection of a society that created these
historic and cultural structures,

Sites of Significant Historical Plant Materials and Landscape
Features y
Early man in his pursuit to establish. new communities, planted,
re-contoured, and landscaped his.settlements. These landscapes
represent a living continuity to the aestheticdesi..r_es of.an
earlier society. As the ecological -environmental movement: tempo
increases, we realize more and more what habitational and micro -
climate phenomena are created by plant materials.
Trees used in an architectural sense form overhead canopies,
emphasize and articulate spa.cest screen out unsightly areas and
add a pedestrian scale to.new.development.' In an engineering
use they reduce glare and.provide traffic and noise sound control.
Climatically they act as air conditioners in the cleansing and
filtration of our air by removing carbon dioxide and other pol-
lutants.while at the same time they release critical oxygen for.
man's use. In an aesthetic sense they have a living sculptural
quality that marl has been describing artistically since the
beginning o.f time.. Stately rows of 100 year.old boulevard trees,
hedgerows defining the countryside, and grand isolated specimens
all merit preservation. ,
Landscape architects state: "Plants are among the most complex

living, growing things, changing with each season. Traditionally
their primary use .has focused on their aesthetic qualities and
beauty. Therefore, the designer does not consider their use
in the same way as he does wood, steel, and masonry;
The attitudes which govern the designer's use of plants are
inexorably intertwined with human history and culture. -.'As cul-
ture has changed,,some of the attitudes toward the use of plants
have changed. Plants as sculptural elements and screens of
unsightly views illustrate new uses. Yet, predominant attitudes
governing their uses are still subjective.
In a changing environment which is rapidly becoming urbanized
and denaturized, cultural values are becoming increasingly ob••-
jective, qualifiable, and quantifiable.. Economic values are
placed upon things and their uses. Plants,'where used sub-
jectively by the designer are not capable of being quantified,
nor are their uses capable of being evaluated and compared to
other objective values in the contemporary culture. Consequently
where decisions are to be made whether or not to preserve existing
trees, or parks, or plant -new trees, there is little or no basis
for the objective comparison of the values involved and plants
.are sacrificed for other man-made facilities. Thus the dilemma
of the designer is that he needs a system to set in order and
sort out the functional uses of plants from -other complexities so
that they may be evaluated and used intelligently. 8/
9 -
These functional,• symbolic sthetie,.and s boliuses of plant materials
are now beinq.realized as critical to man's existence and their
inclusion in the Historic -Preservation Element is obvious.
A SUMANIARY OF PUBLIC AND PRIVATE PROGRAMS TO ASSIST THE HISTORIC
PRESERVATION MOVEMENT
Existing tools which can be utilized in organizing and implemen-
ting the Historic Preservation Element are diverse and scattered
throughout .the public and private sectors. In the past,.historic
preservation has laid.in the domain's of the private sector with
noted rich.industrialists like Henry -Ford putting together his
Greenfield Village collection of Americana in Michigan,. the
Du Ponts developing Winterthur `in Delaware, and the Rockefellers
absorbing great costs in the reconstruction of Williamsburg..
For many reasons, -.these civic oriented, private efforts have .
decreased and historic preservation concerns are now more the
responsibility of increasing public participation. Significant
up blic programs are outlined below:
The National Preservation Act of 1966
At present this is the most important piece of legislation that
exists to protect our historic resources. Congress found and
declared:
A. That the spirit and direction of the nation are founded
1-00iL all(d J_- ef AeC'I:CLl lil its hili-Lul'lu QCL, 1 .
B. That the historical and cultural foundations of the
;.nation should be preserved as a living part of. our
munity life and development in order to give a sense of
orientation to the American people.
C. That, in the face of ever-increasing extensions of urban
centers, highways, and residential, commercial., and
industrial. developments, the present governmental and
nongovernmental historic preservation programs and act-
ivities are inadequate to insure future generations a
genuine opportunity to appreciate and enjoy the rich
`heritage of our nation.
:D. That, although the major burdens.of historic preserva-
tion have been borne and major efforts initiated by
private agencies and individuals,,and both should con-
tinue to play a vital role,'it is nevertheless necessary
and appropriate for the Federal. Government to accelerate
its historic preservation programs and activities, to
give maximum encouragement to agencies and individuals
undertaking preservation by private means, and to assist
state and"local governments and the National Trust for
Historic Preservation in -the United States to expand and
accelerate their historic preservation programs and
activities.
- 10.-
It further declared that the term ;historic preservation_
includes the protection, rehabilitation, restoration, and
reconstruction of buildings, structures.-
and
tructures;and objects significant in American history, architectt.re,
archaeology, or culture. 10
The act extends federal protection to historic features through
the National Register of Historic Places and created a 17 member
advisory council -on historic preservation. It also established
a system of matching federal grants to states and the National
Trust for historic Preservation. Federal funding to states are
for the protection, acquisition, and development of historic sites,
objects, and structures that have been entered in the National
Register -of Historic Places. A designated State Historic Preser
vation Officer has administrative responsibility for these funds.
Executive Order No.: 11593
In May 1972, the President issued this order which requires that
all federal agencies inventory all historic features that qualify
for inclusion in the National Register that are located on federal
land. This inventory completed in 1973 established a complete
federal and state historic,resources inventory.

The National Register. is the official list of our nation's cul-
tural properties that: are worth saving. The Register is published
biennially with pertinent information about each property and when
first published in 1969 contained over 1000"entries. The 1972
Register listed some 3500 entries and the list is still growing..
All. historical areas in the National Park System, together with -
those properties �:ligible for. designation as National Historic
Landmarks, are of national significance and thus qualify auto-
matically for the National Register. Properties of state or
local significance may be nominated by the states and will be
placed in the Register on approval of the National Park Service,
Nominations are made by a State Liaison Officer appointed by the
Governor to supervise the program within the state. A brofessior_al_
staff conducts a statewide historic survey and reports its findir_gs
to a professional review committee. If the property meets National
Register criteria, the committee recommends it for nomination.
The National Register is administrated by the National Park Service
located in the Department of the Interior.
- 11•-
Of extreme importanc0 e to preservationists in retaining the
National Register's inventory is the Section 106 review proced-
ure, The Advisory council exercises this important function
by responding with comments to undertakings.carried out, licensed.
or financially assisted by the Federal Government, when the under-
taking will affect a property listed in the National Register.
A Federally financed or licensed undertaking shall be considered
to have an.effect on a.National Register listing (districts, sites,
buildings, structures, and objects including their settings) when
any condition of the undertaking creates a change.in the quality
-of the historical, architectural, archaeological, or cultural
character that qualified the property under the National Register
criteria for listing in the -National Register.
Generally, adverse effect occurs under conditions which iizclude

ties of the National Park Service. Prehistoric ruins were among
the earliest areas set aside for Department of the Interior pro-
tection. The Antiquities Act: of 1906 provided the department
with initial protective and research powers in. respect to arch-
aeological resources.
The National Park Service conducts a program of salvage archaeo-

Targe proportion of the archaeological field work in this country -
is -conducted under the Interagency'Archaeological Salvage Program,
- sponsored by the National Park Service.
The National Historic Lanctuarks Program
The Historic Sites Act of 1935 authorizes the Secretary of the
Interior to make a survey of historic sites and buildings to
identify those of national significance. Potential landmarks
are evaluated by the Advisory Board on National Parks, Historic
Sites, Buildings, and Monuments, and are recommended to the.
Secretary of the Interior.,
Sites and structures found nationally significant by the Secretary
are eligible for designation as National Historic Landmarks and
are immediately recorded in the National Register. Upon the
owner's agreement to adhere to. accepted preservation precepts,
landmark designation is recognized by the award of a bronze
plaque and a certificate.
State Preservation Programs
Preservation.programs funded at state level usually are admin-
istrated by the Parks and Recreation Department. An increasing
number of states are creating a Department of History which ex-
pands the field of historic preservation well beyond the parameters
of the traditional parks and recreational approach. For assisting

step for preservationists. Solving and assisting the preservation
needs of the urban areas by utilizing -historic. districts, .facade
easements,zoning, and other.legal mechanisms are methods which
simply .don't evolve from -the park --house museum. oriented recrea-
tional specialists.
For state programs which may be available in any state, the
State Historic Preservation,Officer should be; contacted. Other
state departments which may have funding and programs relating
to preservation.interests would include the State Arts Commis-
sion (emphasis on cultural heritage), the Department of Housing
and Community Development (funding and programs for urban rehab-
ilitation and conservation programs which could complement pro-
perties adjacent to historic sites)..and the State Office of
Planning (planning grants,.programs and funds).
With the increasing interests in.historic preservation,: state
legislators are responding to citizen interests in developing
new programs, reorganizing state departments to more effectively
resolve preservation concerns, and appropriating more funding
.for preservation interests. 'It might be noted that if your state
is lacking in historic preservation programs and interests, with
the coming of the 1976 Bicentennial., now is the time to develop -
and push historic preservation programs. --They" -_-e a God, Mom,

Local Governmental Programs
Like -the state governments,. cities and couiaties-'are developing
new programs and techniques to assist preservation. At-this'local
level, civic leaders are.taking the flak from citizen groups in
response to the continual and hopeless destruction of local land-
marks.
Municipal ordinances are being adopted which affect demolition
proposals for landmark structures.. Included in these ordinances
are methods and mechanisms for preventing the demolition of
structures, the development of.funding proposals for property
acquisition, the creation of a review process for architectural
supervision on any remodeling or rehabilitation of a landmark
structure and attempts for tax relief and.zoning development*
rights transfers
Operating in an absence of adequate funding, local.jurisdictions
are beginning to realize that civic muscles can be flexed to
include and promote historic preservation zoning methods are
proving most effective in the creation of historic districts.
Down zoning properties to more reflect the existing physical
structures and not the speculative interests of the property
is proving beneficial in. preserving historic properties.
- 14
As planners,:we.know the past zoning games -that were played to
n i+rca Gpr�rn-00o-i-c r, crai 11 C! 4-}, evl,. A 4-1, i c r.ra{.} i
has proved most.detrimental to historic resources. What with
over zoned properties, the resulting tax bills and current build-
ing codes, .many,older or historic properties have been doomed
for destruction. Local governments are now revising their polic-
ies, laws and attitudes to more reflect historic preservation
concerns
Increased local government cooperation with the private sector
in assisting in the development of adaptive uses for landmark
structures .through zoni.ng,'parking variances, and building code
variancesare occurring everywhere. These civic practices do
not involve great amount of public expenditures as only.a new
outlook by the governmental structure is required. Policies
and priorities stated in the general.plan such as "Help preserve
those historic resources that add to the .city's heritage" is -a
small but well meaning attempt to redirect city policy. In an
updating of the Sacramento General Plan the following commentary
could reflect other city's progressive preservation attitudes:
Promote the preservation of the City's past resources to
enhance the'characteristics of Sacramento Community.
1. Support efforts being made to rehabilitate the Old
City and.its physical elements,
2. Promote Old Sacramento .as a tourist attraction.and a.

5. Support rehabilitation programs. for older structures

6. Support preservation of the remaining significant

7. Initiate a program to designate historic landmarks in.
the.Sacramento Community as an education resource of
all generations.
8. .Initiate programs to beautify unsightly streets.through -
out the.Sacramento Community..
13
Historic.District Ordinances have been developed over the years
by many cities and these district ordinances contain very sophis-
ticated methods for implementing local preservation desires.
- 15 -
1. Historic district ordinances generally include the
-a. Areas, places, sites, and structures of -special
historic or aesthetic interest will be protected.
b. It is expected that these historic values will
enhance tourism and the economy of the city.
c. All new buildings within a historic district -must
conform to an architectural style that is compatible
with other structures within the district,
d. No historic buildings within the district may be
torn down, demolished, destroyed,,altered., improved.
or otherwise changed in exterior appearance without
:i
''the approval of the proper review -committee.
e. Nonconforming land uses in the district will -be
phased out within a specified time.schedule.
f. Single buildings may be zoned as a.historic distric -
20 Design control district ordinances provide for.the fol-
lowing:
-a. The protection of places, areas, sites and structures
that have a special character or�aesthetic interest.
b. Control of the signs that can be used within the
.__..... .. design. control district.
..3. ..Review boards ( variously named) are generally. -"authorized
to take the following actions:
a. Advise.on design.and development -.of public structures
and works. of art.
b: Approve plans for any new construction within a
..historic district or design district.
c. Approve any plans to change historic structures.
d. Place sites or structures on a city list of landmarks
and make recommendations for the placing of any sites
or structures on the California Historical Landmarks
list and the Points of Historical Interest.list. 14
Another local governmental legal tool is the use of facade or
architectural easements. Through the use of a deed restriction
or convenants acquired by the city or private agency from the
property owner, exterior facades may be controlled by the holders
of the easement. This prevents future mutilation of the structure,
the street facade and assists in the preservation of visual street
scenes. In New York recently.the following occurred_
-' 16 =
Since the buildings were of considerable historic merit
and would serve_ as an edilca.ti•onal and cill:tiiral benefit
to citizens throughout*the Hudson River Valley, it was
determined that the agency would take perpetual facade
easements on the exteriors of the buildings and histor
ically rehabilitate .these exteriors. The owners, in re�
. turn, agreed to rehabilitate the 'interiors of th-e build-
ings,.to preserve the outsides of the buildings, and not
make any changes to.the exteriors without approval of -the
City of Hudson. 15
The Program of the Private Sector
State and local preservation groups have been recording.r_apid
growth rates. The National Trust for Historic Preservation
membership was 20,299 persons in 1969 and in 1974 the member-
ship had ihcreased:to 48,214 persons. In California, the
California.Historical Society membership has increased from 3,800.
persons in 1970 to 7,500 persons in 1974.
Aggressive leadership and innovative programs such as house tours,
day and evening.lecture programs, bus trips and outings to signi-
ficant historical sites and.versatil.e programs in the house museums
are.being adopted by historical societies. The days of the blue
tinted hair little old lady gatherings at historical society teas
are over. Local historical societies are becoming more action
oriented and are developing their memberships to eloquently res-
pond to City Hall on preservation and environmental matters..
Leadership.in the private sector programs is provided by the
National Trust for Historic Preservation. They provide a wealth
of technical data and have regional field offices staffed with
preservation experts : _to assist.. local preservaL.ion groups.<. -,._:.A .. ;._.
their literature.states:
"The National Trust for Historic Preservation in the United
States is the only private, nonprofit organization chartered
by Congress with the responsibility to encourage public
participation in the.preservation of districts, structures,
sites, buildings and objects significant in American history
and culture." 16
T1 -ie National Trust conducts preservation workshops throughout
the United States and acts as a Clearinghouse on all historical
preservation materials. One cannot over -emphasize the resources
of the National Trust. For a local planner seeking assistance
in resolving preservation problems, a phone call to the. National
_ Trust should be an immediate.priority..
Another.source of private assistance and some seed money funding
is the America the Beautiful Fund. Their orientation is discussed
in their recent book Old Glory and describes their organization
as:
.,.a nonprofit foundation.which is supported by public
contributions for the purpose of encouraging grass roots

history projects, once they can -demonstrate a capacity to
make effective use of assistance.. 17
PLANNING TOOLS AND EDUCATIONAL OPPORT MITIES
For the planner who is given the assignment of doing something
to resolve historic preserva.tion.needs the following summary of
resources -should -be helpful.
Architectural Surveys and Inventory Procedures
The Architectural Survey 18
Historic Resources Inventory 19
Historic Resources Survey Manual 20
Historic Preservation in San Francisco's Inner Mission 2
Sacramento '.'Old City" - A Preservation, Program 22
The above reference materials illustrate inventory procedures
...such as forming a survey committee, determining the survey type,
maxim preliminary i.nveszi.ga.r.i.ons, selecring si:rucru.r..es ror
recording, preparing the records, evaluating the survey data
and utilizing the survey.for preservation planning.
The San Francisco Inner Mission booklet is an excellent attempt
to stimulate local citizen support and direct community focus to
resolving a district's preservation needs.. Written in an easy.
.style, discussing the various.architectural styles of the area.
such as Queen Anne Ita.liana.te and Stick Victorians, the booklet
is heavily peppered with sketches and is.the kind of book which
evokes and promotes neighborhood pride. Such survey data also
acts as excellent selling tools to promoi.e action from .lenders
and city hall.
,.In the educational field, historic preservation curriculums are
- being expanded and adopted in many leading universities. Emana-
ting from the backgrounds of architectural history, archaeology,
government, city planning, architecture and landscape arciiitec-
ture, the programs dive into the problems.of the central city
and urban design. Curiously, it seems historic preservationists
cannot talk long before they are completely into the realm of
urban design. Preservationists confront all the housing and
..community development constraints such as lending, red lining,
assessment procedures, noncompatible and speculative over -zoned
properties, conflicts with building code and the building inspec-
tion department, relocation, and the concerns for low and moderate
income housing in any crusade -to save a t
strucure or district.

urban design, art and architectural history, city planning,
community development, archaeology and law. Past educational
efforts leading to.a masters degree have usually been oriented
to the specifics of .American Culture, American History, Museum
Studies, Architecture, Architectural History, Landscape Archi-
tecture -.and City Planning, all of which terminated with`a masters
but did not.include a comprehensive approach to.resolving his-
toric preservation problems.
A sample of leading educational facilities known for masters
programs would include Columbia,'Cornell., and the Universities
of California, Michigan, Florida, and Georgia.
As the historic preservation is an emerging field, short courses,
seminars, summer_ programs, and -university extension programs have
been well attended and offer unique opportunities for professionals
to learn and share their knowledge, The National Trust for His-
toric Preservation, Colonial Williamsburg, Winterthur, and Univer-
sity of Florida's Preservation Institute on Nantucket, all have
provided leadership in historic preservation training. Within
the planning schools there is a marvelous opportunity to provide
historic preservation programs,
HISTORIC PRESERVATION LEADERSHIP
Traditionally in.the public sector, the National Park Service

servation programs. In.the private sector, the National Trust
has provided excellent leadership,
Within the professions; AIA leadership has long been established=
and in Handbook of Professional Practice, they state:
The increasing awareness of the value of vintage architecture
as a relevant element in contemporary society has encouraged
architects to.contribute to the preservation effort, 23
The American Society of Landscape Architects have also adopted
national policies to promote historic preservation efforts.
Other groups such"as the American Association for State and Local
History, the Society of Architectural Historians, and loose
coalitions of historians and museum curators have been active
in the preservation field, Within the historic societies of
America it should be noted that many members are more concerned
whether George `Washington really slept here or there or whether
Sir Francis Drake landed at Bolinas, Point Reyes, or San Francisco
Bay. The educational influence of historical research often takes
precedence over the physical urban environmental concerns that
planners find so critical.
AIP membership should strongly.endorse and seek to improve its
position in the historic preservation field. Educational oppor-
tunities and curriculums should be developed in planning schools.
19 .
Because of the urbTi evolution or our hastorlo resources 'his-
toric preservation concerns are i.ntimately'tied to the planning
pro i:ession. Nay% sliow tnai, we as
practicing planners did not have our shops. in order when it
came to giving aid t'o historic preservation needs. The tools,
: legal°mechanisms and opportunities for a Historic Preservation
Element are now with us.
THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION ELEMENT AND AIP OPPORTUNITIES FOR ACTION
National AIP.goals have been established for promoting the Historic
.Preservation Element. State legislative attempts have been proposed
in California. Legal mechanisms formulated for the environmental
movementmovement are readily available for application. The growing number
of outraged citizens seeing the daily destruction of their historic
resources want corrective and preventive actions. The housing
rehabilitation and. .-conservation people want preservation measures.
adopted and implemented in their neighborhoods. The private'invest-
ment sector has.realized that Ghiradelli Squares, Georgetowns, and
O1d.Towns, present excellent investment opportunities. Historic.
preservationists are expanding their philosophies and pushing for
the adaptive living use of structures rather than use as house
museums. With. the coming. of,the 1976 Bicentennial,. the media is
emphasizing American history. Truly the'time-for historic pre-
servation -interests to score is now.
Therefore, planners and ATP because of their professional training
should:
Support and actively expand the lgationai AIP historic
preservation goals.
At AIP state and section levels adopt and promote the
planners -role in the historic preservation field.
Promote and sponsor state legislation to include a
Historic Preservation -Element as an .element required
in general plans.
At a local level, assist historic preservation efforts
and programs and .place emphasis on these concerns in
the comprehensive planning process.
- Establish historic preservation goals in the general plan.
-- At a local level, review all new development proposals
for their impact on historic resources,
- In the private or public development and review of
Environmental Impact Reports (EIR's) planners should.
thoroughly review these documents for inclusion of
Historic.Preservation Impacts,
Establish and expand university planning curriculums
to include and emphasize historic preservation training.

Dear Reader:
p
America faces a landmark crisis. Of the 16,000 buildings listed in the
Federal government's Historic American Buildings' Survey; one-third have
already been razed--most'of them victims of.the marketplace and financial
pressures upon their. owners. The University of Illinois Press has just
published an important book which offers a solution to this pressing.
dilemma:.. SPACE ADRIFT: LANDMARK PRESERVATION AND THE MARKETPLACE by
John J. Costonis.
In this book Costonis outlines his Chicago Plan, an ingenious proposal
for the preservation of urban landmarks at a minimal cost to their owners
and the nation's cities through the implemen.tation.o.f a development rights
transfer. program. Recognizing that these historic buildings typically
exhaust only.a fraction' of the development potential authorized for.
their sites by modern zoning codes, the Plan would allow unused rights
to be sold to nearby or adjacent sites. With'the transfer of thei.r rights,
the economic pressures on urban landmarks would vanish, and Americans
would no longer witness the relentless destruction of.such architectural
giants as Chicago's Garrick Theatre and the Old Stock Exchange building.

7
On November 1, '1971, Time led off its editorial section with an article
titled "The Disposable Sullivans." Noting the astounding fact that
sixty-six of..the.ninety-two Sullivan buildings once standing in Ch;icago
have been demolished, the editors concluded: "At some point, Chicago
is going to have to decide.that its vintage artifacts of genius are not
d'isposable.like empty cans or old tires.
John J. Costonis has proposed the Chicago Plan as a remedy for the
dest_r_ucti.o.n o_f__aJ 1 of Ameri ca_',s_ archi te.c.t.u.r_al_.:he.r_i_tage:. _ _HZ_s-pl-an
has been heralded-by Ada Louise Huxtable in the New York Times as "one
of the most dramatic and hopeful events in urban America.'—Hailed by
the AIA Journal as "a manual for. action;".SPACE ADRIFT: LANDMARK

ARTICLE XLII. HISTORICAL PRESERVATION
DISTRICT FOR TOWN OF MENDOCINO.
Sec. 20 - 111. Purpose.
"The Board of Super%isurs of the County of Mendocino find and de-
clare that the community of Mendocino and its immediate environs represents
a unique and outstanding example of early California architecture and town
development connected with the redwood lumber industry along the Men-
docino Coast in the last. half of the 19th century.
It further finds that much of the unique character of this community
rests with the style of architecture which dominates the town and which is
representative of early northern California architecture, to the extent that
it has achieved recognition by being placed un the National Register of
Historic Places.
Therefore, the board finds that a Historical Preservation District is
needed to preserve the architecture .and character of this community. It
furrher finds that the preservation of many buildings, representative of
early northern California architecture within the town of Mendocino is
essential to the economic and cultural development of Mendocino, and
to the economy of the town and .of the County, which is in large measure
based on tourism arid visitors who have been attracted to the town in
substantial numbers. (Ord. No. 1057A, adopted 1973.)
Sec. 20 - 112. Designation of District.
As an overlay district for which regulations are hereby established in
addition to the "usc regulations" imposed by the existing and future zone
classification districts for said area, there is hereby established a Historical
Preservation District in the unincorporated area of the County of Mendocino
consisting of the area described as fellows:
All that real property situated in the County of Mendocino, State
10of California, described in Exhibit "A", which is incorporated herein by
reference and is available for public inspection at the office of the
Mendocino County' Office of the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors;
Courthouse, Ukiah. Such area shall be subject to the provisions of this
article. (Ord. No. 1057A, adopted 1973.)
Sec. 20 - 113. Designation of Historical Zones.
Within the Historical Preservation District as described in Section
20-112 of this ordinance there are established Historical Zones as follows:
(a) Historical Zone A is all•that area within the Historical Preserva-
tion District and bounded -on the north by Slaughter }louse Gulch,
on the east by California State Highway One, on the south by Big
River and waters of Mendocino Bay, and on the west by the Pacific
Ocean.
(b) flisturical Zone B is all that area within the Historical Preservation
District other than that which is described in sub-par;rgraph (a) of this
paragraph. (Ord. No. 1057A, adopted 1973.)
Sec. 20-114 ZONING Sec. 20 -1 16.
Sec. 20-114. Establishment of Historical Review Board.
There is hereby 'established a Historical Review Board, hereinafter
called "Review Board", whose function and duties shall be to review all
applications for new construction, or the alteration of the exterior surfaces
of existitgg:structures within the Historical Preservation District. Said Review
Board sliall consist of five (5) members, ail of %�,liom. shall be electors of or
owners of real property in said Historical Preservation District, and who

"One of the most dramatic and hopeful developments in urban
America," are the terms used by Ada Louise Huxtable in the New
York Times in praise of the ingenious approach advocated by John J.
Costonis for protecting landmark buildings in America's cities. Other
comments on Costonis's proposal — the Chicago Plan — as well as
on his major new books include:
"A trend -setting proposal.... In preservation, as Chicago goes, so
goes the nation." — from an editorial in the New York Times.
The plan "meets the hard question of how to be fair to the property
owner and still satisfy tradition and pride. It literally, as does money
in a bank, creates money to make saving landmarks financially
feasible. The new proposal moves the issue from the handwringing
and the tsk-tsking stage to the specifics." — from an editorial in the
Chicago Sun -Times.
"The book stands out as one of the landmark contributions to the
body of literature on the legal aspects of historic preservation during
the last thirty years.... a tremendously important piece of work."
— Robert Stipe, professor of law and government at the University
of North Carolina.
"The strength of the Chicago Plan is that it looks at economics as
Louis Sullivan and his peers looked at architecture: a human -oriented
blend of science and art." — William Marlin, in the Christian Science
Monitor.
"It is time to work vigorously for improving land use development
control processes at the state and local levels. This book can be a
manual for action." — Michael B. Barker, Administrator, AIA Depart-
ment of Environment and Design, in AIA Journal.

SPACE ADRIFT
Landmark Preservation
and the Marketplace
The Old Chicago Stock Exchange, an 1893
architectural masterpiece of Sullivan and
Adler, was recently demolished because it
rose only thirteen stories in a zone where
forty-five were permitted. The marketplace
dictated replacement of the landmark with
a modern office tower that would occupy the
full forty-five stories. Concerning attempts
to save the Exchange, Mayor Daley re-
marked, "We had a lot of ink, and words
on television ... but no one would come up
with the money." More than one-third of
the 16,000 buildings listed in the Historic
American Buildings Survey are gone for the
same reason. -Many remaining landmark
buildings can be saved if a new plan fash-
ioned by Costonis is implemented in time —
a plan Ada Louise Huxtable has called "a
brilliant, practical, progressive extension
of existing zoning tools."
The "Chicago Plan," detailed in this vol-
ume, promises to relieve the severe market
pressures to which urban landmarks like the
Exchange so often fall victim. It involves
government purchase of a landmark's un-
used development potential (or full space
allotment) and subsequent sale (in the form
of ."development rights") to a developer
who can then make his new building larger
and more profitable than zoning regula-
tions normally permit. The transfer of devel-
opment rights in this manner, carried out
according to strict urban design controls,
would shift preservation costs from the city
and the landmark owner to the downtown
development process itself. In March, 1973,
Secretary Rogers C. B. Morton of the U.S.
Department of the Interior proposed that
twelve of Chicago's major landmark build-
ings be included in a National Cultural
Park, the economic keystone of which would
be Costonis's Chicago Plan. Morton wrote,
•
"The concept of development rights transfer
offers one of the few encouraging ap-
proaches to the challenge of redirecting
urban economic forces so that they foster
rather than obstruct the preservation of the
landmark buildings of our cities.. Professor
Costonis's work is truly seminal and merits
serious study by all who would .retain the
best of the past as living parts of the man-
made environment."
The adoption of Costonis's plan, coupled
with Morton's proposal for a National Cul-
tural Park, would, in the words of Wolf
Yon Eckardt of the Washington Post, ".. .
mean true progress toward a new cultural
renaissance in America as we move on and
look forward to the nation's bicentennial
celebration in 1976."
