SAN LEANDRO SHORELINE DEVELOPMENT DRAFT EIR <br />CITY OF SAN LEANDRO <br />CULTURAL RESOURCES <br />resource as historically sensitive. This neighborhood along with other locally recognized historic resources <br />are mainly located in the central part of the city, a distance of approximately 2.4 miles northeast to the <br />Project site. 14 <br />The Project site contains three monuments that are not directly related to events that occurred within the <br />Project site. One is for California Historic Landmark (CHL) #824, commemorating the oyster beds that <br />lined the shore at the turn of the 20th century. A plaque was erected at this location but has since been <br />stolen. A mosaic of the oyster beds is located at the end of Mulford Point. <br />There is also a plaque commemorating the dedication of the San Leandro channel as the Jack D. Maltester <br />Channel. Maltester served as mayor of San Leandro for 20 years. The United States Congress made the <br />designation in 1986 and the plaque was erected on the south side of Pescador Point in 1987. <br />The third monument is the Lost Boats Memorial placed by the United States Submarine Veterans of World <br />War II in 1986 and dedicated in 2001. It was placed in memory of the USS Argonaut and the USS Grampus, <br />both submarines lost during World War II. The monument is located near the end of Mulford Point and <br />includes a torpedo and flag poles. <br />History of the Project Site <br />A review of historical maps of the Project site indicate that the area was once home to Wick's Landing, a <br />warehouse depicted on the 1859 General Land Office (GLO) plat for the Rancho San Leandro.t5 The <br />building warehoused hay, produce, game, and other goods that were transported across the bay from this <br />location before railroads existed.16 From 1878 on, the site was known as Mulford Landing. No other <br />buildings or structures are shown within the Project site prior to 1969, when the San Leandro marina first <br />appears on the USGS map." <br />4.4.2 STANDARDS OF SIGNIFICANCE <br />The Project would result in a significant impact to cultural resources if it would: <br />1.
