3.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST <br />Historic Map Review <br />Review of the historic maps indicates that the project area was platted as part of San Leandro by <br />1878. The first known residence appears within the project area by 1907. A second and third <br />residence and associated ancillary buildings were built between 1917 and 1928. From 1928 to <br />1950, four residences and associated ancillary structures are added within the project area. By <br />1957, the residence that appears on the 1907 map and residence appearing on the 1928 map <br />and ancillary buildings had been replaced by the office building at 1388 Bancroft Avenue. <br />Between 1958 and 1963, the office building at 1380 Bancroft Avenue was constructed, leaving <br />four residences and five ancillary buildings remaining. By 1968, all but one residence had been <br />demolished to construct the parking lot. By 1974, only the two office buildings at 1300 and 1380 <br />Bancroft Avenue are depicted within the project area (Thompson & West 1878; USGS 1899, 1915, <br />1946, 1953, 1968, 1974; Sanborn Map Company 1907, 1911, 1928, 1950, 1957, 1963). <br />Historical Society Consultation <br />One August 1, 2018, Michael Baker International sent a letter to the San Leandro Historical Society <br />requesting information or concerns regarding historical resources in the project area. No response <br />has been received to date. <br />Field Survey <br />A field survey was conducted on August 2, 2018, to identify cultural resources in on the project <br />site. Two built environment resources, 1300 Bancroft Avenue and 1380 Bancroft Avenue, were <br />identified. Field observations were documented in notes. Photographs were taken and used in <br />the California Register evaluations for the resources. <br />The project site is completely built over, obscuring ground visibility; therefore, an archaeological <br />field survey was not completed. <br />California Register of Historical Resources Evaluations <br />The buildings at 1300 and 1380 Bancroft Avenue were evaluated and recommended ineligible for <br />listing in the California Register under Criteria 1, 2, 3, and 4 because of their lack of association <br />with a historic context. Additionally, the properties were evaluated in accordance with Section <br />15064.5(a) (2)-(3) of the CEQA Guidelines using the criteria outlined in Section 5024.1 of the <br />California Public Resources Code. The properties are not historical resources for the purposes of <br />CEQA. <br />Please see Attachment 3 in Appendix CUL for full property descriptions, construction history, <br />historic context, photographs, and evaluations for 1300 Bancroft Avenue and 1380 Bancroft <br />Avenue. <br />CHECKLIST DISCUSSION <br />a) No Impact. Two properties were evaluated as part of the project (at 1300 and 1380 <br />Bancroft Avenue). Neither property appears eligible for inclusion in the California Register. <br />Therefore, no historical resources have been identified on the site, and the proposed <br />project would result in no impact. <br />b) Less Than Significant Impact with Mitigation Incorporated.
