Summary of Housing Element Update FEIR Historic Resources The Housing Element Update FEIR indicated that development consistent with the Housing Element Update would result in additional development throughout the City. Many of the rezoned housing sites contain existing commercial or residential buildings, which could potentially be historic resources. Therefore, subsequent development consistent with the Housing Element Update could affect known historic resources or previously unidentified or undesignated resources. As the City receives development applications for subsequent development consistent with the Housing Element Update, those applications would be reviewed by the City for compliance with the policies and programs of the General Plan and Municipal Code related to the protection of historical resources. Individual development projects that propose to alter a building or structure greater than 45 years of age at the time an application is deemed complete would be required to undergo project-specific environmental review in compliance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.5 to determine whether the building or structure may be a historic resource and take appropriate action such as requiring additional site-specific or project-specific measures to reduce any potential impacts.
