City of Pleasanton—Merritt Property Project Consistency Checklist 15183 Consistency Checklist 84 specific or project-specific measures to reduce any potential impacts and ensure that impacts remain less than significant. Proposed Project Analysis and Conclusion Because the existing house at 4131 Foothill Road on the project site is over 45 years in age, a Phase I Cultural Resources Assessment (Phase I CRA) (Appendix D) and historical assessment were prepared for the proposed project by FirstCarbon Solutions (FCS) on January 25, 2024. The building was evaluated for eligibility for designation as a historic resource based on the criteria of the national Register of Historic Places (NRHP) and the California Register of Historical Resources (CRHR). This criteria includes the following: • Association with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of history or the cultural heritage of California or the United States; • Association with the lives of persons important to local, California, or national history; • Embodying the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, region, method of construction, or representing the work of a master, or possessing high artistic values; or • Has yielded, or has the potential to yield, information important to the prehistory or history of the local area, California, or the nation. The building is not associated with significant events or persons, and thus it does not appear to be eligible for listing under criteria 1 or 2. The building is an example of contemporary architecture of the time it was bult, but it was not created by any of the significant architects of the day nor is it a particularly unique example from the period. The home does not possess any distinctive characteristics of the style of architecture, and therefore, the building would not be eligible for listing under Criterion 3. In addition, the building does not appear to have the potential to yield information important to history and, thus, does not appear to be potentially eligible for listing under Criterion 4. It was determined that the building is not eligible to be registered as a historic resource under the CRHR or NRHP under this criteria. In order to determine the presence or absence of other historic and archaeological resources within the project site, a records search and literature review were conducted for the project site and a 0.25-mile search radius on October 23, 2023, at the NWIC, located at Sonoma State University
