Date: 10/19/2021 Records Search File #: 11950I Project: Parson Apartments, 1808 Parsons Avenue, Merced, California Terry L. Farmer Senior Environmental Planner BaseCamp Environmental, Inc. Invoice to: Rayanna Beck 802 W. Lodi Avenue [email protected] Lodi, CA 95240 209-224-8213 [email protected] We have conducted a non-confidential extended records search as per your request for the above-referenced project area located on the Merced USGS 7.5-minute quadrangle map in Merced County. Search of our files includes review of our maps for the specific project area and the immediate vicinity of the project area, and review of the following: National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) California Register of Historical Resources (CRHR) California Inventory of Historic Resources (1976) California Historical Landmarks California Points of Historical Interest listing Office of Historic Preservation Built Environment Resource Directory (BERD) and the Archaeological Determinations of Eligibility (ADOE) Survey of Surveys (1989) Caltrans State and Local Bridges Inventory General Land Office Plats Other pertinent historic data available at the CCaIC for each specific county The following details the results of the records search: Prehistoric or historic resources within the project area: • There are no formally recorded prehistoric or historic archaeological resources or historic buildings within the project area. • The project area is within the overall Merced Irrigation District (P-24-001904), encompassing portions of 14 USGS quadrangles in Merced and Mariposa counties. There are no contributing water conveyance elements of this district documented within the project area.

CENTRAL CALIFORNIA INFORMATION CENTER California Historical Resources Information System Department of Anthropology – California State University, Stanislaus One University Circle, Turlock, California 95382 (209) 667-3307 _____________________________________________________________________________________________ Alpine, Calaveras, Mariposa, Merced, San Joaquin, Stanislaus & Tuolumne Counties 194

• The General Land Office Survey Plat for T7S R14E (dated 1854) does not show any historic features within the NE ¼ of the SE ¼ of Section 28. • The 1914 and 1946 editions of the Merced USGS quadrangle do not reference any historic features within the project area. Prehistoric or historic resources within the immediate vicinity of the project area: There are no formally recorded prehistoric or historic archaeological resources or historic buildings within the immediate vicinity of the project area. The expanse of the Merced Irrigation District proposed boundary referenced above extends into the area surrounding the project area. Resources that are known to have value to local cultural groups: None has been formally reported to the Information Center. Previous investigations within the project area: None has been formally reported to the Information Center. Recommendations/Comments: Please be advised that a historical resource is defined as a building, structure, object, prehistoric or historic archaeological site, or district possessing physical evidence of human activities over 45 years old. Since the project area has not been subject to previous investigations, there may be unidentified features involved in your project that are 45 years or older and considered as historical resources requiring further study and evaluation by a qualified professional of the appropriate discipline. If the current project does not include ground disturbance, further study for archaeological resources is not recommended at this time. If ground disturbance is considered a part of the current project, we recommend further review for the possibility of identifying prehistoric or historic-era archaeological resources. If the proposed project contains buildings or structures that meet the minimum age requirement (45 years in age or older) it is recommended that the resource/s be assessed by a professional familiar with architecture and history of the county. Review of the available historic building/structure data has included only those sources listed above and should not be considered comprehensive. If at any time you might require the services of a qualified professional the Statewide Referral List for Historical Resources Consultants is posted for your use on the internet at http://chrisinfo.org If archaeological resources are encountered during project-related activities, work should be temporarily halted in the vicinity of the discovered materials and workers should avoid altering the materials and their context until a qualified professional archaeologist has evaluated the situation and provided appropriate recommendations. Project personnel should not collect cultural resources. 195

If human remains are discovered, California Health and Safety Code Section 7050.5 requires you to protect the discovery and notify the county coroner, who will determine if the find is Native American. If the remains are recognized as Native American, the coroner shall then notify the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC). California Public Resources Code Section 5097.98 authorizes the NAHC to appoint a Most Likely Descendant (MLD) who will make recommendations for the treatment of the discovery. Due to processing delays and other factors, not all of the historical resource reports and resource records that have been submitted to the State Office of Historic Preservation are available via this records search. Additional information may be available through the federal, state, and local agencies that produced or paid for historical resource management work in the search area. Additionally, Native American tribes have historical resource information not in the CHRIS Inventory, and you should contact the California Native American Heritage Commission for information on local/regional tribal contacts. The California Office of Historic Preservation (OHP) contracts with the California Historical Resources Information System’s (CHRIS) regional Information Centers (ICs) to maintain information in the CHRIS inventory and make it available to local, state, and federal agencies, cultural resource professionals, Native American tribes, researchers, and the public. Recommendations made by IC coordinators or their staff regarding the interpretation and application of this information are advisory only. Such recommendations do not necessarily represent the evaluation or opinion of the State Historic Preservation Officer in carrying out the OHP’s regulatory authority under federal and state law. We thank you for contacting this office regarding historical resource preservation. Please let us know when we can be of further service. Thank you for submitting the signed Access Agreement Short Form. Note: Billing will be transmitted separately via email from the Financial Services office ($150.00), payable within 60 days of receipt of the invoice. If you wish to include payment by Credit Card, you must wait to receive the official invoice from Financial Services so that you can reference the CMP # (Invoice Number), and then contact the link below: https://commerce.cashnet.com/ANTHROPOLOGY Sincerely, E.

Findings/Considerations
General Plan/Zoning Compliance
• If the General Plan and Zone Change are approved, the project would comply with the General Plan and Zoning designations.
• General Plan Land Use and Housing Element Goals/Policies would be achieved by the project (refer to Finding A of Staff Report).

Traffic/Circulation
• Parsons Avenue has been widened to 4-lanes in front of the project site. • The addition of the project traffic would not reduce the level of service below LOS D. • Alternative Transportation is available (bus stops, bike lanes, sidewalks) • VMT analysis resulted in less than significant impacts. 211
Findings/Considerations
Parking
• 191 spaces required.
• 5% reduction allowed due to proximity to the bus stop on Parsons Avenue. • 181 spaced required after reduction.
• 184 spaces provided.
• Bicycle parking required per Zoning Ordinance (Condition #17) Landscaping
• Landscaping required throughout the site.
• Street trees required in accordance with the Merced Municipal Code. • Conditions #22-25 address landscaping and irrigation requirements. 212
Findings/Conditions
Neighborhood Impact
• Site is adjacent to Joe Herb Park, residential uses, vacant land, and commercial uses. • The three-story buildings would be taller than the other buildings in the area. • Additional lighting would be added to the area.
• General Plan Policies and conditions of approval would reduce impacts from lighting. • Condition #28 requires a solid fence along the eastern property line adjacent to the residential uses.
• Condition #35 requires the site to be well-maintained and attractive. • Uses allowed under the Thoroughfare Commercial Zone could include gas stations, hotels, car washes, etc.
• All property owners within 300 feet notified of proposed project. • Staff received one call inquiring about the project.
