include the construction of up to 76 residential units over roughly 129,202 square feet. Based on the existing maximum height allowable in the R-M-3.6 zone, future development would not exceed 45 feet and would be up to approximately 4-5 stories tall. Development would likely consist of buildings that are either row houses, condominiums, apartments, or other units, ranging in size from 400 square feet to 2,210 square feet, all which would be consistent with the Salinas General Plan description of the High Density Residential land use designation.
Cultural Resources Records Search
On May 20, 2021, Rincon requested a records search of the project site and a 0.5-mile radius from the California Historical Resources Information System (CHRIS) at the Northwest Information Center (NWIC) located at Sonoma State University. On June 23, 2021, Rincon received the results of the records search for the proposed project. The purpose of the records search was to identify previously conducted cultural resources studies and previously recorded cultural resources located within the existing project site and a 0.5-mile radius. In addition to the NWIC records search, a review of the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP), the California Register of Historical Resources (CRHR), the Office of Historic Preservation Historic Properties Directory, the California Inventory of Historic Resources, the Built Environment Resource Directory, and the Archaeological Determinations of Eligibility list was conducted.
Previously Conducted Studies
The NWIC records search identified 39 previously conducted cultural resources studies within the 0.5- mile radius of the project site (Attachment 2), of which one (S-043489) includes portions of the current project site as discussed here.
S-043489
In 2013, Lorna Billat of Earth Touch, Inc. and Dana E. Supernowicz of Historic Resource Associates conducted study S-043489 entitled Collocation (“CO”) Submission Packet FCC Form 621, Downtown Salinas, CNU3535. This study included an architectural evaluation for the project by Supernowicz entitled Architectural Evaluation Study of the Downtown Salinas Project, AT&T Mobility Site No.
CNU3535, 220 Bridge Street, Salinas, Monterey County, California 93941. The study included the development of the Area of Potential Effects (APE), a records search of the NWIC, archival research, and a pedestrian survey of the APE. Additionally, a vehicular survey was conducted for the visual APE, approximately a 0.5-mile radius around the direct APE. The study identified one historical resource, the PG&E Moss Landing-Salinas Tower No. 011/064; however, the tower was recommended ineligible for listing in the NRHP. No further cultural resources evaluations were recommended for the project. The recorded historical resource is located outside of the current project site. The study includes the entirety of the current project site within the visual APE; therefore, no formal pedestrian survey was conducted of the current project site.
Previously Recorded Resources
The NWIC records search identified 16 previously recorded cultural resources within a 0.5-mile radius of the project site (Table 1 and Attachment 2), of which none are identified within the project site. These resources include a historic district, four historic-period structures, six historic-period buildings, and one historic-period archaeological site.

Aerial Imagery and Historical Topographic Maps Review
Rincon completed a review of historical topographic maps and aerial imagery to ascertain the development history of the project site. Historical topographic maps from 1910 to 1964 depict the project site as undeveloped surrounded by a channelized creek to the west, south, and north (USGS 2021; NETR Online 2021). Historical topographic maps from 1970 to 1984 depict a structure added within the southeastern portion of the project site (NETR Online 2021). Aerial imagery from 1956 to 2005 depicts the project site as graded with a structure identified in the topographic maps, with housing development growing to the east and the water source as depicted on the topographic maps (NETR Online 2021). By 2009, the aerial imagery shows that the structure is no longer present, and vegetation has developed throughout the project site. Aerial imagery from 2012 depicts the project site in its current state, as graded with residential housing to the east and a channelized canal to the west, south, and north.
The site has been disturbed by the previous development and demolition of a structure from 1970 to 2009. Additionally, the project site was previously used as a staging area, and the City stated that the owner grants access to the project site which as lead to further disturbance of the site (City of Salinas 2021).
Sacred Lands File Search
Rincon contacted the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) on May 17, 2021, to request a Sacred Lands File (SLF) search of the project site. The NAHC emailed a response to the City on June 1, 2021, stating the SLF search was positive. In their response, the NAHC provided a list of 11 tribes who may have knowledge of cultural resources within the project site. The SLF search can be found in Attachment 3 of this report. Rincon was not contracted to conduct Native American outreach as a part of this cultural assessment.
City of Salinas
Cultural Resources Assessment for the 1 Preston Street Project
Pedestrian Field Survey
On August 20, 2021, Rincon Archaeologist Dustin Merrick, MA, Registered Professional Archaeologist (RPA), conducted a pedestrian survey of the project site. Mr. Merrick walked a series of pedestrian transects oriented generally north-south and east-west, spaced no more than 15 meters apart across the project site. Areas of exposed ground were inspected for prehistoric artifacts (e.g., flaked stone tools, tool-making debris, stone milling tools, ceramics, fire-affected rock), ecofacts (marine shell and bone), soil discoloration that might indicate the presence of a cultural midden, soil depressions, and features that indicate the former presence of structures or buildings (e.g., standing exterior walls, postholes, foundations) or historic debris (e.g., metal, glass, ceramics). Ground disturbances, such as burrows, and drainages were also visually inspected. Ground visibility within the project site ranged from poor along the perimeter (less than five percent) to excellent (greater than 95 percent) within the center.
The project site consisted of tan to dark brown sand and showed evidence of heavy disturbance. Native soils were intermixed with imported fill with some gravel. Figure 3 through Figure 6 in Attachment 1 depict the current conditions of the project site.
No new cultural resources were observed or recorded during the field survey.
Findings and Recommendations
The background research and pedestrian field survey did not identify any cultural resources within the project site. No built environment resources are present that may be impacted by the project; therefore Rincon recommends a finding of no impact to historical resources.
Although the SLF search was returned with positive results, no prehistoric resources were identified within the project site. Given the negative results of this study, the project site is considered to have low archaeological sensitivity. However, it is possible that unanticipated archaeological deposits and/or human remains could be encountered and damaged during the ground-disturbing activities associated with construction (such as grading and excavation), especially if those activities occur in less-disturbed buried sediments. Consequently, mitigation is necessary to ensure that potential impacts to archaeological resources, including those that may be considered historical resources, are reduced to a less-than-significant level.
Given the results of this assessment, Rincon recommends a finding of less than significant impact to archaeological resources with mitigation for the purposes of CEQA. The following is recommended in the unlikely case of unanticipated discoveries during ground-disturbing activities. Also included below is a summary of existing regulations regarding the discovery of human remains. With adherence to existing regulations, Rincon recommends a finding of less than significant impact to human remains.
Unanticipated Discovery of Cultural Resources
In the unlikely event that archaeological resources are unexpectedly encountered during ground- disturbing activities, work in the immediate area should be halted and an archaeologist meeting the Secretary of the Interior’s Professional Qualification Standards for archeology (National Park Service 1983) will be contacted immediately to evaluate the find. If the find is prehistoric, then a Native American representative will be contacted to participate in the evaluation of the find. If necessary, the City of Salinas
Cultural Resources Assessment for the 1 Preston Street Project
evaluation may require preparation of a treatment plan and archaeological testing for California Register of Historical Resources (CRHR) eligibility. If the discovery proves to be eligible for listing in the CRHR and cannot be avoided additional work, such as testing and data recovery excavations, may be warranted to mitigate any significant impacts to cultural resources to less than a significant level.
Unanticipated Discovery of Human Remains
In the unlikely event of an unanticipated discovery of human remains, all ground-disturbing activities in the vicinity of the discovery will be immediately suspended and redirected elsewhere. All steps required to comply with State of California Health and Safety Code Section 7050.5 and Public Resources Code Section 5097.98 will be implemented including contacting the Monterey County Department of Medical Examiner-Coroner. If the human remains are determined to be prehistoric, the coroner will notify the NAHC, which will determine and notify a most likely descendant (MLD). The MLD shall complete an inspection of the site and provide recommendations for treatment to the landowner within 48 hours of being granted access.
Please do not hesitate to contact Rincon with any questions regarding this cultural resources assessment.

Re: Native American Consultation, Pursuant to Senate Bill 18 (SB18), Government Codes §65352.3 and §65352.4, as well as Assembly Bill 52 (AB52), Public Resources Codes §21080.1, §21080.3.1 and §21080.3.2, 1 Preston Street Project, Monterey County
Dear Ms. Brinton:
Attached is a consultation list of tribes with traditional lands or cultural places located within the boundaries of the above referenced counties or projects.
Government Codes §65352.3 and §65352.4 require local governments to consult with California Native American tribes identified by the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) for the purpose of avoiding, protecting, and/or mitigating impacts to cultural places when creating or amending General Plans, Specific Plans and Community Plans.
Public Resources Codes §21080.3.1 and §21080.3.2 requires public agencies to consult with California Native American tribes identified by the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) for the purpose of avoiding, protecting, and/or mitigating impacts to tribal cultural resources as defined, for California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) projects.
The law does not preclude local governments and agencies from initiating consultation with the tribes that are culturally and traditionally affiliated within your jurisdiction. The NAHC believes that this is the best practice to ensure that tribes are consulted commensurate with the intent of the law.
Best practice for the AB52 process and in accordance with Public Resources Code §21080.3.1(d), is to do the following:
Within 14 days of determining that an application for a project is complete or a decision by a public agency to undertake a project, the lead agency shall provide formal notification to the designated contact of, or a tribal representative of, traditionally and culturally affiliated California Native American tribes that have requested notice, which shall be accomplished by means of at least one written notification that includes a brief description of the proposed project and its location, the lead agency contact information, and a notification that the California Native American tribe has 30 days to request consultation pursuant to this section.
The NAHC also recommends, but does not require that lead agencies include in their notification letters, information regarding any cultural resources assessment that has been completed on the area of potential affect (APE), such as:

1. The results of any record search that may have been conducted at an Information Center of the California Historical Resources Information System (CHRIS), including, but not limited to:
• A listing of any and all known cultural resources have already been recorded on or adjacent to the APE, such as known archaeological sites;
• Copies of any and all cultural resource records and study reports that may have been provided by the Information Center as part of the records search response; • Whether the records search indicates a low, moderate or high probability that unrecorded cultural resources are located in the APE; and
• If a survey is recommended by the Information Center to determine whether previously unrecorded cultural resources are present.
2. The results of any archaeological inventory survey that was conducted, including:
• Any report that may contain site forms, site significance, and suggested mitigation measures.
All information regarding site locations, Native American human remains, and associated funerary objects should be in a separate confidential addendum, and not be made available for public disclosure in accordance with Government Code Section 6254.10.
3. The result of the Sacred Lands File (SFL) check conducted through the Native American Heritage Commission was positive. Please contact the tribes on the attached list for more information.
4. Any ethnographic studies conducted for any area including all or part of the potential APE; and
5. Any geotechnical reports regarding all or part of the potential APE.
Lead agencies should be aware that records maintained by the NAHC and CHRIS is not exhaustive, and a negative response to these searches does not preclude the existence of a tribal cultural resource. A tribe may be the only source of information regarding the existence of a tribal cultural resource.
This information will aid tribes in determining whether to request formal consultation. In the event, that they do, having the information beforehand well help to facilitate the consultation process.
If you receive notification of change of addresses and phone numbers from tribes, please notify the NAHC. With your assistance we can assure that our consultation list remains current.
If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact me at my email address:
