Historic Survey Does Not Replace Historic Analysis

An historic survey does not constitute an historic analysis for properties:

"For properties that remain on the inventory of historic resources, further analysis is required to make a final determination regarding a property’s eligibility for State of federal registry. This analysis must be completed by a qualified expert in the field of historic resource preservation. Once such an analysis is completed, this information can be considered by the City as part of the required environmental analysis for development proposals that may be submitted on the property in the future. Typically, property owners are required to fund the preparation of such
an analysis."
....

"For properties on the “Buildings of Interest” list, property owners benefit directly because the inventory documents why their building does not appear to meet the state or federal criteria for historic designation. As a result, the CEQA review for any projects on those properties will be streamlined unless new information comes to light after the inventory is finalized."
