The California Environmental Quality Act is the primary legal tool used in California to protect historic resources threatened by a proposed development project. Projects that adversely impact an historic resource including demolition, partial demolition, alteration, relocation, typically require preparation to analyze and evaluate a range of alternatives that would avoid or reduce such impacts. Many historic preservation professionals find CEQA confusing and cultural resource analysis is misunderstood by many CEQA professionals. This workshop will explore thresholds, alternatives, district impacts ,legal issues and mitigation and review projects that have either led to the destruction or successfully saved cultural resources through the environmental review process.
