4. ENVffiONMENTAL IMPACT ANALYSIS<br />

4.15. CULTURAL RESOURCES<br />

The Program EIR defined the following significance threshold for cultural resources:<br />

"Cultural resources are considered significant if the project disrupts or adversely<br />

effects a prehistoric or historic archaeological site, a property <strong>of</strong> historic or<br />

cultural significance to a community or ethnic or social group, or a<br />

paleontological site except as a part <strong>of</strong> a scientific study. n<br />

Two <strong>of</strong> the <strong>City</strong>'s historically significant structures are located in the Redevelopment<br />

Area: the old Southern Pacific Railroad Station (built in 1923) and the Grand Central Air<br />

Tenninal (now part <strong>of</strong> the Grand Central Industrial Centre, built in 1928). Although no known<br />

historic structures .are located on or near the project site, a comprehensive survey and<br />

documentation <strong>of</strong> the pre-1942 buildings is recommended in the Program EIR.I04<br />

The Redevelopment Area has a low potential for containing undisturbed significant<br />

prehistoric archaeological resources. Therefore, impacts on archaeological resources are<br />

considered only potentially adverse, but with implementation <strong>of</strong> the mitigation measures less<br />

than significant. Finally, no paleontological resources are known within the Redevelopment<br />

Area; therefore, impacts on these resources are considered less than significant.<br />

PROPOSED PROJECT IMPACTS<br />

None <strong>of</strong> the known historically significant structures found in the Redevelopment Area<br />

are located within the proposed project's boundaries, or would be otherwise affected by the<br />

project. Further, the existing structures on the project site are recent, post 1942 temporary<br />

structures which are not considered historically significant.<br />

As the site lies on the flood plain <strong>of</strong> the pre-channelized Los Angeles River and is<br />

covered with fill material varying in depth from five to 20 feet, the potential for undisturbed<br />
