In 1897, Orange County received a160-acre donation from James IrvineJr. This donation established the first county park in the State of California, receiving the name“Orange County Park,” and beginningthe history of one of the nation’spremier park systems.

Today, Orange County Parks (OC Parks) is a leader in park man-agement and preservation across thecountry, housing over 60,000 acres of natural and cultural resources or its community, with the original

160 acres remaining as part of IrvineRegional Park. The parks range from historical sites and buildings tosections of the California coastline,providing something educational,personal, or spiritual for residents to experience. Since 1897, OrangeCounty has taken pride in its numer-ous parks, tackling the responsibilityto maintain and protect the land for future generations.

“The ways the acreage has beenacquired over the years have varied,”says Griselda Castillo, Executive Officerfor the Orange County HistoricalCommission, “but the result is

a reflection of our residents’ visionand efforts to protect both our local natural beauty and our com-munity’s past.”

OC Parks also realizes the importance of history and historicpreservation, with seven historicalsites within the park system rangingfrom the Helena Modjeska HistoricHome & Gardens—designed by NewYork architect Stanford White andonce the home of Shakespeareanactress, Modjeska, from 1888-1906—to the original courthouse in OrangeCounty, the Old Orange CountyCourthouse, active from 1901-

1968. The Modjeska House is one of two National Landmarks in Orange County, the other being the Nixon Library.

“Through our historical parks, thepast can be brought alive for us inthe present, preserving our civic prideand accomplishments and, hopefully,can help us better understand oursociety today and in the future,” says Castillo.

The importance that OC Parksplaces on maintenance and using the parks as an educational resourceprovides the perfect backdrop forshowcasing the way Orange Countyvalues its history and community.California Preservation Foundation is proud to showcase some of thehistorical landmarks within the OCParks system at this year’s 2013Annual Conference in Orange County,including the Modjeska HistoricHome & Gardens and the Old OrangeCounty Courthouse.

“We hope that attendees at thisyear’s conference can benefit fromlearning some of the creative waysOC Parks has approached restoring,maintaining, and operating our historical parks through the use ofexpert contract providers, partner-ships, and volunteers,” says Castillo.“Historic preservation is not rejectionof our present, but an acknowledge-ment and recognition of the role the past plays today. Past challenges,grand visions, accomplishments and failures—there is value in these stories.”

CPF is bringing the 2013 Confer-ence to highlight areas like OC Parksthat are preserving local, historical

resources every day, and bringing tolight the different historical contextsthat comprise Orange County.

Although Orange County mightnot seem like a historical mecca tomost people, it’s the values that the county instills in its buildings,community, and history that makes it a historically important area. Theeffort to preserve, promote, and educate history are just as importantas the historical resources themselves.

“People don’t generally think of Orange County as having muchhistory beyond the obvious mid-century modern elements,” saysCastillo. “Our historical parks arewonderful resources to our county’sresidents and visitors interested inlearning more about the county’spast. We welcome any chance toshare and learn of practices, successes,and challenges in the managementof historic resources for the benefit of all.”

CEQA

The California Environmental QualityAct has been under unprecedentedassault in recent years. CPF hasjoined with over 150 conservation,historic preservation, and local grass-roots organizations to stave offattacks on this law under the nameof CEQA Works. These groups andindividuals are joining forces to show a united front of Californianscommitted to keeping CEQA strong.

Sacramento legislators are review-ing the 28 bills introduced this yearfor the reform of CEQA, the CaliforniaEnvironmental Quality Act. Hearingsbegan April 1, at the Assembly NaturalResources Committee.

Pressure is building to make majorreforms that would undermine thebasic protections of this law; after achipping away at the law for manyyears, we fear 2013 may be the yearwhere the core values of CEQA—community empowerment, informeddecision-making and environmentaloutcomes—are truly at risk. Much isat stake for California: for our work-ing families, for our public health, forthe natural resources and beautifulplaces we cherish.

Whatever changes the legislaturemay make to CEQA, we must work tomaintain its core principles:

• Transparency.

• Required mitigation to protectpublic health and naturalresources.

• Comprehensive protection tocover holes in the existing

environmental regulatorystructure.

• Meaningful public participation.

• Community enforcement ofenvironmental laws through thecourt system.

What can you do to help?

CEQA Works continues to collect letters and narratives about howCEQA really does work to make sureprojects are sound. Do you have astory to tell about how a specificproject in your community was mitigated to bring protection to animportant cultural resource that otherwise would have been harmed?Stories can be submitted to CEQAWorks (visit http://ceqaworks.org).Please copy the stories to Carol Pooleat California Preservation Foundation(cpf.cpoole@google.com).

That said, some of the bills are for positive change and need support.The Planning and ConservationLeague (PCL) is organizing and recommending support of these:

AB 380 (Dickinson) This billwould require all public notices filedduring the California EnvironmentalQuality Act (“CEQA”) review processbe posted electronically at the Gover-nor’s Office of Planning and Research(“OPR”) CEQAnet website, well aspublicly with the county clerk-recorder’s office in the county inwhich the project is occurring.

AB 543 (Campos) This bill wouldrequire a lead agency to translate any notice, document, or executivesummary required by the act whenthe impacted community has a

substantial number of non-English-speaking people.

AB 953 (Ammiano) This billwould require the lead agency toinclude in the EIR a detailed state-ment on any significant effects that may result from locating theproposed project near, or attractingpeople to, existing or reasonablyforeseeable natural hazards oradverse environmental conditions.

SB 617 (Evans) has four compo-nents: it clarifies that project reviewsmust examine the impacts of thephysical environment on the project,(in response to Ballona WetlandsTrust et al vs. The City of Los Angeles);it mandates that notices during theenvironmental review process beposted concurrently online with theOffice of Planning & Research (OPR)and at the county recorder’s office inthe affected county; it provides thatelectronic records of proceedings be posted concurrently with theirpreparation beginning with the initialfiling; and it removes several datedprovisions from the Act.

SB 754 (Evans) This bill as introduced contains no substantiveprovisions. It will be amended toinclude 6 provisions: requiring trans-lation of initial notices and executivesummaries in certain circumstances,providing clear procedures forenforcement of mitigation measures,clarifying that the baseline fromwhich to assess environmental impactscannot be based on unpermittedactivity, prohibiting a project applicantfrom overseeing or directing prepara-tion of its environmental reviewdocuments, limiting an agency’s

What happens when a historic build-ing isn’t able to receive funding? Isthere a time and place to implementa plan to protect historical buildingsand neighborhoods, rehabilitatingthem for use by future generations?Or do buildings sit dormant and forgotten, their pasts unappreciatedand eventually torn down?

In 1945, the State of Californiaimplemented the California Commu-nity Redevelopment Act (CRA) toensure that didn’t happen. The CRA permitted local governments tocreate redevelopment agencies toprovide funding and structure forplans surrounding the redevelopmentof buildings and neighborhoods, in-

cluding historic sites and communitiesplagued by blight and degradation.Then, in 1952 the California Com-munity Redevelopment Law waspassed to route property tax incre-ments directly to RedevelopmentAgencies (RDAs) to make projectsself-supporting and relieve taxpayersof redevelopment costs.

With these agencies in place, the State of California had a way tofund and fight for the projects thatdesperately needed improvements.The 425 RDAs in California helpedwith low-income housing projects,rehabilitation and reuse, as well aspreserving historic buildings with no other chance for survival.

However, not all energy was positive for RDAs. The sentiment of redevelopment projects over thepast few decades had been mixed:although RDAs did a lot of good in some areas, at times it was nothelpful in preserving what it said it would, taking out beautiful historic buildings all for the name of redevelopment.

In 2011, Governor Jerry Brownwas looking for ways to help closethe State’s budget deficit, and sug-gested shutting down RDA’s to returnthe $1.7 billion from redevelopmentfunds to the State in other areas. In2012 that vision became a reality,leaving cities to fend for themselveson redevelopment projects.

Now, the impact the loss of RDAs has had on local governmentsis coming into focus.

“The pool of money for projects,whether preservation related or not,isn’t there,” says Brian Grayson,

Interim Executive Director for thePreservation Action Council of SanJose. “But the potential impact isn’tcompletely known in terms of proj-ects that might’ve been completedwith redevelopment funds down theline. Now the Planning Department isdoing the best they can, more or less,on their own time to cover preserva-tion issues, but certainly not at thelevel of the redevelopment agency.”

San Jose had the second-largestRDA after Los Angeles and beforeSan Diego. Many of San Jose’s proj-ects were for restoration, affordablehousing, and saving historic buildings,including the San Jose Theater,which was slated for demolition buteventually fought for, saved, andrestored with redevelopment funds.

In the City of Anaheim, it’s a different story. The RedevelopmentAgency in Anaheim funded historicpreservation for the city for the lastcouple decades. That funding in conjunction with a very committedcommunity resulted in a focusedpreservation plan for the city as well as the city’s original historicneighborhood, the Colony District.Although redevelopment agencieshave been dissolved, communitiesworking on existing projects wereallowed to complete them with allocated redevelopment funds. Currently, Anaheim is completing therestoration and reuse of the CitrusPacking House, the last completedrestoration project for the city.

“A lot of our work involved identifying, buying, moving and preserving the best specimens ofarchitectural significance in the city

of Anaheim—mostly residential properties and neighborhood blocks,”says John Woodhead, CommunityDevelopment Director for the City ofAnaheim. “Redevelopment over thedecades has been the only significantfunding source for this kind of activ-ity. The Redevelopment agency madeit possible to save over fifty historicresidential properties and five NationalRegister commercial buildings.”

In addition, Anaheim has the MillsAct in place, with over 230 propertiesunder Mills Act contracts. The MillsAct allows qualifying owners toreceive a property tax reduction. The legislation grants participatinglocal government authorities to enterinto contracts with owners of quali-fied historic properties that activelyparticipate in the restoration andmaintenance of them.

“In Anaheim, we require that the properties undergo a completehistoric survey and that they berestored to historic preservation stan-dards before receiving the Mills Actcontract,” says Woodhead. “Preserva-tion plans are currently beingadministered with a very light touch

by our Community Services Depart-ment, Parks and Recreation, and asmall amount of time from the Plan-ning Department to continue to seethese contracts are maintained andinspected on a regular basis.”

But for many, there is no light atthe end of the redevelopment tunnel.

“Redevelopment projects aretotally gone, and I can’t see the citybeing able to continue to fund theimplementation of preservation plans,”says Jim Wilson, Preservation Archi-tect for Thirtieth Street Architects.“Anaheim is a special situation, witha 1.8 square-mile historic district. The Redevelopment Agency supportedthe preservation and the city continuesto do so as well. However, I don’t see the city continuing to fund therehabilitation of historic structures as the redevelopment agency did. Itwill all be on the private side.”

Although Anaheim has a largecommunity with preservation nearand dear to their hearts, many citiesaren’t that way. With the loss ofredevelopment also came lost jobs,projects, and ultimately belovedbuildings that create the personality

of a community. It’s a complex, complicated issue that there seems to be no definitive answer for.

Cassandra Walker, City of Napa'sformer Community DevelopmentDirector, says it’s an emotional issuefor her.

“From my perspective, it was astupid thing the state did—grab abunch of money tied up in projectsthat are the most blight, that can’t be resold or redeveloped,” she says.“When there were redevelopmentfunds available, there was a revenuesource that could be targeted thatcould preserve or restore a lot ofadaptive reuse, historic buildings.Now there is no substitute for thatand a lot of properties will situntouched.”

Walker is unsure of the future for historic properties.

“People are in limbo, not particu-larly cities, but owners of propertiesand how they’re going to move forward with projects,” she says. “It’s emotionally frustrating. Every-one’s going through the aftermath of dissolution and not knowing what to do.”

While the loss of RDAs is fright-ening to many cities with historicalbuildings or big redevelopment projects unfinished, the impact is real and leaving many people unsureof what will happen next.

“I think in some ways it’s toosoon to really know for sure what the impact will be,” says Grayson,“and for [San Jose] it was mixedemotions—good things and badthings, with which we will eventuallysee the outcome.”

When you drink water, consider the source.

—Chinese Proverb

The Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta,the largest estuary on the West Coastof the Americas, is rich with resourcesof vast importance locally, statewide,nationally, and internationally.Tucked between Northern California’surban population centers of SanFrancisco Bay Area, Sacramento, andStockton, the Delta serves as the confluence of five rivers, draining40% of California. The Delta is thehub of the State’s water supply, aglobal food supplier, habitat for hundreds of plant and animal species,and a popular location for water-based recreation. Despite itssignificance, the Delta remains anunknown region to many.

In 2009, the California State Legislature passed a comprehensivepackage reforming governance of theDelta, which included a charge forthe Delta Protection Commission(DPC) to develop a feasibility studyfor a Delta National Heritage Area(NHA). The DPC completed this studyin 2012 with a process that incorpo-rated stakeholder participationthroughout its entirety. Additionally,in 2013 Senator Dianne Feinstein and Congressman John Garamendiintroduced bills to establish the Delta NHA. If this legislation passes,the Delta will become the first NHAin California.

NHAs are places where natural,cultural, and historic resources combine to form cohesive, nationallyimportant landscapes. While NationalPark Service (NPS) provides technical,planning, and limited financial assis-tance, NHAs are not NPS units, butrather grassroots, community-drivenapproaches to heritage conservationand economic devlopment. The goalsof the Delta NHA include public education, heritage tourism, historicpreservation, and public access. Aspart of the Delta NHA participatorystudy process, five themes weredeveloped which highlight the Delta’snational significance:

• At the heart of California liesAmerica’s inland delta.

• Conversion of the Delta frommarshland to farmland was one of the largest reclamation projectsin the United States.

• Multicultural contributions andexperiences have shaped theDelta’s rural landscape.

• The Delta, California’s cornucopia,is amongst the most fertileagricultural regions in the world.

• The Delta lies at the center of California’s water resourcechallenges.

The DPC is continuing to developpartnerships with local organizationsto undertake projects to preserve,enhance, and restore heritageresources of the Delta, centeredaround these five themes in order tomeet the NHA goals. DPC staff lookforward to continued collaborationswith the preservation community toensure that the vision of a Delta NHAbecomes a reality. For more informa-tion, please see www.delta.ca.gov.
