Dear Mr. Peveto:

The above referenced properties included in the Alazan Lofts Project, San Antonio, TX, are located inside the original 36-Square Mile Survey area, and have been surveyed by the Office of Historic Preservation.

There is only one standing structure included in the request for review, 1021 El Paso Street. OHP staff reviewed a request to demolish the structure at that address and approved the request by Certificate of Appropriateness on October 23, 2019. All other parcels are vacant.

The properties are not eligible for individual historic designation.

Please make the following changes to the report prior to submitting the final.

Regulatory Comments:

1. Curation (or in this case, the alternative to curation) should be addressed in the abstract and body of the report (introduction and in a separate section towards the end).

2. Introduction should include discussion of COSA’s oversight on this project due to the UDC. 3. As per CTA reporting guidelines (3.4), the results section should include a discussion/quantification

of artifacts encountered during the fieldwork. 4. A report-only curation plan for a negative-survey must include reproductions of all the materials you

would normally curate with a facility (scanned field notes, shovel test logs, photographs, photologs, etc.) as an appendix in your report. Please also be aware some curatorial facilities have existing requirements for no-find survey curation in reports. Please check with your proposed repository to ensure you prepare your materials for curation as an appendix to those requirements.

Editorial Comments:

1. Section 4.2 repeatedly misuses the term ‘historic’, please correct. 2. Section 6.1 is titled ‘Pedestrian Survey’ but only describes shovel testing, please correct. 3. Appendix 7 Photo 7 is missing the direction in which the photograph was taken. 4. Please confirm Photo 26 is not actually missing from Appendix B (appeared to be missing during

review). 5. Multiple typographical errors were noted throughout, so please perform an additional copy edit of

the entire document.

Colorado), San Antonio, Texas Dear Mr. Celestine, The City of San Antonio is considering funding the project listed above with federal funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Under HUD regulation 24 CFR 58.4, the City of San Antonio has assumed HUD’s environmental review responsibilities for the project, including tribal consultation related to historic properties. Historic properties include archeological sites, burial grounds, sacred landscapes or features, ceremonial areas, traditional cultural places and landscapes, plant and animal communities, and buildings and structures with significant tribal association. The City of San Antonio is conducting a review of this project to comply with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act and its implementing regulations 36 CFR Part 800. The City would respectfully invite the tribe to be a consulting party in this review to help identify historic properties in the project area that may have religious and cultural significance to the tribe, and if such properties exist, to help assess how the project might affect them. If the project might have an adverse effect, we would like to discuss possible ways to avoid, minimize or mitigate potential adverse effects. If the tribe would like to be a consulting party on this project, to meet project timeframes, please let us know of the tribe’s interest within 30 days. If there are initial concerns with impacts of the project on religious or cultural properties, please note them in your response. The project consists of the following scope of work: constructing an 88‐unit multifamily rental housing development, consisting of two buildings. The development will include one four story building with 70 units and the other will be three stories and include 18 units, as well as a fitness center, activity room, community kitchen, business center, and associated parking areas. Up to ten percent of the units will be rented at the going market rate, and the remainder will include either public housing or the monthly rate will be capped at 60 percent or less of the area median income. The HOME Investment Partnership Program provides funds for the construction of affordable housing, increasing the availability of affordable housing in cities and states where a deficit exists. Enclosed are maps that show the project area. In preparation of this project, an archaeological survey, including a 100‐percent systematic and intensive pedestrian survey and mechanical prospection, was conducted the week of February 10, 2020.

HUD’s process for tribal consultation under Section 106 is described in HUD Notice CPD‐12‐006. HUD Notice CPD‐12‐006 can be viewed at this web address: http://portal.hud.gov/hudportal/documents/huddoc?id=env_notice_tribe_con.pdf For more information on the Section 106 review process the following link is available: https://www.onecpd.info/resource/2813/historic‐preservation‐basics/ If the tribe does not wish to consult on this project, please feel free to contact my office via email at [email protected] or by letter. If the tribe does wish to consult, the City respectfully requests a written response including the name and contact information for the tribe’s principal representative for the consultation. The City of San Antonio values the tribe’s assistance and looks forward to consulting further if there are historic properties of religious and cultural significance that may be affected by this project.

Project Description



February 18, 2020 Bob Komardley, Chairman Apache Tribe of Oklahoma PO Box 1330 Anadarko, OK 73005 Re: Alazan Lofts (multiple addresses on 18 tracts of land along El Paso, Torreon and S. Colorado), San Antonio, Texas Dear Mr. Komardley, The City of San Antonio is considering funding the project listed above with federal funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Under HUD regulation 24 CFR 58.4, the City of San Antonio has assumed HUD’s environmental review responsibilities for the project, including tribal consultation related to historic properties. Historic properties include archeological sites, burial grounds, sacred landscapes or features, ceremonial areas, traditional cultural places and landscapes, plant and animal communities, and buildings and structures with significant tribal association. The City of San Antonio is conducting a review of this project to comply with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act and its implementing regulations 36 CFR Part 800. The City would respectfully invite the tribe to be a consulting party in this review to help identify historic properties in the project area that may have religious and cultural significance to the tribe, and if such properties exist, to help assess how the project might affect them. If the project might have an adverse effect, we would like to discuss possible ways to avoid, minimize or mitigate potential adverse effects. If the tribe would like to be a consulting party on this project, to meet project timeframes, please let us know of the tribe’s interest within 30 days. If there are initial concerns with impacts of the project on religious or cultural properties, please note them in your response. The project consists of the following scope of work: constructing an 88‐unit multifamily rental housing development, consisting of two buildings. The development will include one four story building with 70 units and the other will be three stories and include 18 units, as well as a fitness center, activity room, community kitchen, business center, and associated parking areas. Up to ten percent of the units will be rented at the going market rate, and the remainder will include either public housing or the monthly rate will be capped at 60 percent or less of the area median income. The HOME Investment Partnership Program provides funds for the construction of affordable housing, increasing the availability of affordable housing in cities and states where a deficit exists. Enclosed are maps that show the project area. In preparation of this project, an archaeological survey, including a 100‐percent systematic and intensive pedestrian survey and mechanical prospection, was conducted the week of February 10, 2020.
