(a) General requirements. The requirements of
				Section 4853(a)(1)-(4) of
				this chapter shall apply to all historical resources which are nominated to the
				California Register:
(1) The applicant shall
				use the inventory form which corresponds to the date of recordation of the
				resource. The inventory form shall be accompanied by a cover letter which
				includes the name of the applicant, the resource owner and local government
				with land-use control authority, hereafter local government, and a concise
				statement of significance. The statement of significance should clearly list
				the justification for the importance of the historical resource.
(2) A sketch map shall be included, clearly
				showing the boundaries of the nominated resources, the footprint of all
				contributing and noncontributing resources, a directional North arrow, and
				scale. Careful and accurate information shall be provided with sufficient
				detail to ensure that a legal description of the proposed historical resource
				may be recorded. These details may include the UTM coordinates marked on a
				section grid, United States Geological Survey maps, parcel number(s), and
				legally recorded boundary lines. Boundaries of sites with no material evidence
				of the significant event must be clearly defined on the map on the basis of
				specific and definitive historical documentation.
(3) One or more color slides and black and
				white or color photos shall be provided to properly document the historical
				resource. Color slides should provide a realistic overview of the historical
				resource in its setting or detailed views of the historical resource itself, as
				appropriate. The Commission may require that the applicant provide photos of
				contributing historical resources on surveys which are over five (5) years old.
				All photos should be labeled, including the date taken and a location of the
				image relative to the sketch map described above.
(4) Primary numbers will be assigned by the
				Regional Information Center. The applicant shall provide a copy of the
				application to the Information Center which has responsibility for information
				regarding historical resources for the county in which the resources are
				located (see Appendix B) at the same time the application is submitted to the
				Office. The Office of Historic Preservation will assure primary numbers are
				assigned.
