required in or incorporated into the Project, will reduce the significant <br />environmental impact to a less than significant level. <br />Facts in Support of Finding: The following facts and mitigation measures indicate <br />that the impact will be reduced to less than significant. <br />1.Subsurface ground-disturbing activities of the proposed <br />project could have a significant impact on previously unknown unique <br />paleontological resources in the Planning Area. <br />2.Implementation of Mitigation Measure 4.D-3 set forth in <br />Table 6-1 of the Final SEIR and listed in the MMRP will ensure that Impact 4.D-3 <br />would be reduced to a less than significant level and is hereby incorporated by <br />reference and described below: <br />4.D-3: In the event that paleontological resources are encountered during the <br />course of development, all construction activity must temporarily cease in the <br />affected area(s) until the uncovered fossils are properly assessed by a qualified <br />paleontologist and subsequent recommendations for appropriate documentation <br />and conservation are evaluated by the Lead Agency. Excavation or disturbance <br />may continue in other areas of the site that are not reasonably suspected to <br />overlie adjacent or additional paleontological resources. <br />Site(s) affected: All <br />Draft SEIR, p. 4.D-18.) <br />Impact 4.D-4 <br />Development facilitated by the General Plan Amendment and rezonings has the <br />potential to disturb human remains, including those interred outside of formal cemeteries. <br />The SEIR evaluates the impacts of the proposed project related to the <br />disturbance of human remains, including those interred outside of formal cemeteries. <br />Significance Before Mitigation: Significant <br />Significance After Mitigation: Less than Significant <br />Finding: Changes or alterations have been required in or incorporated into the <br />Project that would avoid or substantially lessen the significant environmental <br />effect as identified in the SEIR. Mitigation Measure 4.D-4, which has been <br />required in or incorporated into the Project, will reduce the significant <br />environmental impact to a less than significant level. <br />Facts in Support of Finding: The following facts and mitigation measures indicate <br />that the impact will be reduced to less than significant. <br />1.Subsurface ground-disturbing activities of the proposed <br />project could inadvertently disturb previously unknown human remains.
