ITEM 23 ATTACHMENT 1 - CEQA Checklist

City of Pleasanton—Merritt Property Project Consistency Checklist 15183 Consistency Checklist 110 recommended by the qualified paleontologist. Should significant paleontological resources (e.g., bones, teeth, well-preserved plant elements) be unearthed by a future project construction crew, project activities shall be diverted at least 15 feet from the discovered paleontological resources until a professional paleontologist has assessed such discovered resources to determine whether they are significant and significant resources shall be salvaged in a timely manner. The applicant/owner/sponsor of said project shall be responsible for diverting project work and providing the assessment including retaining a professional paleontologist for such purpose. Collected fossils shall be deposited by the applicant/owner/sponsor in an appropriate repository where the collection shall be properly curated and made available for future research (e.g., University of California Museum of Paleontology (UCMP) California Academy of Sciences). Mitigation Measures for the Proposed Project Implement MM GEO-6. Applicable General Plan Policies General Plan Program 2.2 Design and construct all structures to address potential seismic and geologic hazard conditions according to the California Building Standards Code (CBC) standards or more stringent standards. All structures and facilities not addressed by the CBC shall be designed and constructed to mitigate potential seismic and geologic hazards as recommended by site-specific soils, geologic, and/or geotechnical engineering studies. General Plan Program 2.2 has been partially satisfied via preparation of the project-specific analysis prepared for the proposed project. In accordance with the analysis and to demonstrate full compliance with General Plan Program 2.2, the proposed project is required to comply with the recommendations included in the Geotechnical Investigation.
