City of Pleasanton—Villages at the Quarry Project 15183 Consistency Checklist Consistency Checklist 99 that served are present within the project boundaries. The foundations are over 50 years in age and had not been previously evaluated for significance as a potential historic resource at the local, State, or national level. An FCS Senior Archaeologist recorded and assessed the remaining concrete building foundations and rail segments for potential significance. These features do not appear to meet any of the criteria for historic and/or architectural significance required for listing on the CRHR or NRHP. No pre-contact or additional historic era archaeological resources were encountered over the course of the pedestrian survey. The buried site potential of the proposed project indicated that the project site is situated on Pleistocene-Holocene deposits that have a low to moderate potential to yield unanticipated buried cultural resources. Based on the results of the NWIC records search, NAHC Sacred Lands File (SLF) search, pedestrian survey, and assessment of existing concrete foundations and rail segments, FCS considers the potential for the project to have an adverse effect on historic or pre-contact cultural resources to be moderate. The Housing Element Update FEIR concluded that compliance with applicable current federal, State, and local laws, along with the applicable regulations of the Municipal Code, would ensure that future development projects are appropriately reviewed and designed in terms of potential impacts to archaeological resources. FCS identified project-specific requirements based on the results of the records search, geological review, and pedestrian survey. In compliance with General Plan Programs 5.1 and 5.2, FCS determined that archaeological and Tribal Cultural Resources (TCR) training for construction staff shall be required prior to the start of any ground- disturbing activities. Furthermore, a qualified Archaeologist shall be present to monitor during the clearing and grubbing phases of ground disturbance to check for the inadvertent exposure of possible cultural materials. In the event exposed soils indicate cultural materials may be present, this may be followed by regular or periodic archaeological monitoring as determined by the Archaeologist, but full-time archaeological monitoring is not recommended at this time. The proposed project would also be required to follow the City’s standard condition of approval that all construction stop if cultural resources are uncovered during excavation. In this case, procedures for inadvertent discovery are required under federal, State, and local laws. Therefore, the
