City of Pleasanton—Villages at the Quarry Project Consistency Checklist 15183 Consistency Checklist 100 development of the site as proposed would not result in environmental effects that are peculiar to the proposed project. The proposed project would not result in a new or more severe adverse impact that was not previously identified in the Housing Element Update FEIR. c) Burial Sites Would the project: Disturb any human remains, including those interred outside of formal cemeteries? Summary of Housing Element Update FEIR The Housing Element Update FEIR indicated that excavation and construction activities consistent with the Housing Element Update may uncover human remains that may not be marked in formal burial locations. Therefore, new development could result in a potentially significant impact on human remains, including those outside of formal cemeteries. The Housing Element Update FEIR concluded that compliance with applicable goals, policies, and programs in the General Plan, as well as compliance with applicable current State, federal and local regulations, including Public Resources Code 5097 and CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.5(d), Effects on Human Remains, and Health and Safety Code Section 7050.5, would ensure that future development consistent with the Housing Element Update would not result in significant adverse effects to human remains. Therefore, the Housing Element Update FEIR concluded that the impacts would be less than significant. Proposed Project Analysis and Conclusion Results of the records search did not identify any human remains or cemeteries within the project site or a 0.5-mile radius of the project site. In addition, the pedestrian survey failed to identify any human remains or cemeteries. However, there is always the possibility that ground-disturbing activities during construction may uncover previously unknown, buried human remains. FCS identified project-specific requirements based on the results of the record search and pedestrian survey. In compliance with General Plan Program 5.1 and 5.2, FCS determined that archaeological and TCR training for construction staff shall be required prior to the start of any ground- disturbing activities in case any resources are inadvertently discovered. Furthermore, a qualified Archaeologist shall be present to monitor during the clearing and grubbing phases of ground disturbance to check for the
