Lastly, individual <br />development projects that propose to alter a building or structure greater <br />than 45 years of age at the time an application is deemed complete would <br />be required to undergo project-specific environmental review in compliance <br />with CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.5 to determine whether the building or <br />structure may be a historic resource, and take appropriate action such as <br />requiring additional site-specific or project-specific measures to reduce any <br />potential impacts. <br />Therefore, the Housing Element Update FEIR concluded that compliance with <br />applicable federal, State, and local laws would ensure that future <br />development consistent with the Housing Element Update would not have <br />the potential to eliminate important examples of major periods of California <br />history or prehistory or cause a substantial adverse change in the significance <br />of a designated historical resource or otherwise result in significant adverse <br />effects to historical resources and impacts would be less than significant. <br />As described in the General Plan, Conservation and Open Space Element, <br />areas of Pleasanton have been surveyed for archaeological resources, and <br />several known archaeological resource sites are located within the City. <br />According to a review of available records by the Northwest Information <br />Center (NWIC), there are several recorded and reported prehistoric and <br />historic archaeological sites in the City, and undiscovered archaeological <br />sites could also exist within the potential sites for rezoning. The Housing <br />Element Update FEIR indicated that development consistent with the Housing <br />Element Update would result in additional development throughout the City <br />and could therefore affect known archaeological resources or previously <br />unidentified or undesignated archaeological resources. <br />Based on previous cultural resources surveys, it is anticipated that the valley <br />portions of the City have a low sensitivity for prehistoric sites, except along <br />drainages. However, the hills to the west and south, especially around springs <br />and creeks, are anticipated to have a relatively high sensitivity for the <br />presence of prehistoric sites.10 Most of the potential sites for rezoning are in <br />the valley area, on parcels that have been previously disturbed with <br />development.
