City of Pleasanton—Vineyard Avenue Residential Project Consistency Checklist 15183 Consistency Checklist 68 may have only been minimally disturbed in the past and are located outside of the valley area. The Housing Element Update FEIR further concluded that compliance with applicable current federal, State, and local laws as well as goals, policies, and programs in the General Plan and Vineyard Avenue Corridor Specific Plan, 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. Consistent with the General Plan policies and programs, individual development projects would be required to undergo project-specific environmental review, which may require additional site-specific or project- specific measures to reduce any potential impacts and ensure that impacts remain less than significant. 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 and the Vineyard Avenue Corridor Specific 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, 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 the impacts would be less than significant.
