City of Pleasanton—Vineyard Avenue Residential Project <br />Consistency Checklist 15183 Consistency Checklist <br /> <br />72 <br /> <br />Given that the proposed project would be consistent with the type of <br />development anticipated for the site by the City, buildout of the project site <br />and potential disturbance of buried prehistoric, historical, or archaeological <br />resources, which could include TCRs, has been anticipated by the City and <br />analyzed in the Housing Element Update FEIR. In addition, as previously <br />discussed, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15183(f), “An effect of a <br />project on the environment shall not be considered peculiar to the project or <br />the parcel for the purposes of this section if uniformly applied development <br />policies or standards have been previously adopted by the city or county <br />with a finding that the development policies or standards will substantially <br />mitigate that environmental effect when applied to future projects, unless <br />substantial new information shows that the policies or standards will not <br />substantially mitigate the environmental effect. […]” In the case of the <br />proposed project, compliance with General Plan policies, such as Policy 5 of <br />the Conservation and Open Space Element related to preserving cultural <br />and historic resources significant to the City because of their age, <br />appearance, or history, would help avoid impacts to TCRs. In addition, the <br />City requires a standard Condition of Approval for projects requiring Planning <br />Department approval that would require all construction activities to stop in <br />the event that TCRs were uncovered during excavation; the Condition of <br />Approval further specifies that procedures should be followed pursuant to <br />CEQA requirements. Furthermore, pursuant to the CHRIS and NAHC SLF <br />searches, known TCRs do not occur on-site or in the site vicinity. <br />Based on the above, the proposed project is not expected to adversely <br />impact TCRs. Therefore, impacts related to resulting in a substantial adverse <br />change in the significance of a TCR were adequately addressed in the <br />Housing Element Update FEIR, and the proposed project would not result in <br />any peculiar effects that would require further CEQA review related to such. <br />Conclusion <br />With regards to Cultural and Tribal Cultural Resources, the consistency <br />checklist demonstrates that: <br />1. No peculiar impacts related to the proposed project or its site have <br />been identified. <br />2. There are no potentially significant off-site and/or cumulative impacts <br />which were not discussed by the Housing Element Update FEIR.
