City of Pleasanton—Vineyard Avenue Residential Project <br />15183 Consistency Checklist Consistency Checklist <br /> <br />91 <br /> <br />Conclusion <br />With regards to Geology, Seismicity and Soils, the consistency checklist <br />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. <br />3. No substantial new information has been identified which results in an <br />impact which is more severe than anticipated by the Housing Element <br />Update FEIR. <br />4. No mitigation measures from the Housing Element Update FEIR would <br />be required because the proposed project’s specific impacts would be <br />less than significant. <br /> <br />Mitigation Measures <br />Housing Element Update FEIR Mitigation Measures <br />MM GEO-6 Paleontological Resource Survey Measure <br />A professional paleontologist, approved by the City of <br />Pleasanton, shall conduct a site-specific paleontological <br />resources survey on the potential sites for rezoning. If any of the <br />potential sites for rezoning are found to be underlain by older <br />Quaternary deposits, or any other soil with the potential to <br />contain vertebrate fossils due to their high paleontological <br />sensitivity for significant resources, applicants, owners and/or <br />sponsors of all future development or construction projects shall <br />be required to perform or provide paleontological monitoring, if <br />recommended by the qualified paleontologist. Should significant <br />paleontological resources (e.g., bones, teeth, well-preserved <br />plant elements) be unearthed by a future project construction <br />crew, project activities shall be diverted at least 15 feet from the <br />discovered paleontological resources until a professional <br />paleontologist has assessed such discovered resources and, if <br />deemed significant, such resources shall be salvaged in a timely <br />manner. The applicant/owner/sponsor of said project shall be <br />responsible for diverting project work and providing the <br />assessment including retaining a professional paleontologist for
