City of Pleasanton—Hidden Canyon Residences and Preserve Project CEQA Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations FirstCarbon Solutions 33 Https://adecinnovations.sharepoint.com/sites/PublicationsSite/Shared Documents/Publications/Client (PN-JN)/2148/21480016/FOF/21480016 Pleasanton Hidden Canyon Residences and Preserve Project FOF.docx is listed or eligible for listing in the California Register of Historical Resources, or in a local register of historical resources as defined in Public Resources Code Section 5020.1(k). Findings: Less than significant impact with mitigation incorporated. (DEIR, p. 3.4-28). Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the project which avoid or substantially lessen the significant environmental effects as identified in the EIR. (CEQA Guidelines § 15091(a)(1)). Mitigation Measures Implement MM CUL-2. Facts in Support of Findings: No Tribal Cultural Resources (TCRs) were identified within the California Register of Historical Resources (CRHR), local registers of historic resources, the Northwest Information Center (NWIC) records search results, Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) Sacred Lands File search results, or during outreach efforts with Tribal representatives. (Draft EIR, p. 3.4-28). Although the proposed project would implement the City’s standard Condition of Approval (COA) CUL-3 requiring archaeological consultation in the case of inadvertent discovery to ensure compliance with General Plan Housing Element Program 5.3, out of an abundance of caution in case subsurface construction activities uncover TCRs, the proposed project would also implement MM CUL-2. Through implementation of MM CUL-2, the proposed project would reduce impacts on listed or eligible TCRs to a less than significant level. The Lead Agency finds that MM CUL-2 is feasible, is adopted, and will further reduce impacts related to listed and eligible TCRs to a less than significant level. Accordingly, the Lead Agency finds that, pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21081(a)(1) and CEQA Guidelines Section 15091(a)(1), changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the proposed project that mitigate or avoid the potentially significant impacts as identified in the EIR. Therefore, impacts associated with listed or eligible TCRs would be less than significant with mitigation incorporated. 1.6.8 - Impact CUL-5: Lead Agency Determined Tribal Cultural Resources Impact CUL-5: The proposed project could cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a TCR, defined in Public Resources Code Section 21074 as either a site, feature, place, cultural landscape that is geographically defined in terms of the size and scope of the landscape, sacred place, or object with cultural value to a California Native American Tribe, and that is a resource determined by the lead agency, in its discretion and supported by substantial evidence, to be significant pursuant to criteria set forth in subdivision (c) of Public Resources Code Section 5024.1. Findings: Less than significant impact with mitigation incorporated. (Draft EIR, p. 3.4-29). Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the project which avoid or substantially lessen the significant environmental effects as identified in the EIR. (CEQA Guidelines § 15091(a)(1)). Mitigation Measures Implement MM CUL-2.
