ARROYO LAGO RESIDENTIAL PROJECT ADDENDUM 96 FCS Https://adecinnovations.sharepoint.com/sites/PublicationsSite/Shared Documents/Publications/Client (PN-JN)/2148/21480036/Addendum/21480036 Arroyo Lago Residential Project Addendum.docx still apply. However, because the proposed project would reduce the overall scope and nature of off- site improvements compared to the County Project, the area where archaeological resources could be affected would be reduced compared to the County Project. While mitigation for inadvertent discovery would still be required, the overall potential for impact would be lower than the County Project although the impact conclusion (less than significant with mitigation) would be the same. As such, the proposed project would require the implementation of MM CUL-2a and MM CUL-2b to reduce potential impacts to archaeological resources that may be discovered during project construction. Fulfillment of these mitigation measures would likewise comply with Program 5.3 of the City’s General Plan Conservation and Open Space Element, which requires imposition of a COA to require cessation of all construction and grading activities within the vicinity of any discovered prehistoric or historic artifacts, or other indications of cultural resources, until any such find is evaluated by a qualified professional Archaeologist, and appropriate mitigation is approved by the City. With the implementation of MM CUL-2a and MM CUL-2b, impacts related to archaeological resources would be less than significant, consistent with the impact conclusions of the Prior FEIR. Therefore, the proposed project would not introduce new significant impacts or create substantially more severe significant impacts than those previously identified in the Prior FEIR. No additional analysis is required. c) Human Remains Would the project: Disturb any human remains, including those interred outside of formal cemeteries? Prior FEIR Conclusions The Prior FEIR acknowledged that, while no formal cemeteries or areas containing human remains are known to be in the project vicinity, the possibility always exists that construction-related ground disturbance may uncover previously undiscovered human remains. In the unlikely event such a discovery is made, CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.5, Health and Safety Code Section 7050.5, and Public Resources Code Sections 5097.94 and Section 5097.98 must be followed. MM CUL-3 outlines procedures in accordance with Public Resources Code Section 5097.98, including contacting the County Coroner and, if remains are determined to be Native American, notifying the NAHC. The Most Likely Descendant (MLD) would be consulted regarding appropriate treatment pursuant to the identified mitigation and applicable State law. Therefore, the Prior FEIR concluded that impacts would be less than significant with mitigation incorporated. (Draft EIR, pp. 3.4-26, 6-14). Proposed Project Analysis and Conclusion Similar to the analysis of the County Project, no formal cemeteries or areas containing human remains are known to be in the project vicinity. However, CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.5, Health and Safety Code Section 7050.5, and Public Resources Code Sections 5097.94 and 5097.98 would still be followed under the proposed project. In addition to compliance with applicable laws and regulations, implementation of MM CUL-3 would still be required and would reduce potential impacts to previously undiscovered human remains to a less than significant level, consistent with the impact conclusion in the Prior FEIR. Therefore, the proposed project would not introduce new significant
