City of Pleasanton—Additional Housing Sites Rezonings Project <br />Addendum CEQA Guidelines Section 15164 Addendum <br /> <br /> <br />62 <br />and the City’s standard stop-work condition in the event human remains are <br />encountered, thereby ensuring impacts would be less than significant. <br />Therefore, the proposed project would not result in a new or more severe <br />adverse impact that was not previously identified and disclosed in the Prior <br />FEIR. No further analysis is required. <br />d) Listed or Eligible Tribal Cultural Resources <br />Would the project: Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a Tribal <br />Cultural Resource, defined in Public Resources Code Section 21074 <br />as either a site, feature, place, cultural landscape that is <br />geographically defined in terms of the size and scope of the <br />landscape, sacred place, or object with cultural value to a <br />California Native American Tribe, and that is listed or eligible for <br />listing in the California Register of Historical Resources, or in a local <br />register of historical resources as defined in Public Resources Code <br />Section 5020.1(k)? <br />Summary of Prior FEIR <br />The current CEQA Guidelines Appendix G defines a Tribal Cultural Resource <br />(TCR) as a site, feature, place, cultural landscape, sacred place, or object <br />with cultural value to a California Native American Tribe that is either listed in, <br />eligible for listing in, or determined significant under the California Register or <br />local criteria. <br />The Prior FEIR predates the formal inclusion of TCRs in CEQA Guidelines <br />Appendix G; therefore, it did not include a stand-alone TCRs checklist <br />section. Instead, the Prior FEIR addressed TCRs within the broader discussion <br />of prehistoric and Native American cultural resources. The Prior FEIR found <br />that the Planning Area contains prehistoric resources associated with Native <br />American use, including villages, campsites, burial areas, and ethnographic <br />resources, many of which may remain undiscovered in subsurface contexts. <br />These resources would meet the modern definition of TCRs, where they hold <br />cultural value to tribes. <br />The Prior FEIR determined that future development under the General Plan <br />could result in ground disturbance that may affect both known and <br />previously unidentified resources associated with Native American tribes. As <br />reflected in more recent CEQA practice, such impacts are typically <br />considered potentially significant because ground disturbance could alter or <br />destroy resources that qualify as TCRs.
