plans. The survey is to be conducted by a qualified archaeologist walking the site on transects no more than 30 meters apart. The survey is to identify the extent and depth of resource sites prior to approval of final site-specific grading plans. . Known cultural resources areas are to be avoided by "capping" or, if known sites cannot be avoided or capped consistent with construction of Phase II projects, a Resources Recovery Plan shall be prepared and implemented prior to disturbing the site. . In the portions of the Phase II Specific Plan area not currently known to contain archaeological resources, a qualified archaeologist is to monitor project grading and site preparation activities. If any cultural resources are uncovered during site preparation activities, land-disturbing activities are to be discontinued within a 35-foot radius until the find can be evaluated by the monitoring archaeologist, appropriate steps have been taken to protect and/or recover the resource( s), and appropriate mitigation can be determined. . Assure the protection of cultural resources previously or newly identified by (1) providing for preservation via "capping" or (if known sites cannot be avoided), (2) developing and implementing a Resources Recovery Plan at known sites.

Soils. and Seismicity Exposure of people and property on the site to risks relating to potential geological hazards and adverse soils conditions Finding. The City finds that the following mitigation measures are feasible and have been incorporated into the Specific Plan, thereby mitigating the impact to a less-than-significant level: . Development in the Specific Plan area must conform to the Uniform Build- ing Code and other applicable state and local seismic safety regulations. . Any proposed development in the Specific Plan area must conform to the policies and programs of the Pleasanton General Plan relating to potential adverse soils conditions. The General Plan provisions include: (1) requiring site-specific soils studies for all new development prior to the issuance of building permits and prior to the approval of final improvement plans in areas of specific risks; (2) requiring technical review of such studies by a qualified consulting geotechnical engineer reporting to the City; and (3) permitting development in areas of "high" susceptibility to geologic hazards only when investigations demonstrate that mitigation is feasible through accepted engineering and construction techniques.
