b. PUD Condition addresses mitigation for sites which may be discovered durMg futu~ survey or monitoring activities and recommends they either be avoided or appropriately mitigated through a Resource Recovery Plan that meets appropriate professional, City and State standards. The purpose of the Plan is to guide the gatherMg of a sufficient quantity and variety of data at identified sites. The Resource Recovery Plan must be approved prior to any grading (or construction-related) activities. For those areas set aside for later investigation, no construction may occur until the investigation is completed. Should human remains or a burial site be discovered, the Propen'y Owner will consult with the City and tribal representatives to determine the appropriate disposition of findings. Compliance with PUD Condition will ensure the integrity of any, as yet, undiscovered archaeological sites either by aVoiding them, or identifying further mitigation in the Resource Recovery Plan. Documentation of the findings will ensure they are recorded and handled in accordance with established standards. 2. ~.ill!C~. Potential for future development of the Project area to disturb identified sites or resources. Me~sure M2. Assure the protection of important cultural resources during site planning and development. .~qili_qg: Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the Project which avoid or substantially lessen the significant environmental effect identified in the Final EIR to a less than significant level. Fa9~s in Su_~nort of Findim~: The impact will be avoided or reduced based on the follOwing: a. Grading and construction-related activities could have a potentially adverse effect on the two known prehistoric sites. One of the two sites (located on Parcel 25) is designated open space which, the FEIR points out, is compatible withpreservation of cultural resources. For this site, "capping" is an effective mitigation strategy because the site will remain undisturbed. b. The PUD includes Cultural Resources policies that require known cultural resources to be protected by avoidance or "capping"; preparation of a Resources Recovery Plan for sites that will be disturbed; an intensive cultural resource survey to identify the extent and depth of known cultural resource sites; avoidance of resources near the Bernal bridge by designating the site as a neighborhood park; and "capping" the resources in the southeast quadrant of the 1-6g0/Bernal interchange. 39
