PRZ-59/1623 Cindy Way The City of Pleasanton designates trees over 55 inches in circumference or more or than 35 feet in height as heritage trees subject to regulations governing their removal in the Pleasanton Municipal Code, Chapter 17.16: Tree Preservation. HortScience, Inc. surveyed the trees. Two heritage size trees, both are in good health, will be retained. The trees along the Arroyo Del Valle will be retained. Other trees and their condition would be analyzed with the future development application. Therefore, this would be a Less-than-Significant Impact. f.) There is no adopted Habitat Conservation Plan, Natural Community Conservation Plan or other approved local, regional or state habitat conservation plan and this is not applicable to this project. Therefore, this would be a No Impact. 5. CULTURAL RESOURCES Less Than Potentially Significant with Less Than No Significant Mitigation Significant Impact Impact Incorporation Impact Would the project: a)Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a X historical resource as defined in§15064.5? b)Cause a substantial adverse change a the significance of X an archaeological resource pursuant to 515064.5? c) Directly or indirectly destroy a unique paleontological X resource or site or unique geologic feature? d)Disturb any human remains,includ ng those interred X outside of formal cemeteries? Environmental Setting The subject site abuts the Arroyo Del Valle on the north. Significance Criteria The impact questions above constitute the significance criteria for this environmental topic. The text below further explains and defines the significance criteria for impact question b). CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.5(c) applies to effects on archaeological sites. Effects on non-unique archaeological resources are not considered significant. Regarding unique archaeological resources, lead agencies may require that reasonable efforts be made to allow such resources to be preserved in place or left in an undisturbed state. 'I'o the extent that unique archaeological resources are not preserved in place or left undisturbed, Public Resources Code Section 21083.2 requires mitigation measures to protect such resources. Additionally, mitigation measures may be imposed to provide for archaeological sites discovered during construction. Generally, imposing mitigation measures would reduce archeological resource effects to a less-than-significant level. Discussion of Checklist Items a.-d.): There are no known archaeological or historical sites identified on the subject site. There could be previously undiscovered subsurface resources present. Should subsurface resources be found upon 9 7/8/2011
