Initial Study and Negative Declaration <br /> The project site is developed and is surrounded by urban development. <br /> Therefore, these would be no-impacts. <br /> i <br /> e. The applicant is proposing to remove two existing trees. Both trees are <br /> considered heritage trees according to the Pleasanton Municipal Code. <br /> However, removal of the trees would be conducted in accordance with the <br /> applicable provisions of the Municipal Code. Therefore, the proposed project <br /> would not substantially conflict with local policies or ordinances related to <br /> biological resources. Therefore, this would be a less than significant impact. <br /> f. No Habitat Conservation Plan, Natural Community Conservation Plan, or other <br /> conservation plans apply to the project site and, thus, this issue is not <br /> applicable to this project. Therefore, this would be no-impact. <br /> 5.5. CULTURAL RESOURCES <br /> ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING <br /> The project site is not located in an area identified as having site-specific <br /> archeological, paleontological, or geologic features or resources. It is possible <br /> (although unlikely) that archaeological resources could be identified on the site <br /> during ground disturbance activities. <br /> STANDARDS OF SIGNIFICANCE <br /> For purposes of this environmental document, an impact is considered significant if <br /> the proposed project would: <br /> • Cause a substantial change in the significance of a historical or <br /> archeological resource as defined in the CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.5; <br /> or, <br /> • Directly or indirectly destroy a unique paleontological resource or site or <br /> unique geologic feature. <br /> 22 <br />
