Bringhurst LLC at 990 Sycamore Road Initial Study and Negative Declaration d) Disturb any human remains, including those interred outside of formal cemeteries? DISCUSSION a) The site and existing structures are not listed by the California Office of Historic Preservation as a Historical Resource.5 or defined in §15064.5 of CEQA. Additionally, there are no plans to demolish the existing house. Therefore, there would be no impact. b-d) There are no known archaeological or paleontological sites identified on the subject site. However, there could be previously undiscovered subsurface resources present. Should potential subsurface resources or human remains be found upon excavation, all work would be required to be halted and the City immediately notified. Necessary measures, such as consulting with an archaeologist, would take place prior to construction resuming. These measures are required by State law and detailed as standard conditions of approval applied to the project. As a result, the potential impact would be a less than significant. 5.6. GEOLOGY AND SOILS ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING The project site abuts Sycamore Creek Way on the north and Sycamore Road on the south. The topography of the site varies, with the northern portion of the site along Sycamore Creek Way containing three relatively distinct "stepped" areas at elevations of approximately 424 feet, 427 feet, and 432 feet. South of these stepped areas, the site slopes down with elevations ranging from approximately 436 feet to 416 feet feet. Grading would be required to create the building pads for the new homes and excavation for utilities. STANDARDS OF SIGNIFICANCE For purposes of this environmental document, an impact is considered significant if the proposed project would: • Result in a project being built that will introduce geologic, soils, or seismic hazards by allowing the construction of the project on such a site without protection against those hazards. 5 Office of Historic Preservation.
