City of Pleasanton Pleasanton Climate Action Plan 2.0 82 2.0 projects would be located and designed strategically to reduce ground disturbance to the maximum extent possible. In addition, CAP 2.0 projects and actions would be reviewed for consistency with applicable local, regional, and State tribal cultural and archaeological regulations prior to final siting and construction and would be required to implement BMPs in accordance with the Pleasanton General Plan Conservation and Open Space Element Goal 4 and its associated policies and programs, including the Pleasanton Standard Specifications and Details.92,93 These policies include a standard requirement during all ground disturbing activities that if potential tribal cultural resources are unearthed, construction must be halted, the City must be contacted, and a qualified professional must be hired to investigate and make recommendations. As such, tribal cultural resources would be protected prior to and/or upon discovery and, thus, impacts would be reduced to a minimal level. Therefore, the CAP 2.0 would result in a less-than-significant impact related to tribal cultural resources. Cumulative Impacts The cumulative projects scenario is overall General Plan buildout for Pleasanton in 2025 plus Pleasanton population projections through 2045. CAP 2.0 projects, in combination with other cumulative projects anticipated under Pleasanton General Plan buildout, could increase the potential for adverse effects to unknown tribal cultural resources in Pleasanton. However, impacts to tribal cultural resources are site-specific; accordingly, as required under applicable laws and regulations, potential impacts associated with cumulative developments would be addressed on a case-by-case basis as cumulative project details and locations become known. CAP 2.0 projects and other cumulative projects would be required to comply with the Pleasanton General Plan and Pleasanton Standard Specifications and Details requirements for the halting of construction and proper treatment of any resources discovered during ground disturbance. Therefore, the CAP 2.0 would result in a less-than-significant cumulative impact related to tribal cultural resources. 92 Pleasanton, City of. 2009. General Plan Conservation and Open Space Element.
