Should significant paleontological resources (e.g., bones, <br />teeth, well-preserved plant elements) be unearthed by a future project <br />construction crew, project activities shall be diverted at least 15 feet from <br />the discovered paleontological resources until a professional <br />paleontologist has assessed such discovered resources and, if deemed <br />significant, such resources shall be salvaged in a timely manner. The <br />applicant/owner/sponsor of said project shall be responsible for diverting <br />project work and providing the assessment including retaining a <br />professional paleontologist for such purpose. Collected fossils shall be <br />deposited by the applicant/owner/sponsor in an appropriate repository <br />(e.g., University of California Museum of Paleontology (UCMP), California <br />Academy of Sciences) where the collection shall be properly curated and <br />made available for future research. <br />Less than significant impact with <br />mitigation incorporated. <br />Section 3.7—Greenhouse Gas Emissions <br />Impact GHG-1: Development facilitated by the Housing <br />Element Update, rezonings, and General Plan and Specific <br />Plan Amendments would not generate greenhouse gas <br />emissions, either directly or indirectly, that may have a <br />significant impact on the environment. <br />No mitigation is necessary. Less than significant impact. <br />Impact GHG-2: Development facilitated by the Housing <br />Element Update, rezonings, and General Plan and Specific <br />Plan Amendments would not conflict with any applicable <br />plan, policy or regulation of an agency adopted for the <br />purpose of reducing the emissions of greenhouse gases. <br />No mitigation is necessary. Less than significant impact.
