Soil visibility across the site was essentially nonexistent, aside from landscaping elements interspersed across the site. These soils consisted of dark brown loam (Munsel 10YR 3/1) and were likely imported from off-site. Survey conditions were documented using digital photographs and field notes. During the survey, Dr. DePietro examined all areas of the exposed ground surface for prehistoric artifacts (e.g., fire-affected rock, milling tools, flaked stone tools, toolmaking debris, ceramics), soil discoloration and depressions that might indicate the presence of a cultural midden, faunal and human osteological remains, and features indicative of the former presence of structures or buildings (e.g., postholes, standing exterior walls, foundations) or historic debris (e.g., glass, metal, ceramics). No prehistoric cultural resources or raw materials commonly used in the manufacture of tools (e.g., obsidian, Franciscan chert) were observed over the course of the survey. Pedestrian photographs can be found in Appendix D. Cultural Resources a) Adverse Change in the Significance of a Historical Resource Prior EIR Conclusions The Prior EIR found that the General Plan Amendments and Rezonings could potentially affect known historic and cultural resources at Sites 6, 17, and 21. These resources could be directly adversely affected by development on the potential sites or indirectly through incompatible design. However, no historic resources were identified within or in the proximity of Site 3. Therefore, impacts related to Site 3 were determined to be less than significant. Analysis of Proposed Project The assessment from the Prior EIR remains consistent with the results from the records search and pedestrian surveys. As mentioned, results from the NWIC records search indicated that there are no historic resources within the project site. The project site is currently developed as a parking lot for adjacent commercial uses and does not contain any structures that could be evaluated as historical. The proposed project would be required to comply with current federal, State, and local laws related to historic resources. Therefore, there are no environmental effects that are peculiar to the proposed project or the parcels on which the proposed project would be located. Impacts would be less than significant and the proposed project would not result in a new or more severe adverse impact that was not previously identified in the Prior EIR. b) Adverse Change in the Significance of an Archaeological Resource Prior EIR Conclusions The Prior EIR found that portions of the City lying in the flat valley would reveal a low sensitivity for prehistoric sites, while the hills to the south and west would be expected to have a relatively high sensitivity for containing prehistoric sites. It was determined that the majority of the potential sites in the proposed Housing Element are located in the flat valley area and on parcels that have had
