However, it was determined that some sites, such as Sites 6, 7, 8, and 18, have been only minimally disturbed and may contain unknown archaeological resources. However, Site 3 has been developed and disturbed. The Prior EIR found that current federal, State, and local laws address potential impacts to the archaeological resources that are discovered during implementation of the Housing Element. The City requires a standard condition of approval for projects requiring Planning Department approval that would require all construction to stop if cultural resources were uncovered during excavation. Therefore, impacts 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 the pedestrian survey. As mentioned, results from the NWIC records search indicated that there are no archaeological resources within the project site or the 0.5-mile search radius, in addition the pedestrian survey failed to identify any historic and/or archaeological resources. The project site is currently developed as a parking lot. While there are no known archaeological resources within or around the project site, there is always a possibility that ground-disturbing activities could result in inadvertent discovery of unrecorded archaeological resources. The proposed project would be required to follow the City’s standard condition of approval that all construction shall stop if cultural resources are uncovered during excavation. In this case, procedures for inadvertent discovery under federal, State, and local laws. 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. c) Disturbance of Human Remains Prior EIR Conclusions The Prior EIR found that Site 7 contains a Native American burial ground. However, the Prior EIR found that there was no indication in the archaeological record that any other potential sites for rezoning, including Site 3 have been used for human burial purposes in the recent or distant past. It was determined that, in the unlikely event that human remains are discovered during project construction, human remains could be inadvertently disturbed, which could be a significant impact. However, the City requires a standard condition of approval that would require all construction to stop in the event that human remains were uncovered during excavation. The Prior EIR also contains MM 4.D-4 if human remains are discovered during grading and construction. The Prior EIR concluded that there would be a less than significant impact. Analysis of Proposed Project Results from the records search failed to identify any human remains or cemeteries within the project boundaries. In addition, the pedestrian survey failed to identify any human remains or cemeteries. There is always the possibility that ground-disturbing activities during construction may uncover previously unknown, buried human remains. Should this occur, the proposed project would be required to follow the City’s standard condition of approval that would require all construction to
