Page 8 qualified paleontologist. Should significant paleontological resources (e.g., bones, teeth, well-preserved plant elements) be unearthed by a future project construction crew, project activities shall be diverted at least 15 feet from the discovered paleontological resources until a professional paleontologist has assessed such discovered resources to determine whether they are significant and significant resources shall be salvaged in a timely manner. The applicant/owner/sponsor of said project shall be responsible for diverting project work and providing the assessment including retaining a professional paleontologist for such purpose. Collected fossils shall be deposited by the applicant/owner/sponsor in an appropriate repository where the collection shall be properly curated and made available for future research (e.g., University of California Museum of Paleontology (UCMP), California Academy of Sciences).  MM NOI-1: Prior to issuance for building permits for a project, for any development project on potential sites for housing that would include any noise producing mechanical systems located within 25 feet of a property line, the project applicant shall retain a Noise Specialist to conduct a site-specific project-level noise analysis to evaluate compliance with Section 9.04.030 of the Municipal Code, which prohibits noise levels in excess of 60 A-weighted decibel (dBA) at any point outside the property plane, as defined in Section 9.04.020 of the Municipal Code as “a vertical plane including the property line which determines the property boundaries in space”. If the analysis identifies that proposed mechanical system operations could result in an exceedance of this noise performance standard, then specific measures to attenuate the noise impact shall be outlined in the analysis. The analysis shall be submitted to the City’s Building & Safety Division for review and approval prior to issuance of building permits. The final noise-reduction measures shall be included on all final construction and building documents and/or construction management plans and submitted for verification to the City. Specific measures may include, but are not limited to, the following measures or design features: o The project applicant shall utilize quieter mechanical systems that would not result in an exceedance of the City’s operational noise standards. o The project applicant shall enclose mechanical systems in a sound- attenuating structure or shall install sound barriers adjacent to the proposed system that would reduce operational noise levels to not exceed the City’s noise performance standards as measured at the property line. o The project application shall relocate the proposed mechanical system further from property line to reduce operational noise levels to not exceed the City’s noise performance standards as measured at the property line.  MM NOI-2: Construction Vibration Reduction Plan For any future development projects that would use pile-driving within 200 feet of an off-site structure, prior to the issuance of grading permits for a project, the project sponsor shall retain a Noise Specialist to prepare a Construction Vibration Reduction Plan for submittal to the City’s Planning Director for review and approval that identifies specific techniques, such as the depth and location of temporary trenching, that would reduce potential vibration impacts to less than significant for any impacted structures. Upon approval by the City, the construction vibration reduction measures shall be incorporated into the construction documents. A note shall be provided on grading and building plans indicating that, during grading and construction, the property owner/developer shall be responsible for requiring contractors, to be monitored via on-site inspection by the Community Development Docusign Envelope ID: DD265359-AEA1-4A7A-A8D3-92788E5DBFC8
