Less-than-Significant Impact.The project would not substantially degrade the quality of the environment and would not impact special-status animal or plant species.As discussed in Section 3.4, Biological Resources, the project site is located in an urban setting and is currently developed for residential uses. The project would not impact special-status species,riparian habitats or other sensitive communities, or federally protected wetlands. Section 3.5, Cultural Resources, includes mitigation measures to reduce the potential for impacts to previously undiscovered cultural resources,including prehistoric Native American remains, to a less-than-significant level if uncovered during construction activities. There are no currently known historic resources on the project site. La Palma Subdivision Project Final Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration 65
