01/24/2011 Exhibit B regarding laws and procedures for protecting cultural resources, (ii) that work be stopped if archaeological resources are discovered on the construction site, (iii) a qualified archaeologist be retained to evaluate the significance of discovered resources, and (iv) appropriate steps be taken to avoid, protect and preserve such resources as described in Mitigation Measure 7 -1. Impact 7 -2: Impacts of Development on Properties that Contain Historic Resources. DPP permitted future development on properties within the DPP area that contain a historic resource may cause the demolition, destruction or alteration of, or an addition to, a historic resource such that the significance of the resource is " materially impaired." The DPP identifies seven of the 47 historic resources within the DPP area as historic properties which are allowed to be altered, relocated or removed. The removal or alteration of one or more of these historic resources such that the significance of the resource is "materially impaired" would constitute a significant impact under CEQA. a) Potential Impact. The impact identified above is described and discussed on pages 7 -35 to 7 -36 of the DEIR. b) Findings. Based on the FEIR and the entire record before the City, the City Council finds that: (i) Mitigation Measures. This impact could be mitigated by Mitigation Measure 7 -2 (pages 7- 37 -7 -39 of the DEIR) because the measure requires that for any discretionary project that may have a potentially significant adverse effect on a historic resource with the DPP area the project applicant shall, to the extent feasible: (i) assure that the project adheres to either or both of the standards promulgated by the Secretary of the Interior for (a) the Treatment of Historic Properties with Guidelines for Preserving, Rehabilitating, Restoring, and Reconstructing Historic Buildings or (b) Rehabilitation and Guidelines for Rehabilitating Historic Buildings (1995), Weeks and Grimmer; (ii) if adherence to those standards is not feasible, the historic resource shall be relocated; (iii) if relocation is not feasible, the applicant shall first, document the historic resource; second, retain and reuse the historic resource; third, salvage character- defining features for reuse on -site; or fourth, interpret the historical significance of the resource through a permanent exhibit in a publicly accessible location onsite or elsewhere in the DPP area. However, given the uncertainty with respect to the condition of and circumstances surrounding the historic resources at the time future development projects are proposed, and without knowing the specific design characteristics of such future development proposal, the City cannot determine with certainty that Mitigation Measure 7 -2 would reduce the DPP's potential impacts on historic resources to a less than significant level. Therefore, this impact remains significant and unavoidable. (ii) Remaining Impacts. Because there are no feasible mitigation measures available to mitigate the significant impact identified above, this impact U:\Resolutions\2011\Reso 15086 Exhibit B.doc 20 012011 Reso. # 15086 Muff #601
