7.D. - Page 43 of 126 Impact 4.5-3: Earth moving activities, particularly deep grading, associated with the construction of new development allowed under the General Plan could have the potential to destroy paleontological resources. Less than Redwood City is not known to have unique paleontological significant with resources. However, the Final EIR includes a mitigation measure mitigation to require work stoppage in the event sensitive paleontological resources are identified as a standard condition of approval on all ground- disturbing activities. Furthermore, the City shall assess individual development project proposals for the potential to destroy unique paleontological resources, and require development proposals entailing significant earthworks or deep foundations with the potential to penetrate sedimentary rock layers to incorporate a study by a professional paleontologist to assess the potential for damage of paleontological resources. Under the proposed project, this mitigation would continue to apply. Impact 4.5-4: Ground -disturbing activities associated with Less than The proposed project would not involve specific development construction of new development allowed under the General significant with activity but would increase the allowable density of development Plan could impact previously undiscovered human remains. mitigation in areas already proposed for MULW uses. Therefore, ground disturbing activities associated with development allowed under the proposed project would be substantially the same as that previously analyzed in the General Plan and General Plan Mitigation measures would apply. The General Plan includes a mitigation measures to require the contractor or onsite supervisor certify to the City that work within 50 feet of a discovery of human remains has been stopped; that the coroner has been notified; and confirmation that the applicant has required all construction crew members undergo adequate training related to identification of cultural resources. Under the proposed project, this mitigation measure would continue to apply to projects in the MULW zone. Addendum to the Final Environmental Impact Report Environmental Analysis The proposed project would result in less than significant impacts to paleontological resources. No new or more severe impacts would occur. Impacts would be within the scope of those identified in the General Plan EIR. The proposed project would result in less than significant impacts to previously undiscovered human remains. No new or more severe impacts would occur. Impacts would be within the scope of those identified in the General Plan EIR. 27 644
