ATTY/RESO.0034/PC RESO RECOMMENDING CEQA APPROVAL – 505 E. BAYSHORE – EXHIBIT B REV: 05-12-23 JB Page 21 of 22 Conditions of Approval 505 East Bayshore Road Project (SCH #2021080447) Aesthetics • General Plan EIR Mitigation Measure 4.1-5: All new development and redevelopment shall be in compliance with Title 24 Lighting Zone (LZ-3) requirements and submit lighting and photometric site plans for City review and approval prior to issuance of individual building permits. Cultural Resources • General Plan EIR Mitigation Measure 4.5-1b: Prior to the issuance of grading permits, the project applicant is responsible for ensuring all construction crews undergo adequate training for the identification of federal or state-eligible cultural resources, and that the construction crews are aware of the potential for previously undiscovered archaeological resources, of the laws protecting these resources and associated penalties, and of the procedures to follow should they discover cultural resources during project-related work. • General Plan EIR Mitigation Measure 4.5-1a: If deposits of prehistoric or historic archeological materials are encountered during project construction activities, all work within an appropriate buffer area (no less than 50 feet) around the discovery shall be stopped and a qualified archeologist meeting federal criteria under 36 CFR 61 shall be contacted to assess the deposit(s) and make recommendations. If the deposits are recommended to be non- significant by a qualified archeologist, avoidance is not necessary. If the deposits are determined to be potentially significant by the qualified archeologist, the resources shall be avoided. If avoidance is not feasible, project impacts shall be mitigated in accordance with the recommendations of the qualified archaeologist, in coordination with the City Planning, Housing, and Economic Development Department and CEQA Guidelines Section 15126.4 (b)(3)(C), which requires implementation of a data recovery plan. The data recovery plan shall be prepared and implemented by a qualified archaeologist. The data recovery plan shall include provisions for adequately recovering all scientifically consequential information from and about any discovered archeological materials and include recommendations for the treatment of these resources. In-place preservation of the archeological resource is the preferred manner of mitigating potential impacts, as it maintains the relationship between the resource and the archeological context. In-place preservation also reduces the potential for conflicts with the religious or cultural values of groups associated with the resource. Other mitigation options include, but are not limited to, the full or partial removal and curation of the resource. The data recovery plan shall be conducted prior to any additional earth-moving activities in the area of the resource. The recovery plan shall be submitted to the project applicant, the City Planning, Housing, and Economic Development Department, and the Northwest Information Center (NWIC). Once the recovery plan is reviewed and approved by the City Planning, Housing, and Economic Development Department and any appropriate resource recovery completed, project construction activity within the area of the find may resume. A data recovery plan shall not be required for resources that have been deemed by the NWIC as adequately recorded and recovered by studies already completed.2 2 Redwood City.
