10/11/2010 Attachment 1.A Impact 4.5 -4: Ground - disturbing activities associated with construction of new development allowed under the New General Plan could impact previously undiscovered human remains. a) Potential Impact. The impact identified above is described and discussed on page 4.5 -25 of the DEIR. b) Mitigation Measures. The following mitigation measures are hereby adopted and will be implemented as provided in the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program: FEIR Mitigation Measure 4.5 -3a (p. 4.5 -26 of the DEIR). FEIR Mitigation Measure 4.5 -3b (p. 4.5 -26 of the DEIR). C) Findings. Based on the FEIR and the entire record before the City, the City Council finds that Mitigation Measures 4.5 -3a and 4.5 -3b would reduce the impacts relating to undiscovered human remains to a less - than - significant level because they would require (i) that construction crews be trained regarding the possible presence of archaeological and human remains and the laws and procedures for protecting such remains, (ii) work stoppage if such remains are discovered, (iii) consultation with the San Mateo County Coroner and a qualified archaeologist concerning appropriate treatment of such remains, and (iv) the implementation of appropriate measures based on consultation with the Coroner and archaeologist. 4.6 Geology and Soils Impact 4.6 -1: The plan area is subject to a number of potential seismic hazards, including ground shaking, landslides, liquefaction, and lateral spreading that would affect future development allowed under the New General Plan. a) Potential Impact. The impact identified above is described and discussed on pages 4.6 -15 to 4.6 -16 of the DEIR. b) Mitigation Measures. FEIR Mitigation Measure 4.6 -1 (p. 4.6 -16 of the DEIR) is hereby adopted and will be implemented as provided in the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program. C) Findings. Based on the FEIR and the entire record before the City, the City Council finds that Mitigation Measure 4.6 -1 would reduce impacts from seismic activities to a less - than - significant level because where seismic hazards cannot be mitigated through existing regulatory requirements and new policies in the proposed New General Plan, the City will use open -space easements and other land use regulatory restrictions to limit development on such sites and thereby avoid public safety hazards.
