09/10/2012 construction activities, by informing construction personnel involved with site clearing and grading that there is a potential for discovery of paleontological materials, educating construction personnel on indicators of paleontological deposits, and by ensuring they are appropriately collected and documented by a qualified paleontologist, as described in Section 2.1 —Cultural Resources of the Draft EIR on pages 32-49, which is hereby incorporated by reference. Geolo�v and Soils Impact: Impact GEO-2: The soils on the site are susceptible to liquefaction. Development of lands subject to liquefaction represents the potential to expose people or structures to potential substantial adverse effects, including the risk of loss, injury, or death. Mitigation: MM GEO—2: Development of the proposed project in compliance with a final site- specific, design-level geotechnical report will ensure that construction of the proposed project would not expose people or structures to potential substantial adverse effects from seismic-related ground failure, including liquefaction. Prior to issuance of a grading or building permit,the project applicant shall submit to the City for review and approval a final site-specific, design-level geotechnical report,to be prepared by a licensed professional. The geotechnical report shall include recommendations for grading, avoidance of settlement,the effects of expansive soils, and differential settlement of infrastructure and buildings. The report shall also identify the specific design parameters for foundations systems to ensure that such systems will not be affected by liquefaction that could occur on the site. Building plans submitted to the City shall incorporate the foundation design parameters identified in the evaluation. Finding: Implementation of MM GEO—2 would reduce impacts from liquefaction to a less than significant level. Facts in Support of Finding: Implementation of MM GEO—2 would reduce the project's impacts from liquefaction by preparing the site soils and designing the project to negate the impacts of liquefaction, as described in Section 2.3—Geology, Soils, and Seismicity of the Draft EIR on pages 64-75, which is hereby incorporated by reference. Impact: Impact GEO—3: Structures set back less than 30 feet from creek toe of bank are at risk from sudden bank failure. A small portion of the home proposed on Lot 3 would encroach within 30 feet of the toe of bank. As proposed, structures on proposed Lots l, 2, and 4 would be sited a minimum of 30 feet from the toe of the creek bank. Mitigation: MM GEO—3: The structure on Lot 3 is sited less than 30 feet from the toe of the Cordilleras Creek embankment, therefore the foundation shall be supported on a lo RESO.#15217 MUFF#613
