8.A. - Page 46 resources, which represented a potenfially significant impact Mifigation 7-1 of the Downtown Precise Plan program EIR reguires that in the event that any deposit of prehistonc or histonc archaeological matenals are encountered dunng project construction activifies, all work within an appropnate buffer area shall be stapped and a gualified archaeologist meeting Pederal cntena under 36 CPR 61 be contacted to assess the deposit and make recommendafions, possibly incluc&ng complete avoidance of the resources, in-place preservation, and/or data recovery. This measure, which shall be reguired as a conc&tion of approval for the projec� will reduce the potential impacts of the project on archaeological resources to a less-than-significant level. c. The proposed project will not cause a potentially significant impact to any known paleontological resources in the project vicinity. However, the Downtown Precise Plan program EIR (p. 7-41) concluded that earthmoving activity associated with DTPP facilitated development could potentially c&srup� alter, or eliminate as-yet unc&scovered paleontological resources, which represented a potenfially significant impact Mifigation 7-5 of the Downtown Precise Plan program EIR reguires that pnor to the issuance of grac&ng or demolifion permits, the Planning, Housing, and Economic Development Deparbnent(now the Community Development Deparbnent), in coorc&nation with a gualified paleontologis� assess inc&vidual development proposals for the potential to destroy unigue paleontological resources and to determine provisions to protect such resources when applicable, possibly incluc&ng complete avoidance of the resources, in-place preservation, and/or data recovery as detailed in Mifigation 7-1. This measure, which shall be reguired as a conc&fion of approval for the projec� will reduce the potential impacts of the project on paleontological resources to a less-than-signific�t level. e. The proposed project will not cause a potentially significant impact to any known cemetenes or human remains in the project vicinity (EIR p. 7-7). However, should any human remains be found dunng on-or off-site improvements associated with the proposed projec� the City of Redwood City Cultural Resources Management Plan guidelines and EIR Mifigation 7-1 reguire that construction activities be halted immec&ately and the County coroner and a professional archaeologist be consulted to evaluate the significance of the find if the remains are Native Amencan, the Native Amencan Hentage Commission is reguired to be notified These measures, which shall be reguired as conc&tions of approval for the projec� will reduce the potential impacts of the project on human remains to a less- than-significant level. Summary of Impacts Potentially Less than Signifcant Less than Significant With Mitigation Signifcant No Im act Incor orated Im act Im act VL GEOLOGY AND SOILS— YVould the project: a) Expose people or structures to potential substantial adverse effects, including the risk of loss, injury, or death involving: The project would not create new geologic hazards that could damage project or nearby facilities. Therefore,this section focuses on the effect of local geologic conditions and activity on the proposed project. i) Rupture of a known earthquake fault, as delineated on the most recent X Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Map issued by the State Geologist for the area or based on other substantial evidence of a known fault(Division of Mines and Geology Special Publication 42)? ii) Strong seismic ground shaking? X iii) Seismio-related ground failure, including liquefaction? X iv) Landslides? X b) Result in substantial soil erosion or the loss of topsoil? X c) Be located on a geologic unit or soil that is unstable, or that would become X unstable as a result of the project, and potentially result in on-or off-site landslide, lateral spreading subsidence, liquefaction, or collapse? d) Be located on e�pansive soil, as defined in Table 18-1-B of the Uniform X Building Code, creating substantial risks to life or property? e) Have soils incapable of adequately supporting the use of septic tanks or X 11
