SAN LEANDRO SHORELINE DEVELOPMENT DRAFT EIR <br />CITY OF SAN LEANDRO <br />CULTURAL RESOURCES <br />procedures and protocols set forth in Section 15064.5(e)(1) of the CEQA Guidelines. The Coroner shall <br />then determine whether the remains are Native American. If the Coroner determines the remains are <br />Native American, the Coroner shall notify the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) within 24 <br />hours, who will, in turn, notify the person the NAHC identifies as the Most Likely Descendant (MLD) of <br />any human remains (Health and Safety Code Section 7050.5, subdivision (c), and Public Resources <br />Code 5097.98 [as amended by AB 2641]). Further actions shall be determined, in part, by the desires <br />of the MLD. The MLD has 48 hours to make recommendations regarding the disposition of the <br />remains following notification from the NAHC of the discovery. <br />Per Public Resources Code 5097.98, the contractor shall ensure that the immediate vicinity, according <br />to generally accepted cultural or archaeological standards or practices, where the human remains are <br />located, is not damaged or disturbed by further development activity until the contractor has <br />discussed and conferred, as prescribed in this section (California Public Resources Code Section <br />5097.98), with the MLD regarding their recommendations, if applicable, taking into account the <br />possibility of multiple human remains. If the MLD does not make recommendations within 48 hours, <br />the Project Applicant shall, with appropriate dignity, reinter the remains in an area of the property <br />secure from further disturbance. Alternatively, if the owner does not accept the MLD's <br />recommendations, the Project Applicant or the descendent may request mediation by the NAHC. <br />Significance After Mitigation: Less than significant. <br />4.4.4 CUMULATIVE IMPACTS <br />CULT -5 The Project, in combination with past, present, and reasonably <br />foreseeable projects, would not result in significant impacts with respect <br />to cultural resources. <br />Cumulative impacts would occur when a series of actions leads to the loss of a substantial type of site, <br />building, or resource. For example, while the loss of a single historic neighborhood may not be significant <br />to the character of the neighborhood or streetscape, continued loss of such resources on a project -by - <br />project basis could result in a cumulative significant impact. However, similar to the Project, other projects <br />throughout the City would be required to comply with existing federal, State, and local regulations and <br />policies listed above in the Regulatory Framework. Accordingly, potential cumulative impacts related to <br />cultural resources would be less than significant. <br />As there are no historic structures and no known archaeological resources, paleontological resources, or <br />human remains within the Project site, buildout of the Project would not create, nor contribute to a <br />cumulative impact on cultural resources. Additionally, the existing federal, State, and local regulations and <br />policies described throughout this chapter serve to protect any as -yet -undiscovered cultural resources in <br />the City of San Leandro. Continued compliance with these regulations and implementation of existing <br />policies, including applicable San Leandro General Plan policies, would prevent impacts; therefore, a less - <br />than -significant cumulative impact would occur. <br />4.4-12 DECEMBER 2014 <br />
