Impact Mitigation Measure(s) Residual Impact <br />Impact CR-3. Ground-disturbing activities associated with <br />development under the proposed Specific Plan could result in <br />damage to or destruction of human burials. However, adherence to <br />existing regulations regarding the discovery of human remains <br />would reduce potential impacts to a less than significant level. <br />None required. Less than significant <br />without mitigation <br />Impact CR-4. Construction associated with individual projects that <br />would as a result from pursuant to implementation of the proposed <br />Specific Plan could involve ground-disturbing activities such as <br />grading and surface excavation, which have the potential to unearth <br />or adversely impact previously unidentified tribal cultural resources. <br />Impacts would be less than significant with mitigation incorporated. <br />MM-CR-4 Unanticipated Discovery of Tribal Cultural Resources <br />In the event that potential tribal cultural resources are identified during the <br />implementation of the requirements under Mitigation Measure CR-2, the qualified <br />expert performing the cultural resources study, along with the project applicant and <br />the City, will contact California Native American tribe(s) that have expressed interest <br />and begin or continue consultation procedures with that tribe(s). If, as a result of the <br />consultation, the City determines that the resource is a tribal cultural resource and <br />the proposed project will have a potentially significant impact, additional mitigation <br />measures as discussed with the tribe to avoid or reduce impacts to the resource shall <br />be required and implemented where feasible. <br />Less than significant <br />Geology and Soils <br />Impact GEO-1. The Specific Plan Area is near the Hayward Fault <br />Zone. Therefore, the Specific Plan Area is subject to seismically- <br />induced ground shaking and other seismic hazards, including <br />liquefaction, which could damage structures in the Specific Plan <br />Area and result in loss of property and risk to human health and <br />safety. However, incorporation of state-mandated building <br />standards and compliance with 2035 General Plan policies would <br />ensure impacts would be less than significant. <br />None required. Less than significant <br />without mitigation <br />Impact GEO-2. With adherence to applicable laws and regulations, <br />the proposed specific plan would not result in substantial soil <br />erosion or the loss of topsoil. Therefore, impacts would be less than <br />significant. <br />None required. Less than significant <br />without mitigation <br />Impact GEO-3. The Specific Plan Area is located on expansive soils. <br />Proper soils engineering practices would be required to ensure that <br />soil conditions would not result in significant adverse impacts. With <br />required implementation of standard engineering practices, impacts <br />associated with unstable or expansive soils would be less than <br />significant. <br />None required. Less than significant <br />without mitigation <br />Impact GEO-4. The proposed Specific Plan would not include septic <br />tanks or alternative wastewater disposal systems. No impact would <br />occur. <br />None required. Less than significant <br />without mitigation <br />81
