City of San Leandro 311 MacArthur Boulevard Residential Project 34 Register of Historical Resources or for local designation as a San Leandro City Landmark or Merit Structure. The on-site properties are not historical resources; therefore, their demolition would not result in a significant impact to historical resources. No impact would occur. NO IMPACT b. Would the project cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of an archaeological resource pursuant to §15064.5? The cultural resources records search, Sacred Lands File search, aerial imagery review, and informal Native American scoping process identified no archaeological resources on the project site. For context, one previously recorded cultural resource, a historic-age structure, P-01-000645, was identified in a 1994 Oakland Cultural Heritage Survey. The structure is a service garage that was converted into a store and is approximately 0.5 miles northwest of the project site. Although no extant cultural resources were identified on the project site during the study, there always remains a possibility of identifying unanticipated cultural resources during ground-disturbing activities and impacts to unanticipated discoveries is potentially significant. Compliance with 2035 General Plan Policy CD-1.12 and Action CD-1.12A (provided below) would ensure archaeological resources are protected in the event an unanticipated discovery during project construction. Policy CD-1.12: Archaeological Resources. Recognize the potential for paleontological, prehistoric, historic, archaeological, and tribal cultural resources and ensure that future development takes the measures necessary to identify and preserve such resources. Action CD-1.12.A: Archaeological Site Inventory. Maintain standard conditions of approval for new development, which require consultation with a professional archaeologist in the event that any subsurface paleontological, prehistoric, archaeological, or tribal cultural resource remains are discovered during any construction or preconstruction activities on a development site. This includes consultation with Native American organizations prior to continued site work in the event such remains are discovered. LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT OR LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT WITH MITIGATION INCORPORATED c. Would the project disturb any human remains, including those interred outside of formal cemeteries? The project site is not known to contain human remains, but the discovery of human remains is always a possibility during ground-disturbing activities. As stated in the General Plan EIR, compliance with existing federal, state, and local laws would reduce potential impacts to less than significant levels. No development is proposed outside of the areas studied in the 2035 General Plan. Consistent with California Health and Safety Code Section 7050.5, if human remains are found, no further disturbance shall occur until the county coroner has made a determination of origin and disposition pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 5097.98. In the event of an unanticipated discovery of human remains, the Contra Costa County Coroner must be notified immediately. If the human remains are determined to be prehistoric, the coroner is required to notify the Native American Heritage Commission, a representative of which would determine and notify a most likely descendant. The most likely descendant must complete the inspection of the site within 48 hours of notification and may recommend scientific removal and nondestructive analysis of human remains and items associated with Native American burials. No impacts would occur beyond those analyzed previously. LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT OR LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT WITH MITIGATION INCORPORATED
