City of San Leandro 2824 Halcyon Drive Residential Project 106 Regulatory Setting City of San Leandro 2035 General Plan 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. Action CD-1.12.B: AB 52 Compliance Implement the provisions of AB 52 regarding tribal consultation. The City will provide opportunities for meaningful input regarding the protection of tribal resources from Native American representatives in the planning and development review processes. Project-specific Impacts On May 24, 2021, FSC prepared a Cultural Resources Due Diligence Assessment which included a search of the NAHC Sacred Lands File (included as Appendix CRS). a. Would the project cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a tribal cultural resource as defined in Public Resources Code Section 21074 that is listed or eligible for listing in the California Register of Historical Resources, or in a local register of historical resources as defined in Public Resources Code Section 5020.1(k)? b. Would the project cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a tribal cultural resource as defined in Public Resources Code 21074 that is a resource determined by the lead agency, in its discretion and supported by substantial evidence, to be significant pursuant to criteria set forth in subdivision (c) of Public Resources Code Section 5024.1? As part of FSC’s Cultural Resources Due Diligence Assessment, FSC requested a search of the NAHC Sacred land files on March 29, 2021 and received a response from NAHC on April 7, 2021. The results of the NAHC Sacred Lands File database were negative. FSC reached out to 11 tribes provided by NAHC on April 9, 2021 to determine whether the tribes knew of any cultural resources on or near the project site. No responses were received. As discussed in Section 5, Cultural Resources, no cultural resources or human remains are expected to be present on the site. However, there is the possibility of encountering undisturbed subsurface tribal cultural resources. The proposed site preparation and grading of the project site could potentially lead to an encounter of a tribal cultural resource. In the event that a tribal cultural resource is uncovered during project construction, General Plan Policy CD-1.12, Action CD-1.12.A, and Action CD-1.12.B would ensure that impacts related to tribal cultural resources encountered during project implementation would be protected. With the inclusion of relevant General Plan policies and actions, the project’s impacts on tribal cultural resources would be less than significant.
