shall be halted. The City, in consultation with a City- |
either (1) no previously |

DSP, DSP-V, CPP, & CPP-V scenarios |
approved qualified consulting archaeologist, shall assess the significance of the find according to CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.5. Prehistoric materials |
unidentified archaeological resources were discovered during ground-disturbing |
activities. |

subject to this measure might include obsidian and |
activities or (2) the status |

chert flaked-stone tools (e.g., projectile points, knives, |
of work within 100 feet of |

scrapers) or toolmaking debris; culturally darkened soil |
the discovery of previously |

(“midden”) containing heat-affected rocks, artifacts, or |
unidentified archaeological |

shellfish remains; stone milling equipment (e.g., |
resources. |
||||
mortars, pestles, handstones, or milling slabs); and |
|||||
battered stone tools, such as hammerstones and pitted |
|||||
stones. Historic-era materials subject to this measure |
|||||
might include in-situ (in place) stone, concrete, or |
|||||
adobe footings and walls; filled wells or privies; and in- |
|||||
situ deposits of metal, glass, and/or ceramic refuse. |

If any find is determined to be a historical resource or a |
|||||
unique archaeological resource, the City and the |
|||||
consulting archaeologist shall meet to determine the |

appropriate avoidance measures or other appropriate |
|||||
mitigation. The City shall make the final determination. |
|||||
All archaeological resources recovered shall be subject |
|||||
to scientific analysis, professional museum curation, |
|||||
and documentation according to current professional |
|||||
standards. |
|||||
Preservation in place, i.e. avoidance, is the preferred |
|||||
method of mitigation for impacts to cultural resources |
|||||
and shall be required unless there are other equally |
|||||
effective methods. Preservation in place would include |
|||||
planning construction to avoid archaeological sites; |
|||||
deeding archaeological sites into a conservation |
|||||
easement, park, or green space; or capping/covering |
|||||
archaeological sites with a layer of soil before building. |
|||||
Other methods to be considered shall include |
|||||
archeological testing, archeological monitoring, and/or |
|||||
an archeological data recovery program that would |
|||||
include sample excavation, artifact collection, site |
|||||
documentation, and historical research. All |
|||||
archaeological work shall be completed in accordance |
|||||
with a Cultural Resources Management Plan prepared |
