Euclid Street Zone Change/Subdivision ER 2005-138 No Impact According to the General Plan Land Use Element EIR, there are no known cultural resources on the project site. Given the fact that the project area site is currently improved, the probability for the discovery of unknown cultural resources would be low. VI. GEOLOGY/SOILS A-I. Rupture of a known earthquake fault, as delineated on the most recent Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Map issued by the State geologist for the area or based on other substantial evidence of a known fault? No Impact The Seismic Hazards Mapping Act of 1991 established a statewide seismic hazard mapping and technical advisory program to assist cities and counties in protecting the public health and safety from the effects of strong ground shaking, liquefaction, landslides or other ground failure and other seismic hazards caused by earthquakes. Additionally, the Alquist-Priolo Act directs the State Geologist to delineate regulatory zones that encompass surface traces of active faults that have potential for future surface fault rupture to regulate development near active faults in order to mitigate the hazard of surface fault rupture. The applicable California Quadrangle Official Map of Seismic Hazard Zones dated January 17, 2001 was reviewed to evaluate potential seismic impacts on the project site. According to the Seismic Hazard Zone Map, the project site is not located within a designated Fault-Rupture Hazard Zone. Additionally, the surface traces of any active or potentially active faults are not known to pass directly through or extend towards the project site. Therefore, the potential for surface rupture due to faulting occurring beneath the project site during the design life of the proposed project is considered low. A-2. Strong Seismic Ground shaking? Potentially Significant Impact Unless ~tigation Incorporated 9 75A-28
