Environmental Checklist For CEQA Compliance No Impact. The project site does not contain any biological resources that are protected by local policies. Therefore, the project would not conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources. No impacts would occur. V. Cultural Resources A. No Impact. The project site does not have any structures listed on local, state, or federal historic resource lists and have not been determined to be eligible for such lists (City of Santa Ana 1998:A-54). Interior and exterior renovations of the structures would not cause adverse changes or significance to historic resources. No impacts would occur. B. No Impact. The project site is located within an urbanized area and has been disturbed by previous and existing development; therefore, it is unlikely that any significant archaeological resources exist on site (City of Santa Ana 1998:A-53). No impacts would occur. C. No Impact. The project site is located within an urbanized area and has been disturbed by previous and existing development; therefore, it is unlikely that any significant paleontological resources exist on site. No impacts would occur D. Less Than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated. The project site is not known to contain -human remains interred inside or outside formal cemeteries. The proposed project site is not located on a cemetery or burial ground, is currently developed; and has been disturbed in the past. The proposed project would include only a minimal amount of grading associated with resurfacing of the parking lot. Discovery of human remains is governed by state law, which requires stop of work and reporting to authorities. Although it is unlikely that human remains would be discovered at the project site, in the event that human remains are discovered on the project site during construction activities, Mitigation Measure CR-1 will reduce any unforeseen impacts related to the discovery of human remains to below a level of significance. CR-1 In the event that human remains are found on the project site, all work will stop and the County Coroner will be called to assess the remains and exhume them. In the event that the County Coroner recognizes the remains as being of Native American origin, the County Coroner is responsible to contact the Native American Heritage Commission within 24 hours. The Commission has various powers and duties to provide for the ultimate disposition of any Native American remains, as does the assigned Most Likely Descendant. Sections 5097.98 and 5097.99 of the Public Resources Code also call for "protection to Native American human burials and skeletal remains from vandalism and inadvertent destruction." VI. Geology and Soils A-1 No Impact. According to the most recent Alquist-Priolo Zoning Map, no known fault traces are located in the City of Santa Ana (California Department of Conservation, California Geologic Survey 2006).
