i~ ii i~ Environmental Checklist For CEQA Compliance C. No Impact. The project would not result in impacts to wetland areas because no wetlands are located on the project site. No impacts would occur. D. 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). The existing warehouse building is less than 50 years old and has no historic significance. No impacts would occur. B. Less Than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated. 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). However, there is the potential for unknown resources to be discovered during construction and excavation at the site. Implementation of Mitigation Measure CR-1 below would reduce impacts to less than significant levels. Mitigation Measures CR-1. During construction activities involving grading or other site preparation activities that involve in-ground excavation, the construction contractor will monitor activities to ensure that potential archaeological resources are not damaged or destroyed. Should grading or excavation activities uncover any materials that are suspected of having any potential to be of archaeological significance, the contractor will halt construction activities in the immediate area (within 100 feet of the find) and notify the City. Such materials may include, but are not limited to, former building foundations, historic dump/trash sites (i.e., outhouse privies), glass from a historic era, pottery and ceramics, or other materials that are suspect of being associated with historic occupation of the area. In this event, the City will retain a Qualified Archeologist to make an immediate evaluation of significance and appropriate treatment of the resource. To complete this assessment, the Qualified Archeologist will be afforded the necessary time to recover, analyze, and curate the find. The Qualified Archeologist will recommend the extent of archeological monitoring necessary to ensure the protection of any other resources that may be in the area. Construction activities will be allowed to continue on other parts of the building site while evaluation and treatment of historical or unique archaeological resources takes place. C. No Impact. The project site is located within an urbanized area and has been disturbed by previous and existing development. No known paleontological resources are located within the vicinity of the project area. Additionally, excavation and grading of the site would be relatively shallow and is not anticipated to uncover any paleontological resources, should they exist in the area. Therefore, no impacts would occur Alton Court Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration 3-21 August 2007 J&S 00635.07 75A-87
