CULTURAL RESOURCES Item No. Mitigation Description Update 25.1 Consult the map that shows areas with a high potential for archaeological sites when development applications are submitted for review. Given the sensitive nature of this information, this map cannot be included in the AUAR document, nor can it be made available to the public. If a development application falls within an area that is considered to have a high potential for archaeological sites, the city will require that the following steps and procedures involved in the identification and analysis of any archaeological sites is followed prior to development: • Conduct a Phase I archaeological survey within the area of potential effect (APE). The objective of the archaeological fieldwork is to determine if there are archaeological sites in the areas identified as having high potential for such, and define the extent of those sites that may be impacted by development plans. • Conduct a Phase 11 archaeological survey. If archaeological resources are uncovered within the APE that may be eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) a Phase II survey should be conducted. The objective of the investigation is to determine whether archaeological resources are eligible for listing on the NRHP. • Plan for avoidance or conduct Phase III data recovery. If a significant archaeological site is identified that will be impacted by development, avoidance is recommended. If this is not possible, then a data recovery of the site should occur. • If human remains are recovered at any time during archaeological This mitigation measure is ongoing. 15 Mitigation Plan Update - 2015 June 3, 2015
