Page 12 of 37
Native American Heritage Commission shall identify the "most likely
descendant." The most likely descendant shall then make recommendations and

shall also be subject to consultation between appropriate representatives from
that group and the Community Development Director.

cultural resources are discovered that were not assessed by the archaeological
report(s) and/or environmental assessment conducted prior to project approval,
the following procedures shall be followed. Unique cultural resources are
defined, for this condition only, as being multiple artifacts in close association
with each other, but may include fewer artifacts if the area of the find is
determined to be of significance due to its sacred or cultural importance as
determined in consultation with the Native American Tribe(s).
i. All ground disturbance activities within 100 feet of the discovered cultural
resources shall be halted until a meeting is convened between the developer,
the archaeologist, the tribal representative(s) and the Community
Development Director to discuss the significance of the find.
ii. At the meeting, the significance of the discoveries shall be discussed and
after consultation with the tribal representative(s) and the archaeologist, a
decision shall be made, with the concurrence of the Community Development
Director, as to the appropriate mitigation (documentation, recovery,
avoidance, etc.) for the cultural resources.
iii. Grading of further ground disturbance shall not resume within the area of the
discovery until an agreement has been reached by all parties as to the
appropriate mitigation.
iv. Treatment and avoidance of the newly discovered resources shall be
consistent with the Cultural Resources Treatment and Monitoring
Agreements entered into with the appropriate tribes. This may include
avoidance of the cultural resources through project design, in-place
preservation of cultural resources located in native soils and/or re-burial on
the Project property so they are not subject to further disturbance in
perpetuity.
v. Pursuant to Calif. Pub. Res. Code § 21083.2(b) avoidance is the preferred
method of preservation for archaeological resources and cultural resources.
If the landowner and the Tribe(s) cannot agree on the significance or the
mitigation for the archaeological or cultural resources, these issues will be
presented to the City Community Development Director for decision. The City
Community Development Director shall make the determination based on the
provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act with respect to
archaeological resources, recommendations of the project archeologist and
shall take into account the cultural and religious principles and practices of
