Community Plan Exemption Checklist <br />City of Santa Ana Gary Avenue Business Park Project <br /> <br />58 <br />Proposed Project Applicability: Mitigation Measure GEO-1 is not applicable to the proposed Project <br />because the Project site is not located within a high paleontological sensitivity area. <br /> <br />GEO-2 Low-to-High Sensitivity. Prior to issuance of a grading permit for projects involving ground <br />disturbance in previously undisturbed areas mapped with “low-to-high” paleontological <br />sensitivity, the project applicant shall consult with a geologist or paleontologist to confirm whether <br />the grading would occur at depths that could encounter highly sensitive sediments for <br />paleontological resources. If confirmed that underlying sediments may have high sensitivity, <br />construction activity shall be monitored by a qualified paleontologist. The paleontologist shall <br />have the authority to halt construction during construction activity as outlined in Mitigation Measure <br />GEO-3. <br />Proposed Project Applicability: Mitigation Measure GEO-2 is applicable to the proposed Project because <br />the Project site is located within a low paleontological sensitivity area and will be included in the MMRP <br />for the proposed Project. <br /> <br />GEO-3 All Projects. In the event of any fossil discovery, regardless of depth or geologic formation, <br />construction work shall halt within a 50-foot radius of the find until its significance can be <br />determined by a qualified paleontologist. Significant fossils shall be recovered, prepared to the <br />point of curation, identified by qualified experts, listed in a database to facilitate analysis, and <br />deposited in a designated paleontological curation facility in accordance with the standards of <br />the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology (2010). The most likely repository is the Natural History <br />Museum of Los Angeles County. The repository shall be identified, and a curatorial arrangement <br />shall be signed prior to collection of the fossils. <br /> <br />Proposed Project Applicability: Mitigation Measure GEO-3 is applicable to the proposed Project and will <br />be included in the MMRP for the proposed Project. <br /> <br /> <br />8/22/2022 <br />Planning Commission 2 – 97
