4.12 MINERAL RESOURCES <br /> Threshold M-1: The Project would not result in the loss of availability of a known mineral <br /> resource that would be of value to the region and the residents of the state. <br /> Findings: The City finds that the Project would result in no impacts to mineral resources related <br /> to the loss of availability of a known mineral resource that would be of value to the region and the <br /> residents of the state. (Draft Supplemental EIR, pp. 5-12—5-13.) <br /> Explanation of the Rationale. The Project site is entirely located in an area designated as MRZ- <br /> 3, indicating that the significance of mineral deposits cannot be determined from the available <br /> data. The Project site is currently developed with existing commercial retail and surface parking <br /> lot uses. No mineral extraction occurs within or near the Project site, and no mineral extraction <br /> would occur with implementation of the Project. Thus, the Project would not result in the loss of <br /> availability of a known mineral resource that would be of value to the region and the residents of <br /> the state. No impact would occur. (Draft Supplemental EIR, pp. pp. 5-12—5-13.) <br /> Threshold M 2: The Project would not result in the loss of availability of a locally-important <br /> mineral resource recovery site delineated on a local general plan, specific <br /> plan or other land use plan. <br /> Findings: The City finds that the Project would result in no impacts to mineral resources related <br /> to the loss of availability of a locally-important mineral resource recovery site. (Draft Supplemental <br /> EIR, p. 5-13.) <br /> Explanation of the Rationale: The Project is not delineated as a locally important mineral <br /> resource recovery site in the GPU or other land use plan. The Project would be located within a <br /> fully developed urban site with no mineral resource sectors or active or inactive mines. Therefore, <br /> implementation of the Project would not result in the loss of availability of a locally-important <br /> mineral resource recovery site. No impact would occur. (Draft Supplemental EIR, p. 5-13.) <br /> Cumulative Impacts: The Project would not result in cumulative impacts concerning mineral <br /> resources. <br /> Findings: The City finds that the Project would result in less than significant cumulative impacts <br /> concerning mineral resources. (Draft Supplemental EIR, pp. 5-12—5-13.) <br /> Explanation of the Rationale: The Project site is entirely located in an area designated as MRZ- <br /> 3 and is not delineated as a locally important mineral resource recovery site in the GPU or other <br /> land use plan. The Project site is currently developed with existing commercial retail and surface <br /> parking lot uses. No mineral extraction occurs within or near the Project site, and no mineral <br /> extraction would occur with implementation of the Project. Thus, the Project would not result in <br /> the loss of availability of a known mineral resource that would be of value to the region and the <br /> residents of the state or of a locally-important mineral resource recovery site. No impact would <br /> occur. Therefore, the Project's contribution to cumulative impacts related to mineral resources <br /> would not be cumulatively considerable. No impacts would occur.
