Noise barriers, such as temporary walls (minimum ½-inch thick plywood) or sound blankets (minimum STC 25 rating), that are a minimum of eight feet tall, shall be erected along the western property line between construction activities and Noise-Sensitive Uses located adjacent to the west of the Project Site. 119. MM NOI-3: Mechanical Equipment Buffer. Prior to the issuance of building permits, the Applicant shall submit site plans showing the location of stationary mechanical equipment. Stationary mechanical equipment such as air conditioning units shall be located at a minimum distance of 38 feet from off-site sensitive receptors. In the event that stationary mechanical equipment cannot be set back by a minimum of 38 feet, the Applicant shall submit a noise memorandum showing that equipment would be equipped with sufficient sound attenuation (e.g., shielding) to reduce noise at adjacent residential receptors to a maximum of 44.4 dBA. 15 120. MM NOI-4: On-Site Construction Vibration Control. The following measure shall be incorporated on all grading and building plans and specifications subject to approval of the City’s Building and Safety Division prior to issuance of a grading permit: • The developer shall ensure vibratory construction equipment will not operate within the construction buffer zone adjacent to the residential buildings along the western Project Site boundary. Specifically, loaded trucks shall not operate within 14 feet of the residential buildings to the west of the Project Site, large bulldozers (50 tons/100,000 pounds or larger) shall not operate within 15 feet of the residential buildings to the west of the Project Site, and vibratory rollers shall not operate within 26 feet of the residential buildings to the west of the Project Site. • The developer shall require the use of non-vibratory rollers (i.e., static or pneumatic rollers) or other less vibratory equipment within the buffer zone adjacent to the residential buildings along the western Project Site boundary. Tribal Cultural Resources 121. MM TCR-1: Retain a Native American Monitor Prior to Commencement of Ground- Disturbing Activities. The Project Applicant shall retain a Native American Monitor from or approved by the Gabrieleño Band of Mission Indians – Kizh Nation. The monitor shall be retained prior to the commencement of any “ground-disturbing activity” for the subject Project at all Project locations (i.e., both on-site and any off-site locations that are included in the Project description/definition and/or required in connection with the Project, such as public improvement work). “Ground-disturbing activity” shall include, but is not limited to, demolition, pavement removal, potholing, auguring, grubbing, tree removal, boring, grading, excavation, drilling, and trenching. A copy of the executed monitoring agreement shall be submitted to the Lead Agency prior to the earlier of the commencement of any ground-disturbing activity, or the issuance of any permit necessary to commence a ground-disturbing activity. The monitor shall complete daily monitoring logs that will provide descriptions of the relevant ground-disturbing activities, the type of construction activities performed, locations of ground-disturbing activities, soil types, cultural-related materials, and any other facts, conditions, materials, or discoveries of significance to the Tribe. Monitor logs shall identify and describe any discovered Tribal cultural resources, including but not limited to, Native American cultural and historical artifacts, remains, places of significance, etc., as well as any discovered Native American (ancestral) human remains and burial goods. Copies of monitor logs shall be provided to the Project Applicant and Lead Agency upon written request to the Tribe. On-site tribal monitoring shall conclude upon the latter of the following (1) written confirmation to the Kizh from a designated point of contact for the Project Applicant or Lead Agency that all ground-disturbing activities and phases that may involve ground disturbing activities on the Project Site or in connection with the Project are complete; or (2) a determination and written notification by the Kizh to the Project Applicant or Lead 16 Agency that no future, planned construction activity and/or development/construction phase at the Project Site possesses the potential to impact Kizh Tribal cultural resources. 122. MM TCR-2: Unanticipated Discovery of Tribal Cultural Resource Objects (Non- Funerary/Non-Ceremonial). Upon discovery of any Tribal cultural resources, all construction activities in the immediate vicinity of the discovery shall cease (i.e., not less than the surrounding 50 feet) and shall not resume until the discovered Tribal cultural resource has been fully assessed by the Kizh monitor and/or Kizh archaeologist. The Kizh shall recover and retain all discovered Tribal cultural resources in the form and/or manner the Tribe deems appropriate, in the Tribe’s sole discretion, and for any purpose the Tribe deems appropriate, including for educational, cultural and/or historic purposes. 123. MM TCR-3: Unanticipated Discovery of Human Remains and Associated Funerary or Ceremonial Objects. Native American human remains are defined in PRC 5097.98 (d)(1) as an inhumation or cremation, and in any state of decomposition or skeletal completeness. Funerary objects, called associated grave goods in PRC Section 5097.98, are also to be treated according to this statute. If Native American human remains and/or grave goods are discovered or recognized on the Project Site, then PRC 5097.9 as well as Health and Safety Code Section 7050.5 shall be followed. Human remains and grave/burial goods shall be treated alike per PRC Section 5097.98(d)(1) and (2). Preservation in place (i.e., avoidance) is the preferred manner of treatment for discovered human remains and/or burial goods. Any discovery of human remains/burial goods shall be kept confidential to prevent further disturbance.
