resources. If a site is deemed to have an archeological resource then the appropriate measures will be
applied. If the site does not meet the criteria defined 25 but meets the definition of a unique archeological
resource, the site shall be treated in accordance with State CEQA Guidelines 26 (Policy CO 5.1.1). As the
County approaches buildout there is the potential to demolish existing buildings which are in the

timeline or timeframe of becoming historic landmarks or buildings. Implementation of Policies CO 5.1.1
through CO 5.1.3 would reduce the impacts to less than significant.

As stated in State CEQA Guidelines 27 and in Senate Bill 18 the notification to any of the appropriate
California Native American tribes via the contact list maintained by the California Native American
Heritage Commission would be conducted on a project-by-project basis by the County (Policy CO 5.3.1).
Notification to the Native American Heritage Commission for contacting the appropriate tribes would be

required on a project-by-project basis (Policy CO 5.3.2). Policy CO 5.3.3 requires the appropriate
environmental impact analysis that is required by CEQA. Vasquez Rocks and the Santa Clara River have
been designated open space on the Land Use Map (Policy LU 6.4.3). The identification and preservation
areas for open space would help conserve and protect significant cultural and historical resources (Policy

CO 10.1.4 and Policies LU 6.4.3 and LU 6.4.6). The incorporation of designating open space in these
sensitive areas would further (Policy CO 10.1.4 and Policies LU 6.4.3 and LU 6.4.6) the County to add
more recreation areas. The preservation of open space within the County’s Planning Area would be
consistent with the proposed Area Plan.

regarding any potential impacts to Native American resources from the
proposed action, pursuant to State guidelines.

Policy CO 5.3.2: For any proposed development project that may have a potential impact on
Native American cultural resources, provide notification to California Native
American tribes on the contact list maintained by the Native American Heritage
