Revised EIR, the Responses to Comments (including a list of persons, organizations, and public
agencies commenting on the Draft Revised EIR), the Text Changes to the Draft Revised EIR
(bound together with the Responses to Comments) and all Community Development Department •
Staff Reports to the City Council, including all minutes, transcripts, attachments and references.
All of the above information has been and will be on file with the City of Huntington Beach
Department of Community Development,2000 Main Street,Huntington Beach, California 92648.
SECTION 2. The City Council finds and certifies that the Final Revised EIR is complete
and adequate in that it has identified all significant environmental effects of the Project and that
there are no known potential environmental impacts not addressed in the Final Revised EIR.
SECTION 3. The City Council finds that although the Final Revised EIR identifies
certain significant environmental effects that will result if the Project is approved, all significant
effects which can feasibly be mitigated or avoided have been mitigated or avoided by the
incorporation of project design features, standard requirements, and by the imposition of
mitigation measures on the approved Project. All mitigation measures are included in the
"Mitigation Monitoring Reporting Program" attached as Exhibit A to this Resolution and
incorporated herein by this reference.
SECTION 4. The City Council finds that the Final Revised EIR has described reasonable
alternatives to the Project that could feasibly obtain the basic objectives of the Project, even when
these alternatives might impede the attainment of Project objectives. Further, the City Council

is defined pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15088.5) has been added to the Final Revised
EIR after circulation of the Draft Revised EIR. The City Council finds that the minor refinements

text do not amount to significant new information concerning the Project, nor has any significant
new information concerning the Project become known to the City Council through the public
hearings held on the Project, or through the comments on the Draft Revised EIR and Responses to
Comments.

are also to be treated according to this statute.
B. If Native American human remains and/or grave goods are discovered or recognized on
the project site, then all construction activities shall immediately cease. Health and
Safety Code Section 7050.5 dictates that any discoveries of human skeletal material
shall be immediately reported to the County Coroner and all ground-disturbing activities
shall immediately halt and shall remain halted until the Coroner has determined the
nature of the remains. If the Coroner recognizes the human remains to be those of a
Native American or has reason to believe they are Native American, he or she shall

and Acjachemen Nation monitors determine that resuming construction activities at
that distance is acceptable and provides the project manager express consent of that
determination (along with any other mitigation measures the Kizh Nation and
Acjachemen Nation monitors and/or archaeologists deems necessary). (CEQA
Guidelines Section 15064.5(f).)
E. Preservation in place (i.e., avoidance) is the preferred manner of treatment for
discovered human remains and/or burial goods. Any historic archaeological material
that is not Native American in origin (non-TCR) shall be curated at a public, non-profit
institution with a research interest in the materials,such as the Natural History Museum
of Los Angeles County or the Fowler Museum,if such an institution agrees to accept the
material. If no institution accepts the archaeological material, it shall be offered to a
local school or historical society in the area for educational purposes.
F. Any discovery of human remains/burial goods shall be kept confidential to prevent
further disturbance.
MM TCR-3 Procedures for Burials and Funerary Remains. Kizh Nation During construction
A. If the Native American Heritage Commission designates the Kizh as the Most Likely activities.
Descendant ("MLD") for any human remains discovered or recognized on the project
site, the Koo-nas-gna Burial Policy shall be implemented.To the Kizh Nation, the term
"human remains"encompasses more than human bones. In ancient as well as historic
times,Tribal Traditions included, but were not limited to,the preparation of the soil for
burial,the burial of funerary objects with the deceased,and the ceremonial burning of
human remains.
B. If the discovery of human remains includes four or more burials,the discovery location
shall be treated as a cemetery and a separate treatment plan shall be created.
C. The prepared soil and cremation soils are to be treated in the same manner as bone
fragments that remain intact. Associated funerary objects are objects that, as part of
the death rite or ceremony of a culture, are reasonably believed to have been placed
with individual human remains either at the time of death or later; other items made
exclusively for burial purposes or to contain human remains can also be considered as
associated funerary objects. Cremations will either be removed in bulk or by means as
necessary to ensure complete recovery of all sacred materials.
D. In the case where discovered human remains cannot be fully documented and
recovered on the same day,the remains will be covered with muslin cloth and a steel
plate that can be moved by heavy equipment placed over the excavation opening to
protect the remains.If this type of steel plate is not available,a 24-hour guard should be

posted outside of working hours.The Kizh Nation will make every effort to recommend
diverting the project and keeping the remains in situ and protected. If the project
cannot be diverted,it may be determined that burials will be removed.
E. In the event that preservation in place is not possible despite good faith efforts by the
project applicant/developer and/or landowner,before ground-disturbing activities may
resume on the project site, the landowner shall arrange a designated site location
within the footprint of the project for the respectful reburial of the human remains
and/or ceremonial objects.
F. Each occurrence of human remains and associated funerary objects will be stored using
opaque cloth bags.All human remains,funerary objects,sacred objects and objects of
cultural patrimony will be removed to a secure container on site if possible.These items
should be retained and reburied within 6 months of recovery. The site of reburial/
repatriation shall be on the project site but at a location agreed upon between the Kizh
Nation and the landowner at a site to be protected in perpetuity. There shall be no
publicity regarding any cultural materials recovered.
G. The Kizh Nation will work closely with the project's qualified archaeologist to ensure
that the excavation is treated carefully, ethically, and respectfully. If data recovery is
approved by the Kizh Nation, documentation shall be prepared and shall include (at a
minimum) detailed descriptive notes and sketches. All data recovery-related forms of
documentation shall be approved in advance by the Kizh Nation. If any data recovery is
performed,once complete,a final report shall be submitted to the Kizh Nation and the
NAHC.The Kizh Nation does NOT authorize any scientific study or the utilization of any
invasive and/or destructive diagnostics on human remains.
4.10:Utilities and Service Systems
The proposed project would not result in any significant adverse impacts related to utilities and service systems.No mitigation is required.
