Six archaeological sites were discovered in, 1, 05 and may be of significant importance. Development of the project could adversely impact these identified resources. The referenced environmental impact reports dIsnuss these impacts. in greatedetail. Many of the impacts have already been sustained ''n the area by previous residential. development. Because of the site of the proposed development, the relatively loiw density of p'ro;posed. use (14 acres per residence), and the relationship of this project to currently existing residential use on adjacent land of similar character, some of the impacts may be considered less significant. °the following cohdit'ions are mi,tigatioit i►ieasures that can be required forproject approval to re.ducd adverse impacts. l..
