Each development proposal shall --include the necessary studies, outlined in the City of San Rafael's General Plan Table #2 to include an evaluation of a landscaping program that will limit the potential of slope failure, increased erosion and sedimentation. Landscaping materials requiring minimal irrigation and tending to limit ground water collection through transpiration shall be selected. All exposed soil areas should be seeded and mulched by October 15th of the year in which construction takes place as a temporary erosion control measure. c. Cut and fill areas shall be engineered and limited in extent in accordance with general conditions B-6 and specific area grading conditions noted in Section C of the conditions. A site investigation of the clay deposits in Area 8 shall be conducted to identify any specific problems and necessary protective measures. This investigation shall be submitted with the use permit application for Area 8. d. Site specific seismic, geological, and soils engin- eering studies shall be conducted as required by the City of San Rafael as outlined in General Plan Table 2. - 1 - e. Detailed soils and methane analysis shall be conducted in Areas 4, 6b, and 11 where organic material has been placed on bay mud to identify and delineate potential geoseismic and stability hazards.

Archeological site protection mitigation measures are included in Section B-5 of the General Conditions. g. The pond area should be enhanced to permit more effective recreational and educational use of this local resource.

The discovery of the site shall be reported by the party discovering it to the Department of Public Works of the City of San Rafael. Work shall be suspended for a period of 30 days during which time the City of San Rafael shall contact an appropriate archeological institution to evaluate (with expense to be paid by the owner or developer) and report back to the City Planning Commission whether further study is needed and any recom- mendations for a timetable for such study". 7.
