 .12.430 PROTECTION OF ARCHAEOLOGICAL RESOURCES.
 .    Policy and Purpose. Existing in Santa Cruz are certain deposits and sites of cultural significance believed to have been left by Native Americans and other early inhabitants. These deposits and sites are unique and irreplaceable phenomena of significance in the history of the city and the understanding of the cultural heritage of our land and of all humankind. Such sites have a deep, spiritual significance to Native Americans, especially the native peoples of the state of California, and constitute a precious archaeological and historical heritage which is fast disappearing as a result of public and private land development. Uncontrolled excavation or modification of these resources would destroy their cultural integrity. This loss would affect future generations and must be prevented in the public interest. Such cultural resources should be preserved in an undisturbed state wherever possible for future generations who should be more skilled and have access to better methods of study. In order to promote the public welfare, it is necessary to provide regulations for the protection, enhancement, and perpetuation of such sites. This section, therefore, is intended to provide a procedure for preserving the valuable cultural resources in the city of Santa Cruz. It should be noted that California Public Resources Code Section 5097.9 and Health and Safety Code Section 7050.5 protect archaeological and paleontological resources and supersede any local regulations.
