impacts
on
birds,
including
a
requirement
to
“extinguish
all
exterior
lighting
(i.e.
rooftop
floods,
perimeter
spots)
not
required
for
public
safety.”
In
addition,
Mitigation
Measure
4.A-4a
sets
forth
lighting
design
standards
to
minimize
lighting
to
that
required
for
safety
and
comfort,
including
the
requirement
that
“exterior
lighting
shall
be
kept
to
the
minimum
required
for
safety.”
The
provisions
of
Mitigation
Measure
4.C-4a
apply
to
any
specific
plan
prepared
within
the
Brisbane
Baylands.
To
clarify
this
intent,
Mitigation
Measure
4.C-4a
is
revised
to
read
as
follows.
Mitigation
Measure
4.C-4a:
Development
in
the
Baylands
shall
be
subject
to
a
requirement
for
a
Project
wide
Open
Space
Plan
to
be
prepared
by
a
landscape
architect
in
coordination
with
a
qualified
habitat
restoration
biologist
and
included
as
a
component
of
the
any
Specific
Plan
within
the
Brisbane
Baylands.
The
Plan
shall
incorporate
designs
to
provide
for
wildlife
movement
corridors
and
to
enhance
habitat
for
native
wildlife
species.
Specific
requirements
shall
include
the
following:
Landscaped
areas
shall
contain
a
mosaic
of
native
habitat
types
that
support
fauna
of
the
surrounding
area,
including
coastal
scrub,
grassland,
and
willow
scrub
habitats.
Tree
plantings
shall
be
limited
to
native
species
whenever
possible,
as
these
species
could
create
more
nesting
and
roosting
habitat
for
native
birds
and
bats.
Landscape
plans
shall
incorporate
both
east-west
and
north-south
open
space
areas,
to
promote
both
linkages
between
upland
habitats
and
San
Francisco
Bay
and
linkages
between
upland
habitats
along
the
Bay
shoreline.
Removed
trees
shall
be
replaced
at
a
minimum
ratio
of
1:1
(native
trees
shall
be
substituted
for
non-native
trees
whenever
possible).
The
minimum
ratio
of
1:1
shall
be
met
five
years
after
planting;
initial
plantings
may
require
greater
than
1:1
ratio
to
achieve
this
standard.
Nest
boxes
for
bats
and
cavity-nesting
bird
species
shall
be
installed
in
passive
recreational
areas.
The
lighting
requirements
in
Mitigation
Measure
4.C-4b
represent
one
component
of
the
overall
program
to
mitigate
impacts
of
proposed
development
within
the
Baylands
Project
Site.
Other
components
to
protect
sensitive
natural
communities
include:
Avoidance
of
impacts,
along
with
minimizing
effects
where
avoidance
cannot
be
accomplished
(Mitigation
Measure
4.C-2a);
Maintaining
water
quality
and
preventing
siltation
and
urban
runoff
from
entering
the
lagoon
(Mitigation
Measure
4.C-2b);
