Habitat
replacement
where
disturbance
cannot
be
avoided
(Mitigation
Measure
4.C-2c);
Provision
of
a
mosaic
of
native
habitat
types
that
support
fauna
or
the
surrounding
area
(Mitigation
Measure
4.C-4a);
Provision
of
habitat
linkages
between
upland
habitats
and
the
San
Francisco
Bay,
and
between
upland
habitats
long
the
Bay
shoreline
(Mitigation
Measure
4.C-4a);
and
Programs
to

attraction
of

and

(Mitigation
Measure

Chapter
4
of
the
Final
EIR
sets
forth
how
these
mitigation
measures
will
be
implemented
and
monitored.
As
presented
in
Final
EIR
Chapter
4.0,
all
plans
and
monitoring
involving
implementation
of
these
mitigation
measures
are
required
to
be
undertaken
by
qualified
biologists.
The
City’s
procedures
for
determining
completion
of
these
mitigation
measures
will
be
considered
by
the
City
Council
as
part
of
its
review
and
approval
of
the
Mitigation
Monitoring
and
Reporting
Program.
The
recommendations
set
forth
in
this
comment
will
be
considered
by
the
City
Council
as
part
of
its
review
and
approval
of
the
Mitigation
Monitoring
and
Reporting
Program.
Mitigation
Measure
4.C-4b
addresses
separation
between
development
and
habitat
areas.
As
stated
in
that
measure
fencing
would
be
provided
only
if
adequate
separation
could
not
be
provided.
Thus,
providing
needed
separation
is
preferred
over
use
of
fencing.
However,
in
the
case
of
the
DSP
and
DSP-V
concept
plan
scenarios,
both
of
which
proposed
residential
uses,
Mitigation
Measure
4.C-4b
notes
that
“fencing
would
provide
a
barrier
to
exclude
cats,
dogs,
and
other
household
pets,
which
are
not
effectively
deterred
by
buffers.”
Thus,
physical
separation
through
use
of
fencing
would
only
be
provided
where
adequate
separation
cannot
be
feasibly
provided.
The
fence
type
specified
in
Mitigation
Measure
4.C-4c
would
only
be
provided
where
perimeter
fences
or
walls
would
not
be
appropriate
and
therefore
not
required
for
the
adjacent
development
area.
All
buildings
within
the
Baylands
Project
Site
will
be
subject
to
the
City’s
design
review
process,
and
will
be
required
to
utilize
the
most
current
practices
in
aviation-strike
protection
that
are
available
at
the
time
buildings
permits
are
applied
for.
The
recommendations
set
forth
in
this
comment
for
additional
reviews
by
City
committees
and
outside
entities
will
be
considered
by
the
City
Council
as
part
of
its
review
and
approval
of
the
Mitigation
Monitoring
and
Reporting
Program.
