Place
bird
attractants,
such
as
bird
feeders
and
baths,
at
least
three
feet
and
preferably
30
feet
or
more
from
windows
in
order
to
reduce
collision
mortality.
A
report
of
the
design
measures
considered
and
adopted
shall
be
provided
to
the
City
of
Brisbane
Planning
Department
for
review
and
approval
prior
to
construction.
The
City
of
Brisbane
Planning
Department
shall
ensure
that
building
design
related
measures
to
reduce
the
risk
of
bird
collisions
have
been
incorporated
to
the
extent
practicable.
In
addition
to
the
US
101
freeway,
the
analysis
on
page
4.A-41
addresses
“nearby
residential
neighborhoods.”
Mitigation
Measure
4.A-4b
addresses
daytime
glare
by
requiring
building
exteriors
to
be
composed
on
non-reflective
materials,
limiting
the
amount
of
reflective
glass
permitted
on
any
wall,
and
setting
performance
standards
for
the
reflectivity
of
such
glass.
Thus,
daytime
glare
impacts
will
be
reduced
to
less
than
significant
along
the
US
101
freeway
and
within
Brisbane’s
residential
neighborhoods.

As
noted
in
that
Master
Response,
the
biological
resources
analysis
included
in
the
Draft
EIR
was
developed
using
2010
as
the
baseline
year,
meaning
that
the
analysis
was
based
on
conditions
at
the
Baylands
in
the
year
2010.
(Please
also
see
7
for
a
discussion
of
the
rationale
for
the
2010
base
year
used
in
the
Draft
EIR.)
It
is
acknowledged
that
wetlands
within
the
Baylands
have
established
over
time
and
continue
to
change
annually
in
response
to
rainfall
patterns.
Thus,
the
appearance
year-over-year
of
a
given
wetland
area
can
vary
depending
on
rainfall
and
duration
of
inundation.
The
reconnaissance
surveys
conducted
at
the
Baylands
for
the
Draft
EIR
were
timed
to
maximize
observations
of
all
biological
resources
including
wetlands.
Biologists
surveying
the
site
observed
vegetation,
soils,
and
any
existing
hydrology
and
used
professional
judgment
to
determine
the
extent
of
wetlands
on
the
Baylands.
The
level
of
field
study
and
review
of
existing
data
undertaken
for
the
Draft
EIR
was
thus
sufficient
to
provide
the
basis
for
an
impact
analysis
of
the
four
Concept
Plan
scenarios.
As
discussed
9
regarding
wetlands,
a
new
performance
standard
is
included
in
revisions
to
page
4.C-50
of
the
Draft
EIR,
requiring
the
mitigation
for
wetlands
be
based
on
(1)
the
wetland
area
indicated
in
the
Brisbane
Baylands
Final
EIR,
which
reflects
the
average
extent
of
wetland
area
present
over
a
20-year
period
or
(2)
the
wetland
areas
mapped
as
part
of
the
formal
delineation
process
specified
under
the
Clean
Water
Act,
whichever
is
larger.
