- 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.
Page 4.C-56 BBCAG-298[See page 5-150 for the original comment] REVISE Mitigation Measure 4.C-4b as follows.
Mitigation Measure 4.C-4b: Development in the Baylands shall be subject to a requirement for a Marsh Wildlife and Habitat Protection Plan for the Project to be prepared as part of the specific plan process prior to approval of any site-specific development projects. The Habitat Protection Plan shall be prepared by a qualified biologist and subject to approval by the Brisbane Community Development Department and must be implemented prior to or concurrently with construction of development projects in the Baylands. The Plan shall provide for accommodating the hydrologic effects of 100 years of projected sea level rise, recognize potential negative effects of rodent population management programs, and include (but not be limited to), the following components:
- To minimize the effect of night lighting on wetland habitats adjacent to Project Site development, the following shall apply in the vicinity of wetlands located north of the lagoon, development north and south of the Visitacion Creek channel, and any development adjacent to freshwater wetlands in the western portion of the Project Site:
- Street lighting shall be provided only at intersections.
- Low-intensity street lamps and low elevation lighting poles shall be provided.
- Internal silvering of the globe or external opaque reflectors shall be provided to direct light away from preserved wetland or open water habitats.
- In addition, private sources of illumination around homes (for DSP and DSP-V only) shall also be directed and/or shaded to minimize glare into these habitats.
- Residential and commercial leases within the Project Site shall prohibit building occupants from creating outdoor feeding stations for feral cats to prevent feral cat colonies from establishing and to prevent the attraction of other predatory wildlife such as red fox, raccoon, or opossums. Such restrictions shall be monitored by a
