4.C-1a: Prior to construction, or any other Project Site development-related ground disturbance activities on Icehouse Hill, the applicant shall conduct pre- construction presence/absence surveys for special- status plants. Initial surveys at Icehouse Hill shall be carried out in conjunction with surveys for endangered butterfly host plants as described in Mitigation Measure 4.C-1c. Surveys would be implemented to determine if a special-status plant species has colonized the site in the interim between the determination of baseline conditions for this EIR, and project initiation, as well as to provide site-specific direction for final trail routing and design to avoid sensitive plant species (see Mitigation Measures 4.C-1b and 4.C-1c). Surveys shall be conducted in accordance with CNPS and CDFW rare plant survey guidelines and shall be conducted during the flowering period when each species is most readily identifiable. In order to capture variability of special-status plant species distribution, three special-status plant surveys shall be conducted at two-week intervals during the appropriate flowering period (April to June), before commencement of any development activities on Icehouse Hill. Any special-status plant populations shall be mapped in the field (see Mitigation Measure 4.C-1b). If the presence of any special-status plant species is confirmed, a copy of the survey results shall be forwarded to CDFW, and Mitigation Measure 4.C-1b shall be implemented. In the event that special-status plants are not identified within development areas, including areas used for construction, the additional mitigation identified in Mitigation Measure 4.C-1b is not required. |
Baylands developer |
City of Brisbane Community Development Director |
The City Community Development Director shall prepare conditions of approval for site-specific development projects requiring completion of the pre-construction presence/ absence surveys for special-status plants on Icehouse Hill required by Mitigation Measure 4-1a prior to initiation of any grading or other ground disturbing activities on Icehouse Hill. In the event that special- status plants are identified on Icehouse Hill, the Community Development Director shall ensure that the additional mitigation requirements identified in Mitigation Measure 4.C- 1b are implemented. The Community Development Director shall review the report documenting presence/ absence for special-status plants on Icehouse Hill. Such report shall: i. Demonstrate surveys were conducted by a qualified biologist familiar with the sensitive species potentially present on Icehouse Hill in accordance with CNPS and CDFW rare plant survey guidelines and were be conducted |
