4.C-1d: The following steps shall be taken to avoid direct losses of nests, eggs, and nestlings and indirect impacts to special status avian species.

Vegetation removal including removal of trees and shrubs as part of site development shall be confined to the non-breeding season, except as provided for below. Grading or ground disturbance activities associated with site development including site remediation activities shall occur after pre-construction protocol burrowing owl surveys are conducted as described below and in the 2012 CDFW Staff Report on Burrowing Owls.

• If removal of trees and shrubs or disturbance to trees and shrubs (i.e., tree removal, tree trimming) is proposed to occur between January 1 and September 15, a qualified avian biologist shall survey any trees proposed to be removed or trimmed during the nesting season (i.e., January 1 through September 15) to determine if active nests are present. Surveys shall occur not more than 14 days prior to tree removal or trimming. If active nests are found, tree removal and/or tree trimming shall be conducted only after the young have left the nest and the nest is no longer in use. Confirmation that the nest is no longer in use shall be provided by a qualified biologist familiar with the species.

  If the qualified avian biologist identifies active nests, a no disturbance buffer of 150 feet shall be established and monitored by a qualified avian biologist, with authority to stop work in the event construction activities encroach within the disturbance buffer thus ensuring that impacts to nesting birds would not occur.

  Survey and monitoring reports shall be submitted to City staff for review: preconstruction survey reports shall be submitted prior to initiating construction activities; monitoring reports shall be submitted weekly until activities associated with nest habitat removal or disturbance activities are completed.

Baylands developer, applicants for site-specific development

City of Brisbane Community Development Director

The City Community Development Director shall prepare conditions of approval for site-specific development projects requiring that (1) pre- construction protocol burrowing owl surveys are conducted and in the 2012 CDFW Staff Report on Burrowing Owls, (2) if active owl burrows are identified their presence is reported to the CDFW, and

(3) removal of trees and shrubs be confined to the non-breeding season, except as provided for in Mitigation Measure 4.C-1d.

If constructed artificial burrows shall be monitored by a biologist with expertise in the species selected by the Community Development Director annually for a period of five years to confirm continuing occupation or the burrows, with monitoring reports to be forwarded to the CDFW.

The City Building Official shall not issue permits for site grading or other ground-disturbing activities without clearance from the Community Development Director that the provisions of Mitigation Measure 4.C- 1d have been met.

Issuance of permits for grading and other ground disturbing activities following completion of required survey and monitoring reports in compliance with Mitigation Measure 4.C-1d.
