4.C-4e: During design of any building greater than 100 feet tall, the applicant and architect shall consult with a qualified biologist experienced with urban building bird strikes design issues (as approved by the City of Brisbane Planning Department) to identify measures related to the external appearance of the building to minimize the risk of bird strikes. Such measures, which may include the following and/or other measures, shall reflect most current practice in in bird strike protection, and be incorporated into the building’s design:

• Treat all windows to decrease reflectivity, including use of non-reflective tinted glass.
• Use window films to make windows visible to birds from the outside.
• Use of outdoor lighting and colors of lighting that increase visibility of buildings to birds without substantially increasing energy consumption or decreasing public safety.
• Use external surfaces/designs that break up reflective surfaces.
• 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.
