4.C-4f: Prior to tree removal, trimming of trees or shrubs or soil disturbance for site grading, a survey of suitable nesting habitat shall be conducted by an avian biologist familiar with Bay Area species and habitats to map the location of vegetation that could support avian species. If ground-disturbing activities or vegetation removal are proposed during the breeding bird season (January 1 through September 15), to avoid direct losses of nests, eggs, and nestlings and indirect impacts on avian breeding success, a qualified avian biologist shall survey active sites for nesting raptors and passerine birds not more than 14 days prior to the ground-disturbing activity or vegetation removal.

Surveys shall include all trees in line-of-sight and within 500 feet of construction for raptors, and all vegetation (including bare ground within 250 feet) for all other species. If active nests are found, tree removal or tree trimming and construction activities, including soil disturbance, construction noise, increased human presence, would be halted and the nest would be monitored by a qualified biologist who shall verify when the nestlings have fledged and left the nest.

The City Engineer shall not issue any permits for grading or other ground- disturbing activities that would result in removal or trimming of trees or shrubs that could serve as nesting habitat during the breeding bird season (January 1 through September 15) unless a survey in compliance with Mitigation Measure 4.C-4f has been completed by a qualified avian biologist not more than 14 days prior to the ground-disturbing activity or vegetation removal documenting that nesting birds will not be affected  by the proposed activities.

4.C-4g: Applicants for site specific development projects pursuant to an approved specific plan within the Project Site shall take the following measures to avoid direct mortality of roosting special-status bats and disturbance of maternity roosts or winter hibernacula:

  • A bat biologist familiar with Bay Area species shall conduct surveys of all potential bat habitat, including areas suitable for maternity roosts and/or winter hibernacula within a site proposed for development prior to initiation of construction activities, including initial grading. Surveys shall be conducted within one year prior to construction to capture current bat habitats at the site, as presence of bats could vary yearly and survey results several years before impacts occur could be inaccurate. Potentially suitable habitat shall be located visually. Bat emergence counts shall be made at dusk as the bats depart from any suitable habitat. In addition, an

Applicants for site specific development

City of Brisbane Community Development Director

The City Community Development Director shall review the surveys required by Mitigation Measure 4.C-4g for compliance with the requirements of the mitigation measure.

Should the surveys determine that bats could be affected by proposed development, the Community Development Director shall consult with CDFW to determine appropriate buffer areas and other requirements.

The City Engineer shall not issue any permits for

Permits for grading or other ground-disturbing activities, or for building demolition that avoid impacts to bats per the provisions of Mitigation Measure 4.C-4g.
