Biological Resources The following measure would reduce impacts to nesting birds and raptors to a less than significant level: MM BIO -1 Construction should commence outside of the nesting season (February through August), if feasible. If it is not feasible to start project constriction outside of the nesting season, a qualified ornithologist shall complete a pre -construction survey to identify active raptor and/or migratory bird nests that may be disturbed during project construction. This survey shall be completed no more than 14 days prior to the initiation of demolition/construction activities during the early part of the breeding season (February through April) and no more than 30 days prior to the initiation of these activities during the late part of the breeding season (May through August), unless a shorter pre -constriction survey is determined to be appropriate based on the presence of a species with a shorter nesting period, such as Yellow Warblers. During this survey, the ornithologist will inspect all trees and other possible nesting habitats in and immediately adjacent to the construction areas for nests. If an active nest is found in an area that will be disturbed by construction, the ornithologist will designate a construction -free buffer zone to be established around the nest, in consultation with CDFW. The buffer would ensure that raptor and/or migratory bird nests will not be disturbed during project construction. The following measure would be implemented to avoid harming the trees to remain on-site upon completion of the project: MM BIO -2 • As required under the City's Tree Preservation Ordinance, a tree removal permit will be obtained from the Director of Parks and Recreation prior to cutting or removing trees on the project site. • Prior to commencement of construction, construction fencing shall be placed around the drip line of all trees proposed for preservation. • No grading or other construction shall occur within the drip line of any tree proposed for preservation except in conformance with a Tree Protection Plan approved by the City Arborist. • No vehicle, equipment or materials shall be parked or stored within the drip line of any tree proposed for preservation.
