6. Biological Resources Impact BR -1: Development of the Project would have the potential to disturb pallid bat and western red bat, which could roost in on-site buildings and trees. Mitigation Measures. Mitigation Measures BR -la, BR -lb and BR -lc will be implemented for the Project as provided in the MMRP. Findings Regarding Impact BR -1. The City Council hereby finds that incorporating the requirements of Mitigation Measures BR -1 a, BR -1 b and BR -1 c into the Project would substantially lessen the severity of Impact BR -1, such that this potential impact would be less than significant, because these measures will require surveys to determine the presence of bats prior to any demolition or tree removal activities; avoidance of active bat roosts if feasible, and if avoidance is not feasible, compensation for any impacts to bats. This finding is based on the entire record of proceedings for the Project, including but not limited to the discussion and analysis set forth on pages 4.3-7 through 4.3-8 of the DEIR, which includes a full statement of the impact and applicable mitigation measures and is hereby incorporated herein in its entirety. 7. Biological Resources Impact BR -4: Development of the Project could affect nesting birds and/or pallid bat maternity colonies. Mitigation Measures. Mitigation Measures BR -4a and BR -4b will be implemented for the Project as provided in the MMRP. Findings Regarding Impact BR -4. The City Council hereby finds that incorporating the requirements of Mitigation Measures BR -4a and BR -4b into the Project would substantially lessen the severity of Impact BR -4, such that this potential impact would be less than significant, because these measures will require surveys to determine the presence of nesting birds or bats prior to specified construction activities; implementation of specific measures to avoid nesting bird impacts; and avoidance of active bat roosts if feasible and if avoidance is not feasible, compensation for any impacts to bats. This finding is based on the entire record of proceedings for the Project, including but not limited to the discussion and analysis set forth on pages 4.3-7 through 4.3-10 of the DEIR, which includes a full statement of the impact and applicable mitigation measures and is hereby incorporated herein in its entirety. 8. Cultural Resources Impact CR -2: Development of the Project could cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of an archaeological resource pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.5. Mitigation Measures. Mitigation Measures CR -2a and CR -2b will be implemented for the Project as provided in the MMRP. Findings Regarding Impact CR -2. The City Council hereby finds that incorporating the requirements of Mitigation Measures CR -2a and CR -2b into the Project would substantially lessen the severity of Impact CR -2, such that this potential impact would be less than significant, because this measure requires (a) training of construction crews to identify cultural resources, (b) halting all work if such resources are ATTY/RESO.0036/PC RESO CERTIFYING THE EIR— SOBRATO REV: 04-29-19 PR Page 18 of 29
