Development must incorporate sustainability features, including <br />features that minimize energy and water use, limit carbon <br />emissions, provide opportunities for local power generation and <br />food production, and provide areas for recreation. <br /> <br />· The development must provide a measurable and/or clearly <br />identifiable community benefit in the form of affordable housing, <br />jobs generation, available parkland or open space, environmental <br />hazard protection, and/or other criteria established by the City. <br /> <br />Environmental Review. Require environmental review of individual <br />development applications pursuant to the California Environmental Quality <br />Act (CEQA.) The City will require that such review assess potential impacts <br />to sensitive ecological and biological resources. The As a first appra3ER to <br />pretectiRg reS9~rces, the City will look for development approaches that <br />avoid sensitive habitat and wildlife corridors. However. Wwhere avoidance <br />is not possible, the City will require habitat enhancement or restoration, off- <br />site mitigation, or any combination of these appre3ches~. The Citv <br />acknowledges that as an alternative to comolete avoidance. other solutions <br />emohasizing enhancement and restoration mav result in the establishment <br />of larger habitat areas or habitat of suoerior aualitv. In such cases. these <br />aporoaches may be determined to be suoerior to avoidance. -Use CEQA <br />infill exemptions in precise plan and corridor areas, and as otherwise may <br />be allowed pursuant to S8 375. <br /> <br />Tinle Franle: Ongoing <br />Responsible Agency: Planning Division <br />Funding Source: General Fund <br /> <br />Program NR-23: Sensitive Species Identification. For new development prep9sals <br />aoplications in the City iAterferiAg prooosed for ~sensitive hillside or <br />bayfront areas, require qualified biologists to identify and map all sensitive <br />biological resources on the pre;jeEt site, including local, State and federally <br />sensitive, rare, threatened and endangered plant, fish and wildlife species <br />and their habitats; using methods and protocols in accordance with the U.S. <br />Fish and Wildlife Service, California Department of Fish and Game, and <br />California Native Plant Society; and make recommendations for avoiding <br />sensitive biological resources to the ma)Eim~m extent~ feasible. These <br />requirements shall be satisfied prior to City Council consideration of any <br />development proposal for the site. <br /> <br />Agency/Departnlent: Planning Division <br />Time Frame: Ongoing <br />Funding Source: Developer Fees <br />
