ATTY/RESO.0034/PC RESO RECOMMENDING CEQA APPROVAL – 505 E. BAYSHORE – EXHIBIT A REV: 05-12-23 JB Page 19 of 30 introduction of invasive weeds during and following project construction which could lead to degradation of muted tidal marsh habitat. Mitigation Measures. Mitigation Measure BIO-4.1 will be implemented for the Project as provided in the MMRP. Findings Regarding Impact BIO-4. The City Council hereby finds that incorporating the requirements of Mitigation Measure BIO-4.1 into the Project would substantially lessen the severity of Impact BIO-4, such that this potential impact would be less than significant, because these measures will require the use of invasive weed best management practices, such as the prohibition of highly invasive and/or noxious weeds for landscaping; use of weed-free seeds, straw, gravel, and fill material; the washing of vehicles and all equipment before entering the project footprint; and the planting of a standard erosion control seed mix. 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 46 through 77 of the DEIR, which includes a full statement of the impact and applicable mitigation measures and is hereby incorporated herein in its entirety. 5. Biological Resources Impact BIO-5: The Project would result in the permanent loss of muted tidal marsh habitat, which is potential habitat for salt marsh harvest mice and salt marsh wandering shrews.

Biological Resources Impact BIO-6: The Project could result in an impact to salt marsh harvest mice and salt marsh wandering shrews from an increase in predation due to increased available food waste, an increase in outdoor pets, and/or the presence of one or more feral cat feeding station(s). Mitigation Measures. Mitigation Measures BIO-6.1 through BIO-6.2 will be
