Findings and Statements Required by the California Environmental Quality Act Redwood City Transit District DTPP Amendments 35 ESA / 202100421.00 Subsequent Environmental Impact Report October 2022 then the measure requires steps to be taken to avoid any significant impacts to nests based on consultation with the California Department of Fish and Game. Impact BIO-4: Implementation of the proposed Transit District DTPP Amendments would not interfere substantially with the movement of any native resident or migratory fish or wildlife species or with established native resident or migratory wildlife corridors, or impede the use of native wildlife nursery sites. Mitigation Measures. SEIR Mitigation Measure BIO-1 (FSEIR, p. 15-9) will be implemented for the Project as provided in the MMRP. Findings Regarding Impact BIO-4: Based on the FSEIR and the entire record before the City, the Council finds that Mitigation Measure BIO-1 would substantially lessen the severity of Impact BIO-4, such that this potential impact would be less than significant. Mitigation Measure BIO-1 would reduce the impact to potential nesting migratory birds to a less than significant level because it would require all tree removal or trimming and ground disturbing activities to be scheduled outside of the breeding season, or if that is not feasible, then the measure requires steps to be taken to avoid any significant impacts to nests based on consultation with the California Department of Fish and Game. Impact BIO-5: Implementation of the proposed Transit District DTPP Amendments would not conflict with local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources, such as a tree preservation policy or ordinance. Mitigation Measures. SEIR Mitigation Measure BIO-5 (FSEIR, p. 15-9) will be implemented for the Project as provided in the MMRP. Findings Regarding Impact BIO-5: Based on the FSEIR and the entire record before the City, the Council finds that Mitigation Measure BIO-5 would substantially lessen the severity of Impact BIO-5, such that this potential impact would be less than significant. Mitigation Measure BIO-5 would require than any project in the Transit District area that would involve the removal of any tree complete the application and review process specified in the City’s Tree Preservation Ordinance (Municipal Code chapter 35) prior to project approval. 16. Geology and Soils Impact GEO-2: Implementation of the proposed Transit District DTPP Amendments would not result in substantial soil erosion or the loss of topsoil. Mitigation Measures. SEIR Mitigation Measure GEO-2 (FSEIR, p. 16-10) will be implemented for the Project as provided in the MMRP. Findings Regarding Impact GEO-2: Based on the FSEIR and the entire record before the City, the Council finds that Mitigation Measure GEO-2 would substantially lessen the severity of Impact GEO-2, such that this potential impact would be less than significant.
