8.A. - Page 103 detected during the pre-construction surveys, a no-disturbar�ce bvffer zone shall be designated and maintained around the nest untii a qualified biotogist has determined that the young have fledged from the nest. The size of the no-disturbance zone shall be determir�ed in consul#ation vvith the CDFG. MM BIQ-2.2: A minimum of one preconstruction bat survey shall be conducted by a qualified bat biolog�st(a biologist holding a CDFG collection permit and a Memorandum af Understanding wi#h CDFG allowing the biologist to handle and collect bats)shall be canducted prior to tree removal ar deraolition activities. If no bats are detected,then no further surveys are required. However, if bats are detected in a tree or struciure on the site,the bats shal9 be passively excluded/evicted fro�n the roost area for twa cansecuti�u� days. Ttee removal andlor demolition shalI occ�ar not Iess than the day fallowing the two consecutive days of exclusionlevictian. Finding: Implementation of MM BTO—2.1 and 2.2 wou3d reduce impacts from the project to nesting birds and bats to a less than significant level. Facts in Support of Finding: Implementation of MM BIQ—2.1 and 2.2 would reduce the project's impact to nesting birds and bats through avoidance or completion of pre-constructian surveys to avoid disturbing or destroying active nests,as described in Section 2.b— Biological Resources afthe Draft EIR on pages 92-lOq, which is hereby incorporated by reference. Impact: Tmpact BIO—3: The project will remove 10 trees, including two dead trees. Mitigation: MM BIO-3: Implementation of replacement plantings in conformance with a final landscape plan reviewed and approved by the City Arbarist, will reduce impacts from tree removal on the site ta a less than significant level. Priar to removing any trees defined as an ordinance size under the Ciiy of Redwood City's Tree Preservation Ordinance,the app3icant shall apply for a tree remova] permit. Under the Ordinance, the�alue of the tree to be ramoved, as determined by a certified arborist, must be replaced with the p�anting of new trees. The replanting of a minimum of one new tree for each tree remaved is a general condition of a tree remaval permit. The appiicant has proposed a replacement program for tree removal at a ratia of approximately 5 to l. Finding: Implementatian of MM BCO—3 would reduce impacts from removat of mature trees and reduce impacts ta existing trees to be preserved. Facts in Support of Fending: Implementation of MM BIO—3 would reduce impacts from the loss of mature trees by requiring planting of replacament trees, as described in Sectian 2.6 —Siological Resources of the Draft EIR on pages 92-1�4, which is hereby incorparated by refer�nce. 3
