APPENDIX A: MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING PLAN <br />4043 <br />C <br />hAitigation Measure <br />ImplernenWIon+ Monitoring Entity finplementadur. <br />_ _ + <br />Monitoring Method Schodule <br />-J <br />(if necessary) to <br />removal or grading of rock outcroppings, debris piles, man-made structures, etc. <br />Removal of suitable tree roost sites shall be conducted by first removing limbs <br />be performed <br />smaller than 3 inches in diameter and peeling away loose bark. The tree shall then <br />prior to removal <br />be left overnight to allow any bats using the tree/snag to find another roost during <br />or grading of <br />their nocturnal activity period. A qualified biologist shall survey the trees/snags a <br />outcroppings <br />second time the following morning prior to felling and removal. <br />Trees shall be removed during the non -breeding season between September 1 <br />and March 1 to avoid disturbance to maternal colonies or individuals. To avoid take <br />of bats potentially night -roosting, all tree removal shall occur during daylight hours. <br />Mitigation Measure Biology -3: The applicant shall submit landscaping plans for <br />Planning, Housing, and <br />Planning, Housing, <br />Prior to building <br />the review and approval of the City of Redwood Planning, Housing, and Economic <br />Economic Development <br />and Economic <br />permit issuance <br />Development Department and the City Arborist prior to building permit issuance for <br />Department and City <br />Development <br />each phase of the project. A landscaping plan shall be submitted for the <br />Arborist to review and <br />Department and City <br />construction activities in Phase I, and separate landscaping plans shall be <br />approve landscaping plan <br />Arborist <br />submitted for each of the residences in Phase ll. The landscaping plan shall <br />indicate the species, placement, and size of all new proposed trees and shrubs. <br />The landscaping plan shall be required to meet the species, placement, and <br />minimum size requirements as outlined by the City Arborist. Minimum tree size for <br />replacement trees shall be no smaller than 15 gallons. The landscaping plan shall <br />also indicate which of the younger existing trees on the site may be suitable for <br />transplantation. Tree transplantation may be required at the discretion of the City <br />Arborist. Mitigation Measure Biology -3 indicates that the minimum replacement <br />tree size shall be 15 gallons. Studies have shown that the growth rate of such <br />smaller sized trees often exceeds that of more mature 24 -inch box or 36 -inch box <br />specimens, likely due to the younger tree's greater ability to adapt to its new <br />environment. While a 24 -inch or 36 -inch box tree may be able to provide greater <br />screening initially, 15 -gallon trees tend to provide mature screening in a shorter <br />span of time. <br />Mitigation Measure Biology -4: Covenants, Codes, and Restrictions (CC&Rs) <br />Planning, Housing, and <br />Planning, Housing, <br />Prior to final <br />shall be developed by the applicant in coordination with appropriate Redwood City <br />Economic Development <br />and Economic <br />building permit <br />staff and a qualified biologist, and in compliance with USFWS and CDFG <br />Department; Building, <br />Development <br />sign off and <br />regulations, to minimize the biological resource impacts of post -development land <br />Infrastructure, and <br />Department; Building, <br />occupancy of the <br />use and alteration, landscaping activities, and property -owner pesticide and/or <br />Transportation Department; <br />Infrastructure, and <br />first residence <br />biocide use during and after project development. <br />City Attorney; and <br />Transportation <br />biological consultant to <br />Department <br />review CC&Rs <br />A-8 Laurel Way Planned Development Revised Final EIR <br />February 2013 <br />
