3.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST <br />regional, or state habitat conservation plan (San Leandro 2016b). Therefore, the project <br />would not conflict with any such plan and there would be no impact. <br />Mitigation Measures <br />MM 13I0-1 Construction of the project and any other site -disturbing activities that would <br />involve vegetation or tree removal shall be prohibited during the general avian <br />nesting season (February 1 to August 31), if feasible. If nesting season <br />avoidance is not feasible, the project applicant shall retain a qualified biologist, <br />as approved by the City of San Leandro, to conduct a preconstruction nesting <br />bird survey to determine the presence/absence, location, and activity status <br />of any active nests on or adjacent to the project site. The extent of the survey <br />buffer area surrounding the site shall be established by the qualified biologist to <br />ensure direct and indirect effects to nesting birds are avoided. To avoid the <br />destruction of active nests and to protect the reproductive success of birds <br />protected by the MBTA and California Fish and Game Code, nesting bird <br />surveys shall be performed not more than 14 days prior to scheduled <br />vegetation clearance and structure demolition. In the event that active nests <br />are discovered, a suitable buffer (typically a minimum buffer of 50 feet for <br />passerines and a minimum buffer of 250 feet for raptors) shall be established <br />around such active nests and no construction shall be allowed in the buffer <br />areas until a qualified biologist has determined that the nest is no longer active <br />(i.e., the nestlings have fledged and are no longer reliant on the nest). No <br />ground -disturbing activities shall occur in this buffer until the qualified biologist <br />has confirmed that breeding/nesting is complete and the young have fledged <br />the nest. Nesting bird surveys are not required for construction activities <br />occurring between September 1 and January 31. <br />City of San Leandro <br />November 2018 <br />Timing/Implementation: Prior to construction <br />Enforcement/Monitoring: City of San Leandro Community Development <br />Department <br />1388 Bancroft Avenue Project <br />Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration <br />3.0-2 5 <br />
