(“Cumulatively considerable” <br />means that the incremental effects of a project <br />are considerable when viewed in connection <br />with the effects of past projects, the effects of <br />other current projects, and the effects of <br />probable future projects)? <br /> <br />c) Does the project have environmental effects, <br />which will cause substantial adverse effects on <br />human beings, either directly or indirectly? <br /> <br /> <br />Environmental Evaluation <br />a) Does the project have the potential to substantially degrade the quality of the environment, <br />substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife population to <br />drop below self-sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community, <br />substantially reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal, or <br />eliminate important examples of the major periods of California history or prehistory? <br />Less than significant impact with mitigation incorporated. Based on the analysis provided in Section <br />2.4, Biological Resources, the proposed project’s impacts related to special-status species would be <br />less than significant with mitigation incorporated. Additionally, the proposed project’s impacts on <br />trees would be less than significant with mitigation incorporated. Because there is a potential for <br />migratory birds, including protected birds and nesting raptors, to occur on the project site, MM BIO- <br />1 would be implemented. Implementation of MM BIO-1, which would require pre-construction <br />surveys and avoidance and minimization measures, would reduce impacts to special-status species. <br />Implementation of MM BIO-2, which would require the Applicant to adhere to the Tree Preservation <br />Guidelines, would reduce impacts to trees.
