City of Pleasanton—Merritt Property Project <br />15183 Consistency Checklist Consistency Checklist <br /> <br /> <br /> 73 <br />The BRA shall include a project-specific analysis of potential <br />impacts on all biological resources, including impacts on special- <br />status species and their habitat, migratory birds and other <br />protected nesting birds, roosting bats, rare plants, sensitive <br />communities, protected waters and wetlands (analyze project- <br />specific compliance with Clean Water Act [CWA], Porter- <br />Cologne Water Quality Act, and Fish and Game Code, as <br />applicable), wildlife corridors and nursery sites. The BRA shall <br />develop and define prescriptive and site-specific measures <br />reducing potential impacts to a less than significant level. These <br />measures shall be included as Conditions of Approval for the <br />project and be incorporated into building and grading permits <br />issued for demolition and construction. If a water feature is found <br />to be jurisdictional or potentially jurisdictional, the applicant shall <br />comply with the appropriate permitting process with each <br />agency claiming jurisdiction prior to disturbance of the water <br />feature. <br />The project applicant or sponsor shall ensure that, if <br />development of habitat occupied by special-status species, <br />migratory or nesting birds must occur as determined by a <br />qualified Biologist and/or Wetland Regulatory Specialist, species <br />impacts shall be avoided or minimized, and, if required by a <br />regulatory agency or the CEQA process, loss of wildlife habitat or <br />individual plants shall be fully compensated on a site. If on-site <br />mitigation is not feasible in the City’s or regulatory agency’s <br />discretion, it shall occur within the City of Pleasanton Planning <br />Area whenever possible, with a priority given to existing habitat <br />mitigation banks. Habitat mitigation shall be accompanied by a <br />long-term management plan and monitoring program prepared <br />by a qualified Biologist and include provisions for protection of <br />mitigation lands in perpetuity through the establishment of <br />easements and adequate funding for maintenance and <br />monitoring; the time frame for the funding shall be detailed in <br />the long-term management plan and monitoring program <br />completed prior to disturbance of occupied habitat. <br />BRA Conditions of Approval <br />Approval of the proposed project would be conditioned upon <br />compliance with recommendations provided in the project- <br />specific Biological Resources Analysis (BRA) (MM BIO-1).
