City of Pleasanton <br />475 and 493 St. John Street Mixed-Use Project <br /> <br />28 <br /> Tree Protection Fencing. Prior to issuance of a grading or building permit, the applicant shall <br />install temporary 6-foot tall chain-link fencing (or other fence type acceptable to the Landscape <br />Architecture Division) outside of the existing tree drip lines. The location of the tree protection <br />fencing shall be shown on the demolition plans (if applicable), grading, building, and/or <br />landscape plans. The fencing shall remain in place until final landscape inspection by the <br />Landscape Architecture Division. Removal of such fencing prior to approval may result in a “stop <br />work order.” <br /> Project Plans. The following statements shall be printed on the demolition, grading and <br />landscape plans where applicable to the satisfaction of the City Landscape Architect prior to <br />issuance of building permits: <br /> No existing tree may be trimmed or pruned without prior approval by the City Landscape <br />Architect. <br /> Utilize best efforts to locate any new utility trenches outside of the existing canopy of the <br />trees to be saved. If this is not feasible, the applicant shall submit a report from a certified <br />arborist acceptable to the City indicating trenching will not be detrimental to the health of <br />the tree. <br /> Nothing may be stored within the dripline of the tree canopies. This includes equipment, oil, <br />gas, chemicals, harmful materials, fill or storage. <br /> No oil, gasoline, chemicals, or other harmful materials shall be deposited or disposed within <br />the dripline of the trees or in drainage channels, swales, or areas that may lead to the <br />dripline. <br /> No sign, wires, or ropes shall be attached to the trees. <br /> No stockpiling/storage of construction materials, fill, etc., shall take place underneath or <br />within 5-feet of the dripline of the existing trees. <br /> No equipment or temporary structures shall be placed within or beneath the dripline of the <br />existing trees. <br />With compliance with PMC Chapter 17.16 and City standard conditions of approval, the project <br />would not conflict with local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources, including a tree <br />preservation policy or ordinance. <br />Effects and Mitigation Measures <br />No new or substantially more severe significant effects would occur to biological resources, and no <br />new mitigation measures are necessary. The DSP policies and applicable City COAs, which were <br />required for the original project, would remain applicable. <br />Conclusion <br />Impacts would be less than significant, similar to impacts identified in the Final EIR for the DSP, and <br />no significant new or substantially increased biological resources impacts would occur compared to <br />those identified for the DSP.
