City of Pleasanton—Villages at the Quarry Project <br />15183 Consistency Checklist Consistency Checklist <br /> <br /> <br /> 81 <br />not contain suitable dense shrubs and brush to provide nesting habitat for this <br />species. Approval of the proposed project would be conditioned upon <br />compliance with recommendations provided in the project-specific BRA <br />(MM BIO-1). This includes avoidance and minimization measures for special- <br />status species, as well as for migratory and nesting birds, including <br />loggerhead shrike. With adherence to project-specific recommendations, <br />impacts to this species would be less than significant. <br />Protected Functional Groups <br />Nesting Birds <br />No unique biological features are present on-site to support migratory and/or <br />nesting birds. However, on-site and adjacent trees could provide marginally <br />suitable nesting habitat for special-statutes bird species, as well as birds <br />protected by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) and Fish and Game Code <br />Section 3503.5. Because of the lack of suitable habitat and high level of <br />disturbance, the presence of special-status bird species would be considered <br />low. Construction activities that occur during the nesting season (generally <br />February 1 to August 31) could disturb special-status species. The MBTA and <br />California Fish and Game Code protect native, special-status species that <br />may reside on or adjacent to the project site. <br />Approval of the proposed project would be conditioned upon compliance <br />with recommendations provided in the project-specific BRA (MM BIO-1). This <br />includes species-specific avoidance and minimization measures to migratory <br />birds and nursery sites. Implementation of these conditions, including pre- <br />construction surveys, would ensure that any potential biological resource <br />impacts remain less than significant as described in the Housing Element <br />Update FEIR. <br />Therefore, the proposed project would not result in any significant <br />environmental effects that are peculiar to the proposed project. The <br />proposed project would not result in a new or more severe adverse impact <br />that was not previously identified in the Housing Element Update FEIR.
