These measures shall be included as <br />conditions of approval for the project and be incorporated into building and grading <br />permits issued for demolition and construction. If a water feature is found to be <br />jurisdictional or potentially jurisdictional, the applicant shall comply with the <br />appropriate permitting process with each agency claiming jurisdiction prior to <br />disturbance of the water feature. The project applicant or sponsor shall ensure that, <br />if development of habitat occupied by special-status species, migratory or nesting <br />birds must occur as determined by a qualified Biologist and/or Wetland Regulatory <br />Specialist, species impacts shall be avoided or minimized, and, if required by a <br />regulatory agency or the CEQA process, loss of wildlife habitat or individual plants <br />shall be fully compensated on a site. If on-site mitigation is not feasible in the City’s <br />or regulatory agency’s discretion, it shall occur within the City of Pleasanton <br />Planning Area whenever possible, with a priority given to existing habitat mitigation <br />banks. Habitat mitigation shall be accompanied by a long-term management plan <br />and monitoring program prepared by a qualified Biologist and include provisions for <br />protection of mitigation lands in perpetuity through the establishment of easements <br />and adequate funding for maintenance and monitoring; the time frame for the <br />funding shall be detailed in the long-term management plan and monitoring program <br />completed prior to disturbance of occupied habitats. Additionally, the proposed <br />project would be required to preserve an equivalent amount of California tiger <br />salamander upland dispersal habitat pursuant to mitigation C-2 of the Vineyard <br />Avenue Corridor Specific Plan. <br /> <br /> <br />• MM GEO-6: A professional paleontologist, approved by the City of <br />Pleasanton, shall conduct a site-specific paleontological resources survey on the <br />potential sites for rezoning. <br />If any of the potential sites for rezoning are found to be underlain by older <br />Quaternary deposits, or any other soil with the potential to contain vertebrate fossils <br />due to their high paleontological sensitivity for significant resources, applicants, <br />owners and/or sponsors of all future development or construction projects shall be <br />required to perform or provide paleontological monitoring, if recommended by the <br />qualified paleontologist. Should significant paleontological resources (e.g., bones, <br />teeth, well-preserved plant elements) be unearthed by a future project construction <br />crew, project activities shall be diverted at least 15 feet from the discovered <br />paleontological resources until a professional paleontologist has assessed such <br />discovered resources to determine whether they are significant and significant <br />resources shall be salvaged in a timely manner. The applicant/owner/sponsor of <br />said project shall be responsible for diverting project work and providing the <br />assessment including retaining a professional paleontologist for such purpose. <br />Collected fossils shall be deposited by the applicant/owner/sponsor in an <br />appropriate repository where the collection shall be properly curated and made <br />available for future research (e.g., University of California Museum of Paleontology <br />(UCMP), California Academy of Sciences). <br /> <br />• MM NOI-1: Prior to issuance for building permits for a project, for any development <br />project on potential sites for housing that would include any noise producing <br />mechanical systems located within 25 feet of a property line, the project applicant <br />shall retain a Noise Specialist to conduct a site-specific project-level noise analysis <br />to evaluate compliance with Section 9.04.030 of the Municipal Code, which prohibits
