To avoid <br />potential impacts, MM BIO-1a and MM BIO-1b require protocol-level surveys for burrowing owls per <br />CDFW guidelines and establishment of no-activity zones during nesting seasons. For nesting birds, <br />pre-construction surveys are required if vegetation removal occurs between February 1 and August <br />31. If active nests are found, appropriate buffers must be established and monitored. These <br />measures are designed to prevent nest abandonment and help to ensure reproductive success. <br />With no off-site utility improvements, Alternative 2 would avoid development in areas east of El <br />Charro Road where sensitive biological resources are present, reducing the potential for impacts on <br />wildlife and habitats. For this reason, biological impacts for Alternative 2 would be slightly lower than <br />the County Project, though mitigation for the residential component would still be required. (Draft EIR, <br />p. 6-13). Therefore, with respect to both the County Project and Alternative 2, the Prior FEIR <br />concluded that impacts would be less than significant with mitigation incorporated. (Draft EIR, pp. 3.3- <br />26, 6-13).
