alteration agreements prior to any grading or fill activities on areas determined to be within the jurisdiction of the US Army I~orl)S t)f Engineers or the California Del~llnen~ offish and Game. The Property Owner shall obtain! ally necessary 1603 Stre~mbed Alteration Agreements from the California Department ofFish and Game prio¢ to approval of grading permits for any grading activities. If the regulatory age~lci~ concur with the conclusions of the biological resources analysis that the fing~r tributary area does not meet the definition of a wetland and/or it does not constitute a significant habitat area then no further mitigation will be required. If it is det~'nlined the habitat is significant, a Streambed Alteration Agreement will provide mitigation to reduce the adverse impact to a less than significant level. b. Measure O2c was selected because: retaining the city creek channel in the conlex~ of adjacent land uses would effectively eliminate its habitat value; it is not a wetland; and conformity with permit requirements, including possible replacement habitat in a better site environmentally, is a superior choice. c. Alternative C of the Greenbriar Project would eliminate residential development in the East Parcel and eliminate impacts to creeks and channels in that area. Alternative B provides that the residential units in the East Parcel will be reduced in number to provide greater setbacks from the creeks and channels. d. The G-reenbriar Project Phase I impacts fewer acres of the project site than the Cooperative Plan or the Preferred Plan. Many areas with creeks and channels are undisturbed by Phase I, as these areas are located within the currently unplanned future public spaces, development of which will be subject to further environmental review. 3. [~L_Q~. Potential adverse effects on wetlands as a result of future development. Mi' tion Me ures: Measure O4a. Prior to the approval ora final grading, plan, verify and delineate the loc~tions of wetlands on the site. M~asure O4b. If wetlands that would be adversely affected by the project are delineated on the site as a result of Measure O4a, require the preparation ora mitigation plan, including an avoidance alternative, that will meet federal and state requirements prior to the approval of a final grading plan. F~d~: Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the Project which avoid or substantially lessen the significant environmental effect identified in the Final EIR to a less than significant level. Facts in Sunt~ort of Finding: The imlyaet will be avoided or reduced based on the following: 45
