action other than avoidance will be taken without CDFG consultation. Completion of the nesting cycle will be determined by a qualified ornithologist or biologist, as determined by the City. The buffer zone will be delineated by highly visible temporary construction fencing, and no intensive disturbance (e.g., heavy equipment operation associated with construction, use of cranes or draglines, new rock crushing activities) or other project related activities that could cause nest abandonment or forced fledging, will be initiated within the established buffer zone of an active nest. If the project is built in phases, this condition of approval will be implemented for each phase of development. 12. Archaeological Resources. Prior to the issuance of a grading permit or building permit for the project, the services of a qualified archaeological consultant having expertise in California prehistoric archaeology will be retained. The archaeological consultant will determine if planned development could potentially impact important archaeological resources and will then design an appropriate archaeological monitoring program. Upon completing the archaeological monitoring program, the archaeological consultant will submit a written report of findings first and directly to the Director of Community Development. At a minimum, the archaeological monitoring program will include the following: a. An archaeological monitor will be on site during native soils disturbing activities. b. The archaeological consultant will advise all project contractors to be on the alert for evidence of expected resources, of how to identify the evidence of the expected resources, and of the appropriate protocol in the event of discovering an archaeological resource. c. The archaeological monitor will be present on the Staples Ranch site until the Director of Community Development, in consultation with the archaeological consultant, determines that project construction activities could have no effects on significant archaeological resources. d. The archaeological monitor will record and be authorized to collect soil samples and artifactual/ecofactual material as warranted for analysis. e. If an intact archaeological deposit were to be encountered, all soils disturbing activities in the vicinity of the deposit shall cease. The City will empower the archaeological monitor to temporally redirect demolition/excavation/construction crews and heavy equipment until the resource is evaluated. The archaeological consultant will immediately notify the Director of Community Development of the encountered resources. Conditions of Approval/PUD-80 Page 17 of 25
