Initial Study and Negative Declaration <br />wetlands or creeks occur on the project site. The proposed development would <br />remove all but three existing trees on the project site. These trees are located to <br />the north of the proposed northern driveway. In addition, four heritage trees <br />would be removed from the Hopyard Road median to allow for construction of the <br />left -turn lane extension. <br />STANDARDS OF SIGNIFICANCE <br />For purposes of this environmental document, an impact is considered significant if <br />the proposed project would: <br />• Adversely affect, either directly or through habitat modification, any <br />endangered, threatened or rare species, as listed in Title 14 of the California <br />Code of Regulations (Sections 670.5) or in Title 50, Code of Regulations <br />(Sections 17.11 or 17.12) or their habitats (including but not limited to plants, <br />fish, insects, animals, and birds); <br />• Have a substantial adverse impact, either directly or through habitat <br />modification, on any species identified as a candidate, sensitive or special - <br />status species in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations or by the <br />California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) or U.S. Fish and Wildlife <br />Service (USFWS); <br />• Have a substantial adverse impact on any riparian habitat or other sensitive <br />natural community identified in local or regional plans, policies, regulations <br />or by the CDFW or USFWS; <br />• Adversely affect federally protected wetlands (including but not limited to <br />marsh, vernal pool, coastal, etc.) either individually or in combination with <br />the known or probable impacts of other activities through direct removal, <br />filling, hydrological interruption, or other means; <br />• Interfere substantially with the movement of any resident or migratory fish or <br />wildlife species or with established resident or migratory wildlife corridors, or <br />impede the use of wildlife nursery sites; or, <br />• Conflict with any local or regional policies or ordinances designed to protect <br />or enhance biological resources, such as a tree preservation policy or <br />ordinance. <br />Issues <br />Potentially <br />Significant <br />Impact <br />Less Than <br />Significant <br />Impact With Less Than <br />Mitigation Significant No <br />Incorporated Impact Impact <br />Biological Resources <br />Would the project: <br />al Have a substantial adverse effect. either directly <br />x <br />22 <br />
