Preconstruction surveys for bats should be conducted within two weeks prior to the removal of any trees or structures that are deemed to have potential bat roosting habitat. If bats are detected on-site and would be impacted by the project,then appropriate mitigation measures would be developed through City consultation with the CDFW.Mitigation measures would include one or more of the following methods: using one-way doors to exclude non-breeding bats, opening up roof areas of structures to allow airflow that would deter bats from roosting,and taking individual trees down in sections to encourage bats to relocate to another roost site. Typically this work is conducted in the evening when bats are more active, and this work should be conducted under the guidance of an experienced bat biologist. c.Mitigation for impacts to a maternity bat roost,if detected,would be determined through consultation with CDFG and may include construction of structures that provide suitable bat roosting habitat(i.e. bat houses,bat condos)for the particular specie(s) impacted.
