ered by this approval. This information shall be submitted to the Director of Planning for review and approval prior to occupancy of the first unit. 51. The project developer shall work with the Planning staff and with representatives of the Sacramento Municipal Utility District to develop a program for the bulk purchase of photovoltaic panels/equipment for this project. This information shall be brought back to the Planning Commission for its review with the tentative subdivision map. Existing Trees: 52. No trees shall be removed other than those specifically designated for removal in the "Schedule of Trees to be Removed Hahner". The project developer shall post cash, letter of credit, or other security satisfactory to the Planning Director in the amount of $5,000.00 for each tree required to be preserved, up to a maximum of $25,000.00. This cash bond or security shall be retained for one-year following acceptance of public im- provements or completion of construction, whichever is later, and shall be forfeited if the trees are destroyed or substantially damaged. 53. Construction of the proposed project could result in the disturbance of active raptor nests, which are protected under California State Fish and Game (CSFG) Code Section Code Section 3503.5. If grading is to begin during the raptor nesting season (February 1 to August 31), a focused survey for raptor nests shall be conducted by a qualified biologist during the nesting season. The survey shall be conducted no less than 14-days, and no more than 30-days, prior to the beginning of grading and/or tree removal. If nesting rap- tors are found during the focused survey, no grading or tree removal shall occur within 500-feet of an active nest until the young have fledged - as determined by a qualified bi- ologist - or until the project developer receives written from CSFG personnel to proceed. The written findings of the biologist shall be provided to the Planning Director within 30- days of the start of grading. 54. For the orchard trees and non-heritage/non-orchard trees to be removed in conjunction with this development, the project developer shall replace these trees on a replacement ra- tio of one, 24-inch box-size tree for each tree being removed. These replacement trees shall be in addition to the trees shown on the proposed landscape plans and shall be shown on the improvement plans for this development before issuance of a grading/on- site permit. 55. The project developer shall submit the improvement plans, tract grading plans, and build- ing permit construction plans to HortScience for review in order to determine that site- specific measures required to preserve the existing trees designated for preservation dur- ing construction are being implemented with the plans. The consultant's comments shall be submitted to the Planning Director and to the City's Landscape Architect and shall be incorporated onto the final site plans, grading plans, improvement plans, etc., prior to is- suance of a grading, on-site, and/or building permits.
