b. Select routes for movement of construction related vehicles and equipment <br />so that noise sensitive areas, including residences, and outdoor recreation <br />areas, are avoided as much as possible. Include these routes in materials <br />submitted to the City of Pleasanton for approval prior to the issuance of <br />building permits. <br />c. All site improvements and construction activities shall be limited to the hours <br />of 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Saturday. In addition, no <br />construction shall be allowed on State and Federal holidays. If complaints <br />are received regarding the Saturday construction hours, the Director of <br />Community Development may modify or revoke the Saturday construction <br />hours. The Director of Community Development may allow earlier "start <br />times" for specific construction activities (e.g., concrete foundation/floor <br />pouring), if it can be demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Director of <br />Community Development that the construction and construction traffic noise <br />will not affect nearby residents. <br />d. All construction equipment must meet Department of Motor Vehicle (DMV) <br />noise standards and shall be equipped with muffling devices. <br />e. Prior to construction, the applicant shall post on the site the allowable hours <br />of construction activity. <br />The property owner shall designate a noise disturbance coordinator who will <br />be responsible for responding to complaints about noise during <br />construction. The telephone number of the noise disturbance coordinator <br />shall be conspicuously posted at the construction site and shall be provided <br />to the Director of Community Development. <br />g. Additional best management practices may be required by the Building and <br />Safety Division and/or City Engineer.

Prior to the beginning of tree removal or mass grading, <br />between February 15 and August 15, including grading for major infrastructure <br />improvements, an avian nesting survey shall be conducted of all habitat within 350 <br />feet of any grading or earthmoving activity. The survey shall be conducted by a <br />qualified biologist, as determined by the City, and occur no more than 21 days prior <br />to disturbance. If no active nests are found, no further action is required. <br />If active nests for special status avian species or raptor nests are found within the <br />construction footprint, construction activities shall be delayed within a minimum <br />500 -foot buffer zone surrounding active raptor nests and a minimum 250 -foot <br />buffer zone surrounding nests of other special status avian species until the young <br />have fledged. This buffer zone shall not extend beyond the Staples Ranch site. <br />The appropriate buffer can be modified by the City in consultation with qualified <br />7 <br />
