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 are <br />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 Project Developer shall post on the site the <br />allowable hours of construction activity. <br />f. The Project Developer shall designate a noise disturbance coordinator who <br />will 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 to <br />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. All additional best management <br />practices shall be reviewed and approved by the Building and Safety Division <br />and/or City Engineer, prior to implementation. <br />7. Nesting Bird Survey. 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 <br />350 feet of any grading or earthmoving activity. The survey shall be conducted <br />by a qualified biologist, as determined by the City, and occur no more than <br />21 days prior to disturbance. If no active nests are found, no further action is <br />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 <br />young have fledged. This buffer zone shall not extend beyond the Staples <br />Ranch site. The appropriate buffer can be modified by the City in consultation <br />with qualified biologists and the California Department of Fish and Game <br />(CDFG). No action other than avoidance shall be taken without CDFG <br />23 <br />
