action other than avoidance will be taken without CDFG consultation. <br />Completion of the nesting cycle will be determined by a qualified ornithologist or <br />biologist, as determined by the City. <br />The buffer zone will be delineated by highly visible temporary construction <br />fencing, and no intensive disturbance (e.g., heavy equipment operation <br />associated with construction, use of cranes or draglines, new rock crushing <br />activities) or other project related activities that could cause nest abandonment or <br />forced fledging, will be initiated within the established buffer zone of an active <br />nest. <br />If the project is built in phases, this condition of approval will be implemented for <br />each phase of development. <br />12. Archaeological Resources. Prior to the issuance of a grading permit or <br />building permit for the project, the services of a qualified archaeological <br />consultant having expertise in California prehistoric archaeology will be retained. <br />The archaeological consultant will determine if planned development could <br />potentially impact important archaeological resources and will then design an <br />appropriate archaeological monitoring program. Upon completing the <br />archaeological monitoring program, the archaeological consultant will submit a <br />written report of findings first and directly to the Director of Community <br />Development. At a minimum, the archaeological monitoring program will include <br />the following: <br />a. An archaeological monitor will be on site during native soils disturbing <br />activities. <br />b. The archaeological consultant will advise all project contractors to be on the <br />alert for evidence of expected resources, of how to identify the evidence of <br />the expected resources, and of the appropriate protocol in the event of <br />discovering an archaeological resource. <br />c. The archaeological monitor will be present on the Staples Ranch site until the <br />Director of Community Development, in consultation with the archaeological <br />consultant, determines that project construction activities could have no <br />effects on significant archaeological resources. <br />d. The archaeological monitor will record and be authorized to collect soil <br />samples and artifactual/ecofactual material as warranted for analysis. <br />e. If an intact archaeological deposit were to be encountered, all soils disturbing <br />activities in the vicinity of the deposit shall cease. The City will empower the <br />archaeological monitor to temporally redirect <br />demolition/excavation/construction crews and heavy equipment until the <br />17 <br />
