Bringhurst LLC at 990 Sycamore Road Initial Study and Negative Declaration DISCUSSION a-d) On April 26, 2019, Olberding Environmental Inc. conducted a field reconnaissance survey of the project site for the purpose of identifying sensitive plant and wildlife species, sensitive habitats, and biological constraints potentially occurring on the project site'. Per the Olberding survey, no sensitive habitats were found and no special status species listed in the California Natural Diversity Database (CNDDB) were observed in or near this site. No California red- legged frog or California tiger salamander were observed, although CNDDB has listed numerous occurrences of their sighting within five miles of the project site. A red-shouldered hawk was observed flying over the Property during the survey. If project construction-related activities such as grading take place during the nesting season (February through August), preconstruction surveys for nesting passerine birds and raptors would be required. Based on the results of the surveys, avoidance procedures would be adopted, if necessary, on a case-by-case basis. These may include construction buffer areas (up to several hundred feet in the case of raptors). As such, the proposed project would not have a substantial adverse impact, either directly or through habitat modification, on any species identified as a candidate, sensitive or special-status species in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations or by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) or U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). The project site contains a section of Sycamore Creek; no wetland areas or other riparian areas were found on the project site. The proposed project would not occur within the creek area and all development would be set back a minimum of 30 feet from the toe of the creek. Therefore, the proposed project would not adversely affect federally protected wetlands or waterways (including but not limited to marsh, vernal pool, coastal, etc.) either individually or in combination with the known or probable impacts of other activities through direct removal, filling, hydrological interruption, or other means, or interfere substantially with the movement of any resident or migratory fish or wildlife species or with established resident or migratory wildlife corridors, or impede the use of wildlife nursery sites. Therefore, the potential impact would be less than significant. e) The project site contains a total of 21 trees; among them, 14 are heritage-sized trees4. The proposed project would not remove any of the existing trees2. 4 Per PMC Section 17.16.006.A, "Heritage tree" means a tree of any species or origin which meets any of the following: 1.Any single-trunked tree with a circumference of 55 inches or more measured four and one-half feet above ground level; 2.Any multi-trunked tree of which the two largest trunks have a circumference of 55 inches or more measured four and one-half feet above ground level; 3.Any tree 35 feet or more in height; 4.Any tree of particular historical significance specifically designated by official action; 5.A stand of trees, the nature of which makes each dependent upon the other for survival or the area's natural beauty. 20 ive by having the additional two parcels.
