<br /> Noise Attenuation Policy 4: Scenic Preservation. Design Phase II noise mitigation measures to <br /> be compatible with scenic preservation objectives (see Visual Resources Policy 2 in this <br /> Element). <br /> Noise Attenuation Policy 5: Construction Noise. Develop a construction management plan for <br /> each site-specific project to minimize heavy construction noise adjacent to existing noise <br /> sensitive uses. City construction noise requirements shall be followed. When a construction <br /> phase will occur adjacent to a developed area, limit construction activities as necessary to <br /> preserve a satisfactory noise environment during mornings and weekends. <br /> Wetland and Biolol!ical Resources Objective <br /> TO ACHIEVE NO NET REDUCTION IN WETLAND AND RIPARIAN RESOURCES AS A <br /> RESULT OF DEVELOPMENT WITHIN THE PLANING AREA AND TO SIGNIFICANTLY <br /> INCREASE THESE BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES, WHERE POSSIBLE. <br /> Biological Resources Policy 1: Wetlands and Riparian Retention and Replacement. Retain <br /> riparian corridors and wetland areas within the Planning Area, or, where retention is not <br /> consistent with the land use development plan or flood control objectives, replace disturbed <br /> wetlands and riparian corridors with equal or greater area. <br /> Guidelines: <br /> 1.1 Viable riparian corridor areas should be maintained along all drainage corridors proposed to <br /> remain as open channels by minimizing intrusions, establishing setbacks consistent with <br /> corridor needs, and protecting them from the adverse effects of development on water <br /> quality and habitat values. <br /> 1.2 Created and/or restored wetlands and riparian areas should be designed to achieve higher <br /> habitat values than those areas being replaced. <br /> Biological Resources Policy 2: Use of Native Vegetation. Re-vegetate any disturbed riparian <br /> areas that are to be retained as open space with native riparian species. <br /> Guideline: <br /> 2.1 Re-vegetation should achieve a long-term goal of improved habitat value. <br /> Biological Resources Policy 3: Tree RemovalJPreservation. Retain as many mature, healthy <br /> trees as feasible. <br /> Guidelines: <br /> 3.1 Remove only the minimum number of Sycamore trees from the median and the northern <br /> and southern frontage of Bernal A venue as necessary to accommodate planned access into <br /> Administrative Draft, Bernal Property Phase II Specific Plan, October 25, 2005 Page 47 <br />
