Potentiallmpact. <br />The Original Project's potential impacts on blue oak woodlands are discussed in the <br />DEIR at page 108 and the Environmentally Superior Project's impacts are discussed at <br />page 359. The potential cumulative impacts are discussed at page 388. <br />b. Mitigation Measures. <br />The following mitigation measure is hereby adopted and will be implemented as <br />provided for in the Mitigation Monitoring and Implementation Program: <br />Implement Oak Grove Planned Unit Development (PUD-33) Mitigation <br />Measure D7. <br />c. Findings. <br />Based on the EIR and the entire record before the City, the City finds that: <br />(i) Effects of Mitigation. <br />The Environmentally Superior Project's potential project-level impacts related to the loss <br />of blue oak woodlands and heritage trees from site preparation and development <br />activities, will be mitigated to less-than-significant levels by the preparation of a Blue <br />Oak Woodland Mitigation Plan (BOWMP) as required by the mitigation measure <br />referenced above. The Environmentally Superior Project, as conditioned, requires that <br />the BOWMP shall be prepared by a licensed arborist and shall be submitted to the <br />Planning Director for review and approval before the City's action on the first Final <br />Subdivision Map. The BOWMP shall be based on an updated tree analysis for the <br />development plan and the `Tree Report For The Kottinger Hills Subdivision, Pleasanton, <br />California", prepared by Ralph Osterling Consultants, Inc., dated October 8, 2003, and <br />shall implement the provisions specified in the City of Pleasanton's Tree Preservation <br />Ordinance and by the PUD development plan approval. Implementation of the <br />approved/accepted plan is required of the project developer and the individual lot <br />developers. <br />(ii) Remaining Impacts. <br />Any remaining project-level impacts related to impacts to blue oak woodlands will be <br />less than significant. <br />Exhibit A Page 22 of 45 Ordinance No. 1961 <br />PUD-33, Oak Grove <br />
