a. Construction and tree removal/pruning activities shall be scheduled to avoid the nesting
season to the extent feasible. If feasible, tree removal and/or pruning shall be completed
before the start of the nesting season to help preclude nesting. The nesting season for most
birds and raptors in the San Francisco Bay area extends from February 1 through August
31. Preconstruction surveys (described below) are not required for tree removal or
construction activities outside the nesting period . If construction activities and any
required tree removal occur during the nesting season (February 1 and August 31), a
qualified ornithologist shall be required to conduct surveys prior to tree removal or
construction activities . Preconstruction surveys shall be conducted no more than 14 days
prior to the start of tree removal, pruning or construction. Preconstruction surveys shall
be repeated at 14-day intervals until construction has been initiated in the area after which
surveys can be stopped. During this survey, the ornithologist shall inspect all trees and
other possible nesting habitats in and immediately adjacent to the construction areas for
nests.
b. If the survey does not identify any nesting birds that would be affected by construction
activities, no further mitigation is required . If an active nest containing viable eggs or
yow1g birds is found sufficiently close to work areas to be disturbed by these activities,
their locations shall be documented and protective measures implemented under the
direction of the qualified ornithologist until the nests no longer contain eggs or yow1g
birds.
c. Protective measures shall include establishment of clearly delineated exclusion zones (i.e.
demarcated by identifiable fencing, such as orange construction fencing or equivalent)
around each nest location as determined by the qualified ornithologist, taking into
account the species of birds nesting, their tolerance for disturbance and proximity to
existing development. In general, exclusion zones shall be a minimum of 300 feet for
raptors and 75 feet for passerines and other birds. The active nest within an exclusion zone
shall be monitored on a weekly basis throughout the nesting season to identify signs of
disturbance and confirm nesting status. The radius of an exclusion zone may be increased
by the qualified biologist, if project activities are determined to be adversely affecting the
nesting birds . Exclusion zones may be reduced by the qualified biologist only in
consultation with California Deparhnent of Fish and Wildlife. The protection measures
and buffers shall remain in effect until the yow1g have left the nest and are foraging
independently or the nest is no longer active .
d. A final report on nesting birds and rap tors, including survey methodology, survey date(s ),
map of identified active nests (if any), and protection measures (if required), shall be
submitted to the Planning Manager, through the building permit review process, and be
completed to the satisfaction of the Community Development Director prior to the start
