5.0 Environmental Analysis 5.2 Biological Resources Avion Project SEIR Page 5.2-19 1) Grading during wildlife breeding seasons shall be consistent with the requirements of the MSCP Subarea Plan. As detailed in Section 5.2.4 above, grading would be permitted during the breeding season as subject to certain conditions. 2) Sensitive biological resources that are outside of the allowable development area on a premises, or are acquired as off-site mitigation as a condition of permit issuance, are to be left in a natural state and used only for those passive activities allowed as a condition of permit approval. Mitigation for sensitive biological resources would be accomplished through dedication of approximately 5.61 acres of land on-site to the City’s MHPA to compensate for the deletion of 0.55 acre from the MHPA (net increase of 5.06 acres). Land within the MHPA could only be used as prescribed by the City’s MSCP Subarea Plan. 3) Inside and adjacent to the MHPA, all development proposals shall be consistent with the MSCP Subarea Plan. As described in Section 5.1.5.2 above, the project would be consistent with MSCP Subarea Plan. 4) Projects Located Outside the MHPA The project is located within the MHPA. The MHPA boundary surrounds the area to be developed. 5) Narrow Endemic Species: Outside the MHPA, measures for protection of narrow endemic species shall be required such as management enhancement, restoration and/or transplantation. There are no narrow endemic species are present on the project site. 5.2.7.3 Significance of Impacts Impacts related to local policies or ordinances would be less than significant. 5.2.7.4 Mitigation, Monitoring, and Reporting Mitigation would not be required. 5.2.8 Issue 8: Invasive Species • Would the project result in the introduction of invasive species of plants into a natural open space area?
