If it is not feasible to remove trees outside <br /> this window then, prior to the beginning of <br /> mass grading, including grading for major <br /> infrastructure improvements, during the <br /> period between February 15 and <br /> August 30, all trees within 250 feet of any <br /> grading or earthmoving activity shall be <br /> surveyed for active nests by a qualified <br /> biologist no more than 30 days prior to <br /> disturbance. If active nests are found, and <br /> the site is within 250 feet of potential <br /> construction activity, a temporary fence <br /> shall be erected, where appropriate, <br /> around the tree(s) at a distance of up to <br /> 250 feet, depending on the species, from <br /> the edge of the canopy to prevent <br /> construction disturbance and intrusions <br /> on the nest area. The appropriate buffer <br /> shall be determined in consultation with <br /> the City of Santa Ana Park Naturalist or a <br /> designee. <br /> 2. No construction vehicles shall be <br /> permitted within restricted areas (i.e., <br /> protection zones), unless directly related <br /> to the management or protection of the <br /> legally protected species. <br /> 3. If a legally protected species nest is <br /> located in a tree designated for removal, <br /> the removal shall be deferred until after <br /> August 30, or until the adults and young <br /> of the year are no longer dependent on <br /> the nest site as determined by a qualified <br /> biologist. <br />Transit Zoning Code (SD 84) EIR Findings of Fact/Statement of Overriding Considerations 2-17
