Mitigation Measure 4. d.1: Vegetation removal and initial site
disturbance shall be conducted between September 1 and January 31
outside of the nesting season for birds. If vegetation and/or tree removal
is planned for the bird nesting season, then preconstruction nesting bird
survey, prepared by a qualified biologist, shall be required to determine
if any active nests would be impacted by project construction. If no
active nests are found, then no further mitigation shall be required. If
any active nests are found that would be impacted by construction, then
the nest sites shall be avoided with the establishment of a non-
disturbance buffer zone around active nests as determined by a
qualified biologist. Nest sites shall be avoided and protected with the
non-disturbance buffer zone until the adults and young of the year are
no longer reliant on the nest site for survival as determined by a
qualified biologist. As such, avoiding disturbance or taking of an active
nest would reduce potential impacts on nesting birds to a less-than-
significant level.
BP PS
Mitigation Measure 4.e.1: Grading and excavation activities shall be
consistent with the City of Atascadero Tree Ordinance. Special
precautions when working around native trees include:
1. During grading activities an arborist must be present.
2. All existing trees outside of the limits of work shall remain.
3. Earthwork shall not exceed the limits of the project area.
4. Low branches in danger of being torn from trees shall be
pruned prior to any heavy equipment work being done.
5. Vehicles and stockpiled material shall be stored outside the drip
line of all trees.
6. All trees within twenty feet of construction work shall be fenced
for protection with 4-foot chain link, snow or safety fencing
placed per the approved tree protection plan. Tree protection
fencing shall be in place prior to any site excavation or grading.
Fencing shall remain in place until completion of all
construction activities.
7. Any roots that are encountered during excavation shall be
clean cut by hand and sealed with an approved tree seal.
8. Utilities such as water, gas, power, cable, storm drainage, and
sewer should be redirected from under the canopy of any trees
that are to remain.
9. Where a building is placed within the canopy of a tree the
foundation should be redesigned so that it bridges across any
root systems.
10. Any foundation or other structure that encroaches within the
drip line of trees to be saved shall be dug by hand.
11. At no time shall tree roots be ripped with construction
equipment.
BP PS/ BS
Mitigation Measure 4.e.2: Tree protection fencing shall be installed at
the locations called out in the Tree Protection Plan. An inspection of the
tree fencing shall be done by City staff prior to issuance of building
permits.

Mitigation Measure 4.e.3: The following measure shall be incorporated
on-site during the construction process of the proposed project:
1. A minimum height construction protective barrier shall
be erected around the drip line of the tree plus 4’. The
fence shall be supported with “T” posts at no more
than 6’ o.c. and tied at least 3 places per post. This
fence shall be installed by the General Contractor
before any rough grading is allowed on the site.
Approval for this stage must be obtained in writing
from either the Arborist or the Counties/Cities
representative.
2. Earthwork shall not exceed the limits of the project
area.
3. Low branches in danger of being torn during
construction process shall be pruned prior to any
heavy equipment work being undertaken.
4. Once the rough grading is accomplished the fence
may be moved closer to the trunk of the tree for finish
grading. At no time shall the fence be placed within
the Critical Root Zone (CRZ). This location is
determined by the diameter of the trunk at Diameter
Breast Height (DBH). (4.5’ above grade) and is 1’ per
1” diameter in the direction of the drip line. At no time
shall the fence be moved closer to the trunk than the
drip line, unless additional preservation measures are
implemented as recommended by the project arborist.
5. Any roots that are encountered over 2” diameter,
during the excavation process shall be clean cut
perpendicular to the direction of root growth with a
handsaw. At no time shall tree seal be applied to any
cut. Any roots over 2” diameter the county/city
representative shall be notified to determine the
preferred course of action.
6. All trenching with CRZ area shall require hand
trenching to preserve and protect roots over 2” in
diameter.
7. No grading of trenching is allowed within the CRZ
fenced area without written permission from the
County/City representative or a certified arborist.
8. Any roots over 4” in diameter are not to be cut or
ripped until inspected and approved in writing by the
arborist.
9. If, for whatever reason, work must be accomplished
inside the drip line 4”-6” of mulch must be applied first
to decrease the possibilities of compaction upon
written approval from the arborist.
10. There shall be a pre-construction meeting between
