S UG G ESTED MODI FICATIONS :
Mello 11 Sement Land Use Plan
1. On page 18, under "Environmentally Sensitive Habitat Areas", a new Policy #3-7
shall be add to read: Wetlands and riparian resources outside the lagoon
ecosystems shall be protected and preserved. No direct impacts may be allowed
except for the expansion of existing circulation element roads identified in the
certified LCP and those direct impacts associated with installation of utilities (i.e.,
water, sewer, and electrical lines). There must be no feasible less environmentally-
damaging alternative to the proposed disturbance; any allowable disturbance must
be performed in the least environmentally damaging manner. Open space
dedication of sensitive resource areas is required.
Mitigation ratios for any temporary disturbance or permanent displacement of
identified resources shall be determined in consultation with the California
Department of Fish and Game and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Appropriate
mitigation ratios shall be determined based on site specific information including the
quality of the habitat being disturbed or destroyed and surrounding site conditions.
2. On page 18, under "Environmentally Sensitive Habitat Areas", a new Policy #3-8
shall be added to read: Buffer zones of 100 feet in width shall be maintained
around all identified wetland areas and SO feet in width shall be maintained around
all identified riparian areas, unless the applicant demonstrates that a buffer of lesser
width will protect the identified resources, based on site-specific information. Such
information shall include, but is not limited to, the type and size of the development
and/or proposed mitigations (such as planting of vegetation or the construction of
fencing) which will also achieve the purposes of the buffer. The buffer shall be
measured landward from the delineated resource. The California Department of
Fish and Game and the United States Fish and Wildlife Sexvice shall be consulted
in such buffer determinations. Buffer zones shall be protected through the
execution of open space easements and passive recreational uses are restricted to the
upper half of the buffer zone.
