City to ensure that invasive species are excluded from the plant palette. Site plans
shall be reviewed to ensure that excess illumination from exterior lighting on-site
does not intrude into habitat preservation areas. The fuel modification program
shall be reviewed by a qualified biologist.
4.5 Prior to issuance of the grading permit, the applicant shall prepare a detailed study
for the creation of 1.2 acres of mulefat scrub on the project site (and also possibly
adjacent City property). A wetland delineation, utilizing the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineer's 1987 "Field Guide for Wetland Delineation" shall be conducted to
verify the total area of disturbance of wetlands and/or Waters of the United States.
The study will then determine the potential hydrologic modifications that may be
necessary (e.g., placement of an additional check dam) for the drainage found on
the eastern border of the project site to accommodate creation of the wetland. This
will include an hydrology analysis to determine if there are sufficient flows within
this channel to maintain the current habitat and the proposed restoration site. This
study will then review the total area for mulefat scrub restoration available in this
channel.
4.6 Prior to issuance of the grading permit, the applicant shall prepare a riparian
creationtenhancement plan that will detail all site preparation procedures, including
grading and ripping, required for this project. A planting plan will be prepared
