BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES
BIO-1: Nesting Birds. Regardless of the time of year, nesting bird surveys shall be performed by a qualified avian biologist no more than 3 days prior to vegetation removal or ground-disturbing activities. Pre-construction surveys shall focus on both direct and indirect evidence of nesting, including nest locations and nesting behavior. The qualified avian biologist will make every effort to avoid potential nest predation as a result of survey and monitoring efforts. If active nests are found during the pre-construction nesting bird surveys, a qualified biologist shall establish an appropriate nest buffer to be marked on the ground. Nest buffers are species specific and shall be at least 300 feet for passerines and 500 feet for raptors. A smaller or larger buffer may be determined by the qualified biologist familiar with the nesting phenology of the nesting species and based on nest and buffer monitoring results. Construction activities may not occur inside the established buffers, which shall remain on-site until a qualified biologist determines the young have fledged or the nest is no longer active. Active nests and adequacy of the established buffer distance shall be monitored daily by the qualified biologist until the qualified biologist has determined the young have fledged or the Project has been completed. The qualified biologist has the authority to stop work if nesting pairs exhibit signs of disturbance.
BIO-2: Burrowing Owl Surveys. Suitable burrowing owl habitat has been confirmed on the site; therefore, focused burrowing owl surveys shall be conducted by a biologist according to the Staff Report on Burrowing Owl Mitigation (CDFG, 2012 or most recent version) prior to vegetation removal or ground-disturbing activities. If burrowing owls are detected during the focused surveys, the qualified biologist and Project proponent shall begin coordination with CDFW and USFWS immediately and shall prepare a Burrowing Owl Plan that shall be submitted to CDFW for review and approval prior to commencing Project activities. The Burrowing Owl Plan shall describe proposed avoidance, minimization, mitigation, and monitoring actions. The Burrowing Owl Plan shall include the number and location of occupied burrow sites, acres of burrowing owl habitat that will be impacted, details of site monitoring, and details on proposed buffers and other avoidance measures. If impacts to occupied burrowing owl habitat or burrow cannot be avoided, the Burrowing Owl Plan shall also describe minimization and relocation actions that will be implemented. Proposed implementation of burrow exclusion and closure should only be considered as a last resort, after all other options have been evaluated as exclusion is not in itself an avoidance, minimization, or mitigation method and has the possibility to result in take. If impacts to occupied burrows cannot be avoided, information shall be provided regarding adjacent or nearby suitable habitat available to owls along with proposed relocation actions. The Project proponent shall implement the Burrowing Owl Plan following CDFW and USFWS review and approval.
Rosemount Self-Storage
Planning Commission Recommended Conditions of Approval
September __, 2024
Preconstruction burrowing owl surveys shall be conducted no less than 14 days prior to the start of Project-related activities and within 24 hours prior to ground disturbance, in accordance with the Staff Report on Burrowing Owl Mitigation (CDFG, 2012 or most recent version). Preconstruction surveys should be performed by a qualified biologist following the recommendations and guidelines provided in the Staff Report on Burrowing Owl Mitigation. If the preconstruction surveys confirm occupied burrowing owl habitat, Project activities shall be immediately halted. The qualified biologist shall coordinate with CDFW and prepare a Burrowing Owl Plan that shall be submitted to CDFW and USFWS for review and approval prior to commencing Project activities.
BIO-3: Artificial Nighttime Lighting. Throughout construction and the lifetime operations of the Project, the City of Cathedral City and Project proponent shall eliminate all nonessential lighting throughout the Project area and avoid or limit the use of artificial light at night during the hours of dawn and dusk when many wildlife species are most active. The City of Cathedral City and Project proponent shall ensure that all lighting for the Project is fully shielded, cast downward and directed away from surrounding open-space and agricultural areas, reduced in intensity to the greatest extent possible, and does not result in lighting trespass including glare into surrounding areas or upward into the night sky (see the International Dark-Sky Association standards at http://darksky.org/). The City of Cathedral City and Project proponent shall ensure use of LED lighting with a correlated color temperature of 3,000 Kelvins or less, proper disposal of hazardous waste, and recycling of lighting that contains toxic compounds with a qualified recycler.
BIO-4: Salvage of Sand-Dependent Covered Species. Prior to vegetation removal or ground-disturbing activities, the City of Cathedral City will collaborate with the Coachella Valley Conservation Commission to plan and implement a salvage of sand-dependent Covered Species within the Project site.
BIO-5: CVMSHCP Compliance. Prior to construction and issuance of any grading permit, the City of Cathedral City shall ensure compliance with the Coachella Valley Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan (CVMSHCP) and its associated Implementing Agreement and shall ensure the collection of payment of the CVMSHCP Local Development Mitigation Fee and transfer of revenues to the Coachella Valley Conservation Commission.
CULTURAL AND TRIBAL CULTURAL RESOURCES
CUL-1 Prior to grading disturbance activities, the City of Cathedral City Planning Department shall inform field personnel of the possibilities of a buried cultural resource find. A qualified archaeologist shall be made available by the applicant during all ground disturbing activities should any unknown cultural resource be uncovered. In addition, because the site is located within the boundaries of the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians (ACBCI) Tribe’s Traditional Use Area, all ground disturbing activities shall be monitored by a ACBCI Tribal Monitor. In the Rosemount Self-Storage
Planning Commission Recommended Conditions of Approval
September __, 2024
event that field personnel encounter buried cultural materials, work in the immediate vicinity of the find shall cease and the qualified archaeologist shall be retained by the applicant to assess the significance of the find. The qualified archaeologist/Tribal monitor shall have the authority to stop or divert construction excavation as necessary. If the qualified archaeologist finds that any cultural resources found meet eligibility requirements for listing on the California Register or the National Register, plans for the treatment, evaluation and mitigation of impacts to the find shall be developed.
If it has been determined that the find, with concurrence of the archaeologist, and tribal monitor/THPO in the case of cultural resources, has significance, the final disposition of the find shall be determined with concurrence between the archaeologist, THPO (in the case of tribal cultural resources) and the City Planner.
Once the mitigation and disposition for the find has been determined, work in the vicinity of the find shall resume at the direction of the archaeologist.
CUL-2: Should human remains be discovered on site during any ground disturbance activities, further ground disturbance activities shall be halted until processes governing an accidental discovery of any human remains have been initiated in accordance with Health and Safety Code 7050.5, CEQA 15064.5(e), and Public Resources Code 5097.98
TRANSPORTATION AND TRAFFIC
TRAN-1: The Project will be conditioned to construct half-width roadway improvement along the property frontage on Rosemount Road including curb, gutter, sidewalk and paving. The proposed traffic signal at the new intersection of Date Palm Drive and Rosemount Road will be constructed by whichever project is constructed first between Date Palm Drive Mixed Use, the Wren Project, and the Vallarta Shopping Center.
