MM AQ-7 Truck Requirements and Restrictions. Prior to issuance of a building permit, the City shall confirm the following:
The loading docks shall be designed to accommodate SmartWay trucks.
Applicant shall provide project specifications, drawings, and calculations that demonstrate that main electrical supply lines and panels have been sized to support heavy truck charging facilities when these trucks become available.
The calculations shall be based on reasonable predictions from currently available truck manufacturer’s data. Electrical system upgrades that exceed reasonable costs shall not be required.
Prior to issuance of a certificate of occupancy, the City shall confirm the following:
Any tenant lease agreement shall require tenants that do not already operate 2010 and newer trucks to apply in good faith for funding to replace/retrofit their trucks, such as Carl Moyer, VIP, Prop 1B, SmartWay Finance, or other similar funds. If awarded, the tenant shall be required to accept and use the funding. Tenants shall be encouraged to consider the use of alternative fueled trucks, as well as new or retrofitted diesel trucks. Tenants shall also be encouraged to become SmartWay Partners, if eligible. This measure shall not apply to trucks that are not owned or operated by the facility operator or facility tenants since it would be legally infeasible to prohibit access to the site by any truck that is otherwise legal to operate on California roads and highways.
Legible, durable, weather-proof signs shall be placed at truck access gates, loading docks, and truck parking areas that identify applicable California Air Resources Board (CARB) anti-idling regulations. At a minimum, each sign shall include instructions for truck drivers to shut off engines when not in use; instructions for drivers of diesel trucks to restrict idling to no more than 5 minutes once the vehicle is stopped, the transmission is set to “neutral” or “park,” and the parking brake is engaged; and telephone numbers of the building facilities manager and CARB to report violations.

• Providing incentives to encourage employees to use alternative modes of transportation.
Biological Resources
MM-BIO-1: Nesting Raptors. Vegetation clearing, structure removal, and ground disturbing activities should be conducted outside of the raptor nesting season (January 15–July 31), where feasible. If these activities occur during the raptor nesting season, a qualified biologist shall conduct a nesting raptor survey within 3 days prior to any disturbance of the project site, including tree and shrub removal, disking, demolition activities, and grading. If active raptor nests are identified, the biologist shall establish suitable buffers around the nests depending on the level of activity within the buffer and species observed, and no construction activity may occur within the buffer areas until the nests are no longer occupied and the juvenile birds can survive independently from the nests, as determined by the qualified biologist. Raptor species will generally have an avoidance buffer of 500 feet; however, these buffers may be reduced in consultation with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. In addition, noise reduction measures consistent with the City of Chula Vista Multiple Species Conservation Program Subarea Plan shall be implemented if deemed necessary by the qualified biologist. If active nests are not identified, vegetation clearing, and ground-disturbing activities may commence. If ground-disturbing activities are scheduled outside the raptor nesting season, a nesting raptor survey will not be required.

Cultural Resources
MM-CUL-1 Cultural Resources Avoidance and Curation Measures.
A. Prior to beginning construction activities, the project archaeologist and Native American representative shall attend any pertinent preconstruction meetings with the construction manager and/or grading contractor in order to provide recommendations and answer questions relating to the archaeological monitoring program. The project archaeologist shall be familiar with the cultural inventory conducted for the current project and shall be prepared to introduce any pertinent information concerning expectations and probabilities of discovery during ground- disturbing activities. Prior to the initiation of construction, the cultural consultant shall acquire all evaluation information and the draft evaluation report, if a report was prepared.
B. Both an archaeological monitor familiar with local resources and a Native American monitor shall be present full time during the initial disturbance of soil with potential to contain cultural deposits. All areas of initial project-related subsurface disturbance shall be assumed to have the potential to contain cultural deposits. Monitoring of initial ground disturbance shall not exceed a depth of 5 feet (1.5 meters) unless cultural resources are identified or if, through direct inspection of subsurface exposures by the project Archaeologist, an area is observed to have the potential to support the presence of archaeological deposits at greater depths. Cultural resources monitoring may be reduced from initial full-time monitoring to periodic spot checks, or discontinued if appropriate, once the project archaeologist determines that there is little or no risk of encountering cultural material.
C. Daily archaeological and Native American monitoring logs shall be prepared. Logs shall include monitor names and affiliations, a description of general activities observed, cultural discoveries, as well as comments or concerns as applicable.
D. In the event of an archaeological discovery, and when requested by the archaeological monitor or Native American monitor, the resident contractor will divert, redirect, or temporarily halt ground disturbing activities in the area of discovery or impacts to allow for preliminary inspection of potentially significant archaeological resources or impacts. The significance of the discovered resources or impacts shall be determined by the archaeologist, in consultation with the City of Chula Vista (City). For significant cultural resources, a Research Design and Data Recovery Program shall be prepared and carried out to mitigate impacts before grading activities in the area of discovery shall be allowed to resume.
E. The project archaeologist shall be responsible for ensuring that all cultural materials collected will be cleaned, catalogued, and curated permanently with an appropriate institution; that a letter of acceptance from the curation institution has been submitted to the City; that all artifacts are analyzed to identify function and chronology as they relate to the history of the area; that faunal material will be identified as to species; and that specialty studies are completed, as appropriate.
The project archaeologist shall make a good-faith effort to ensure that all archaeological material collected through previous work is appropriately curated with any material recovered through construction monitoring.
F. If human remains are discovered, work shall halt in that area and procedures set forth in the California Public Resources Code (Section 5097.98) and State Health and Safety Code (Section 7050.5) shall be followed by the archaeological monitor after notification to the County Coroner by the project Archaeologist. If Native American remains are present, the County Coroner shall X

H. For significant archaeological resources encountered during monitoring, the Research Design and Data Recovery Program shall be included as part of the final evaluation monitoring report.
Two copies of the final monitoring report for significant archaeological resources, if required, shall be submitted to the City. This final monitoring report should also incorporate a summary of the evaluation results and analyses previously conducted within the project area.
I. The archaeologist shall be responsible for recording (on the appropriate CA DPR 523 Series forms) any significant or potentially significant resources encountered during the archaeological monitoring program in accordance with Section 106 and the City’s Cultural Resources Guidelines, and submittal of such forms to the South Coastal Information Center at San Diego State University with the final monitoring results report.
Geology and Soils
MM-GEO-1 Paleontological Resources Impact Mitigation Plan. Prior to commencement of any grading activity on site, the applicant shall retain a qualified paleontologist per the 2010 Society of Vertebrate Paleontology guidelines. The paleontologist shall prepare a Paleontological Resources Impact Mitigation Program (PRIMP) for the project. The PRIMP shall be consistent with the 2010 SVP guidelines and should outline requirements for preconstruction meeting attendance and worker environmental awareness training, where monitoring is required within the proposed project site based on construction plans and/or geotechnical reports, procedures for adequate paleontological monitoring and discoveries treatment, and paleontological methods (including sediment sampling for microvertebrate fossils), reporting, and collections management. The PRIMP shall also include a statement that any fossil lab or curation costs (if necessary due to fossil recovery) are the responsibility of the project proponent/applicant. The qualified paleontologist shall attend the preconstruction meeting and a qualified paleontological monitor shall be on site during any proposed excavation activities that extend deep enough to encounter previously undisturbed deposits of the Bay Point and San Diego Formations. In the event that paleontological resources (e.g., fossils) are unearthed during excavation, the paleontological monitor will temporarily halt and/or divert grading activity to allow recovery of paleontological resources. The area of discovery will be roped off with a 50-foot-radius buffer. Once documentation and collection of the find is completed, the paleontological monitor will remove the rope and allow grading to recommence in the area of the find.
